I figured I might be able to fix this as there is a line in abilities.gamedatabundle: StackingRuleOverride. But I have no idea what a conditional there can be entered aside from Default that is used commonly. Any idea on what conditions can be entered there?
-
Thanks for the sum up Boeroer.
I suppose at this point it would be easier to just remove the erroneous stacking of PD flanked with stunned, as suposedly that's not supposed to happen in the first place. Or maybe it can't be fixed because it's a passive. Ehh, not a good moment to be bordering on OCD. Thanks anyway guys!

I set "StackWithAllSimilarDataEffects" for both. Just in case)
3x8 or 2x12... - 10 Flanked = -34. Vanilla max penalty is -33. Sounds fine by me.
Hi, I recently found an issue with flanked stacking rules that unfortunately is not resolved with the change issued by CP. The issue is: when target is stunned -10 Def stacks with flanked -10 Def from Persistant distraction, however, when the target is blinded by any other source and therfore flanked by stronger effect, it no longer stacks with flanked. This causes the enemy to have a seeming 10 Def spike when upgrading distracted debuff to blinded.
Any thoughts as how I might fix this? (thoroughly tested with diffrent sources of blinding the enemy on cre_dummies)
-
Unfortunately, that doesn't work confounding blind's flanked still stops to stack with stunned -10 Deff debuff

Probably you should check the change in the CP file ? Since the files are per ability, it is usually easy to find a particular change.
OOOH, I outdumbed myself, figured that with this much changes they made a single file for it or sth, thank you very much.

Community Patch makes the confounding blind Deflection malus stacks with everything (but decreases its value to -2 Def per shot).
Already seen that, and thank you for the info, but I was wondering how I could try to mess with it myself anyway as this gives me more flexibility reagarding what it stacks with.
Edit: to maybe explain better as to what I'm after, it's not just about the confounding blind, more as to make deflection stack with everything, or is that the case in community patch? I don't mind it being weaker or same as long as it stacks properly. ^^
-
So, does anyone maybe know how could I fix this so that flanked from blinded stacks with stunned but eg. is simply suppresed by gradually increasing bonus from confounding blind? I tried looking at statuseffects.gamedatabundle but no luck so far.
-
Definately not the Bring Low, tasted it with bare fists, the issue persists unfortunately.
On a side note, it is very interesting how Bring Low is considered a positive effect of all things.
EDIT: also tested with chilling fog, it also does NOT stack with -10 Def bonus from stunned and overwrites the effects of PD

As in the title, I've found something odd while testing what stacks with Rust's poingard bring low effect on crit. Fighting a cre_dummy with 49 native deflection, flanked from Persistant Distracion gives expected -10 Def, that always stacks with -10 Def from stunned.
So a the dummy has now 29 Def and things get weird.
With Bring Low that gives us nice stacked -30 Def and dummy now has 19 Def.
But when adding Confounding Blind (or gouging, I thought it might be an issue with the mechanic behid the stacking bonus of -3 Def/hit), we get a floater indicatig that flanked and distracted (from PD) gets canceled and a new flanked and blinded are now in effect (from CB).
Now the bonus from stunned doesn't stack and we get a dummy with 39 Def (or 29 Def if Bring Low is active) effectively increasing it's Def until hit a few times.
So, am I correct in assuming that the stacking rules change for flanked regarding it's source when it changes from a passive (PD) to an active one (CB)?

Other than one mod for aloth there aren't any mods for making this reputation system more "bug" free, or did something escape me?
-
Now, we all know that Aloth might be a bit bitchy during deadfire voyages, might be Ishiza's dropping between his grimoire pages but let's be honest, this is getting a bit out of hand.
To dislike someone for something you said, that was a praise. SMH

