Don't troll man. Time travel in Avengers was the biggest writing mistake they could have ever, EVER made. The reason is because it invalidates all other movies. If you introduce time travel in a story the story itself needs to revolve around that aspect. You don't introduce time travel to fix a writing block. It's also dangerous because it can screw over everything you do if you don't understand what you're working with. Time travel in stories is not a simple thing. It splits into multiple time lines is what avengers states. So how on earth does Captain America turn up as an old man in their time line? According to the way time travel works in Avengers this is 100% impossible as his being there would have created a new time line. You see this is just a simple example and there are loads more where they F-ed up. Because introducing new entities in the past already creates new time lines. By being there they created as many new time lines as their appearances. But that's not even my major issue. The issue is that time travel that allows you to invalidate things that have been done before in the earlier stories. just because the Sorcerer Supreme doesn't agree with it doesn't mean you can't. They could have easily picked up Nat in the past and still have the Soul Stone. They could have brought back everyone from the past including quicksilver and be done with it. I mean Loki escaped with the tasseract as well and he's still alive as well. Another thing wrong with End Game is the whole way it was introduced. First they try Tony, but he doesn't want to do it. So they go to Banner who has no idea what he is doing, but messes with things and finds a way to make people immortal. Because he can wind back time of a persons body without messing their brain. That equals immortality, but no one seems to care. Then Tony just has a cup of coffee fiddles with a setting for about a day and discovers time travel. Whooptidoo. L.a.z.y. writing. without thinking of any consequence of what they were trying to do. All they needed to do was think of a way for the Avengers to beat Thanos, but they couldn't so... time travel deus ex machina. Boom. Lazy. Now all we need is for someone to be strong enough to wield the stones, go back in time and use the stones before Tony does and travel back. Bam Tony alive. Or you know, if you're keen on the single/multiple timeline mess in Avengers you could pick up Tony and bring him to the future. It just makes his death and everything that was built up towards it meaningless.

It only works if time travel is a pivotal part of the story. It doesn't work if it's a gimmick. Time travel as a gimmick usually ruins an entire storyline. Have you seen Avengers? The last movie made all others poinless because some lazy writer got drunk and had to write a script and only had a day left to do it.

There's a thread about this here: For my answer. Short: no more open world. Please no more. Back to Pillars 1 mode of story progression and exploration. Keep the combat system, lose the party members that are tied to factions. In fact, maybe no more factions either. Every frikking game has factions. Meaningless. Also, time travel is likely a terrible idea. It ruins most stories. Much like it ruined Avengers: End Game. It's a writers tool when he's out of ideas.

Man thanks for the explanation. It's not what I was hoping for. I'm a lazy person and this sounds like too much work for me to get the most of this class. Dang. I mean I'm the guy that keeps going back to building Devoted/Shattered Pillar with Lord Darynns Voulge to instawipe a whole room of baddies.

It's a Dragon. It's supposed to be difficult. Killing a Dragon at level 10 is rediculous although I'm sure it can be done with the right party as Dragons in POE are kind of weak. Scyorielaphas is level 14 so you'd need to be around that to be able to beat him. He's not like other encounters with lower stats. He's also weak to electricity and things that target his dex score. Pierce damage is good, other damage not so much because of his DR. His stats are far from impressive for a dragon so it's possibly doable at level 10 or maybe even lower to be honest.

Ok, you may have to activate the quest first. It's possible the item doesn't spawn without it, but I've never tried it. To meet Arkemyr you have to complete the quest "The Archmage's Vault" in Neketaka. It's activated by passing by his manor in Periki's Overlook and talking to the two arguing ladies there.

It's called: "Bekarna's research" and it's a quest item so it should be in the inventory area with the crown. Do you have the weapon "A Whale of a Wand"? You pick that up at the same time. If you don't have that one you may have missed picking up the research. Go back to the area and solve the puzzle to obtain the research. It's in one of the planets in the rooftop observatory. After solving the puzzle the planets align and one of them opens, revealing a stash which includes the research. Once you go back to Arkemyr, you will hand over the research, removing it from your inventory.

In all fairness I think it's near impossible for a well built Paladin to become bloodied in a fight. And if you do, then you're probably going to die. Any fight where I have a character going under 50% hp I there's some things to consider. How fast did it get to 50% hp? If it was fast than the character will likely go down. If it was slow ( meaning near end of fight) then how is streetfighter double bonus worth it? Plus you have "escape" from rogue if you really need to get away. Breaks engagement as well. Moving around in combat with a Paladin is weird due to Stoic steel. You want him/her to stand still and draw aggro as much as you can. Sure exalted endurance messes with streetfighter double bonus, but I rather keep my peeps alive.

I always use her default one because it gives her 2 spells per level. Like Boeoer said she cannot use Evocation and Illusion spells so she's going to be gimped by any grimoire that has those. Well unless it gives you a spell you really want. But then you could just select that yourself at level up. Sure you could spend all level up points on extra resilience and get more Will and such, but if you use her in a party there are other ways to protect her and you can get more spells to make her more effective. Also, fun note there's a way for Fassina to cast illusion spells. Somewhat. I always give her The Eye of Wael scepter which can cast random illusion spell affliction on enemy and bonus on yourself. Scrolls don't work, but this thing does.

Aldris Blade of Captain Crow is probably the best Sabre in the game in terms of damage output. Scordeo's Edge is ok and you don't have to side with the Principi I think to get it. In terms of damage output Grave calling is likely better than Scordeo's Edge and with dual wielding you're going to have very little recovery. 5% chance to ignore recovery is not a whole lot. You're better off dealing extra damage. I'm not a fan of Exalted Focus, but you can go with it if you don't need the healing. Exalted Endurance is very strong, but the armor bonus doesn't stack with Goldpact bonus I think. The main reason to get it is because of the great AoE healing. That plus AoE armor for everyone. That is better than +5 accuracy and a 5% chance to crit and deal 25% extra base damage imo. For reference that's a 5% chance to deal 3.5 extra damage.
