It would be cool if it just stole an existing buff from the enemy. Like Unbending :D

Use thunderous report from stealth. Honestly I wouldn't spare the point for backstab too many better options

haha good stuff

Or, everytime you rest you loose 2k experience and eventually lvl backwards! Fixes resting AND the inflation of exp :D I'm a genius!! Gonna leave this forum section now quickly and go back to the character build and strat section cuz I've seen this guy Jerekkruger checking me out quite passionately and I know he hangs around here! *vanishes with shadowing beyond*

Yeah I'm pretty sure there is such a weapon, it isnt the soulbound dagger is it? Yeah traps are annoying to use when u have high reflex. Normally I just go and fail a scripted interaction when I need a wound The Lagufeth ambush before Amiras Roost gives u an acute rash for example. Also inside Sandswept Ruins there's a room with some sort of sigil wich inflicts injury instead of curse I think, if you destroy all but one u can have infinite injuries there. But those are more punishing then a rash

No, ur weapons and ur chest armor does nothing for ur shifted form

Yes I tried both versions before posting it, will o wisps took too long to kill compared to the lill skellies

Personally I prefer to use Ghostheart with Boar pet. The boar has the biggest HP pool of the pets. The bears extra little bit of armour isn't enough to prevent Pen anyway.

Yeah fair enough I suppose :D

Persistant distraction discussion in a "ranged dps thread" don't make any sense tho.

Oh really? That is great info ty!

Consider that fat kitchen stove AoE Thunderous report from stealth with the Assassin bonus. Trickster is a strong class but when u are going ranged with a very strong opener such as Thunderous Report I'd honestly go assassin instead. But both will ofc work great. Trickster add more survivability while assassin boosts ur Thunderous report opener by a lot. So consider what u want with this character and then decide. I'd keep mindblades if you go Ascendant, it's a great spell when u have two to three targets.

Yeah its also annoying sorting out wich ones are RNG and wich are not

Well 3 abilities per class is around the same ud use as a martial class in PoE2. Just because u have an option to use others don't mean u will because of efficiency vs resources

Lmao. Working as intended!

Two years of balancing POE1 resulted in a game where you could pick any number of Paladins and Chanters and kill everything with passive aura damage. But at least that one ranged weapon in WM2 was nerfed because it was too strong. LOL Yeah and to fix that in the second game have a look at what they did to self immolation for the paladin Instead of self immmolation killing enemies like POE1 you actually kill yourself now faster then the enemies can kill you . 43 raw damage every 3 seconds And lets not forget whispers of the endless paths. "I know lets just make the sword completely frickin useless by nerfing the base damage into irrelevance" (Obsidian) ohh and the best one would have to be unlabored blade from POE1 . " I know, because the barbarian can use the weapon really well with frenzy lets just completely nerf the blade to complete and utter uselessness with a 3% proc rate so know one can use it anymore" (Obsidian) NOW THATS CALLED BALANCING EVERYBODY! FWIW WOTEP is quite far from useless.

Jesus Christ. The petulance in these forums sometimes. Why are you here? I've been wondering the same thing...

Toxic strike starts out weak the first tic and then grows stronger for every tic so the longer the duration the stronger the dmg. A high intelligence score is the biggest booster for this ability. Multi with a monk and u can get an absurd amount of intelligence to boost this skill and it does get very potent. As for consumable poison alchemy is the only way to boost it now and it is quite underwhelming imho. Check out the Stalkers Patience and Rusts Poinguard for more sexy dmg over time.

Does AS work differently in Deadfire? Wiki only has the PoE 1 version on it. I thought it works the same - every time they strike you, you trigger the spell. But I'm guessing it's different here. Yeah it procs every time they strike u or whenever u strike them. So for every hit with Frostseeker AS will proc. It also procs on the AoE generated by frostseeker crits resulting in massive amount of procs when u use frostseeker with driving flight and twin shot on tightly packed mobs. Even Eotens explode almost instantly

How does that Frostseeker build work? You put AS on your summon, then hit it 6 times with the aoe proc and you get 6x AS hits + the aoe procs from the bow? I put AS on myself but only on bigger fights. The trick is to pack mobs tightly together with pull of eora then root them in place with thorny roots, then find the target with lowest deflection - send ur pet on him and mark him then destroy them with Frostseeker and twin shots. This generates an insane amount of small Frostseeker AoEs because of twin shots and driving flight. This is also why AS scrolls are so extremely effective on this build.

If you want to play with Frostseeker i use it very effectively in this build: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/103542-single-class-build-arcana-archer-ranger/ I also have a Handmortar build for spreading rogue and monk affliction in AoEs here: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/102507-class-build-the-howitzer/ (If you play in party u can use X2 aoe blunders)

Interesting, I wonder if this is a random drop or if I have simply missed it all this time. I will check it out during the day and if I can confirm I will update the OP. Thank you I did not get any Emeralds from Leofwyn. Yeah i didnt see u get em either, however i just found another Emerald in the fleet master's office in sayuka. lvl 7 locked chest =) It would seem that there's a fair bit of RNG then, as I just checked the main post and someone got an adra ban from the Ori o Koiki treasure room, whereas I got 2 sapphires... Maybe some lootables contain random top tier components? One of my games has about 12 more emeralds than another at about the same progress through the game. The other save has about 15 more pyrite though lol. No idea where I got all the emeralds, the pyrite I assume I just got lucky with stores. Also just got an adra ban (and a black bearl, but meh) in the collapsed coal mine; nameable island west of poko kohara. Hidden in the mining cart by the east wall. Edit: Maybe higher tier random components drop at higher party levels? Most of the finds I've posted in here have been at lvl16+, also with full upscaling on. Yeah some locations are for sure random while others contain the same every time, i will try my best to find out what is random and what is not and put (Random) on em in the OP
