Comtessa's Cage
Yes - nicely explained. When I said "works like Confident Aim" I only meant that it adds something to your min damage. The way it gets calculates is different of course. I actually didn't know how Confident Aim and Comtessa's Gage work together (like - what comes first and so on) - now I do.

Gyrd Háewanes Sténes on Druid?
It works with Blast. So if you hit 5 enemies with Blast the chance to dominate is ~41%.

Curse of Blackened Sight and the Adra Dragon
Yes, her natural speed is pretty slow so -2 roots her in place.

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part 2
Boeroer replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I have not seen the high level spells nor do I know which impact the earlier gain of higher level abilities will have in the early/mid/late game. Therefore I can't say if a single class nuker is better or worse than a multiclass one. I can only say that Fury/Evoker was fun to play in the Beta (with MaxQuest's casting speed mod).

3-man PotD run - suggestions?
I'd go for a Citzal's Spirit Lance Wizard, then a priest of Skaen with Firebrand (Belt of the Royal Deadfire Cannoneer + Forgemaster Gloves) and a Priest of Berath with Tidefall. All of them would use Veteran's Recovery I guess.

Early solo: How?
Slow? You mean running here and there for resting bonuses? If you have meta knowledge you know exactly where high mechanics is needed and you can rest accordingly. You don't need mechanics 15 all the time. There's also a rite scroll that can help from time to time with mechanics.

Theorycrafting: Wouldn't a paladin be one of the best offensive scroll users?
That's not really a scroll.

Ranged/Backline Chanter (Kana)
It is bugged and gets slower and slower with every upgrade...

Boeroer replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)They were underpowered before a certain patch that made class/tusks/etc. and armor scale with level. Same patch also raised animal companion's damage and DR.

Curnd password: What does it mean?
It's a parole for a gem trader in Ondra's Gift. He's located north-east of the Salty Mast in a back alley and he's only there at night. Besides that I have no idea what it means. It sounds like "I am an elf" in Low German though.

Is separating enemies and killing them off in smaller groups cosidered cheesing?
In a solo run it's quite common to do split-pulling, kiting and so on.

Ranged/Backline Chanter (Kana)
Sagani is also great with Persistence. Its wounding enchantment can be used to trigger Predator's Sense 100% of times. It's also the ranged weapon with the highest single target dps.

Stormcaller Chanter Questions
All those except the Sabre of the Seas come pretty late...
-
3-man PotD run - suggestions?
Inspiring Radiance stacks with itself, so I'd do two priests and a wizard.

Theorycrafting: Wouldn't a paladin be one of the best offensive scroll users?
Scon Mica's Roar doesn't reduce enemies' defenses by -30. Disorienting no longer stacks, so it's just -5. The best scroll user in terms of accuracy is a fighter (30 starting + 20 from Disciplined Barrage) or a rogue in terms of damage (Deathblows + Deep Wounds). Paladins are good against one single target with Sworn Enemy.

Stormcaller Chanter Questions
Yes, overseeing influences chant radius, but also the size of invocations (usually cone shaped, so the length of the cone will get influenced). The racial ability of Wood Elves named Distant Advantage is fixed. Watch out: using multiple accounts is against the forum rules and can get you a warning strike. I personally don't mind, just saying.

Ranged/Backline Chanter (Kana)
If you don't use a ranger then I'd give him Stormcaller, use Wengrith & Sure Handed Ila, light armor and spam Killers as often as possible.

Early solo: How?
You have to get Gloves of Manipulation and use resting bonuses when solo. That way you can get +5 to mechanics which is enough for nearly all traps and chests (with lockpicks). So putting 10 into mechanics is more than enough. You'll also want at least 4 in survival and you also need some points of lore for the most important scrolls for boss fights (Moonwell and so on).
-
Death/Dark Knight like build suggestions?
My suggestions: - Bleak Walker with Tidefall or Firebrand - Barbarian with Tidefall - Chanter with Soft Winds of Death/Endless Host as phrases and all those invocations that cicrle around fear, death and decay, wielding Tidefall - Priest of Skaen with Firebrand

Some Paladin ability names and a cross class are a bit...D and D?
Boeroer replied to Torm51's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I like it that there's both among them: religious fanatics/zealots (Steel Garrote, Fellows oSWM) and mundane ones (Goldpact, Darcozzi and so on). That way everybody could play their favorite types of paladin (in theory). I just don't understand why OBS didn't take the chance and introduced more paladin orders (and also more priests) as playable subclasses with Deadfire. I hope they do it with expansions.

Boeroer replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Ah - Muscle Wizard! Finally I can play the game as myself again...
- What are the best builds for companions?

Boeroer replied to Torm51's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Even in this case where a paladin order is connected to a god (Woedica) I would say that "hands of light" and "Sacred Immolation" don't fit. It's Woedica...

A ranged only Paladin.. can it be good?
You can't go to WM after you jump into the pit to get Thaos. WM is meant to be tackled at lvl 6-8, WM II would be ok at lvl 12+. Those are not expansions you play after the main game, but in between. They are woven into the main game.

Toughest fight in the game?
If you do Gilded Vale (pick up Aloth+Edér) -> Mangrans Fork (pick up Durance) -> Caed Nua Entrance (pick up Kana) -> Valewood -> Analög's Compass -> Madhmr Bridge -> Temple of Eothas -> Esternwood -> Raedric's Hold and finally Caed Nua/Maerwald the phantoms are whimpy sausages and not hard at all.
