Hello All,
I am currently playing through POE for the first time and committed to play on POTD. I felt like I had researched enough, but it has been a struggle to say the least. I am fighting my way through every encounter and prefer to cheese as little as possible. My party consists of entirely hired members from an Inn. I was able to defeat Raedric and the 1st Level of Endless Paths, but I am now stuck at an encounter with Druids who spiritshift and they all cast this lightning spell that wrecks me(I assumse it is relentless or returning storm, based on what I have read in the Thundercat build guide). I felt like I had a good balance of defense and offense in my party but am curious to hear thoughts from more experienced players on any changes I may/could make to optimize my team.
PC - Island Aumaua Cipher using warbow for DPS and CC spells
Fighter - Coastal Aumaua - S&S, Defender, Hold the line.
Pala - Meadow Human - S&S, Kind Wayfarer, Acc Buff + Crit% buff
Chanter - Pale Elf - S&S, End Drain, Phant Summon
Wizard - Wood Elf - Arbalalest, Mostly use chill fog and slicken. and Combusting Wounds w/Arcane assault. Leads team in Damage
Druid - Thundercat build.
My team seems to not kill enemies quickly enough, and my tanks eventually get overwhelmed/knocked out. Any advice/wisdom/insight/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
