We're just lvl 7. Me: Devoted/Helwalker 2x shotguns Eder Swashbuckler Tank Xoti Pure priest Alot Pure wizzie mostly missles buffs and expose vulnerabilities. Serafen Pure cipher 2x pistols. I have Maia (spelling?) and Pallagenia(SP?) available atm also. Thoughts? Me aloth and Eder seem decent but Xoti and Serafen dont really seem to pull their weight.

So I've been watching a ton of critical role, started playing dnd 5e thanks to roll20 (I'm old school so this tool is fricken amazing for me) albeit its just once every two weeks. *sighs whistfully* if only it could be more. But yeah right now im so engrassed and I love it. My mmo has fallen completely to the wayside and I'm happy for it. Sidenote, I would fricken love a Eora Campaign in 5e. PS The plethora of magical wares available upon visiting Nekataka make me wish I was a better theory crafter. Can't wait till Boeroer makes some odd lore friendly creations like he did in POE1.

After lookin' at all the food vendors and shops I feel like this game did a better job of finding ways for us to spend coin, or maybe its just me.

I... I love this. So much better then the city in POE1. I find myself wandering and just reading and talking to people. I do not feel rushed to complete some fetch quests to get the next fight going. However I put so much time into POE1 maybe this shine will wear off. Either way... Too happy.

Warning, my thoughts are all over the place, here goes: I'm the same as you, I keep looking for the impossible and rerolling. It's embarrassing how many hoursI have and how little I've actually seen of the game. I don't want to be a one trick pony or an auto attacker, I prefer melee or hybrid over just casting. I want mobility too, and a character I can identify with. It's a tall order i know, I've done Port Maje so many times I cringe at the opening sequence now. Some thought's based on what I see, you seem to want a bruiser. If you could forget the classes completely, what would you like your character to look like? how would his disposition be based on this experience of losing his keep and being ordered to chase a god? This might help you identify with your next creation. If you play a Warcaller as a paralysis master with charge after the paralyze phrase you may like it, def not auto attacking only. It blossoms early but then I tihnk it might get old after a while? Idk. Thematically you could do Bleak Walker/Corpse Eater for a violent savage type playthrough. You're still the hero you just hold lots of honour in combat and show that honour by eating the hearts of your fallen foes. I have been trying to make Druid Hybrids work lately, Nature Druid with 2h staff and possibly a monk mixed in, thematically it works, no idea if it would class wise. Another idea, Nazpaca (or whatever its called) + Corpse Eater works and is very original. Corpse eating heals you even when you aren't high on drugs which lessens the need to rest off your hang overs. Not surprisingly there's plenty of drugs to go around, so you become a crazily buffed angry drug addicted cannibal. I don't like barbaric blow costing so much on corpse eater early game though. Another problem is I find it hard to not take rogue for escape early game on my melee toons, love the mobility and thematically its hard to not want to play a finesse character, but I also like charge later, and fighter stances mid game, BUT Eder has all this covered and I cannot NOT play him the first playthrough. Other random thoughts on builds I haven't seen, I haven't been able to make a tanky street fighter (not used for stealth) work but I know its viable. This has stacking passives and not many actives so id mix it with something like a monk if I wanted pure melee, or a beguiler cipher for debuffing (once you got persistent distraction wouldn't these mix really well? hmmm) I may revisit Devoted + Stalker. The acc is insane, if you go battle axe and the ranger dot you could make someone bleed pretty heavily, and of course fighter stances are lovely. mid game the two mobility skills could be fun. Hmmm. Rogue + Monk = Ninja? Hmmm. I like to think about what passive skills I'd want in a Pen and Paper version of this campaign too and just say fu** min maxing. I go for insight (I'm a soul reading watcher who'se seen some **** afterall) often and like its results so far. Honestly maybe you need to think more thematically. Maybe I do too. Hmmm. Maybe I just need Boeroer to save me like he did in POE1. /end rambling Edit PS I don't have a lot to say about Paladins cause no cool mobility active makes me shy away from them, even though FOD and the auras+ passive tankiness is insane, I just am not attracted to their... flavour.

