Dr <3

Finally we have seen your photo!!!!

Two weapons talent is very strong if the majority of your attacks are auto-attacks. But in this build, after some lvls virtually all your attacks will be only torment reach spam ( which is a full attack), and i'm quite sure that two weapons talent do Little for that.

When you will have 600+ life and 100+ accuracy (and lvl 16) dragons will become doable, have Faith. Edit: more then figurines, corners in the map are your friends. Try to let at max 2-3 mobs attack you. And consider this is one of the sturdier build possible, solo potd is much more difficult than team potd, need different tactics.

In poe2 we will discovered that the steward of card nua is eothas under disguise

This may very well be a bug, but I imagine that in reality, quaffing a potion in the midst of combat would not be easy, nor should it be. Ideally this would be an action that is subject to interruption, although I'm not sure if this is how game mechanics actually work.In reality you can't put people on fire just singing, nor transform in a badass boar or cast fireballs. Or in a Place where the local reality permits to do such things drink a potion in the middle of the fight should not be such strage. This is a game and have to be fun, and the mechanichs have to work well. For example i like a lot how potion works in tyranny: istant effect + cooldown for prevent abuse/spamming. Much better then Poe where do you have a fair long animation ( bugged and easily interrupted), so you can't rely at all in potion effect.

And is also by far the strongest One... At High lvls It just means : +6 deflecion, +30 reflex

Good luck for your run! Barb have larger health pool, but poorer retail effects imho ( and no iron wheel/turning wheel). Let me know how is going!

Probably you can even manage to do it, but i wouldn't choose this build to try that achivement. Mind you, not because is weak, but mainly because: 1) you will often run low in Life, a couple of critical strike or stun at the wrong moment can ruin your day ( and since the main strategy here is just run in the middle of the mobs you can't even easly escape) 2) in some battles you will had to rely on potions. Potion animation Atm is *very* bugged, lose your run because you fail to drink an healing potion 3 time in a row ( happened to me in a couple of battles) is very depressing Tl;dr: a good and fun build for solo, not raccomanded for trial of iron

Forgot, heh. Can't for the story characters though. I want to retrain Caroc however, since one rogue (my char) already uses a spear/pike type weapon. You can even for story char, exept lvl 1

I tried once a "Wolverine" Chanter: vet recovery, beloved spirits, High survival for +40/60% healing boost, mahea armor or fulvano amulet, kindness chant, High const & str & Dex . Dual wielder ( punch --> novice suffering or other weapons--> dual bittercut). Invocation: Champion for +40 attack speed and dr, on occasion others. It was quite fun, but had 2 problems ( was a solo potd run): 1) without the deflecion from the shield in late game even with your wonderful regen you can't tank for long ( and chanter suffer also from a low endurance for health multiplier, so in any case you will not tank for long, unless you have very High deflecion) 2) It lacked the whole aoe DMG you "need" for a solo run ( not actually need but makes things a lot faster). I even tried to squeeze some winds of death between the kindness phrase for a bit of DMG and to quicken the reach of 5 phrase for the Seven nights invocation. A bit better but nothing special. 3) hack and slash enemies instead of burn them all down in 1/10 of the time let you a bad taste

And with her own quest you can even get +2 dex permanently!

Totally agree. I also use them often to replenish the health between fights during a long quest so i don't lose the resting bonus ( i usual stack caed nua +3 const and the +40% healing).

Ha ha, Yes, When you solo you can indulge a bit more with the food... Is very cheap, and since you have only a char to use is also quite fast to give him the food... I always keep in the inventory chicken, beef ( or the farmers cream), the agi cake and the beer... Later in the game also the +2 int fish and the +3 dr drink they have in stalwart... ( With this build +1 const means more or less +15 hp, so the chicken alone gives you +30...). Just no reason for NOT do so. Have fun!

And i have to say that imho this build is quite strong from the start ( at least from lvl 4). Monks torment reach + High hp + retaliation if things go bad is a very strong combo from early on to the end of the game.

