On "The Forgotten" fight; how do you get the melees separated from the casters? I always seem to get 2 of the melees to split but not the other two, which means the 2 casters kill me without effort. Perhaps its a fight meant for a level higher than 6?

That's super helpful, I didn't see that before! I'm still a bit lost as far as how to prepare them. Do you usually have "Come, Come Soft Winds of Death" be the only one so it just repeats itself? I see where it says the duration is 4 seconds for "At the Sight of..." and "Blessed Was..." but I don't see where it says how long it takes to chant them; is that what linger is? Does your chant look something like: "At the Sight of..." > "Blessed Was..." > "Come, Come..." or stagger them like "At the Sight of..." > "Come, Come..." > "Blessed Was..." > "Come, Come..." ??

I'm really interested in this build, but knowing nothing about how to play a chanter, could you give me a breakdown of the first 5 levels (ie. what gear do you use, what spells and in what order etc.)? Once past that point, the game seems to get much easier on PotD. Thanks!

What wizard build are you using?

Thanks for the tip! I will buy the boots, but right now I'm struggling with the phantasms in Caed Nua so I can't even get to Defiance Bay. They stun-lock me until I die even with Bear's Fortitude and it appears the problem isn't even endurance, it's health. I run out of health before I run out of endurance. I'm level 4 and have the Gloves of Manipulation, Rymrgand's Mantle, Ring of Searing Flames, Plate armor, Minor Ring of Deflection, Blunting Belt and Whispers of Yenwood. Should I put a shield on just for the extra DR?

Hello! I recently purchased the Hero Edition of Pillars of Eternity on Steam and I'm really interested in this build. Reading through the guide I'm confused as several of the skills and talents listed don't appear when leveling up my character; do I need the White March expansions? Could you list the abilities and talents in order of level? EDIT: I'm just confused as the guide mentions talents like Apprentice's Sneak Attack, Veteran Recovery and Vulnerable Attack. None of which I see as a possible choice when choosing abilities and talents upon leveling. Thanks!
