If they made this paid DLC, I'd get it. Just sayin'.

Wit of Death's Herald would be really useful for Berserker, if this can be figured out.

My boyfriend is just upset he's not a romance option. XD

So, in a solo playthrough, I might as well feed him to the blood pool for Effigy's Resentment...

Firebrand is not getting the +1 Penetration benefit from the Fury subclass, even though it has the Elements keyword.

Sadly, you're right. That's disappointing. It has the Elements keyword, so it should, but I guess that saves me the trouble of making the build. If I'm going to invest in such a build, I prefer the Priest spell list, so I guess this just makes it easier now that there's no +1 Penetration benefit to Furies for Firebrand. Shame. EDIT: Bug report submitted.

Thanks! At least it gets the +1 from Fury though. The Priest Weapons don't currently, right? Worst case scenario I pump Religion and run The Twin Eels, with the Devoted's bonus crit' damage as well as that from Killer's Gloves.

Do we know how PL effects Summoned Weapons? I was thinking about a Fury/Devoted using Firebrand, and at base you can count on the following Penetration: 7 Base 1 Fury 2 Devoted 1 Scion of Flame 11 Penetration isn't bad, but the weapon should scale to higher (supposedly). Just wanted to know by how much, and if it was worth investment.

Are there any other items that refund Empower points like Sasha's Singing Scimitar?

Swashbuckler Eder built around Engagement slots and Riposte could solidify your frontline, if you're having any issues on that front. Scout Maia built around dual-wielding guns and making use of cheap full-round attacks found by Ranger and Rogue would be excellent for single-target burst.

If you initially ditch Eder so you can do the starting island solo, is he available to be recruited later? If so, where?

Several companions have Animal Cruelty as a disposition. Is it ever relevant? (Looking to try and maximize negative relationship since we can't do the Pallegina/Maia Shrine thing.)

Alright, thanks! ^^

I'm trying to unlock achievements for Berath's Blessing for a second playthrough (not enjoying my MC in my current one), and wanted to know the easiest island to unlock the Making Your Mark achievement. Any recommendations?

Animancers Bow? Essence Interrupter. Got it.

I don't mind the help.

Guess I'll work on making it then.

EDIT: Decided to just make a list of gear that scales with skills. Let me know if I missed anything.

Yeah, not too fond of the switch from Mechanics to Perception in PoEt2. I understand the concept, but, when you take into account your starting companions, it really gimps parties where the MC doesn't use Perception as a main stat. It was irritating not being able to find the hidden stashes in Port Maje in the early game because of it.

... actually, yeah. My MC is one.

I'm having this problem, and it's to the point sometimes I can't even transition without multiple reloads. Is there a way to force the transition indicators to always be visible?

Thank you so much for the reply! Grieving Mother has the Firebrand items. I have done some things to improve my party's gear since. I need to learn about enchanting. I guess I'm just used to games where every slot empty is a wasted slot, and it's better to have something on than not. Should I be giving Eder cold damage since my party has so much fire presently? Other than the WM boots, what do I put on my Barb'? They're the one I'm the most at a loss to gear. Currently they seem to be good for hitting things and eating dirt. I mean, I know she's a dwarf, but I don't think dwarves work like Artemis Fowl in this setting. I did some wiki-reading, so I have a few more items now. Amulet of Summer Solstice and Lead Spitter on Pallegina, Sanguine Plate on Eder, Fulvano's Amulet on Kana, etc. I guess I could narrow it down to: what do I need to do on the MC barbarian (other than the Sandals of the Forgotten Friar), and should I be putting Durance in heavier armor or going light?

Got frustrated with patches always changing things when I was trying to learn to play, so I'm just now giving Pillars a proper go. That said, it's been getting more fun as I go. However, I'm running into the issue of not knowing how to gear my party. Currently I've got: Pallegina rocking Sun-Touched Mail, a pair of good pistols, and Lilith's Shawl. Eder rocking the Sword of Daenysis, March Steel Dagger, Fulvano's Gloves, Minor Cloak of Protection, Minor Ring of Deflection, Sanguine Plate, and The Pilgrim's Lasting Vigil. MC Barbarian (I regret this choice) rocking Cloak of Comfort, Ring of Overseeing, Minor Ring of Deflection, Fulvano's Boots, Rundl's Finery. (Using Novice's Suffering as weapon of choice.) Kana using Fine Plate, Gaun's Pledge, Gaun's Share, Ilfan Byrngar's Solace, Amulet of Health, Kana's Turban and the figurines I've acquired. Grieving Mother using Forgemaster's Gloves, Belt of the Royal Deadfire Cannoneer, Amulet of Health, Footpad's Hood, Jack of Wide Waters, and Drake's Bell as a back-up. - and Durance with Aru-Brekr, Nidhen's Finger, and Gyrd Haewanes Stenes. (I have no idea what to do with him.) I know I want Pallegina to get The Flames of Fair Rhîan, but beyond that... I recognize a lot of these guys are severely lacking in gear, and it's holding them back. I'd really appreciate any suggestions as to what I should put on them all.

If you don't use it, it should have no bearing on you. It shouldn't cheapen your experience. You still get to experience decisions with lasting consequences. The existence of companion stat respec' should not effect you. It only affects those who want it, or those who lack the will not to use it. The former camp it makes happy. The latter lack the self-discipline to be happy in the first place.

I don't know. I like the Cipher cross-class talent for Chanters. It isn't like they have much better to take. How are the new companions?