-------------------------------------------------------------------So there you have it, now for the more in-depth part.
The monk is a primary melee class and even though cipher isn's, the Soul Anihilition ability gives us something to start with. This build revolves around two things 1.As much accuracy as we can get, and we have some nice tools for that. And 2. lowering recovery as much we can (the rapier modal might seem couterintuitive but we'll get to that).
This build has some crowd control with torment's reach (and proper positioning) and very good single targer dps. It can tank surprisingly well given it's gear, and extremely well with nemnok's cloak, but then again, with it, anything can.
Most of the equipment is available early on but this build is still a mid-late bloomer. Basically, when fully kitted out, we want to have rapier modal active at the start of combat, gain some focus, cast borrowed instinct, and crit enemy to death. As long as we have borrowed instinct we turn modal off, the bonus does not stack, it will give the same acc bonus but also +20 to all defences which is huge (best to cast with full wounds for +10 INT).
If the chance-to-hit gets below 95% it is better to use tormen't reach to gain focus and spike the damage with soul anihilation, unfortunatelly, we lack acces to Intuitive. Remember also that hit-to-crit chance does not stack, they have a chance to proc independently (no suppresion either).
Now about weapons, Rannig's Wrath gives us +10% Action Speed with +4 Acc bonus from Thrusting (that goes on top of rapier native +5 Accurate bonus). This makes it a grat way to start the surging striking.
Tuotilo's Palm gets transcendant suffering scaling bonuses so it will end up with more penetration at PL7 then legendary rapier which is kind of funny if you ask me. It has lower base damage than fists so it will be a bit weaker but the "mythic" accuracy bonus (and one of it's upgrades gives it +5 accuracy with unarmed attacks, which it itself also uses, making it great for crits). Honestly it's almost a reverse shield, made for hiting, gives bonus to accuracy instead of a penalty, while still giving bonuses to def and ref. But most importantly, it allowes us to take advantage of two diffrent Fighting Styles (two weapons and weapon and shield) at the same time. To say nothing about increasing wound gain. When does it stop?
Well, here, but you get it.
Closer to the endgame you get acces to Seeker's Fang. It is cipher boundable and well, guess what. Does damage over time on crits that scales with current focus (that stacks) AND another raw DoT when hitting enemy with any affliction. If only we had acces to stun or sth. ^^ It's Spider's Flurry ability also works great to gain early focus (being per encounter) and immobilize enemies for raised torment positioning.
Important thing is to keep your AR as high as possible because well, we're a bit glassy.
This makes a fairly versatile character that can even further increase his AR (+2) while debuffing one enemy (-2AR) with body attunement and supply allies with brilliant for long fights. High penetration, high crit chance and good to great speed with a high chance at peak to chain attacks with Swift Flurry and Heartbeat Drumming. And it's not very complicated to play with, only a bit of positionig gimmicks.
That would be for it. My first build. <yay!> I'm writing this after not sleeping through the night so if I missed something or you feel something is unclear, please let me know in the comments.
Allllriht, ya scalywags, get yer hands to the rigging and hoist those sails! Hard to larboard! And all that. Keep deadfire safe from green man lads!
PS. I copied Ascaloth's template for describing build, I hope You/He don't/doesn't mind but it was just very clear and transparent so I couldn't resist. Also quite tired.

Manged to do it by myself, if someone is looking for an aswer to my question instruction how to do it is here

Okay, managed to figure it out myself, turns it's ridiculously easy. So here's a detailed process even for those unfamiliar with modding unity. First locate your item .unity3d file. Files are located in: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\assetbundles\prefabs\objectbundle and named as in game just with "_" instead of spaces. Px# means its from dlc. Now You need UABE it's Unity Asset Bundle Extractor.
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF THE FILE BEFORE YOU EDIT IT
1. You have to open the item you want to change. Now export the file and open the exported one. There is a lot of stuff here but we are interested in MonoBehaviour asset, now look at the type and the one we need to open is MonoBehaviour: Equipable. Now to select it you need to click one left part which doesn't specify the type, just make sure it's the proper one.
2. Now you will want to choose export dump. And we have a nice editable .txt file. Open it and look for "AppearancePiece Appearance" there will be few values here.
0 int bodyPiece = 1
0 int armorType = 6
0 int modelVariation = 2
0 int materialVariation = 2
1 string specialOverride = ""3. Now open the armor you want to copy the appearance form like in step 1. but here you don't need to export it, just choose the proper monobehaviour and choose view data. Look up the same part and you'll see the same int entrys just with diffrent values. Change those in .txt file to one's looked up. Save the file.
4. Select the MonoBehaviour: Equipable in the exported file but this time we need to "import dump". Save the assets file as anything you like e.g. water.assets, the .assets part is iportant for the next step.
5. Open the .unity3d file of armor you want to edit and choose import and then pick the .assets file. no conformation here but it is done in a second and you just have to save the now modified .unity3d file. It has to have the same name as the original but UABE can't overwrite files so just save it with the same name in diffrent location.
6. Copy and overwrite the modified file to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\assetbundles\prefabs\objectbundle and voila, you can have a robe looking like plate armour. By raw exporting texture 2D both L and S asset and importing it to desired modded armor you can make sure the icon corresponds properly to the in-game model of modded item.

