Better skip efficient anguish for lesser wounds, on helwalker with high enough strenght (21-22 out of combat ) and hylea talons dot from it gonna be above 8dmg even without thounderous blows and generate wounds , with enduring dance you can chain cast WotW like nalpazca. Would be good to fit clarity of agony and heartbeat drumming too. By lv 20 parting sorrow and long stride are useless IMHO on helwalker, ajamuut stalking cloak is a must. For armor I would take effigy husk for PER immu (at lv 20 only defenses you need are immunities/resistances and concetration to fire up first WotW.) For weapon any combination of fists, grave calling, magrans favor, scordeos edge is good, I prefer Axe (modal) +scordeo for non slash immu for extra stacks dots- modal doesn't influence recovery of WotW and scordeo gives extra acc for more crits( and more hits with main hand thanks too heartbeat drumming) rust poingard and mortars are really good too

20 start57 level15 paladin 50 escape from cape 50 veil from hood 25 from max resolve 20 safeguard 6 weapon and shield 8 large shield 10 mythic shield 8 Cadhu bonus 10 armor (casita, furrante or gipon- you can "preload" bonus by hitting yourself with missiles before combat) 15 Duskfall 7 bracers 2+2 rings 305 deflection, memory failed me , I don't know how Wizard Double would stack with it (+20??) with WotEP should be 262? so you can bash some heads while casting

Arcane Knight can go much higher(don't remember exact number but somewhere 310ish) with Wall of draining and items .

click that dot on top of dialog window

solution is there, dialogs may differ a little depends on backstory and party

check @thelee guide, he explained there how blood sacrifice work https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/227477-pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire/faqs/76599/wizard voidvard just reduce raw dmg try to give bm some healing over time (like robust or lay of hands, or even lesser lay from gloves) and grab with wall of draining few enemies to prolong effect, then you can spam sacrifice to get spells you want

aa ok in that case, I vaguely remember that invis was breaking on dot but i don't have any experience with community patch yet. I like persistent because penalty to def is passive and stacks with stunned.

Thats breaking on any DoT so if you want to spread them boots are pretty useless. No persistent distraction?

ok. Why no Cap of Laughingstock? No funds? Or wantend rekvu's with wound? Since you melee mostly that essentialy +10acc

@Tenray hey. Watching it now, did you try writ of war on 2nd stage Hauani? I am wondering if it prevents merge (but WILL may be to high too land...)

It would be nice to know how much content you want to solo but if you want to scratch that megabosses itch SC nalpazca is the safest pick.

i've posted video guide in first part of ultimate thread

Nice find. What's that brilliant buff? You consoled it??

I've used hylea's bounty on 90% of my chars early and no matter how many save/loade cycles I did defences were always supressed by safeguard or borrowed instinct. edit. quick test on monk and indeed after reload glazed chops stacked with might inspiration. It looks like some food can be exploited like that.

You have to raise your INT and lower RES of enemies. But on monk I can only think of left Hand of Obscured and Endre's Flog of Obedience to do it (lower res). Or enfeebled, but that's hard to get if you're not a FF monk.

Healing? It's scales with might. But can you just ignore Vela and go fist+hand mortar+hylea talons to just chain WotW and stunt in AoE until everybody is dead?

@Tenray there are few pets with +20hp on kill if you can swap

Is there so many enemies that can't be stunt? Did you try how long will hand mortar last there? edit @thelee you need cpt banquet if you use cloak for brilliant, simple confusion can strip you of it. edit quoted wrong chap

You can use rakhan field boots + essence interrupter+blunting belt to trigger deltro, but that's quite a challange for pathing the run.

Just did quick run with rouge to test it

You can lose buffs on scripted ship events too and on 2 of 3 places on Kazuwari island, on Ultimate it looks like you don't really need it but (depends on pathing) it's possible to grab it on way from Dorudugan to BoW. Hylea bounty it nice just early, it doesn't stack with others defence buffs. Most gamers use Cpt. banquet or shark soup for no rest run. edit. I usually on no rest run rush exp/Ashen Maw, then start SSS to lose buffs and then start proper no rest run.

strange, for me it works 100%, I tested it on some old save and its ok https://vimeo.com/352026651

drink potion, quicksave, reload

You don't really feel that ( i've soloed with bloodmage/helwalker, killled all megabosses). What you missing (i think, sorry) is experience with lv20 gameplay and enemies. Brilliant , SoT, BDD, bloodmage+health regeneration+ wall off draining use , blade cascade, conduit etc trash fight is just trash fight, you can pull nice numbers but its tricky vs opponent with smth like 150 score in defences

try SC helwaker or nalpazca, it doesn't look like at first glance but that some crazy dps
