Mod request: pallid knight hair
BalkothTheFeared replied to mrmonocle's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire: Modding (Spoiler Warning!)I'm curious as well as to how you obtained the locations of these .asset files.

[Build] Dark Knight of Wael (Paladin/Priest)
Yeah, the only thing my race gives me is the ability to walk through muck, which isn't really a big issue in this game to make it worthwhile. The Race/Origin choice is mainly for looks/conversational dialogue.

[Announce] Priest of Rymrgand
BalkothTheFeared replied to ydaraishy's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire: Modding (Spoiler Warning!)See the other thread I wrote asking about this. The game is choking on that Subclass field there and rejecting the bundle. Don't forget to check the game logs when you don't see expected results. Ahhh, that makes sense. I'll give it a go thanks!

In your opinion, what is the most evil build?
BalkothTheFeared replied to Ildun's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)"Evil" is hard in this game. But I am playing right now a Wizard/Cipher who uses Resolve Afflictions like Terrify and Mind-control spells like Dominate. You could consider that "evil" in a way.

Is Monk too good to multiclass?
Monk/Fighter with Swift Flurry and Cleave would like to have a word with you.
-
Maia: Ranger/Wizard or Ranger/Rogue?
All of them are good. Ranger/Rogue has really high mobility Ranger/Wizard has buffs and a good Blightheart Ranger/ gets Twin Shot, which is a really good when you're using a gun.
-
Mage Slayer. Best in role? (Opinion please)
I only could see it really useful if you have a back-row of mages throwing fireballs as you are tanking a bunch of enemies.

The Good and the Unfortunately Very Bad of POE2: a review NO SPOILERS
BalkothTheFeared replied to smokeBomb's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yeah, that's a severe problem with romance pacing. Five minutes of Maia in my party and she's already asking if I'm banging anyone. There are times when I wonder if my watcher has Aloth, Eder and Pally rotating shifts outside his door to keep the horndogs away. It's a bug in the reputation system though. Really they shouldn't be doing that unless they're 3-4 I would imagine, but I can't even get anyone above a 2, and even companions at -1 are hitting on me.

Is Pillars of Eternity II men hating pro feminist game.
BalkothTheFeared replied to Pete121's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Eder, literally one of the poster-characters for the game/series is a big ole' racist. Take that what you will.

[Build] Dark Knight of Wael (Paladin/Priest)
Well, this build is more about Paladin/Priest, so I don't know what I would do with that wizard stuff.

[Announce] Priest of Rymrgand
BalkothTheFeared replied to ydaraishy's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire: Modding (Spoiler Warning!)I'm curious how you got the subclass to show? I added a subclass myself to an override, but it never seems to appear in the list. { "GameDataObjects": [ { "$type": "Game.GameData.CharacterSubClassGameData, Assembly-CSharp", "DebugName": "Barbarian_BerserkerClone", "ID": "e062164b-8db9-4d38-9a66-d535ff9a2396", "Components": [ { "$type": "Game.GameData.CharacterSubClassComponent, Assembly-CSharp", "DisplayName": 1, "SummaryText": 1, "DescriptionText": 1, "ForClassID": "825817d4-1fb0-4e5c-bf84-473743ad98de", "HideInCharacterCreation": "false", "Subclass": "Barbarian_BerserkerClone" } ] } ] }

Getting the spooky Hangman ship but after killing all the Principi

Two-handed (melee): Convince me
Wahai Poraga and Whispers of the Endless Paths are the main reasons I feel to use a 2H weapon.

[BUILD] The Tornado (Fighter/Monk)
When I did this initially, I did it with Barbarian. THe AOE already hits friends, so adding Berserker would be just fine. If you want to avoid Fighter/Monk, you can try Berserker/Streetfighter instead.

[Build] Dark Knight of Wael (Paladin/Priest)
Are you doing that via a scroll? The Priest of Wael doesn't get that spell as far as I am aware.

[Build] Dark Knight of Wael (Paladin/Priest)
Interesting, might be worth it to start the battle with the wand and then switch to swords.

