From the top of my head: I don't see you listing Slicken. Ninagauth's will give you that spell and it's a very good tool to have. It will help you with those long Druid casts, too.

You see... I think your problem is that you don't actually play the game but instead ask all these questions... which yields mostly subjective answers. Without making the mistakes you won't really have the wherewithal.

There's the Deadly Deadfire mod at Nexus, but that one is a bit old now. You might find something else if you dig around a bit.

My most favourite class in this game, purely from flavour perspective, is Corpse Eater. I like both Enrages. I like Barbaric Smash. I like the Shouts. I like... pretty much everything. Especially the eat the flesh of your fallen enemies bit. Very Heavy Metal. Try as I might, I can't make it work smoothly. But I am making a solo toon... so maybe there's the reason.

I'll not take 'nerfed' at face value .

I've got half a mind to say that Barbarian is the weakest, as in, the most under-tuned.

I think by now it has become sort of clear that you just let the small fries get in between her and yourself xD. I think it's intended and not cheesing.

Maybe bring more Adra Potions?

One man's shallow waters are another's depthless ocean.

? I wouldn't go about pointing fingers like that... people expect things out of young men, you know.

^ If Belranga is not hitting you, it sounds like you might get a bit more value with Crusted Swordfish for another +2 pen on all your spells... Does Stone of Power stack with Potion of Ascention? You might find some other items to buff Minoletta's Minors' power levels some more.

Most of the items it uses no longer provide these liberal benefits. While the basic idea still works, you will not be doing that much damage. Or be that accurate.

The build is less viable now, you can still play it, though. I don't think Goldpact would work with it.

Magnera's Chain gives you another +10 Will for those fights. With System Shock you should have enough armour to get Overpenetrated by the Maelstrom. I don't know if you can enchant Griffin's Blade right now, but that's another 5 Will.

Witcher 3 is a hot mess with nice looking 3 pairs of boobs reused all over the place. Could have at least given us a bit more variation there.

Mmm... yeah... it's not like it surprises anyone xD. Anyways. If you want to see what exactly 'occasionally' means in this case, make a Shattered Pillar with the talent and just autoattack things in town. To me it looks like 30 % or so... you can keep him permanently in Blade Turning, btw. Doesn't excuse the poor descriptions, though. They really need to up their game and give us the proper details in written form. Comtessa's Cage ftw.

If you're not in Solo mode, you can recruit him and get the robe. Otherwise you can kill him through conversation, but that will make you cruel, so make sure you're in no rest mode before that for the Nature's Resolve buff. Lastly, you can always just leave him where he is and attack him once conversation is over for no penalty... fair combat that way, no? :D

I don't know who you're talking to, but I'd very much like Nemnok to be pulling the strings, yeah x).

121 Will is way too little. What equipment are you using? That's why the build plays better under Berath's Challenge. You can run away, Withdraw, buff up, then run in and cast scroll of Circle of Protection. If I rememeber correctly, the bone mages have 91 accuracy on AD at best. Add 75 and you get 165 Will. You have to work towards that number. And you will need 195 for the fampyrs. Another thing you can do is have potions of Major Recovery, because AD always grazes you for less than 10s. At worse, you can always just cast a normal Maelstrom on top of them. They are rather fragile. Never forget about Slicken and Chill Fog. If you will be buffing through Deltro's avoid using any Hit to Graze conversions, especially from Llengrath's Displaced Image. If you double check my vids, you will see me doing exactly that. Check your equipment to see if you have got anything of that kind, as well. Use Llengrath's if you will be doing normal combat, which is very doable under Sacred Stairs, btw. With Focused Flames, Devotion and Nature's Resolve your accuracy will always be enough to give yourself a hit. You can easily do the early fight at the BoW dlc, so you can get the Harbinger's Robes right now. That is much better for you than going naked. You can also use the Deltro's Cage for that +2 Lightning power level to buff up Maelstroms and just nuke regularly in the smaller fights. Another tip I can give you for doing small combat is to use Llengrath's Safeguard before the combat start. Again, that's if you'll not be using Deltro's Helm. That way Llengrath's will go at half health without you having to cast it during combat and will likely stay on for the next combat.

Not that I disagree, but I'd prefer him to be a bit more self-aware and conscious. He really comes across as a grandomaniac, one that never expects to be defeated, and that never ties too well with neither smart, nor old. And makes for rather boring villains, too. Or did you mean that this trait allows Nemnok to have vastly different combat mechanics? I really wouldn't mind that, too, you know .

Good thing the weapons you really need come with the bonuses already on them xD.

He's too flat and one-dimensional to be a main antagonist, I think. Nemnok and Co. would make a great faction instead, no? Something like, we don't really know where Eothas is going. Now we have to gather information about ancient Engwithan sites of Huge Adra and we must inquire after all the different factions. Thus we come across yours truly. Come to think of it... the circle of Magi would make a great faction in this, as well.
