I really hope that the ogre levels with you, can profit from self buffs like Martial Power and maybe even retains the weapons (armor and headgear might be suicidal ). Otherwise it would only be a nice gimmik at game start and then it would be moot. Like the ranger's pet and druid's spiritshift were in PoE1 until they patched them. Cool builds you could do if that ogre form was implemented properly: Ogre/monk, ogre/barb, ogre/beckoner (having your own ogre clan) even ogre/shapeshifter. Awesome idea to give the Transmuter this ability. Hopefully it's not poorly done. But will will have the beta to test this...

I hope not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goedendag It means "Good Day" in many germanic languages such like Dutch, Low German (Plattdeutsch), Flemish and so on. I don't know if Josh's "Godandag" was inspired by then term "Godendag" though. But since he knows german...

It simply does more dps, even without Predator's Sense. Borresaine is nice and all and I like it on a cipher for example (because wounding does nothing for focus generation while war bows can punch through higher DR more easily) or on a rogue because of the stun on crit, but for a ranger Persistance is simply better - also on lower lvls or gainst foes with high defenses because it's "reliable". It's a good enchantment while you use Swift Aim or Twinned Arrows which lower your ACC.

Why don't you withdraw Kana with a priest? Best trick against dragons in my opinion: untouchable while dealing damage. Yes, marking even works if you are not in melee range. You just need to command the attack and it's on. It's awesome.

What is a CC ranger? If your primary purpose is CC, then better not bring a ranger. If you want to combine good ranged weapon dps and great CC, take a cipher instead. Works great with Stormcaller, too.

I would take Persistance instead of Borresaine. Better dps and constantly triggers Predator's Sense (which I would recommend).

And most important: she has pesky Adragans!

I sense the answer's right here... No, that's the answer to the question "Why Versus Evil?", not "Why not Paradox?". A girl breaks up with you and later has a new boyfriend. When asked why she chose him she says "because he's sooo handsome". That doesn't mean that you look like Sloth from The Goonies and that this was the reason why she broke up. Maybe you just had cheesy feet...

For me no doubt Stormcaller. Take Swift Aim + Driving Flight and later retrain from Swift Aim to Twinned Arrows.

What do you mean? It works with any weapon focus, but you need to take one if you want to get +6 ACC. You could also take WF Adventurer and use a war bow until you get Stormcaller. But if you want to stick to a hunting bow until you find it then WF Peasant will be your best pick. Edit: those ninjas these days...

Na. Always this duplicating. I would take Tall Grass and then Llawran's Stick (has speed) with shocking lash (just because it fits) and Durance's Staff as backup for when you meet crush resistant/immune foes(two damage types). Llawran's stick is really fast if you combine it with things like Frenzy, Swift Strikes or Swift Aim. A barb is also not too bad with Jena's Lance. Grazes with Carnage suck and the lance prevents some. Also the +1 CON stacks with every other CON bonus.

Yes, 4 is a bit messy indoors. 3 is my prefered number of (non reach) melee guys. 4 or more can be nice though if you like to spread out.

Yes. And Devotions + Zealous Focus stack with Inspiring Radiance. You can also cast Dire Blessing (+20% hit to crit rate). So it's possible to get a great crit rate even on a paladin on PotD. Also, if you use FoD (+20 +1 ACC per level) and then Sworn Enemy (+15 ACC) you should be able to generate some crits without the help of others in every encounter. Edit: well it's enough if the priest with Little Savior stays in the second row (casting) and uses his herald-aura on the frontliners.

Depends. If you want to take out certain enemies quickly, then the rogue is better. "Escaping" to your target and killing it quickly while having +25 deflection can be very good. If you want to grind down whole groups, then barbarian is better. Both can be very effective with Tall Grass. The barb has the advantage of being a lot meatier after some levels - while the rogue does crit a lot more often which can lead to perma-prone. Actually now, after I wrote about it, I desperately want to try out a Slicken + Adept Evasion combo in my party. Why on earth didn't I think of this ealier...?

Isn't Gimli a barbarian? I mean the only thing he's doing with his axe is cleaving around. And he gets thrown at his enemies (aka Dragon Leap). He's a messy eater as well...

Don't forget stuck: -20 to reflex and deflection. Comes with your beloved Mental Binding as well.

Huh? What paralyze effect in the early game? You mean Fetid Caress and Mental Binding? Well, maybe only Mental Binding, right?

Well - why not? You can attack enemies with afflictions with your rogue abilities - and when there are no enmies with afflictions you can use your FoD to deal damage. It's more like balancing things out instaed of adding them up, but it's maybe not too bad. It's not great either I have to admit though... I wonder if the second talent of the paladin orders will still be in as pickable option? Like Strange Mercy, The Black Path and stuff? Would be a pity if not.

May I ask why not Paradox again? You may choose the [diplomatic] dialogue option.

Look at the description. It says how much damage Chillfog will do. That's the amount of freeze DR you might want to have. MIN damage will always go through though. But the problem with Chillfog is not the freeze damage but the blinding. You'd need very high fortitude to avoid it - or immunity via the Crossed Patch. Rhymrgand's Mantle will give you DR but the healing part doesn't work on your own Chillfog (last time I tried). Against Slicken you can use the boots of stability and Coastal Aumauas with Weapon & Shield plus high reflex. That alone should be enough I guess. Blaidh Golan armor (Brackenbury Sanatorium) and Pike's Pride armor (Copperlane merchant) both have Break Out which lowers prone/stun duration by 50% which gives you a good edge vs the enemies. Because of your high defenses you will only catch a graze if any, and grazes already only have 50% duration. So you would only have 25% duration while the enemy has 50%, 100% or 150% (at graze/hit/crit). This can be combined with preservation items. Irfin Byrngar's Solace (shield, Drake in the Endless Paths lvl 5 after the pit jump) stacks with Blaidh Golan, giving you +100 to all defenses when you are prone in theory. That's a bit buggy sometimes. But it works most of the time. A front line like this would be great if you use it with Slicken. Maybe try a rogue? He wouldn't get hit that often because enemies are prone - and his Adept Evasion ability might prevent a LOT of Slicken hits.

Tidefall is the melee weapon with the highest damage potential in the game. If you have high MIG then it's one of the best picks for every melee character. The wounding enchantment does get boosted by MIG. The 25% the description mentiones are only the base at 10 MIG. So yes, a Tidefall-Paladin is a good option. BUT: I never tested if Strange Mercy gets triggered if the enemy is killed by a DoT-effect like wounding or if it has to be direct damage. Sanguine Plate + Tempered Helm is a nice addition because of the +4 to MIG. And once this runs out you will most likely kill an enemy and the Tempered Helm will trigger. Also looks good together. Another variant is to use Hours of St. Rumbalt. With FoD you will crit more often (also profiting from annihilating here), then the enemy goes prone and has lower deflection, making consecutive crits with Zealous Focus more likely. Or how about Tall Grass? I actually never did this, but the 10% crit conversion and the %5 of Critical Focus could add up nicely? Maybe try a Hearth Orlan paladin.

I always read "Jack Blacket". Maybe I should combine one with a Troubadour and call the character Tenacious D. Of course they greatest and best chant in the world would be named "Tribute"...

My system is Ubuntu 16.04, Nvidia 555M, 1920 x 1080. I never had any problems. Maybe the Intel graphics is yours. I also have one and sometimes I forget to switch to the Nvidia (hybrid setup). Then I get all kinds of issues like a screen offset of 960 px to the left and weird stuff like that.

Nope, no points in cruel.
