Boeroer

Which I got rather irritated by, considering that's instantly the only pet worth having equipped. But I decided that you can take my love, you can take my land, you can take me where I cannot stand. I do not mind, however, for you can not take the Tiny White Wurm from me. I'm pretty sure a skilled surgeon could help you with that... Hrm, would have been more funny if you were male, Mrs. Reynolds.

Well... maybe we can combine my vote for a wicht barb companion and a Super-Pet: give us a wicht Super-Pet which can do Heart of Fury 1/encounter. It has crappy INT though, so the radius will be limited.

Because... money?

Moon Godlike are blessed by Ondra. So technically this is moon godlike. We could say "Ondra Godlike". Maybe there are different "interpretations" of the gods' blessings - dependent on the place and how the gods (or the gods aspects) are worshipped there. I can imagine the Huana see Ondra as a goddess of the ocean mainly. She has this aspect, too (sea, tides, Alzheimer and so on). So Ondra-Godlike of huana origin might tend to look a bit different. More ocean godlike than moon godlike. But look at his forehead: he has a moon symbol there. It's not as prominent as with PoE1 moon godlikes though.

There's already a "super-pet" in PoE1: Concelhaut's Skull. It wasn't only a cosmetic addition. I guess super-pets in Dead fire will be something like that.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood you. Weird. Sounds like a strange bug. Maybe you got it twice accidentally and that was corrected while leveling up. Who knows?

When using marking and coordinated attacks it works like so: - Engagement doesn't do anything for it. - The marker has to directly attack the target. Either with auto-attacks or with an ability. Also works during recovery or reloading. Once he drinks a potion, uses healing or whatever is not directly attacking the marking stops (=no casting AoEs which have no direct target like Fireball and so on). It picks up once you click on the target again with an attack order. - Same with the guy who benefits from marking. - Positioning doesn't matter - Never tested carnage with marking. I doubt it works with carnage-hits. But you should run a test. I guess Minor Threat, Coordinating enchanent and Mob Justice work the same way. The last two are easy to test. Minor Threat is difficult to test. It would have been really great if OBS did create some small visual signal for this. If they can display Sworn Enemy and Flanked they should also be able to display "marked" or something. On the target or on the receiver. By the way: Carnage gets +1 ACC per level because it's an ability. If you take Accurate Carnage and have some levels your ACC with Carnage will be higher than with your initial attack. That's why barbs don't have a lot of problems to crit with carnage later in the game. Other great sources of ACC for carnage are a Darcozzi Paladini with Inspiring Liberation + Zealous Focus and a priest with Devotions. Carnage will be at +36 then. Usually that's enough to crit with Carnage all the time - not dragons and archmages though.

Retaliation works, but DoT effects don't. At least the last time I tried.

It supresses itself. Every time you do damage Deep Wounds get reapplied - but they do not stack! It's like you are only refreshing the duration (the later appliance will kick in once the first runs out). Other things which do raw damage on hit like wounding (unique enchantment on a weapon) do stack though. Deep Wounds doesn't. Don't ask me why - we all would be happy if it stacked.

I killed him so many times while he was examining those carvings on the wall... You don't get many fine estocs and a turban of INT+1 for free at that stage.

That shouldn't be the case - I never experienced that behaviour.

You like some good hairsplitting I presume. I just responded to a post where someone said that they would like a ranged barb - and I agree. Nothing more. I think we should leave it to OBS how they want to see their barbarians. By the way: From PoE, ingame description of the class. Increased font weight by me. Pwnd! Maybe OBS doesn't want do get into animal totem territory. Maybe they do. But I guess since druids and rangers already are associated with animals the chances are not too high. But who knows?

Nope. It's a seperate instance of FoD that doesn't profit from your talents. So it's normal unbuffed FoD. Same as with Frenzy from the Sanguine Plate and Greater Frenzy by the way. I didn't test it excessively so I can't answer the last question. I think it will add an additional FoD lash on top of the other, but can't say for sure. I guess it would be better to use that weapon on a barbarian or monk for a higher proc chance thorugh AoE use or a rogue for higher lash damage (since lashes are calculated with the actual physical damage you did - including dmg mods like Sneak Attack/Deathblows).

Sure, but other subclasses like paladin orders or priests' faith have special talents. Same with the Black Jacked Fighter: less damage, less ACC, but more weapon skills. It's not that far fetched that you could give a barb subclass a "madman tosses grenades" ability or something like that. As far as barbs are concerned I can't think of too may distinct subclasses.

Do you have Swift or even Lightning Strikes? Because Frenzy's speed bonus doesn't stack with Swift Strikes. Besides that, Frenzy is perfect for a monk. He doesn't want to have too high deflection anyway because he wants some wounds - and the speed bonus is nice, too. Frenzy boosts fortitude by 16 points, which is much more important than 10 deflection (except against Cleansing Flames from Thaos). If you have Iron Wheel your armor can be fairly light. For example durgan reinforced Gwisk Glas with 0 recovery penalty or the Robes of the Tidebringer. For the last fight Angio's Gameson with it's DAoM use might also be great.

You mean they run around with you - but when combat starts they fetch their folding chairs, prepare some hot dogs on the mobile grill, grab some beers and maybe do some whooping?

I also think that a ranged barb variant with grenades would be fun (it could be a simple x/encounter ability similar to an AoE spell like Fireball, no need to introduce throwing weapons for that). Could scale with level or simply get some additional talents which alter/improve it. Other than that, I don't see how you can go into "rage mode" with ranged weapons. I mean a machine gun would fit, but luckily we don't have that. The thing that comes close is using all guns you have, run into the fray and go berzerk, fire away, dropping guns and pulling out fresh ones - until they are all empty. Kind of Heart of Fury, but with pistols or blunderbusses.

We could call the ship the Black Bead instead. It's like a pearl, but less obvious. Instead of Depp, we could ask Robert Carlyle. I mean he already was the model for Serafen.

The ship could be made from bast. And it has a very creative design, like a piece of art... It's basically, well... (jump in!)

Right. The questline for our beloved wicht companion (who's name is "Gnarr" by the way) will be that you'll have to mend his soul. He will never be a poster child, but maybe you can stop him from chewing Aloth's ankles all the time.

I often use Pull of Eora to bring together a lot of enemies and then cast all kinds of spells onto their heads (or under their feet) that do damage/CC repeatedly. Like Chillfog, Malignant Cloud, Wall spells and so on. Or I use implement + Blast on them. Putting a druid's fire stag in the middle of a crowd which suffers from Pull of Eora is also funny. The best part however is that there's no immunity. It works with every type of enemy. And often the actions they were trying to complete - like casting spells or rushing my backline - get completely cancelled once they have been dragged around.

That sounds great and promising.

Acuan Giamas'ses spell stealing works with carnage. It's fun. The best part is that Blood Thirst and Bloodlust also get triggered by kills via spells. They both stack with Frenzy. If you manage to steal Calling the World's Maw from an ogre Druid and start to cast it with no recovery the game breaks.

I like that! The ship could still be there - as a shipwreck or just slightly damaged (sails burned or torn or whatever). Yeah Fluffle - if we could pin the thread that would be very helpful I guess. Once this goes to 2. page it will lose momentum.

It's going to be a wicht barbarian. I know because Robert Carlyle called and told me...