[Build] Dark Knight of Wael (Paladin/Priest)
Build Name: Death Knight of Wael Subclass(es): Bleakwalker/Priest of Wael Short Description: High defense single-target damage dealer. Author: BalkothTheFeared Game version: 1.02 Difficulty: POTD Solo: Untested I thought Inquisitor was going to be first character, but after 20 hours and hating it, I decided to try out the Templar. Which ended up being a way more fun experience. High damage output + High survivablity means that he can just keep putting out damage, while healing himself and giving deflection bonuses. The Wael priest will give spells that up your deflection, and almost every power level you get a better one! Add this to the healing that you receive. The bonus penetration that a priest can get for both Fire and Corrode damage, you are pretty much set. You get some mind-bending abilities too. And even the AOe paralyze at the end. You're made to hit hard however, not cast spells. But they're available! Race: Island Aumaua Origin: Deadfire Archipelago Background: Mercenary My stat spead: Skill Recommendations: Paladin : https://i.imgur.com/dOhAuu0.jpg Priest : https://i.imgur.com/DRxMgkV.jpg A quick demonstration of the build at around level 16 or so. Nothing fancy here, but as you can see, it can take a few hits and keep hitting back hard. So how do we boost the power-level of all those illusionary skills? How do I terrify my foes and make them temble before me? Thankfully, there's a mask for that: It gives +2 power rating to Illusionary skills. An active Terrify ability. And then it terrifies your foes when you get low on health! This thing is why it's so hard for me to play a Godlike. Armor: While there are plenty of nice armors, such as the Devil of Caroc's armor. I prefer to keep the theme, and once you reach the late-game you get this bad-boy. While you are taking hits, you are healing your allies and dealing periodic RAW damage to enemies. Notable early game weapons: You know her, you love her. She gives so much extra burn damage and that immunity to Intellect afflictions. Oh boy she's pretty great. --- The Whispers of Yenwood, once enchanted, is an excellent secondary. Spirit-slaying aside, the Reliable trait makes this a sword worth off-handing at least. --- Late® game weapons you get both of these by exploring a mountain on the top of the map. They're interesting enough to show off: More burn damage? Launching fireballs on a kill? Yes please! --- I don't know how to feel about this one to be honest. It seems almost made for a Paladin, given that it gives +3 power levels on all Fire tagged abilities. Combine this with the flail and you'll be causing so many firey AOE bursts while busting out your own fire-y blades.

[BUILD] The Tornado (Fighter/Monk)
I did the same thing without Mob Stance using a Streetfighter, there's no actual build as I was testing things around. I imagine that Paladin could be a good choice too.

[BUILD] The Tornado (Fighter/Monk)
1: If you look at the skills selected, I believe I do take both. I don't know if it's really "needed" but it makes the build speedier. You can do without the switching if you want. 2: I considered the Whispers but upon testing I found the Wahai Poraga to kill enemies faster because I can gather them all around me and just spin-to-win. I just had the rest of my party with ranged weapons and abilities to teleport away from me.

Why don't all the people complaining about challenge use Grog?
BalkothTheFeared replied to Karkarov's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Well, considering it's more than possible to solo the game without too much of a hard time, adding Grog wouldn't help things as much.

[BUILD] The Tornado (Fighter/Monk)
Build Name: The Tornado Subclass(es): Devoted(Pollaxe)/Any Monk [brawler] Short Description: High attack speed in an area around the user, utilizes Mob Stance and Swift Strikes to cleave enemies and gain an even higher attack speed. Author: BalkothTheFeared Game version: 1.02 Difficulty: POTD Solo: No So, what is this build? Well, it's all about standing in a pack of enemies and spinning like crazy in order to cause as much damage as possible! Utilizing the Wahai Poraga and your own fists, you can easily swap between a more defensive build or to an offensive build. Penetrating Strikes hits all enemies around you, or you strike fast with your own fists twice in a row. You can swap out Penetrating Strikes for a Knock Down in order to lock enemies down, activate your Defender modal and your Halberd Modal in order to gain +4 engagements if you want! This was crazy fun to play, at the end of my run I dwarfed the damage output of all my companions. Striking all enemies in a circle around me, triggering Mob Stance to attack enemies, then using Swift Strikes to gain another attack when I critically hit. Recommended Stat Spread: Recommended Races: Elf or Orlan, We will need to max out Dex as much as possible, but the Orlan gets some good penetration. For my playthrough I used an Elf. 38 second video showing off the build on some low-level mooks: Skills Selected: https://imgur.com/a/vpzfywz What items are needed? These two are probably the most important bits of this build. The next are three armors that are extremely useful. With the exception of the Devil of Caroc Breastplate, your recovery time is actually going to be LOWER than not wearing any armor at all. Even even with the Devil of Caroc breastplace, it is only slower by 0.1.

[Release] All NPC classes unlocked
A really really simple and tiny change to characters.gamebundle to allow you to place such classes as Gunhawk or Priest of Woedica. https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/44/ All I did was change "HideInCharacterCreation": "true" to "HideInCharacterCreation": "false" for all the classes. Enjoy.
