I just keep digging these things up ;D. There is a difference in the penetration tooltip on the scroll and the combat window. The game actually calculates the scroll to have 9 base penetration during combat instead of 7. Can't find any reason why, though.

Not a big deal. Just cosmetics... everything functions as intented, so it's not a biggie. Still, letting the devs know.

Complicating math is complicating... The 300% damage reduction shouldn't be taken literraly. In layman terms it's still 75 % reduction. 100 damage goes down to 25.

*To OP: Why don't you try Ghostheart Ranger/Rogue or Rogue subclass of choice? You can always end combat as soon as you like making you very safe, even in solo, and giving you an opportunity to learn the game better. It also comes with base built in monstrous accuracy, penetration and interrupt bonuses allowing you to use a greater variety of weapons, armours and, if you like, forego consumables completely. You can do every non-ship bounty in the game early by just killing one thing(if you like) and so get a lot of xp and cash.

That's not always true... it really comes down to the build. Yes, with dumped Int it really won't be a great addition at all, I agree. It also needs to be said that Courageous is a great buff in solo. There are other means to become uninterruptible, but it's always good to have options.

Yeah, if you're making a TCS run, it obviously should use a TCS setup from the first game, too ;D... other than that, I dunno.

Poor Aloth... to be reduced down to a... romancible character.

If you hover over your stat it will give you precise breakdown down to decimals. Personally, I am never too bothered with deflection... I really like all of my other defences high, though, plus concentration or interruptible. After a certain point I find that deflection don't matter no more to me.

You can always respec at any inn if you want to get some more milage out of those. I don't know how much per point you get when we're talking about Casita's Legacy or that Essence Interrupter... because I am guessing that's the one you're having. But when it comes to my most favourite item in the game--a cloak that buffs all deffences per History skill, it gives you 0.5 more per point. It might be the same for the yours, too, but I don't know.

Don't really know why, but here it is.

I was thinking exactly of that... if it were a different name people wouldn't notice it as much... still, broken af :D.

Yummie... Wonder if this intended or not...

Let me just add that last time I was resting with Hylea's it wasn't stacking with Adra Potion's skills. So instead I do one rest at Wild Mare's Private Dance room, then stack as much skills as possible and open/loot as many items as I can, and generally run pacifists until I start doing bounties at around 13(deadly mod installed, which reduces xp.) Then I 'respec' into fighting gear which includes food of choice(most often for me it's Crusted Swordfish,) Dawnstar's Blessing, Konstanten's Boon, Luminous Bathhouse, Adra Potion(because I am a scroll maniac), Alchemist Shenanigans from the island(first fight I can skip, because I most often play Nature Godlike,) Red Hand(if applicable--doesn't work for spells, far as I can tell,) and now Nature's Resolve(which is a crazy buff--together with Borrowed instincts it adds +30 accuracy to scrolls so we can enjoy Pull of Eora even more.) There are certain events in the game, like putting 500 coins in that machine at Arkemyr's Shop that apparently count as resting and remove the buffs. Sneaking in Fort Deadlight with a boat is one of them, too.

* Raven Darkholme Holly ****, dude. It works. Nature's Resolve also adds 10 accuracy to scrolls, as well. It's crazy.

That makes all the sense... I was playing a Natureling :D. Thanks, dude. I'll actually try it out now.

The first time in every combat encounter I use Kalakoth's Minor Blights scroll it doesn't summon the weapon. You have to use a second scroll in order to get it.

I find this interesting, because while I tried the Robust side of LoH for me it was more important not to be interrupted. My game-maker was Courageous. But then again I was playing an Arcane Knight, so perhaps there is a world of difference in there. By the way, how exactly do you obtain this 'Nature's Resolve?'... I searched for it, but the only info that got dug up was that it was no longer available after 2.0... Do you mind the extra elaboration? *diamondsforever Just some small info--I think the 'end combat' button is called Smoke Veil... you can pretty much finish 1st isle without a fight in about 15 minutes with something like that... not a biggie, but it does shave some hours off from your playthrough. And of course, it doesn't work if you're challenged by Berath xD.

Ha... so much they have to look into right now, that just thinking about poe3 makes me chuckle. x)

Yo, may I have that one, pls... I mean the movie, not the spider man .

Dampener would need to make a check vs her high will. That's +20 will with Llengrath's. The mage will just use that lvl 9 spell to remove it. Good times. Also, Dampener would just suspend it for some time... mostly 10-15 seconds. On a side note, her fire armour doesn't stay that high even with Llengrath's on, so if you can figure something out, go for it. When I was playing my Arcane Knight, Llengrath's didn't use to proc if you could bring her health bellow 50 % while she was casting it. It was the same for players, btw. Now it's more annoying for sure. Also, Crushing Doom used to reduce Fortitude during the frames the target was proned, so even more dmg goodness. Not anymore :D.

The bug is cleared if you just move in closer, no need to disengage. Annoying for sure, though. As a rogue, don't you get an end combat button at level 4?

Pure Barbarians or Rangers can get a lot mileage out of Hand Mortars.

That's actually interesting to me, so I'll ask the question: Isn't Hot Razor Skewers better than the Kith Meat Pie(was it?) for corspe eater who wants to melee?

You forgot the doonage hooker for another +1 to all skills... Hey, good catch, dude. Thanks.

I meant Berath's Challenge... the blessings triviallize the game too much, imho.
