I guess the real question is, is there anything that is not on the builds thread that I should try

I like the stormcaller Ranger a lot. I've tried about 80 percent of the builds on the list. I'll definitely use the stormcaller but is there another Ranger build? Just curious.

I'm returning to the game and I'm looking for a little fun with a certain setup for POTD. I'm going to run a Paladin, priest, wizard, Ranger, fighter, druid. How can I have a priest that is great at melee and get high dps from spells? I've always had a backline priest and they always end up getting out dps'd by other classes. What is a build for Ranger that can shred through potd? I would prefer a bow but I'll consider other suggestions. I like the lady of pain(non range variant) for my fighter but could there be a better build? I'm looking for a high crowd control/high dps build for wizard. I love the tanky boar Druid build, but what are some other suggestions that could fill this kind of party nicely Difficult to decide what kind of Paladin build I want to have. The counselor ploi build is cool, but it's just a few aspects that doesn't suit my play style.

What is the build list for the v5 cipher?

@heldred So what did you do with your wizard on trash fights? I hate wasting spells but having him auto attack is just blahh

Enjoyable overall. For me, the use of shields made most encounters less of an emergency and easier to manage. Combined with the casters' CC and debuffs, as well as the passive/active healing, most battles were fun with a full team. When I had only 2-3 party members, I would need to rest a bit more, but nothing excessive. I just suck. My MC(druid) died 22 times at lvl 6 while everyone else is around 5 or 10.

He's not. With a large shield, barbaric yell and thick armor he's not too squishy at the beginning, even with 3 CON. I would also take Veteran's Recovery as the first talent. It's better than Constant Recovery (without Rapid Rec.) and adds a lot of endurance. I also pump survival to 8 in order to get +40% healing received. Since the deflection with a large shield and maxed RES is good you mostly catch grazes if you get hit at all. Thick armor will catch most of that damage and what remains as MIN damage will get healed by Veteran's Recovery. No, not squishy. Once you get Weapon and Shield Style (next talent I'd pick) you can easily take the role of the main tank. You can start with higher CON of course and retrain later. Because later you def. don't need CON at all. Remember: with 3 CON a barb has quite the same endurance as a fighter with 10 CON. And a fighter with 10 CON and a shield is not squishy. But I encountered no problem with 3 CON right from the start. Alse keep in mind that this was not a solo run. When soloing I would use more CON - mostly because of fortitude. Boeroer how did you survive with 3 CON? Even if I give him 10+ CON my barb still gets ate up.

So what was the playthrough like before you hit lvl 9?

I will take all the information I can get. I love to see different opinions

Sorry for all the questions but what weapons is this character using?

What do the attributes look like for the shockhog

does the race matter at all? what would you pick for the race? from what you have said so far it sounds like a moon godlike is the best choice

Is there a good guide for this?

Hmm what is the non min-maxing approach for a spell caster and melee druid one that wouldnt get knocked out so easily but could carry my team in dps

Sorry for not specifying but I meant for spell damage. I'm looking for a glass cannon nuker

Any suggestions?

What would a dual wield bittercut build path be if you want him to top the dmg charts?

I'm sending my monk in first but I can't generate wounds because enemies just ignore him when I send the rest of my team in. What should I do?

How would you build that Ranger for persistence?

What I meant by micro is constantly switching targets to apply the dot to all the mobs. Like your mad hornet build.

Without the micro does persistence still outdmg the rain of godagh bow?

I've read somewhere that the godagh bow with durgan steel is best. Is this true?

Which one is going to be the highest dps. Any insight is appreciated thank you.

I will have to take screen shots when I get home to give you more details

Currently at lvl 4 I'm running lay on hands, zealous focus, weapon and shield, and shielding touch. My Chanter who is my main tank is running veterans recovery, ancient memory. I gave both of them high con for the early game. Is it because it's early in the game that my Chanter is doing a better job at taking hits?
