What is a MC?

is there any known build for this i can follow? stat points, race, background, etc?

I like magic and I like melee. Figured the Arcane Knight did a combo of both. Not like a melee rogue/assassin, but like a mace to the face, or an axe/sword.

What do you suggest then?

Does anyone have a build guide for steel garrote/bloodmage? Can anyone tell me what the combo class together is called? Is it still Arcane Knight? Ooooorrrrrrrrr are you saying use the build above but use Steel Garrote/Bloodemage instead?

Hello. I'm looking for a Steel Garrote/Bloodmage guide. Someone suggested it to me on a post I necroed. Turn based, not solo, playing Veteran, since it's my first play through.

I was a backer for this game, even got my name in the credits, I wonder why I only got a VIP badge? But, moving on, I never actually played outside of the beta, so this is my first ever play through since I got bored with everything else and then seen this game in my steam library and remembered that I had this gem that I forgot about. I got all DLC content. I did play PoE1. Level Scaling: All, only scale upwards, is on, as well. Anyways, I am not playing solo, I am playing veteran, and I did do this build above. I am playing turned based for the Final Fantasy Tactics nostalgia feels. I did try Gorecci Street....unknowing of the difficulty. I did kill 2 of the "skull" marked guys with the above build, Eder, and Xoti. But they wrecked me after that. Can I go back to it later in the game? Boeroer, you're recommending Bloodmage with Steel Garrote, yes? Is there a build guide for your suggested build? I literally spent like 2-3 hours yesterday before playing trying to find something that sounds/looks good/cool and came upon this build. Or is it Steel Garrote with Bloodmage? Thanks for your help, both of you! EDIT: I am using the following mods, Close to Board Deals No Damage, No Friendly Fire, Enhanced UI, Paper Trinkets_01, The Red Hand Plus Friends, Fair Trade, ThePantry, Trinkets, Black Market Oddities 1.3, SpoilsOfCaedNua.

Is this build still viable?

Add an attribute reset button to the character creation screen just in case you mess up on the points. This way you're not taking away too many points from an attribute that should be at base, for example.
