Arcane Dampener vs Surpress Affliction
Can someone explain me how this two interact with each other? If one enemy uses Dampener on my group, does SA surpress Dampener effect and my Inspirations are restored? or they are or nullified until i use them again? Or does Arcane Damp persist on the area used even if SA is used? This is really confusing. Does anyone know?

Best wizard spells?
i'm having a hardtime considering repicking my lvl1 spells...i'm running chillfog, spirit shield and the accuracy buff, since it stacks with the priest acc spell. but fleet feet is too good and the spell with 100% interrupt can make a good use also, any thoughts?

Caster lovers, how do you deal with the 3-4.5sec casting times?
casting time is just fine, you just cant wear heavy plate on casters... in fact my wizard pulls spells and damage so fast that the whole team looks way slower compared to him...wizard damage is crazy good

Deadfire vs Tyranny
eschu101 replied to rone's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)i just think it's a tad... tilted to judge the evil/good of a military or a military doctrine using modern measurements when these actions take place in an iron age world. things change, values change. etc. I can see where you're coming from, but the Scarlet Chorus was written with these things with the *intention* that they'd be judged as evil. The Disfavored and the Scarlet Chorus are designed to be the two faces of evil; cold, calculating, pragmatic evil vs wild, chaotic, uninhibited evil. Both also have good sides to them; the Disfavored are disciplined, honorable, and respect the law while the Scarlet Chorus is egalitarian, values freedom, and considers individual achievement to be the best measure of leadership. The choice your supposed to have is "What values are more important to me? What moral compromises will I make for those values?" I'm agree with that, Disfavored is Loyal Evil and Scarlet Chorus is Chaotic Evil. In a way Disfavored is fascism and Scarlet Chorus is bolchevism-leninism. However you're wrong about Waffen-SS, non-german Division are real division like the Viking Division (Scandinavians), Wallonie Division (Belgium) and Charlemagne Division (French). Because leninism is evil, obviously! Hahaha, damn liberals. Tyranny isnt about "in a world where evil won". Its about the foundation of a state, the uprising of a great power. This is happening everyday since always. The slogan for the game is "Sometimes, evil wins." The developers statement of intent is "a game that challenges players to find their place in an original fantasy realm where evil has conquered the known world.” Like, this isn't difficult, you know? Thats called advertising. It doesnt include the nuances of storytelling and worldbuilding. Anyway, you still could call that "evil won" in the game just because people do bad ****. And i'm not saying that they are not evil, because evil is exactly the subject of debate.

Warlock caster?
Is it possible? A barb/wiz that mainly casts spells with dual pistol, does frenzy and carnage work properly for ranged attacks?

[CLASS BUILD] solo Evoker - MoM - PotD
I was reading this guide and started wondering how important intellect reallt is for wiz, even a vanilla one. Too much int also makes hard to place a good fireball or another AoE without hitting teammates during the fight, and wizards hit damn hard. It could be important to cheese fireballs while stealthing before the fight, but that takes all the fun away. 10/12 int should be more than enough, dump resolve, max might/per/dex and you get a few points in con.

Play now or wait for patching master thread
eschu101 replied to Majber's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yes, at first i didnt consider to do so, but as soon i got to Neketaka i started feeling the game was getting easier, and then too easy (POTD, lvl7), and then they announced 1.1 so i'll be waiting. Maybe i'll start a few runs with different classes to try out and just play until Deadlight fort. Not sure if i will start a new game once 1.1 is ready or start a brand new game. Early june, probably in 2 weeks

Update #48 - What's Next?
Great news, thank you! Do we get any details on the balance changes before the 1.1 release? I'll be waiting to continue my game.

Are single/multi Wizards worth it at this pt?
MC is vanilla wiz and aloth is battlemage. Both are very good and really fun. I really enjoy wizard in POE2, definitly my fav class. The grimoire system could definitly use some tweaks and more diverse unique effects, but if you choose one (like ninagauth or vaporous) and pick your skills around it is really nice.

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part IV
eschu101 replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)When is this patch that Josh talked about coming? I think i'm very early in the game, just arrived at neketaka and met maia and the other companions there. IThe game is still balanced so far (POTD), honestly i had a few very rough fights, but i'm afraid it starts getting easier and easier now. Does it take too long to get unbalanced and too easy?

Wizards...butchered.
eschu101 replied to Hebruixe's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm playing a vanilla wizard and i'm really liking it. Initial levels were really hard (potd), especially with 2 wizard on group (my pc vanilla and battlemage alloth) but now i'm level 6 and i really find it enjoying. My PC is very frail (8con/3res) but the damage tops everyone in the group by far, even serafen. Chill fog and Fireball do all the work.

Level scaling
Is there anyway to turn it on during the game? I started with scaling off because i heard it was not working as intended, and now that is fixed i wanted to turn it on, but for that i need to start a new game. is there any way of bypassing this? console? mod?

eschu101 replied to Tanjaxxx's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I've just noticed that justin bell himself is replying here. Cant miss the opportunity to say how much i love tyranny's soundtrack, one of most memorable i've ever listened. Its been more than a year that i finished the game and i still listen it at least once or twice per week. Really hope for a sequel.
