  2. Shame this doesn't actually work on either of these dragons, if you don't spawn them with console, I guess you could make it work on the Guardian if you kill all but one add, but BoW dragon doesn't even have adds and jump skills only hit once if there isn't at least one additional jump target.

    New belt allow you to spawn fire elemental with melee attack or new bow that can spawn hostile monsters on kill, spawn your copies/any monster from figuries and make crit with bow and then help dragon to kill it xD . You can kill Ukaizo after second transition, when you attacked by 2 colossus

    Huh, I will post my Priest/Monk build today or maybe few days letter, after Lion spirit nerf there no point to use Barbarian :D Monk's much more stable with their +15 int bonus and can apply Flank status and reduce bosses armor

     

    After my  Harbinger of Doom build, updated monk build feel like Breath of fresh air, easy early game, a lot of int bonuses, reduced debuff duration's

    It's a +10 INT bonus. Clarity of Mind and Duality of Mortal Presence do not stack.

     

    Yeah, you right, but sometimes I just forget about confusion, especially on early game stage :D

  4. Hi, sorry I ended with you challenge after trying to kill BoW dragon ;D Obsidian working hard to make game difficult for solo players

    I tried Druids but even with Gear they suck :( Try (Berserker or Monk or Paladin)/Shifter - Devoted is very slow and don't have enough Action Speed to clear most of the fights

     

  5. Huh, I will post my Priest/Monk build today or maybe few days letter, after Lion spirit nerf there no point to use Barbarian :D Monk's much more stable with their +15 int bonus and can apply Flank status and reduce bosses armor

  6. With pistols that's 15 PEN (+abilities). You can also use Eccea's Blaster for raw damage.

     

    And with dual mortar aoe fire + Driving Flight you might not impress the dragon, but you can do short work of adds, like the magma oozes, at the same time DoT-ing the boss.

     

    I haven't really experienced trouble keeping a Scout alive, barring the first few boarding fights and concentrated firepower. He has excellent mobility. And a Streetfighter kinda likes to be blooded. Yeah, against a boss doing point blank aoe, like the Magma Dragon, the companion might have trouble staying in melee. In most regular combats that's not an issue if you're reasonably careful and don't try to use him as a tank.

    Yeah, you can change on pistols, but you will loose +1 sharpshooter pen (or you will need to stay near boss) which required a lot of micro management to save your and your pet bodies, because of that you will loose 20 accuracy from ranger class.

     

    +You can't get +15 accuracy (without penetration lost and blunderbuss modal lost) 

    +35% DW nerf mean that you will do same damage as 2H weapon hit 

    In summary if you like comfort and  lazy gameplay with good DPS Bow is your choice ;D

  7. So when you face a high reflex enemy, you simply use Xefa's + Kitchen Stove or Thundercrack + Scordeo's.

    The build is also proficient (and deadly) with those weapons.

     

    And funny to hear about trouble with Penetration from someone who just recommended a Hunting Bow Devoted.

    Hunting Bows only get to 10 Penetration, same as blunderbuss (and less then pistols). Devoted gets +2, but a Sharpshooter also gets +1 vs near targets. Marksman Ring +1 Pen.

    Can eat the same foods for +2. Can have the Priest cast Champion's Boon for another +2.

     

    Plus Crippling strike +2 PEN,  and Strike the Bell +5 PEN. Of course ability spam is difficult to sustain in a boss fight, like Magma Dragon.

    > You simply use Xefa's + Kitchen Stove or Thundercrack + Scordeo's.

     

    Do you understand that your setup has -10 acc from blunderbuss, -5  acc from distracted and can't use aware, which usually mean that you can't get all street-fighter and devoted crit bonuses with such low acc ? 

     

    > Hunting Bows only get to 10 Penetration

     

    But Essence Interrupter has 2 damage type

     

    > Hunting Bows only get to 10 Penetration, same as blunderbuss (and less then pistols). Devoted gets +2, but a Sharpshooter also gets +1 vs near targets. Marksman Ring +1 Pen.

     

    Ranger/Streetfighter -> +2 pen from Potion or Food or Champion boon and +1 from ring, +1 possible from Sharpshooter, so you will have 14 maximum, but Sharpshooter can't abuse his pet for Stalker Link bonus because pet usually die immediately, so you will usually get only +10 acc (vs marked enemies), because with such short range enemies will aggro on you very often and you will get go under hurt status very fast 

     

    > Plus Crippling strike +2 PEN,  and Strike the Bell +5 PEN. Of course ability spam is difficult to sustain in a boss fight, like Magma Dragon.

     

    Yeah but both Ukaizo and BoW dragon have 17 AR vs Pierce / Slash, with latest DW full attack nerf and -25% damage from armor you will do ~-100% damage

     

     

     

     

  8. Fur rogue utility IMO dual weapons are hard to beat. Dual pistols or blunderbuss Full Attack: Apply affliction with first shot, profit from it on second (and third and fourth with Driving Flight) to get: up to +60% Sneak, +50% Streetfighter bonus, eventually +50% Deathblows. Also if you fail to apply it on the first bullet, perhaps the second will do the trick.

    Apply affliction/DoT to all enemies in sight in a single shot / ability use (+profit) vs waste rogue resources to have 1 chance to apply it to a single enemy.

