Why would they balance other classes to the lowest common denominator all kidding aside, judging by the poll on this forum, Ranger is widely considered the worst class in this game (I believe the votes were around 30%). As far as interesting I personally think they are the least interesting after trying a number of combinations.

Not to mention that the mech-dragon doesn'teven neccessarily show up. Yeah wtf is that? Happened to me first playthrough.

One of the worst abilities in the game is a ridiculous statement, an an opinion that could be easily refuted, but you make a few good pts otherwise. It's not about the strength of the affliction is the fact that it stacks with Borrowed Instinct and applies AN affliction, allowing for Sneak Attack and Deathblows. And it already has low recovery time, so no idea what you're talking about there. Your point with the shield is fair, but there no way I'm taking the shield over Mental Binding and Mindblades, two of the best low level Cipher spells. And what's the point of Tactical Meld? Fighters don't need it and when does the Cipher need more engagement? Most likely you will already have high PER or use any of the 38927 PER buffs. It's completely wasted if your party is built right.

Yeah it's obnoxious lol. Oh hey ANOTHER unique saber!

Yeah I've run across this too.

Yeah you def have it completely reversed lmao. The other Wizard weapons are great esp the higher level ones.

Bah

Ok this could potentially be a major build bug, because who wants every effect from the beginning of the game affecting them? Essentially, take a look at any character's Current Effects. What I'm seeing is that characters are affected by gear no longer present. Pallegina has Five Suns Breastplate, but I don't even have it anymore. Also affected by Ball and Chain, wielded by Serafan, who isn't currently in the party. Or...is the list wrong and the affects are being applied correctly? On my phone, sorry no screenshot.

Do they change much based on which POE1 ending? Eder the Mayor, for example, is skeptical of Xoti at first for her devote faith. Then realizes he was like that. Now, if the Black Market Eder said this, it would make no sense. Same with Palle being so devoted to the Republics if she is a raving homeless person. So, do their personalities change depending on history?

I agree that itemization is much better. Except Grimoires are a huge step back.

^ really well said

My RP was the illusions are actually his dwarven ancestors watching out for hm directly. Very cool I dig it.

Sigh...just did this today. I may go back to fight the Kraken

Assassin/Evoker sounds awesome lol.

Phantom Foes has a HUGE AoE...probably one of the biggest in the games...but I agree it does have competition. Mental Binding is very fast and perfect for "oh ****" moments. Secret Horrors already addressed. Also wanted to mention Wild Leech which applies and affliction and stacks with Borrowed Instinct (one of the best self buffs). These are perfect for a Mindstalker.

Interesting...heavy armor. Is that mitigated by Armored Grace and Abraham? I like the build but I don't think I could make Trickster in heavy armor work from a RP perspective. But from a combat perspective it's the perfect tank. Good stuff!

Ranged out damaging melee? Hmm always thought it would be reversed.

Yeah a lot of those abilities are fast and powerful. Secret Horrors should be a higher level spell - shuts down offensive spells and think of the synergy with Deathblows.

Can I quote you on that

My question to him is - why are the main story missions so short on both content and narrative?

There should be a penalty if you rest too much.

Taylor Swift isn't all that bad and Justin B has the most watched video ever on YT. What have you slackers done

Your Ship's Cook is pretty strong

Just attack your teammate till he/she gets knocked out

Agreed this is the solution.
