  1. I tried a multi assassin / wizard and it failed spectacularly for the following reasons

     

    - don’t try and build a multi class wizard to sling damaging spells and buffs/ or debuffs on enemies. You will never come anywhere close to being as good as a single class wizard at this. Not even in the same ballpark. Like seriously don’t attempt it, all you will accomplish is the severe weakening off a very powerful wizard by multiclassing it for no reason at all.

     

    - I was aware of that he above so I attempted to build a assasin / wizard that specialised in buffing himself to increase tankiness, speed and damage per second. This also failed spectacularly for the following reasons:

     

    1. Both the level 1 and 2 mirrored image spells either completely disappear after being hit ( the level 1 one) or severely diminish in power after being hit ( the level 2 one) . Both of them are not worth it and arcane veil is the only good defensive spell up to second level and it has a stupid short duration of 12 seconds. IMO also not worth it. There are two really good defensive spells for a wizard one of them is level 3 ( lengraths displaced image) and the level 5 iron skin. The sad thing is I realised that I didn’t need to buff myself for survivabilty because other companions in my party could buff me far better then I could buff myself. For example the cipher in my party was constantly buffing me with pain block and the priest was buffing me with devotions of the faithful.

     

    2.the level three haste spell basically does nothing now. All it does is increase Dex by 5 points and you walk in combat faster. This spell would have been a huge help to a multiclassed dps wizard had they left it like it was in POE1. But no it is also currently useless and far from worth using

     

    3. As mentioned above by Jerek Kruger the summoned weapons are crap

     

    So I realised multiclassing a wizard was a complete waste of time and ended my playthrough because a single class wizard was on another level more powerful. If I could have put up with it until I got citzals martial power then it would have been fun but that would have been right at the end of the game.

  2. Guys you are wasting your time talking about ways to implement your own balancing changes with the game in its current form.

     

    On the Twitch stream Q and A sawyer said thhat both Veteran and POTD are in FOR A HUGE OVERHAUL.

     

    Like a really big overhaul. Both of these difficulties are currently broken and they have not tuned them yet. 

     

    Im hoping will be fixed by end of next week.

    You think a Assassin/ wizard is a bad multi?

    It probably would be the most powerful multi in the game when they get citzals martial power.

    I thought people played Spellblade as assassin/evoker critting with fireballs from stealth or some such, not as a martial class? I mean would you really end up using citzals martial power at max lvl?

    why would you want to do that when a single class wizard can do it better

    Assassinate works with spells. So, +25 Accuracy, +4 penetration, and +50% crit damage on spells. Thats why. Also, evasion is great for a squishy, deep pockets on a wizard means 6 quick slots for grimoires, combat stealth abilities, etc. Also if evoker's passive goes off out of stealth it will really do some damage.

     

    Good damage from stealth, best mobility in the game, and tons of utility not available to wizard class. Sounds reasonable to me.

     

    The best reason to do it is fun, and an Evoker/Sin looks like a lot of fun.

     

    Yeah but there a wizard self buffs that are far better then the assassinate ability

     

    Plus you get far less spells to use if you mulitclass

     

    The best way to build a multi-rogue would be to use wizard spells to boost melee and melee defense eg Arcane veil, merciless gaze, Displaced image, haste, and citzals martial power

     

    You are never going to beat a pure wizard caster with any multi-classed wizard if you want to sling damaging spells and buffs/ debuffs.......Period.

     

    Like no way in hell even going to come close to it. Absolutely no chance. All you are achieving is you are severely weakening the wizard

    I'm about 20 hours in now.  I can say, for my game at least, I've been consistently encountering bugs throughout that whole time.  Most can be fixed by a simple reload, but some have caused quest problems that I couldn't get around.  Judging by these forums and the subreddit, it seems I'm not alone.

     

    Off the top of my head, I managed to break Harsh Medicine, Food for Thought, and the feuding families quest in Queen's Berth.  I also didn't realize until much later that both Eder and Pellagina did not receive the correct endings from my save game transfer, or that there were supposed to be punishments/boons from the gods (I pledged to all of them and went with Skaen cause I'm a jerk).  And I found out you were supposed to have Whispers of Yenwood and the reforged sword from Caed Nua if you did those quests.  Didn't have either in the captain's room.

     

    I'm thinking of stopping my playthrough and restarting in a month or two after most of the bugs get ironed out.  I love the game, but it's difficult to keep going like this.  I feel like I'm not getting the experience that the developers, designers, and writers intended.

    I’ve gone with the “wait till it’s fixed” idea too. On the upside, I can finish my POE1 play through... but I would have preferred the QA to have been adequately performed on 2 so I didn’t have to wait...

     

    you seem to have what others are lacking.........................

     

    a brain

  6.  

    You show me one official response from anyone at obsidian on this forum stating they are fixing both POTD being broken and level scaling not working

    You can’t

    Cause there is none

    Watch the twitch stream Q+A they did yesterday. 

     

    They CONFIRMED they are BOTH fixing POTD (longer project) and LEVEL SCALING separately (patching this week).  

     

    Watch it.

     

    Cause they said it.

    I posted that before the twitch feed

  7. The game in its current state (a complete walkover) would not necessarly be  the best testing ground for multiclass synergies at the moment

     

    wait until they fix it then say you have good synergies that work.

     

    Any synergy from any multiclass will be good and beat the game at the moment

     

    A level one priest/ monk with a quarterstaff is a synergy that can beat the game on POTD 

     

    i wish i was joking

  8. I love the multiclassing. How can anyone believe they suck? A cipher with Carnage? A tank with Riposte? Anything with Faith and Conviction? So many possibilities some stronger then others. I've only played this game solo so far because of the lack of difficulty and I am super happy about multiclassing. I love my Bleakwalker/Assassin!

    because the game currently isnt big enough to make them worthwhile,

     

    by the time you gain enough levels to get what you want half the game is over, 

     

    I will be rolling multis after the expansions come out

  9. @OP

     

    Dude you have seriously missed the boat this has been well discussed

     

    https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97171-potd-difficulty-launch-not-tuned-discussion-thread/

     

    The issue is not tweaking classes the issue is currrently veteran difficulty and POTD have not been tuned and adjusted yet. Playing POTD is basically the same as playing on the easiest difficulty
