Boeroer

I'm too p!ssed to even think about a cipher build right now.

If you use Rimecutter you could think about using the high damage invocation that sends out seven ice beams (seven nights she wept or something?). It's very good in melee because if you stand right in front of a foe (even better if it's a pack of them) you can manage it so that three ice beams hit him. They each do huge damage. Three of them can kill a single kith. And there's a big chance that you hit a lot of other enemies, too - because the AoE is huge (albeit somewhat stupid to target since it's pattern is that of a star). Rimecutter and this would work well with Secrets of Rime. I mean: Rimecutter and Secrets of Rime - combined in a chanter who sings rhymes...

You can also use Infuse with Vital Essence at the end of a fight to get back 50 health. Works with potions and spell. Or used to work - don't know if it still does.

Hehe.

It's good. Especially the rending. But for a ranger the three hunting bows above are better if they hit lvl 11.

Well - you can beat some of those marksmen on lvl 8 or 9 to get some nice exceptional arquebuses and then leave.

Erm - who exactly requested this?

So tell me - why does my hungarian friend speak italian so fluently? All I could unterstand was "Pillars of Eternity", "The White March" and "feedback". You know - all those old italian words...

Haha - I can really imagine the expression on your face when you wrote this.

Yeah, as I said. I did a test with 6 barbs - two of them with disorienting weapons (White Spire, Vile Loner's Lace) and one with interfering (Lost Theyn's Reach) and it complements each other really well. You cause massive debuffs to defenses AND accuracy.

Very nice - but I'm confused. Wouldn't Shod-in-Faith be good? Because the fear aura crits you all the time (without Prayer) is would heal you and the bear a lot. Not that if you needed it this time - but as a backup if more blights managed to reach you? What about Lenas Er's defense debuff? With your high attack speed it should be possible to debuff the dragon by -50 I think. Even without stunning shots this would perhaps allow the confused blights, wraiths etc. to hit the dragon. Maybe you could still use Persistence for wounding if you had Quick Switch or the Coil of Resourcefulness...?

Did you mean Disorienting (-5 defense on hit)? Or really Interfering (-5 ACC on hit)? Both do stack by the way.

If you want single target CC and hefty debuff: Lenas Er If you want AoE CC and debuff:Stormcaller If you want your pet to do tons of damage: Persistence. I find all three to be very good bows. Few people know that the -5 defense from Disorienting on Lenas Er stacks. So Twinned Arrows will cause -10 to defenses with one shot. If you manage to shoot really fast and cause lots if crits, you can stack it for like -30 to -50 to all defenses. That's on top of the stun debuff! This also works against pierce immune enemies. But you get that bow very late. So I don't advice anyone to build a char around it.

And reload time! Don't forget reload time!

Let's agree that you wouldn't notice the difference in combat unless you really want to.

I really don't know what you mean. PoE's level cap was 12. Then came WM Part I and raised it to 14. With WM Part II we will have a cap of 16.

Exactly. I didn't say that "addexperiencetolevel 16" would work.

So we nerf a class so that it's only working on PotD? WTF???

I'm only playing PotD and can't see how this statement makes the situation any better. You have to admit it: it's just too much. As I said: no problem with a nerf of certain abilities. But demotivate players to use all powers above lvl 3 can't be the way.

Two paladins are really great for healing. They don't only have Lay on Hands, but also Healing Chain and Sacred Immolation later on - it does not only damage, it also heals your allies. If you are a Kind Wayfarer you have other means of healing. If you are a Moon Godlike Kind Wayfarer you... just overegg the pudding.

Just type "addexperiencetolevel 16" and see what happens.

A nerf of Amplified Wave (smaller AoE, less damage), Ring Leader (shorter duration, smaller AoE) and Tactical Meld (not usable before combat anymore) and also Ectopsychic Echo (less damage) would have been totally ok. Still doesn't explain why they nerfed EVERY power above lvl 1. Even the balanced ones. It's ok if the powers of a cipher are a bit weaker than the spells of the other casters since he has a kind of per encounter mechanic - but that doesn't mean you have to make the casting above lvl 3 comletely useless. Now they still can spam low-level spells but will never cast Desintegration or Borrowed Instincts and whatnot.

Exactly. Like I said: the new old ranger.

That would be so good. At the moment quick switching is a micromanagement hell.

It would be better if the immunities are only displayed if you saw that your attack failed due to immunities. How can I know that a XY is immune to prone if I just shot it with an arrow?
