Phenomenum

All seems too overpowered. It's funny. First, devs nerfed sabres and Unlabored Blade, "becose it's too OP", second - brings the whole pack of cheat-items. Can't see any logic behind this... I'ts time to call Josh

Just thoughts... I have done some tests on Hard and PotD difficulties, relating time i spent in exploring and combat. Test slice: 1-st act until Defiance Bay (killed all enemies on every one map encluding 1-st level of Od Nua, Raedrick keep and so on). Hard: Time in combat - 8.5 hours (ingame statistics) PotD: Time in combat - 10.9 hours (ingame statistics) Nearly +30% combat time on PotD (for me, anyway) compared to Hard. And this is significant shift from exploring to combat action.

Don't dive this guy drugs anymore

Ok, Aloth. Armor and items: Simple clothes, after WM1 one of Durganized robes (or maybe not) - it's up to you. Main goal: minimize recovery time. Becose with no recovery penalty from armor + DAoM spell you can cast without recovery at all. + 2 Wizard rings, which gave +N to spells limit About spells - you can collect nearly all spells from grimuars of defeated enemy wizards. Nothing special in this section. CC - becose Aloth have 12 Might, but mid Per and high Int. Weapon: Gyrd Haewanes Stenes As for abilities, nothing special again: 1. Blast 2. Arcane Vail 3. Penetration Blast 4. Hardened vail 5. Dangerous implements 6. Apprentice sneak attack + any other for you favor Questions?

Oh, i have a fresh joke special for you: - how to revive russian game industry? - return Poland into Russia borders.

Maybe you're right, maybe not... last decades (especially since 2000) English as well as Slavic and Romanic languages generating many new words every year. Another thing - adoption termins and words from one language to another.

That's wonder me in english language- one word may describe a dosen senses and things, when russian language have exact word for every case.

"t's a bit harder than with custom characters" - it's a bit easier, becose story companions have same level with you. PC rogue/druid, wearing simple clothes until Durgan steel - becose any armor is greatly reduce offensive potential Weapon: Rogue - fast (stillettos, rapiers) or sabres and maces for high-DR enemies. Druid - weapon no matter, bur i prefer Guird HS, becose of +3 RES Eder as DW DPS in Sanguine Plate, becose of Armored Grace ability - he is fine Weapon - dual hammers Hiravias - simple cloth, weapon no matter Pallegina - DW PDS with swords/maces or Twohanded with Greysleeper/Abydons hammer Armor - Hiravian rath breastpale, later - soulbound armor +3 INT (always forget it's name) Aloth - CC, simple cloth. Weapons don't matter. Durance - simple cloth (+2 Might), +2 DEX gloves or something + Aggradazing radiance to compensate low DEX + food = 15 DEX. (Viettro boots +4 DEX later). Weapons don't matter. Zacua - tundra cloth. Weapon - fists/sabre/spear Maneha - Default armor, axes\hummers. Kana - Hand & Key armor, two-handed weapons\ Abydons hammer Sagani - simple cloth. Massuk bow/Forgivennes pistol/Persistence Devil - Durganised armor, fast weapons (Spelltongue rapier especially) Mother - simple clothes, Stormcaller + bonus DR items and abilyties. Pistols (Dulcanale esp) as backup weapon for electric immune enemies. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ No need to wait for recovery time at all, quick attack to blow the enemies to hell + fun, becose low DR's and defences meaning high risk.

Wow! Just...wow. The whole world is village. Ok, Cut = Рана (in russian) - it's fresh wound, when "you" just did it, or got it. Scar, In russian, it's healed wound, cut...whatever.

Ok, thanks a lot. Well... cuts - it's fresh wounds, when scars it's old ones. I think i got it) There are similar words in russian we have to describe this things. Similar in meaning, not writhing of course

How you fight melee with RES 3? Attack only disabled enemies? I don't imagine how it might work I've being often interrupted with RES 10 in melee with one single enemy, if he is not disabled with CC spells or something.

Scars - yes, but i don't understand what you mean saying "cuts"... My english is very mediocre as you already should figured out Sooo... i don't fully understand you this time.

Emmm... what did you mean?

Oh, i get it. That's becose of crasy stacking rules. Another one - Fighter's ability Disciplined Barrage is stack with Priest's Blessing spell (+5 acc, +10% damage), but Rogue's Reckless Assault modal supressing accuracy bonus from this spell.

"I read somewhere enchantment is Deadfire is... meh. We can no longer enchant the way we want it. For example if it's Fire damage then it become Chain Fire or something. Anyone has any insights on it?" - i'm sure enchantment system in Deadfire will be good, don't worry. Becose ench. system in PoE obviously was implemented at the last moment - just to keep promise to bakers.

Feel free to check it yourself, but i doubt that i'm miss something - tooltip says it supressed... Maybe tooltip is wrong? Then only Max can dig it up

Original:

Just found picture in google + a little photoshop from me. Unfortunately, i don't know who is the autor of this art.

I also thought so, but no. At least tooltip says it supressed v. 3.06 "But since reload speed bonuses are multiplicative" - ouch, don't know this trick. Ok, 100 * 0.5 (Swift Aim) * 0.8 (Gunner) = 40 (or +60% reload speed) - anyway, this was a really good setup, considering all active abilities or spells/potions stack with this "base" +60%/+60%

Only Ranger's Swift Aim reload speed bonus supress it and don't stack. I remember, one time i've made a "machine gun" Sagani trough stacking Swift Aim, Gunner talent, Sure Handed Ila & Forgiveness pistol: +60% ranged attack speed & +70% reload speed even without Frenzy or DAoM

Human Elf version Elf (no scars) Human (no scars)

How about 15/6/16/16/15/10? Dont't want dump RES, becose when you cast something in a middle of a fight, interrupts will break your spells. About CON: if rogue got surrounded by enemies he is dead - no matter con 6 or 10, becose of low Deflection every incoming hit is a Crit (literally) on PotD. Besides of that, normal DW rogue with fast weapons + spells. And don't forget scrolls - fire damaging ones (need Lore 4 at least). Maybe it's worth to take those fire talent +25%, especially when using Firebrand for backstubs (from gloves of course).

Sounds more like an Arcane Trickster from D'nD. Interesting... Especially Munacra Arret + Ring of Changing Heart + Enigma's Charm. Never think about this things all toghether. What about stats? INT especially?

Elf druid Cold-blooded mercenary

Forget about tanks. Get one DD like fighter or pal or chanter, second one clear DD like rogue, monk or barbarian. + CC wizard + Priest + damage caster (Druid or Cipher). And you'll be fine