There's a mod that fixes the issue here, though obviously this only works for the PC version of the game.
This mod apparently had some textures problems so here's mine, should work fine as it contains files with no ties to textures. https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/212

Hi,
Is anyone able to explain how one might be able to "swap" armor graphics? Meaning 3d models not just the icon (that i have managed somehow).
I've tried messing around with it after tese two tutorials (https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/86034-tutorial-making-potions-usable-outside-of-combat/, https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/86074-tutorial-editing-abilities-talents-and-items/). But because they don't really cover this matter, unfortunately I can't get it to work no matter what I try with swapping seamingly coresponding game object assets. Any help would be most welcome.

Did some digging, and think I can provide a 'legit' way to produce the outcome you want. The trick is actually to choose your words carefully during the animancy hearing.
The Duc's ruling at the end of the hearing depends on arguments made throughout - on the events at the Sanitarium (Azo), research at Heritage Hill, and your closing argument and advice on what to do about animancy. All three have equal weight.
On the other hand, the Eyeless only call you out on being hypocritical if your advice on animancy was that it should be studied (either of the positive lines).
If you want the Duc to rule in support of animancy, but still have the option to temper the Eyeless by arguing against it, support animancy in the first two arguments (defend Azo, blame the events at Heritage Hill on the Leaden Key), then, in the final argument, defer - argue that animancy has been given too long a leash and needs oversight.
Pair that with freeing the souls from Durgan's Battery (and not encouraging the Crucible Knights to continue researching the Forge Knights) and you should be able to win this line of questioning.
Just an addendum, not all arguments are equal, here you'll have precise information about weight of the points made: https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Animancy_hearings

Another 'interesting' part of this bug: whichever power I use, its accuracy bonus becomes permanent, i.e. after having used Flames of Devotion, I gain a permanent +10 to accuracy.
'Luckily', it seems I am no longer the only one suffering from this bug. I suppose we'll have to await a fix.
I must admit, having the same WotEP buff mod, it put me at ease to see that others have the same problem. Although I'm sorry for you as well. ^^ Cheers!

Ok, it IS possible, without cheesing. Turns out that arcane damepner on Deadfire Ilusionists makes it far easier as they can't use either Ceadebald's Blackbow or Citzal's Martial Power and even cancels out arcane reflection. And here is how it went down:

Thanks for the replies guys! Much appreciated :D I decided to first take care of Llengrath while waiting on this info and it went perfectly. Because it worked beautifuly (gonna upload soon) now I can't stop trying to do Brynlod fight in one pull (ego got a little bit too big). ^^ Aside from that I must admit that my "in head canon" loved Your argument Hulk'O'Saurus so I'd probably go the separating way if not for recent ego boost.

Flanked stacks diffrently when the source changes
in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Characters Builds, Strategies & the Unity Engine (Spoiler Warning!)
Posted · Edited by Frykas
Seems to me that they only changed the stacking of flanked_SE_deaflection and armor to stack with CB malus.
I managed to fix the issue kind of, simply changing persistent distraction in abilities.gamedatabundle "IsPassive": to "false", it no longer stacks with stunned but it moves it to the left side of levelup screen so it's not ideal. I would prefer to allow for stacking with the stunned penalty because even if a bit op it deos make logical sense. But at this point it is becomig annoying so I'd settle for a clean fix that Def just goes down once by -10 and not up and down, that's just wrong.
EDIT: managed a cleaner one, setting StackingRuleOverride to "never" in abilities.gamedatabundle fixes the issue of stacking -10 Def from stunned and PD's flanked. Not as nice as having stacked flanked with stunned regardless of their source but as the issue goes, this can be considdered fix. If i figure out how to do that in a clean way, Ill post it here but now it's more of a vanity project. Any help is of course most welcome. Thank you all again!
