    Pike, Club, Arbalest, Hunting Bow, MedShield availability

    in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Characters Builds, Strategies & the Unity Engine (Spoiler Warning!)

    Posted

    There are two Pikes, two clubs (one Soulbound), one Arbalest and one Hunting Bow. You can find details for all of them on the official Wiki. I haven't gotten round to adding the details for shields and armour yet so I don't know how many there are or what they are.

    Thanks for the link. 

    Soulbound Club? Where?

    Also, do you know where I can find Aamiina's Legacy hunting bow?

    Tekehu Questions

    I won't say anything but this.

    Tekehu = pure Druid, going multi or even worse pure chanter is a mistake you will regret.

     

    Disagree. He brings much more to the party as multi-class and it's not even close.

     

    If I were building him for shark-shift, then pure Druid only for the 3rd tier wild strike. His best water spell is chill fog by far, but his chanter benefits easily outweigh what you give up in the druid tree. 

     

     

    Well I am guessing you are mainly speaking for Chants as benefits since there aren't that many invocations that outweigh the priority of using them before druid spells ( correct me if I am wrong )  and by the time you exhausted all your druid resources "usually" the fight has ended. 

     

    Well if we are indeed mainly labeling the benefits as Chants then I have to say you don't get any good ones until late game. The only one that might worth it prior late game is the lvl 10 chant which gives deflection but it will be usually be suppressed by your's party melee active/passive abilities that give more deflection, so not so much worth it.

     

    I don't see that many benefits justifying maiming your progression as a druid.

    ( Didn't know where to post this, hope I am to the right page )

     

    After playing a fair amount of time, I couldn't find any remotely good ( or any at all ) of the above mentioned equipment groups.

     

    Can anyone share his knowledge and finds for those groups? Need to plan out my party Weapon Sets before restarting. 

     

    ( I mostly ask of this cause as per current version you "cannot" respec your PC without loosing a great deal of things. )

    Thanks!

     

    Theory craft Tempest asking for tips

    in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Characters Builds, Strategies & the Unity Engine (Spoiler Warning!)

    Since I am waiting for the Difficulty fix patch for GoG I am stuck here thinking how awesome (or not) Tempest will be.

     

    Specifically Nature Godlike or Heath Orlan , Berserker+Shifter , Sven addict.

     

    The main concept is casting few aoe lingering spells( Mostly Storms )

    and buffs/debuffs at start then change into a desired form and start barbaring the shiat out of people with electricity Wildstrikes.

     

    Simple but I wonder , will it actually work?( on PoeD+LvL scale )

    Any comments, tips, pointers are significantly welcome.

    Any good items that you know off that boost the spellcasting phase of the build?

    Maia Rua to multi or not to multi?

    Well if you ask me I would say 100% pure Ranger, so no Multiclass.

    All her passive and active Abilities for single target dps are too good for this role so you shouldn't maim her progression at all.

    Her Accuracy is unparalleled resulting in many Crits. I wont go in depth for Abilities but I will say that you should consider Concussive Tranquilizer(Upgraded).

     

    As per active skills I totally recommend :

    Primary Alchemy: Applying poison before fight and hitting that back row Mage and dying after 1 shot is too strong by its own rights. ( And you can assume that it will hit with your kind Accuracy ) 

    Secondary Stealth: To support Alchemy + Upgrading her chest bonus ( extra ranged deflection )

     

    As per equipment: 

    Armor = Her default armor is awesome.

    Consider investing in Stride since she is kinda position dependable. ( Especially if you like using "Wild Call"(up) ability )

    The necklace "Precognition" is a solid choice for her.

     

    As per weapons:

    -Weapon Set 1

         Your assumptions are correct. You need a good Arquaberus no matter what.

    -Weapon Set 2

         I would recommend Blunderbuss+MeleeWeapon. ( Especially "Kitchen Stove" )

         This way you get extra minus reload time on the blunderbuss from dual wield AND the "Marksman" ability bonus since the max range for Blunder is         4.8m       thanks to her Gunhawk subclass resulting to having that extra Acc when you usually shouldn't have with this weapon choice.

    Optional Weapon Set 3

         Her personal quest reward Arquaberus that does AoE in a line is cool too and equally buggy. ( Needs even more positioning babysit )

     

    PS. Maia main waifu :Q
