Maybe because Unbroken/Wizard was too powerful. That combo was quite cheesy.

A Dark Souls player amongst PoE?… ☺ More like a FTL-on-hard-mode player.

Or are you charmed?

Sure, why not. I said it - so here we go. Just let's clarify that I said: That may get interpreted differently.

Very good suggestions. Please do that. Especially the automatic weapon switching would be nice. Would be even nicer if it could have special if-clauses like "if enemy is vulnerable to pierce, switch to an according weapon" (if there's one in my weapons sets). Or "If my gun is empty and I'd have to realod, switch to a loaded gun instead (if there's any in my weapons sets)". THis would make the Black Jacket so much better. Because currently - let's be honest - that class is Captain Poopyshoes.

Nonono, lowering the difficulty is for bad players, not bad classes.

Ah ok. Well, I'm glad that this was rather easy to fix.

This can be caused by steam if you use the cloud saving/synchronizing method. I also lost all my savegames after I bought a new computer and freshly installed steam + PoE (was also a different operating system: Ubuntu 17.04 -> Windows 10). I was expecting this though, so I made a backup of my saves. But these things can happen. I can't say what you can do to get them back. Is there some kind of history in the steam cloud? I mean if you're using steam in the first place that is...

I think with Cleave it's the same problem as with Swift Flurry: ANBAs (additional, non-animated bonus attacks ) derived from Swift Flurry and Cleave should not be allowed to trigger further ANBAs. Problem solved, but still a very useful combo. I like those crit-builds. What about Citzal's Lance + Cleave? Also weird "m-m-m-monsterkill!" behavior?

I also think that it sounds rather good. Not for a char who stands in the fray and has bad defenses, but for any tanky char this should eliminate enemies' grazes pretty nicely, what do you think? Now without endurance/health it's basically the same as an endless healing source that does 30 points of healing per tick. If I think about it that way it sounds rather amazing. I also guess it kind of stacks (also from different chanters) like in PoE, where a dissolved shield got immediately replaced by a previously suppressed one. By the way: does Ancient Memory from different Chanters still stack? I believe it does, but I didn't test it.

Arterial Strike only causes damage when the enemy moves. Did you take that into account? As long as the enemy doesn't move it does 0 raw damage. However, if you combine things like Binding Web + Arterial Strike with Blast things get interesting: enemies will try to move but are stuck, and Arterial Strike will already cause damage if you try to move (if you issue the command), even if you can't because you are stuck. However, I think it's a pretty good ability but not too powerful as long as you don't play "attack and run away" all the time.

But it will get +1 ACC per char level. Fists will not. But I agree that it's much weaker than in PoE - and even there it isonly worthwhile if you cast Citzal's Martial Power first.

Minoletta's Minor Missiles is indeed an auto-hit spell.

The initial attack still uses STR I presume, it's only the AoE cone that uses RES. Still not very plausible - but that's the case with all AoE damage effects which are not derived from weapon damage (like carnage, Deadfire's new Blast and Deadfire's new Spirit Lance). Like Rooting Pain and any other spell-like AoE damaging effect.

Ah, ok.

If you look at the build "Drake's Ambassador" you'll see a defensive Dragon Thrashed chanter. That build was not for solo play and had some roleplaying fluff so you might want to improve it on the defensive side and improve the self-healing (that build is kind of old and pre WMII,so it lacks some talents/abilities). But basically that's a blueprint for a Dragon Thrashed chanter. Also looks kind of great if you don't mind the self-laudation.

Yes, something like this. Or shorter casting time of your school or whatever. Or +3 power level or... Something substantial. Not a 6-sec transformation that will leave you with -4 INT or a familiar that is of little use.

They also changed it because you would be gimping yourself if you took a two hander. Full Attack was too powerful in PoE in my opinion. Also because the cone doesn't care at all about the damage of the weapon. So a slow heavy hitter was the worst choice while two fast hitting weapons were perfect. I like this change - and I'm a big fan of the PoE monk. Too bad Turning Wheel is not there anymore.

That's a very good approach.

"My installation of PoE" sounds very prosaic.

Stag carnage is only supposed to happen once the stag crits with the initial attack. Is that the weirdness you were experiencing or something else?

You know that only 50% of misses get reflected with Soul Mirror, right?

Mee too. The spell restrictions exclude you from too many useful spells. The subclass bonuses don't balance this out by any means. It also reduces your overall spell choice and as a single class wizard you end up taking spells you don't really want or need.

I can totally agree to that (I have no strong opinions in favor nor against STR/RES or MIG by the way).

There is a big difference though: When it comes to a new product (and you have nothing substancial to show yet, only theories and ideas), then you are right: customers don't really know what they want (yet). Most of the time they don't even know what they really need. They know what they liked so far, but they can't foresee if they like new features A or B - because those are new and unknown until now, not implemented yet and the customer can't imagine if those features are likeable or not. And since most people are a bit neo- and xenophobic by nature they will rather stick to the old stuff. Until they can experience those new things. This is a beta. It's another situation. Here you have some real stuff that's already implemented. You can try it out and then tell if you like it or not. In this case the claim "the customer/fan doesn't know what he wants" doesn't apply. After some playing time most people will exactly know what they like and what not and most will also have proposals that are thought through. They may not be ideal solutions but they are far from idiotic, stupid or uninformed. It's like doing a market research while saying "but never mind the results, the customers are stupid anyways". That's a 100% guarantee to fail with your new product. It's like presenting an idea for a new fragrance that will be made from whale puke - and everybody's like "Yuck!". They don't know that ambra smells very good in very small quantities and you as inventor can say "They don't know yet, they are a bit stupid, but I will show them". But then, when you give out samples and 75% of the customers still say "Yuck! Dude!" then you should change your attitude and improve your product.
