  1. My collector's edition came in today, and I'm really happy with the quality of everything. Really excited to place have all the stuff on display. My only concern is that I never seemed to get the painted minis despite being on the invoice along with the collector's edition box, the guidebook, and the t-shirts. Who would I have to contact about fixing this and getting the minis?
  2. I rebuilt my PoE1 Cipher, picked Ascendant because he was built around being mostly damage dealer with a bit of CC, but I never managed to hit the focus cap. I'd only gain about 3-5 focus per attack, and I believe that's because I was constantly under the Pen requirements, so I was doing 5-12 damage with a pistol on average, rather than the actual range of ~30-40. Just my own experience, but it's looking like my Cipher is pretty nonviable under the current circumstances. Unless I actually just suck at this game, that's also a possibility.
  3. I basically just recreated my Cipher from PoE 1, focusing on ranged damage via pistol and spells, with a side of charm/dominate CC. I miss around half my attacks, and when I'm able to I do ~7-10 damage, with a pistol. Not to mention I went Ascended for my subclass for that sweet, sweet extra damage. Turns out that Ascended can't compete at all, with the incredibly reduced damage due to Penetration, and the low damage when I do hit doesn't fill my focus enough for my Cipher to be at his full potential. To play devil's advocate to myself, I didn't take the Pen talents in the cipher tree, but I don't feel as though I should be required to take certain talents just to be useful. It defeats the "no bad builds" motto of the first game. Either I'm terrible with the new mechanics and I completely missed something, or Penetration needs some adjustments. I'm not entirely convinced 30% of damage will work for failing to meet the Pen cap. Maybe 50%, like how graze worked in the first game.
