Has anyone recently been able to get the Good Food, Better Friends buff to stack with food? Recently like Jan-Feb 2020? Because I'm trying -- using all the pause-resting techniques described in this thread, including on-ship-deck pause resting, and I simply cannot get it to stack. Either it overwrites food or food overwrite it. I'd give it to myself via the console but I don't know how to do that.

Can you remind me where/when you pick up this event?

Super cool build/concept. How does it work vs large groups especially OP ones like the Fampyrs/ghouls before you enter Splintered Reef castle, or the Fampyr Cave, of the Sea-lashed Crypt? Is it always shoot, retreat, stealth, repeat for these big groups? And what about space-limited areas like Sissak nest? And how did you tackle the ultra-boss with the obelisks? Thanks!

It's in Boerer's build guide post. Never tried it on TB but probably works fine. Some things changed about it like not multicasting Wall of Draining but it shouldn't be a big problem to overcome.

As I mentioned in my BDD priest/wiz guide (thaumaturge) -- which was largely inspired by stuff Raven/Victor did -- also Slicken is great against small groups of Cleanse/Dampner mobs if they're not KD immune. Like Concelhaut and even some of the Fampyr areas. When they're on their ass, they can't cast. And blood mage for instance (esp with Brilliant) can basically chain-cast slickens.

I'd love to see a PoTD solo Warlock build that feels badass to play.

Unless something has changed with the Community Patch, the problem that always held me back from doing this was the lack of consistent keywords for poison/acid and the lack of +PL items. The only ones I remember were the Chromo quaterstaff and the Helm of Grotto Deep and maybe Spider Silk Robe. It was a lot harder to stack Acid/Poison PL vs say Fire, and the keyword issue held it back even then.

First of all, thanks for the detailed description and video. Super cool. So great to finally see some new interesting builds. I remember a lot of testing with FF when it came out, and the self-healing was pretty underwhelming, so this looks like a potential nice change. Am I wrong, or is the build largely based around auto-attacks with some minor usage of Sworn Rival? That is, a lot of the active offensive attack Monk abilities (Stunning Surge, etc.) and Paladin abilities (Flames of Devotion, Beacon) aren't being used? Maybe that was just the AI in the video? Doing a whole solo PoTD run auto-attacking things to death seems like it might get boring after a while. Have you tested this on PoTD in the cave with the Lich? I actually think it's slightly harder than the Fampyr Cave, as is Splintered Reef entrance. What about late-game stuff like the Overseers or Vithrak Lair in last DLC? Or SSS? Or any megabosses? Again, cool stuff and thanks for posting.

Great effort, folks! Is there a unified final list of all items that the Community patch changes (and how it changes them)?
-
seriously. share > brag.

I vaguely remember their being a monk/fighter build a while back (in the builds list) that relied on Chromoprismatic and DoC and Helm of the Falcon.....

So my two cents adjusted for the topic. One of the cool things that my Deathless Thaumaturge build really liked doing was wading into groups of enemies and just casting SoHF and PoHF right on top of himself/them (since he couldn't die, largely). With +PL items they both hit really hard, and the not-dying part was what made it fun. It felt like priests in some cases get more mileage out of the fire spells, whereas with MC Wizard you can use the Ninagauth's teachings book and rely on ice-related AOEs etc.

I beleive you can reliably resist it with around 190 will which you can get to from gear and buffs. That still won't let you resist Arcane Cleanse, sadly (its largely unresistable). However interrupts work on mobs trying to cast Damper, and frankly Slicken is the bees knees for this (incluing all the mobs at Concelhaut, Fampyrs too). Or you can try to watch individual mobs for the cast icon and interrupt it with Thrust of Tattered Veils or other single target interrupts.

I agree with Boerer and thelee. Moreso if you are doing a solo run, where Tactician/Bloodmage or Priest/Bloodmage is a lot more powerful. In a party, I *might* go Evoker just for missle fun.

I just want to say that I think it's awesome to have a 7 page thread about how to make Deadfire more "Polish" or to continue "Polishing" the game - but to be fair, we shouldn't ignore the other Eastern European countries like Bulgaria and Hungary I kid because I love.
