im happy they didnt add one no mindless braindead dungeon romps for me to much of a grind

what difficulty are you playing on? Ive tried numerous playthroughs now with a cipher on POTD and they arent working at all. They probably would be fine on the easier difficulties On POTD they just cant be justified taking up a party slot when you take into consideration there very limited spell roster, mediocre effects and stupidly short ability duration's and they have to build up focus. And ontop of that some of there spells dont even work at the moment look at defensive mindweb, go try using defensive mindweb on POTD and see what happens. Nothing will happen you will cast a spell for aboslutely nothing because anyone taking even 1 point of damage is straight away taken out of it

yeah why are you fixing this crap when 95% of the abilities and spells in the game are that mediocre that they are not even worth using?

i have restarted playthrough, this time instead of using serafen as a cipher i am using a priest, man it is like playing on a different difficulty the game is soooooo mych easier now on POTD In pillars 1 the main reason reasons you took a cipher was for : amplified wave, time parasite and defensive mindweb Now defensive mindweb doesnt work (especially on POTD), time parasite has been nerfed to half its effectiveness and i think the prone effect on amplified wave has been nerfed aswell eg they get knocked down and then get straight back up Ciphers use to be my fav class now they suck bigtime

Really? How do u know? josh sawyer said so on one of his live streams dont expect anything to drastic

why? I personally would have been happy if they just balanced it by increasing the amount off enemies in every encounter and increasing the stats of enemies, I honestly think that about 90% of the spells and abilities in the game simply are not worth casting, you are better of just auto-attacking and not using the spells/ powers

100% agree great post huge oversite by obsidian the only reason people currently rolling single classes is becasue of the current level cap if the expansions raise the level cap for multis then single class characters will become obsolete

Guys im sorry but in POE1 with its resting casting system ciphers had a huge advantage over other casters becasue they could use there abilities all the time every encounter as long as they built up focus, In deadfire with the new changes to casting every class can use spell every encounter and not have to accumulate focus like ciphers do, And on top of that they have nerfed most of the good cipher abilities, eg mindweb, time parasite Im sorry but ciphers really really really really suck at the moment probably second worst class with rangers bottom

since deadfire has been released they have done a patch about every two weeks Im hanging for the next one because this is the one where they are uptuning spells/ abilities that are not powerful enough whoo hoo!

Im not complaining that POTD is to hard im really enjoying the challenge but im finding that my lead character is getting focus fired with firearms and pretty much dying straight away right at the start of combat, this is especially happening on bounty/ boat fights and tough land encounters the only way i have found around it so far is to put my rogue at the front and have him go invis straight away but then another guy gets focus fired I mean when there are alot more enemies then you its hard to get around this anyone else experiencing this and how are you getting around it?

yes im well aware of all this, I have played ciphers alot in POE1 IMO they just arent that good compared to other classes, They get better in the later levels though

so any word? are they going to increase the cap?

they have to boost it it does nothing in its current state I just reported it as a bug

bump please fix

+5 dex? It does nothing and not worth casting for a level 3 spell There is a dimishing return rule implemented for dex in deadfire to so if you have high dex allready even worse This is a pointless spell and not worth casting please change
