[Let's talk about steadfast]

Maybe it works with stuff like Charge and Clear Out?

[I won't surrender!]

I always value lore and aesthetics more than sheer numbers. 2 or 3 more damage won't make me choose a cat over a wolf or vice-versa...

I like boar and cat, and I liked orlans. Orlans and boars, for me, don't match. I'd play cat but this kind of character is far from the "unique" concept that I stated about a hundred posts ago... So I'm still evaluating.. Another thing I regret is that a BG with mech AND survival does not exist..

Another viable possibility for me would be dwarf with boar. The boreal gains even higher ACC vs two of the most annoying critter type... Thinking about it...

If it helps, orlans have a reputation (which my come prtially from racism, but...) of being naturally sttubborn, something that can be associated with boars.

 

And Boreal dwarves are very powerful, so go either way.

[Tabletop RPG adaptation]

Maybe it would work better if instead of x attacks per turn there were action points, DEX gave more action points per turn and interrupts subtracted action points from the target's next turn action point pool.

[140 hours across 7 playthroughs, Im done. The game has bested me. White March ruined the experience.]

They totally should name an important and powerful character after you in PoE2, Boeroer. Maybe an Archmage.

[I need to modify a pic...someone can do it?]

I don't think it is necessary. i mean, it is so zoomed in you can imagine him holding a bow and havimg his quiver on a lower position, like slightly above his waist and turned sideways instead of along his back facing upwards (like how it is positioned in Dark Souls, for example)

[The undead killer]

Wait! Why not Berath?

[The undead killer]

Magran gives accuracy to Swords, not maces. Berath, however, favors maces, greatswords and is said to pay surprise visits to those who try to cheat death.

[Cipher: some questions]

Maybe you should open with a gun and switch to a pike? Bows are better for sustained damage.

[Cipher: some questions]

I'll try firearms then. Too much micro would take too much effort for me...

 

 

You could make a longbow or pike/staff using cipher of you want less micro.

[Best MC of the game (lore and/or abilities)]

It was said as the game was still under development, I think. I believe a Rogue's invisibility is a more direct demonstration of "soul power".

[Best MC of the game (lore and/or abilities)]

All casters can tank if built for it. It is just more natural to Chanters.

[The Wizard. How to be a ranged powerhouse without dying.]

So nothing will work on a wizard except implements? I realize that the proper wizard has to have a certain -how can I say..- attire, but isn't there a way to build let's say an archer with magic?

Hey, don't let the post above dissuade you from making your bow-mage. Although Ciphers with warbows/guns make much better supernatural marksmen.

[The Wizard. How to be a ranged powerhouse without dying.]

While a Cipher with a longbow fits the concept better than both, the idea is viable and looks more interesting than a wand-user IMO.

[Your origin... Where do Pillars players come from? (poll) [big update on 6 oct... Pls vote again(sry guys] ;)]]

Because there is a vast number of of very different countries in Europe

Tell me, have you ever lived in South America? And what about Central America, Mexico and Canada, which happen to be packed togheter?

[Your origin... Where do Pillars players come from? (poll) [big update on 6 oct... Pls vote again(sry guys] ;)]]

 

If one is from Russia, can he/she vote in either east Europe, West Asia and East Asia instead?

What "other" in north America if you leave out USA? Central America is included?

 

I know I'm stretching. Nvm

Nope then he votes Russia, for exactly that reason. Central America is included yes. USA is only separate because it has one of the strongest gaming cultures, otherwise it's pretty useless to makes sperations in the two americas

And yet it is useful to make separations for Europe? How is that supposed to make sense?

[Your origin... Where do Pillars players come from? (poll) [big update on 6 oct... Pls vote again(sry guys] ;)]]

Why are there so many Europes and only one South America?

[Best MC of the game (lore and/or abilities)]

It may not be a choice ypur character makes, but I think someone already linked to souls of others, living or dead, would be more ready to accept it, and maybe even more likely to develop the condition.

[Best MC of the game (lore and/or abilities)]

I also think the same applies for chanters... Somebody said on a thread before that chanters use Acient sole magic in their chants and invocations (according to the description), and thus make just as much sense to use as a main as ciphers. I do agree with that user. And to be honest, I prefer chanter over cipher... I feel like ciphers lack a certain touch of elegance

I think you may be talking about me . And I agree that Chanters fit a Watcher as much as ciphers, because their unique type of necromancy and tradition of remembering the past mean that a chanter would be the first to embrace the gift of being a Watcher.

 

Not only that, but both Watchers and Chanters are much closer to the original meaning of the term "Necromancer" than what you usually see on fantasy, being bridges between the living and the dead, the present and the past. It is only natural to have both in one character.

 

EDIT: not really my favorite class however. I don't love extreme micromanagement, but chanters take it too far in the other direction before late-game.

[Current wisdom concerning Melee Wizards?]

I would say that for a melee wizard who focuses on damage with conjured weapons DEX is slightly more important, even if so little it is more of a matter of tastes, as weapon accuracy is straighforward enough to buff to the point of few misses and critting is not a Wizard's main strenght, while attacking, casting and chaining buffs faster can be helpful (and even if buffs are all fast, sometimes you just need to empty your grimmorie at once to survive.

 

For a tank Wizard however, PER is the only way.

[A buffer druid with spear. What concept could I use?]

Yeah.. all good inputs.. they surely work game-wise...but are ordinary....banal...

I like something that stands out... That's why I wanted a different approach, but not knowing the druid class, it's my fault.

I'd close this thread and I'd open a new one, focused on a nature godlike paladin.

Ordinary? What is ordinary about them?

[A buffer druid with spear. What concept could I use?]

Druids can be great protectors. They are not great buffers, but when they have healing on par with priests and CC on par with Wizards that doesn't matter that much: weakening a foe is not so different from strenghtening an ally.

 

And your build will work best with hide armor anyway, since you only need to tank as long as your spells are charging, so you will still look like a druid. Spears are nice weapons too, even tough hatchets nay be better. BTW, have you considered swords? There is an early nice looking black sword that makes you sturdier, and if you choose the Knights of The Crucible faction at Act 2 one of your rewards is a shining sword that buffs the accuracy of allies targeting the same foe, fitting the idea of a leader, guardian and blesser.

[Ranged "buccaneer like" rogue...is it viable?]

If you give it a quality enchantment it loses its unique terribleness. I don't think the ingredients for Accurate 1 are hard to find, BTW.

[Ranged "buccaneer like" rogue...is it viable?]

The Escape skill does not break stealth and increases deflection, which makes it a good take if you wish to pick the Backstab talent or specialize in killing the enemy backline.

[Non-PotD Chanter.. need info on the exact role in party.]

Hey! Many Pale Elves remove their beards.

 

That is why they have ice and fire resistance, centuries of adaptation to cold winds and boiling wax.
