If all immunities can be damped with Arcane Dampener, then "Hello again Repulsing Seal, where have you bee... whohaa" says the dragon.

Update: I'm too tired to test that today. Will go to sleep now...

It's a known bug. While retraining, the game won't remove the bonus from Transcendent Suffering. It will get applied over and over again every time you retrain. You could build a monk that kills everything with one hit that way. The bug is filed and will be fixed. You just have to wait. The only way to bring him to lvl 12 would be the usage of the console: open console type "iRoll20s" type "addExperienceToLevel 12" You will lose all steam achievements of that savegame id you type in the iRoll20s thing though.

Dual sabres are good. Any weapon that does high damage and/or has some disabling effect is good. Besides that: Frenzy gives you +33% attack speed. That's ok with a two hander even if you wear thicker armor. You only need to put on heavy armor at the beginning. Later hide armor and the like will do. And you can have some nice defensive ablilities/talents like the Yell, One Stands Alone, Threatening Presence and Savage/Stalwart Defiance. Against dragons: he will cook the meal for the guys that come back to camp after they slew the beast. Barbs vs. dragons is a tragic drama. But they are nice mob killers. They are like rogues, just the other way round...

I can open up the PoE-console when my kids are in bed.

Barbaric Blow is not so good. Everything that is great about barbs evolves around carnage. Two handers and Vuln. Attack are great for AoE dps because carnage has only 66% dmg of the original hit and you don't want to lose all the damage because of enemy DR. Draining on weapons works great with carnage. Great healing source. You can get Gaun's Share in the Tempel of Eothas. You get the best results (in my opinion) when you build your Barb as an Interrupt Machine. You can lock whole groups with Interrupts until they are dead - and there's no immunity against that. Make sure to bring some concentration/resolve debuffs like frighten and terrify.

I think it's overrated. There are exceptions like tanky rogues with Deep Wounds and melee ciphers though.

Yes, they stack with pretty much anything that gives +% attack speed. That's why I never find them.

Wha? Are you serious? There are a lot of retaliation items but few with Preservation. It's very handy when you get stunned or knocked down. Your defenses will still be high and you don't get pummeled to death. You can't stack it by the way.

What? How cool is that? Nice info! I have to test that on Concelhaut, who's immune to pierce and shock (poor Stormcaller ranger).

It's the same enchantment as on Blaidh Golan e.g. (the hide armor you can find in the Brackenbury Sanatorium in Cadman Azo's place). It's very good for a frontliner. Reatliation is ok if you know how to employ it, but this one is better I think. However - the dialogue options to get it are somewhat painful. Edit: I also had a screenshot made - but L4wlight was quicker.

I found out (and read in the technical discussion forum) that Flick of the Wrist gets suppressed by Prey on the Weak. It's a filed bug now and will likely be fixed, but at the moment it doesn't work. I never noticed this when I was playing this priest build. Maybe this bug only occurred recently, maybe the +4 ACC weren't noticable at all in the first place (after you get 90+ ACC, you don't really feel the difference any more). I just wanted you to know that at the moment you don't have to spend hours on a game named "Orlan's Head Save & Reload Mayhem".

Great, thanks. One of my builds uses this (Prey on the weak + Weapon Focus Ruffian + Flick of the Wrist). Would be so sad if it didn't work.

Please check the temperature of your cpu and graphics card. I had lots of problems with PoE heating up my graphics device to the point that the computer just shut down to prevent serious damage. It was a notebook by the way. The fact that you could play for an hour and then had these problems may point to overheating. I solved this issue by using a vakkum cleaner to suck up every bit of dust in case and then made sure that the airflow is ok. Now it all works fine. Maybe this helps - maybe not. But it's easy to find out I guess.

I'm also using a Notebook with integrated plus dedicated graphics (hybrid). When I use the Nvidia Settings to switch to the Nvidia device it works. So maybe that's not a Unity related problem but one of the Surface Book? I doubt it's a hardware problem though.

I will support Achilles because I also experienced some weird stuff with this encounter. I had a somewhat different "problem" after finishing this bounty quest though, but maybe it's related: Every time I enter the map (after dealing with the Gl. Soc.) and go near the spot the combat music will start, the combat log will say something like "Gleaming Society Whoeverguy is activating Whateverability" - like it always says when you start an encounter. But in this case there's nobody there. The "fake" encounter stops after afew seconds and everything goes back to normal.

Well... at least you have regeneration then!

Even in the PoE subforums there are huge differences: in the "Character builds" subforum everything is nice and cosy most of the time - while the "General discussion" is filled with a lot of... well... bitching?

Good that you point that out. You are right. I also discovered that in the meantime. I totally forgot to correct my statement above. Sorry for the misinformaton.

Sounds like the motto of this build.

Well, I think it's a good topic and post. So... this time you have my support, brindle88.

Really? That's good to know. I never had that issues - but I never used that spell a lot before this build. Maybe it counts as "reapplied" when Spelltongue prolongs the duration of Suppress Affliction? As if it was cast again on me? Or my defenses where high enough at that time when I used the ring that it didn't really matter. I had this idea quite late in my hasty playthrough. But on the other hand: I remember reading a lot of (suppressed) status effects on my barb all the time after putting on the ring. However: I will test that excessively in the next days to clear this up. The remark concerning Liberating Exhortation is good info. This will work perfectly well on the barb I guess. Same with Hastening Exhortation and stuff.

Wow - that was quick. Thanks a lot! I learned that you can also find it via google. The forum search is annoying as hell with all that flood control.

AndreaColombo: Somebody posted a really nice portrait of a red-faced female Island Aumaua and you said that you'd like to have that for you LoP - can you remember? I can't find it in the forum anymore. Can anybody help me with that?

Firebrand would also be a good choice for the second weapon slot I guess. Does anybody know if it also has this "flexible" weapon focus like Concelhaut's Staff, Citzal's Lance and the soulbound weapons (I mean that no matter which weapon focus you have, it applies to it)? I lately realized that despite the description of Firebrand I can't switch weapon slots any more if I cast it. Is this a bug?