I imagine a trickster + evoker could be fun. Teleporting around being tank and nuking away. Any other suggestions? Is wizard the best nuker for this idea?

What stats and race do you suggest?

SEEMS like Carnage does not apply bleed from battleaxe. Though I am surprised to see it hitting the main target so its not a useless attack vs just one enemy.

Carnage, Mobs stance, charge, battle axe modal, will all this stack well together or is it just silly? Or worse, does any one of these negate the other?

Damn, ok shelved. Why is it so easy?

I haven't left tutorial island, well not true I left once for like 5 min in the water and then rerolled. Been playing with character builds too much to get anywhere. But if this game is THAT easy rn I might have to shelve it till it gets harder. I REALLY hope it's not Tyranny easy that shiz was broken and I got no replay out of it.

And do corpe eaters gain more flesh communions as they lvl up? Edit, yes you can heal yourself with Corpse Eating even if strung out. I have to think about this, seems hilarious....

If a Corpse Eating Nalpazca can still heal while in withdrawl phase from eating bodies this would be a hilarious "everything wrong" thematic build. Maybe Nature Godlike for the "**** man(and god)kind" theme.

Thanks, love me some Dark Sun. 1st online rpg experience was neverwinter nights on a DS custom server focused on RPPVP and I played there right after reading my 1st set of Fantasy Novels, the Dark Sun's 1st 5. Wish that universe was still going Rikus and Sorak are some of my fav characters. (Named my pug Ryka after him). Is this possible without going Trickster? And I guess I won't be jumping into the front line till mid lvl? Thanks again for the reply. Edit: The only thing that saddens me about this build is absolutely not fault of yours. Eder, I love him, but two of the same class is tough to swallow, I'll do it my 1st playthrough though for sure. PS giving M 14 D 15 P 19 C/I/R 10 Hearth Orlan a shot and I'll trust the build and try Trickster. Armor and offhand early game?

This;

Sent a PM asking about this as I'm super curious and have been rerolling since the game came out, my questions; Would you mind elaborating the build for me? Ie stat spread and ability choices in the early to mid levels? And possibly even weapon prof choices? I'm having a hard time piecing it together but this seems like the build for me. Is it front line right away or?

I think the biggest problem I have with Pillars1/2 is I don't enjoy squishy melee dps.

I was trying a devoted axe weilding stalker. It was fun, and I really like the acc buffs from ranger+ fighter. It meant I could stack dex and con (my fav stats) over perception or might. But the one hitch in my build is the Pet Charge ability wasn't much of a gap closer. I really wanted to do a one two punch of pet charge, to prone, fighter charge to mule kick. The fighter stances plus axe bleed was pretty dope too. And wounding shot is amazing on melee. Dunno if it stacks with axe modal bleed and cleave stance. just some random thoughts.

Same question I asked Koth with his pali/barb. Race, stat spread and what weapon? You all have me curious.

How did you stat spread and what race? And what weapon? PS I kind of wish you wouldn't turn solid gold when that buff is on though, get's rid of too much cool looking detail on your character.

any thoughts on how to stat spread a devoted/street fighter? Race/weapon choice? DW or single? think of it as a bruiser not a front liner.

I'm really loving how smooth stealth feels by comparison to POE1. Hoping I can feel much more like a badass ninja than a blundering fool.

Lol, ouch. Leave it to me to want the impossible in a game where everything is possible.

You like mobile melee (teleports), actives with cc and flashy moves, and your fav stats are something like Edit: Might 10 Con 8-10 Dex: Max Perc 15 Int 10 Resolve 15 may max resolve so I can be in the thick of things What would you build? Am I hurting myself by going avg might on a bruiser/dpser? I feel like since might isn't AS important and I'm only playing on Veteran I can get away with it.

Wondering, does the stalker bonus to AR/Deflect scale with power level/level? If not 1 AR/5 Deflect might be kinda meh.