    Rogue/Ranger has maximum 13 PEN and you can't pen even magma dragon armor, even with Flanked status

    For example Ukaizo has 130 reflexes and only 77 deflection and 50% crit -> hit conversion, don't get me wrong but blunderbuss build good only against group of low-level enemies 

  9. In summary Swashbuckler  - Devoted (Hunter Bows)/Assasin
    Fighter stance and bow passive will negate modal accuracy lost
    Disciplined Strikes + Confident Aim + Dirty Fighting + will rise your DPS even more ~70% graze to hit and 35% crit -> hit 
    And Essence Interrupter give you 2 damage types and free summon
    Don't forget to eat food that give you +2 pen 
    Max alchemy and use Assassin accuracy + Fighter Stance to land poison effect on bosses from invise

  10. Let's me introduce Marux Amanth 

    Do you know that this dagger has ability that immediately kill any target in near death state without Fortitude/Will check, with DW weapon you has even 2 chances  :D

    I sure this ability will be very popular against Mega Bosses xD (until next Obsidian Nerf)

    But not only that, if you kill someone with this ability you can restore spell-caster resources, for example you can cast Storm Of Holy Fire, kill someone and then recast it again

    This dagger has one more unique enchant, it has 10% chance to recast Priest spell, so sometimes priest can land 2x  Magran Symbol at once

    I found it very usefully with Storm Of Holy Fire, you can abuse save-load to proc dagger on fight start 

  11. 1. From Food you need Mohora Wraps, this is only single food which bonus stacked with Barbarian Frenzy
    2. To negate confused from frenzy and use heavy armor you need Svef drug. it is very cheap, give resistance to all non martial afflictions and give constantly +3 to perception
    3. To negate high debuff duration with dumped resolve (I don't suggest to dump resolve) you need debuff duration reduction  bonuses for example prostitute buff from Dunnage (-20%), lonely wolf ring (-30%) and (-30%) from Mohora Wraps 
    4. + You need at least 140 deflection to stop enemies for overpen your armor with crits, that why you can't dump resolve, resolve should maxed and DEX and MIGHT can be lowered
    5. + A lot of enemies has constitution afflictions, without Rekvu gloves you will die very fast even with Unbending
     

  12. I tested this approach and end only with few viable options for (Warden):

    1. Maelstrom scroll caster, this scroll has a lot of keywords and Druid with all his passive +1 pen can abuse such cool synergize

    1.1 It can cast other scrolls for example with fire keyword, but Maelstrom is really good one :D
    2. Land poisons, with Will-breaker and His modal and Fighter stance and Venombloom and 20 alchemy result (120 acc to poisons) and (-35 to enemies Forititude)
    3. Support other party members with healing 
    4. Land skills that block boss concentration regeneration
     

  13. If you oriented on solo game-play:

    1. Max perception (18 min)
    2. Don't forget to check no-rest run topic, you need +50% to healing and +10 to ACC bonuses, -20% for debuff duration, otherwise with latest Lion's Sprint  fixes you will lack of accuracy + eat food that give you +20% recovery speed and reduce debuff duration by 30%

    3. Pick L1 Unarmed Monastic skill to fight  enemies with low crush AR (don't use Willbreaker

    4. If you pick heavy armor (which sound logical), then you will need to use (Svef) constantly 
    5. For Ring I suggest Chameleon's Touch - 35%

    6. For Belt - Girdle of Eoten Constitution  

    7. For Gloves - Rekvu's Stained Grasps

    8. For Cloak - new cloak that give +7 to all defenses
    9. For neck - Charm of Bones is much better
    10. For pet - Navi or Abraham (I forget which of that 2 pets stack with Armor Grace)
    11. For armor Patinated Plate for group fights and Blackened Plate Armor for bosses fights
    12. I prefer Conqurerer Stance 
    13. For L20 pick Bear's Fortitude
    14. For L10 pcik Blood Frenzy (WotEP can apply AOE, I don't like Stagger because normal mobs can't overpen your armor and bosses is immune)
    15. You also need Unstoppable, there no good item with this resistance

  14.  

     

    Yeah i see. I m really curious, which build now can beat the dragon without much of a problem on potd upscaled solo.

     

     

    Near any Paladin/x combination, 18AR and 10HP per 3sec + 5 from Ring of great regeneration make you near invincible

     

    I  also don't have problem with my Ranger/Cipher build (with Red Hand)

     

    Hmm, there are not any youtube videos that show a paladin multiclass to do it or? And which skills do you mean for 18 AR / 10 HP 3 sec? I rarely played paladin.

     

    Goldpact/Troubadour   - Summons / Healing  

    Goldpact/Devoted        - DW sabers for example Scordeo's Edge + Beza's Toothed Blade , Fighter + Paladin can hit 152 deflection (dragon accuracy) without big problems

    Goldpack/Streetfighter 

     

    I don't test other setups

     

    I  also don't have problem with my Ranger/Cipher build (with Red Hand)

     

    I forget to enable up-scaling. I can't kill him with Ranger/Cipher, Dragon always target my MC and I can't change his aggro to my summon :(  (unlike Ukaizo). If someone know how to change Dragon aggro please point me 

     

    I also tested Ghost Heart / Monk with 140 accuracy and god mode enabled, but I can't even drop his HP under 75%, (That why I hate current penetration system + Dragon scale talent with 50% hit -> crit conversion)

     

    The funny fact Dragon has very high HP regeneration when his health < 75%
