  1. Simple, easy POTD party, but I'd like to see this mechanic fixed if it hasn't already been by the latest patch: 5 bards in plate armor stack the flame/slash DOT chant available at lvl 9. At 20 might it does approx. 10 dps x 5 = 500 passive AoE damage in 10 seconds. Since it's a DOT, it's not reduced by DT. Dragons before the White March have less HP than this. Throw a priest in slot 6 for accuracy/might buffs and occasional heal/cure.
  2. Pre-expansion comments: Riposte is viable in a high deflection build, which is hard to do without a shield and is only useful if your rogue is the MT. It seems like you are more interested in dps so go with a crit build. Estocs are very appealing but fall behind a great sword with annihilation (+50% damage on crit). Duel sabers with annihilation are theoretically even more overall damage, but a greatsword with knockdown or even a reach weapon is easier.
  3. FYI, in beta 2.0 patch at least, food for different attributes and stack, so you can cheaply get +2 to all stats at the same time. Prostitute boons, except for Serele who is once only anyway, don't stack with themselves, but they stack with resting bonuses. So you can add another +2 Mig from the female dwarf on the 2nd floor of the Salty Mast. Retrain your Dex and Con to 18s before hiring her for the first time. She enjoys your company she refunds your coin and she becomes an available stronghold hireling. You can still lay down with her in the stronghold, but no boon is granted Repeat with the other staff if desired then retrain back to your normal stats and they'll continue to buff you for free. I wouldn't be surprised if the food stacking is unintended and will be patched.
  4. I can't speak to White March, but this worked well for me so far. I started with a max deflection orlan pally MT and found it to be overkill. I use a rogue MT (central stats below) and a pally OT (3 CON tremendous support buffs and solid dps). Everyone else in high dps ranged party also has 3 Con, but Con is useful on MT for fortitude saves against KD/stunn - the HP itself is kind of meh on a high deflection/reflex build. Pally MTed mostly until around level 6. Stats Talent Ability Mig 21 crippling strike Dex 18 sword and shield Con 18 reckless assault Int 3 deflecting assault Per 3 riposte Res 15 superior deflection deep wounds (synergizes with riposte) savage blows deathblows vulnerable attack
  5. Cipher lvl 2 Confuse main bear Ranged weapon Antipathic field furthest bear Shoot last, nearly dead bear right before it one-shots you Be prepared to reload a lot. Took me over an hr pre version 2.0 , which would have made it slightly easier with accuracy from perception.
