It doesn't. Plague of Insects and Venombloom are not keyworded as poison for the purpose of PL.

Nope...

@Boeroer Have you ever thought of "porting" this build to Deadfire ? I remember enjoying it so much in PoE !

It's strange. It happened again the other day during the fight against Sissak. Character wasn't charmed but had still the Ring of Reset equipped. As for now, the only thing noticeable is that it happens during FS.

I could not infer it from the combat log: it simply said "X is dead. X left the party" (I did not look accurately though). Besides, it happened only to a specific character (SC Barbarian, adventurer). In the same fight another character died normally. It may be related to the Ring of Reset, that was equipped by the character who died without injuries. After the second try the ring started to work properly, resurrecting my Barbarian without problems.

Bump. Permadeath without injuries happened to me 2 times in a row today during the frightened child fight in FS. No Grog equipped. Version 5.0.

Bump. Still bugged with patch 5.0

In that case, I could make a Streetfighter/Troubadour and summon the wisps with the distracting attack instead of building a Trickster/Troubadour...

Thank you all guys for the many inputs! The consensus seems to be that Shadowdancer is the best option. As for the Rogue, I'd say Trickster has also a nice synergy with The Hundred Visions upgrade of The Eye of Wael (even if, on the other hand, Form Phantasmic could someway fit a Streetfighter). Fact is that I played Trickster so many times already (one time as a Tank and one time multiclassed with Beguiler) that I'm afraid I'll be getting bored after a while. That's basically why I haven't even mentioned in the beginning the idea of multiclassing with a Rogue . But if leaving the Rogue out of the equation hampers the build, I'll build a Shadowdancer anyway. Does Riposte work with scepters or do you have to swap to fist before starting to run around? That sounds funny, but if you have to swap every time it can become tedious. Could the squishiness of Helwalker be mitigated enough by multiclassing with Devoted? Never tested it. But it shouldn't: modal are considered active abilities AFAIK.

Thank you all! Can't wait to install it

I'm planning my next run on PotD Upscaled and I'd love to play a ranged guy who dual wields scepters. As it was already pointed out, scepters have one of the best modal in game: + 2 PEN and + 20% Damage with no substantial drawbacks. But... how would you build a ranged character who dual wields scepters to maximize his DPS output? Has anyone tried such a character? I've seen the "Eccentric Scepter-trick Shadowdancer" build by Silvaren, but I'm not convinced about going Helwalker/Assassin (I've just played an Assassin and the assassinate bonus doesn't apply to the attack made with the off-hand weapon, so the ability seems kind of wasted). How about a Devoted/Helwalker? Would it be better to go Devoted/Ranger instead? Could a wizard+something multiclass build work with dual scepters? Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated.

The same happens in my game

Did this bug get fixed in 5.0? I have no time to play now and sadly I can't check it myself...

That's sad. Does it work with Frostfall at least?

If I still had any doubt about it, now I'm gonna do it.
