[Help me build a character]

Helwalker/Trickster is a blast. Max perception and dexterity, dump resolve, put remaining points in intellect and might. The simultaneous +10 might and +10 intellect (from turning wheel) at max wounds will make you formidable in melee and give long spell durations, while swift flurry increases both melee and casting speed. A good opening strategy is to activate swift flurry, enduring dance, mirrored/displaced image, and repulsive visage in quick succession, then refresh as necessary once your intellect is buffed to pretty much infinitely terror-lock most (at least kith) enemies. There are a few good single-target debuffs as well; it's just a really versatile multi that's both adaptable and a lot of fun to play

sounds interesting. Ill try it out

[Help me build a character]

I played and beat poe1 awhile ago, just recently got poe2 deadfire. I play on POTD, I prefer solo but I'll go maybe with one or two(max) party members for story and dialogue for my first playthrough. I'm very picky with my races, I only like elf's or humans and Ive been stumped for about 6 hours trying to figure out a combination that would work. Im leaning mostly to a shadowdancer, I tried  a Nalpazca/streetdighter but did not like the fact I need to be high to actually fight.

 

 

I want a shadowdancer or something that keep my restartitis from kicking in, I actually want to play the game without restarting a bunch of times. I've looked through all the builds here and on YouTube(sintee mostly) and really have not  seen anything that I would play from start to finish.

 

So I'm looking for some ideas, starting stats, best weapons proficiency to choose from(no range), something sustainable but also a monster at pushing out damage. And again( shadowdancer preferred), no chanters 

 

Thank you and it's much appreciated. I just want to play without restarting 300 times.Thank you again for all your input

[PoTD solo builds - share you experience and thoughts]

Street fighter + wizard

 

Max might, min dex, max perception, rest whatever. Dual blunderbuss. Powderburns causes the street fighter bonuses to go off(distracted), mage for your survivability.

I'm currently running a pale elf solo, hard( as I'm quite new, no potd until I beat it at least once lol).

 

I started off at:

 

10 might

10 constitution

18 dex +1elf (19 total)

16 perception +1elf +1 the white that wends (18 total)

18 intellect

3 resolve.

 

Dual wielding sabres. I'm currently level 10, not too bad so far. You gain quite a bit of focus from dw, and it looks way better. Fashion > powergaming
