Just tried, Big Ooze 10 minutes, Belranga 6. SC helwalker, well equipped (xefa, scordeo, magrans, mortar). But that is easier(faster) half of megabosses for monk. I had to use pots for ooze(3).

You can recruit anybody, they will go and stay on ship. No access to inventory unfortunately.

@ thelee if you recruit Xoti she's gonna be on ship, you know what you have to do if you want that lamp😉 @Dyxx parallel playthrough it's must have IMHO

Yep, lack of solid autohealing on helwalker can be problem. Edit what about sage? (bloodmage) I killed Belranga and Ooze with sage, Doru is easy with anything multi with monk, only Auranic can be a problem. But I didn't try dlcs. But with massive cheese FS and BoW should be easy, trigger Brilliant from cloak out of combat and stack few hours of it with Wall of draining on some barrels etc. should be enough because you don't go to world map in this dlcs.

For fights without danger to resolve take pet(20 health on kill) and sabre from dragon lair maybe (8 on crit)?

There is a high chance (don't remember what %) that you gonna put a dot on enemy or yourself, with swift flurry /heartbeat drumming one iteration of WotW is enough to put it on yourself.

Boeroer does swift flurry and heartbeat drumming procs generate wounds for shattered pillar? Ps i think that heartbeat drumming can trigger only from first attack, never saw more than one proc of it. Swift flurry on the other side I saw up to 11 procs in one attack.

@thelee On SC helwalker solo run i died after port maje only if I heavily missplayed(ie i was bored of WotW). I had few deaths in Maje when I tried gorecci and digsite. Affliction were covered by shark soup, skaen robe(perception), modwyr and pet(resolve resistance but I knew where there was danger of it) and laughingstock cap( doesn't influence you but when you summon souls they have it too so you shake off "shaken") Two layers of concentration (belt and hood from FS, first dlc to finish because of that, didn't pick passive ) were enough to fire first WotW. With Hylea talons( I aimed with strenght to have the dot from it above 8 with 2 wounds but without Thunderous Blows for generating more wounds) and dance of the death I could chain WotW almost indefinitely. Does Ultimate allows retraining? Edit I switch for INT and/or RES immunities gear when needed only.

With monk you have renewable resources, spammable summons that can help a lot and quasi spammable full attack (stunning surge). From the other side with rouge you can almost always reset the encouter so you can argue that other class doesn't matter that much. But shadowdancer it's a beast in terms of single target DPS. edit. and Tuotilo's Palm, dmg with it is not so bad with deathblows/sneak attack, you can gain a lot of survivalibity with it and it benefits from TWS and WaSS

@ Arjuna it depends how You define solo, soloing 100% content? Hell no, I can't think about any char that can do it exept maybe herald (I may be wrong) but all of that extreme hard content is optional (SSS fights, megabosses).

I've read that Swashbuckler is better with sabres but I have no exp. whatsoever so I just have to trust more knowledgeable people What is your opinion on single class streetfighter? I've played SC Rouge solo way before DLCs but IMHO in terms of pure DPS there are better options but if you want to roleplay certain char it's ok. Gambit it's not worth to play around, i've try it with rapiers modal and and 14 guile (10 after gambit so 100% hit to crit) and still DPS was meh (in terms of max you could pull off, don't get me wrong SC rouge is top 3 in terms of melee damage) . Vanishing Strike is more a Assasin domain but Streetfighter can use it effectively. If you exclude monk you really rob yourself of some good synergies. Some extreme examples of shadowdancer in screenshots (all dmg in logs are from one attack if I remember correctly).

Streefigter/Devoted(Mob Stance) maybe if You don't want monk? Or Streetfighter/Barbarian. But to be honest monk would be the best fit to pair it with rouge IMHO.

Beza's Toothed Blade will lower enemy AR on crit.

You don't need high stealth to hit him with dagger(full attack once per encounter and out of combat)

Blood mage/tactician. And anybody with Lover's Embrace and Rakhan Field Boots/Invisibility.

Anything with monk in it? Killed him with Essence Interrupter and Dichotomus Soul with SC monk as a experiment (without using Resonant Touch).

Maybe if you respec into all passives and pray to Kratos and Lady Luck you can pull it off but slim chances.

What about Survivor encounter? No problems with losing bonuses there?

Maybe try to give yourself that artifacts with console.

Last few playthroughs I do final rest after that. I was tired of trying to not lose bonuses on Seeker and Suvivor encounters. I suspect last patch changed something.

Easy fix would be to make Wall of Draining combat only. Now it is possible to stack hour of brilliant on first barrel you see, out of combat and finish for example Forgotten Sanctum.

Somebody should tweet it to Josh Sawyer, that can speed up patching https://vimeo.com/331099224

Yes, I knew that I can ignore damage.

I needed blade turnig just to drink potion of final stand and trigger cloak without problems. Her attacks were not reflected back but I dont't know why.