Glad you liked my build :3 I was completely serious about that and is 100% doable ( maybe not 100% of the times but for sure the majority). You need torment reach, vet recovery, turning wheel and vulnerable attack. If you manage to reach lvl 5 via other quest is even better ( bonus hp and accuracy) but is not necessary. As item you need a plate ( kill the Moon godlike near the entrance of eothas Temple), rymgrand mantle, whisper of yenwood in one hand and a mace or fist in the other. A potion of vital essence can be useful sometimes but not mandatory. Last thing needed is 4 in survival, and rest in the countryard for +10 accuracy vs Spirit, After that you can walk proudly in the main hall, and eat some chicken(+2 con), beef (+2 str), a beer (+2 dr) and a cake (+2 agi). Ok preparations done! Now the tactics is : walk to the shadows, as they start charging against you, retreat asap in the left corner of the small corridor in the left of the main entrance. In this position only 1-2 shadows/Spectre can hit you at the same time. Now you just need to wait. Rymgrand mantle usually will keep your endurance bar full, but your health will slowly drop. When finally healt reach a low level, than your endurance will start sink too. When this happen the retaliation from the flame godlike racial starts to work, and will kill the enemies for you. Sometimes, if they crit you too much the endurance will drop lower than the 50% trashold and flame retaliation will activate also with High healt. If possible try to NOT get hit by both Spectres togheter ( stun + sneack attack do heavy dmg and permastun in this case is difficult to break, while 1 Spectre + 1 shadow let you drink a potion if needed or land some torments reach) this can be done kiting a bit at the start of the fight so the monsters are "channeled" in the corridor in the right order. Ok , these are all my "extra" triks, please report if It worked for you! Edit: tks Boeroer for pointing my mistake!

I like too the Obsidian bastard sword idea. For propaganda: actually exist surgical knives made of obsidian due their exceptional sharpness ( they can even cut a Cell in half). +1 from the medical department https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-more-surgeons-use-obsidian-scalpels

I will go all Chanter , after you set dragon trashed for everyone i think you don't even need to click on enemy for autoattack nor waste your precious clicks to set ai on "aggressive". Just walk against mobs and wait. This is the final lazyness.

Yes in my experience the only solo run i liked was a solo pacifist rogue, all about evade fights and go straight for thaos. But every time i try to play him solo like a "warrior" (actually fight enemies) i feel that most of other class could do the job better. He lacks aoe DMG ( wiz, druid, priest, Chanter are way better) unless you don't try to mass abuse scroll; his cc are poor or comes late ( casters, monk, fighter, chiper do way better); low health - ok endurance; low tanking abilities. He just have good single target DMG, but monk, fighter, druid, chiper can do comparable or better dmg and comes all with other very strong perks. Tl;dr: random rant against rogue

Probably a fighter could be a better candidate for this build. The dmg will be a bit lower( but not so much), but the "staying alive" Power will be in a total different level. You even spare a talent ( vet recovery) and could possibile skip the godlike race for something like a boreal dwarf.

I'm doing some solo with this build, comparing to other char i played recently the health pool indeed sink fast. And i wear a plate Atm. x4 endurance = health is really a misarable multiplier, with all your healing spell in a single fight it can happen to actually heal yourself without problems, but dying anyway due the low health

And some combo are still around nontheless.

I bet that gaze of the adragan is an aoe effect instead than a target specific effect, but i never tested it. Can be a good Plan if It works.

Atm Backstab bonus dmg is guaranted for 1 or 2 strikes coming out of invisibiity? If It works for two strikes, that means you can also double backstab with tidefall?

Max your fortitude ( High con + High str + food bonus). Lvl up and come back later. Skip the encounter ( not a single adragan is mandatory ad i remember). Use some summon for distraction. Drink the yellow potion. Use the monk ability that halves the enemies buff duration. Permadisable them ( force of anguish, stunning strike, ecc). Confusion scroll. Paralyze scroll. Defence scroll. Be very lucky. All of them work, some options may stack. :D
