Gonorrhoeae

I personnaly played a potd solo cantor ( hellwaker/skald) and it's run fine. With 30+ int you get 2 phrases perma persistance (Not so risky to play with 2 heal chant perma with tank gear)+ the monk side give you lot of thing to do meanwhile you recover chant. Meta maybe not, but fun to play ( skald aoe with 35 might and 30+ int do the job ). And maybe not the "best" class ( best : do you mean the more easy to kill all content ? the most fun ? ) Sorry for my poor english

You can look this build , maybe something for you if you dont want micro/summon. Maybe not the best like the title but take a look

Thks for this very nice build. I'm lvl 10 with and just get Akola's Apex Ward. Enchant : blood rage : +10 acc & +10% damage under 50 % optional :+ perma 5% damage + 3 deflection vs weapon hard counter : cruch riposte 15% chance optional : + 1AR or : +10% crunch ripost Better than bronlar or not ? lose max 10 deflection maybe but win riposte/+10acc/+15% damage. And very easy to get ( kill all on takano's estate, then ship battle against a prao ... not so hard )

double post sorry

I’m glad to introduce you to Fredo Mercuro, a magical singer. A very surprising ( for me) strong wizard. The chant part is quite similar of my precedent build (I love the spark side of skald, not so fan of summoning or paralysed aoe) Class: Loremaster - Wizard/ Skald Solo : Yes POTD test full run Version : 3.1 Spell shaping is great in this build, thks obsidian for this upgrade in the middle of my run . In this particular build there is a lot of aoe, perfect to test this new feature. Race: Pale elf ( what you want, but I like PER and +4AR fire/ice) Attributes: MIG: 18 +2 BB = 20 CON: 3 + 2BB = 5 DEX: 13+ 1elf + 2 BB = 16 PER: 18 +1elf + 1 Back ground + 2 BB = 22 INT: 18+ 2 BB = 20 RES: 5+2 BB = 7 (if you take more stat grom cauldron/effigies ... go to PER, it's your best friend Weapon Mod : Medium Shield ( very cool mod) Flail ( Low reflex is a must for this build) (morning star / club, always take , -25 will / -25 Fortitude can be usefull fo futur) Gears: Armor: Deltro's Cage (early game) / Nomad's Brigandine (for more def late game) Weapons : Sun and Moon + Nerian's Ward ( very nice survival with Father's Masterwork enchant + modal ) Sun and moon modal low reflex ( good for the 2 aoe in the build) Sun and moon fight the day mostly and night for fire dragon Sun and moon is legendary and can be buy direclty after Port Maje Neck: Strand of Favor Belt: The Maker's Own Power Ring 1: Ring of Focused Flame/ Kuaru's Prize Hands: Woedica's Strangling Grasp ( Gauntlets of Accuracy can be better, accuracy is the best, i dont find any of them in this run ) Cloak: Cape of the Falling Star Head: Thaos' Headdress Boots: Footprints of Ahu Taka(annoying ... reset all point to get 15 in athletics...) / Boots of the Stone is a good option. Pet: Abraham/otto your choice Food : Crusted Swordfish (+2 pen is important in POTD) Book : Ninagauth's Teachings Grimoire of Vaporous Wizardry (mostly for Expose Vulnerabilities and 1 more combusting wounds) Skills: Arcane for meteor scroll Abilities: Level 1 (Wiz): Spirit Shield (Skald): Come, Come Soft Winds of Death + Thrice Was She Wronged, and Thrice Justly Avenged Level 2 (Skald) : And Hel-Hyraf Crashed Upon the Shield Level 3 (Wiz): Chill Fog Level 4 (Wiz): Infuse with Vital Essence (Skald): Weapon and Shield Style Level 5 (Wiz): Combusting Wounds (your very best friend) Level 6 (Skald): If their Bones Still Slept Under that Hill, None Can Say (or another non offensive , basicely to get 4 phrases to blast 2 times at the start of the fight, I never invoc skelly ) Level 7 (Wiz): Llengrath's Displaced Image (Skald): Ancient Memory Level 8 (Skald): Her Revenge Swept Across the Land Level 9 (Wiz)/(Skald ): Bear's Fortitude Level 10 (Wiz): Scion of Flame (Skald): Shaping aoe Level 11 (Wiz): Heart of the Storm Level 12 (Wiz): Secrets of Rime Level 13 (Wiz): Rapid Casting (Skald): Llengrath's Safeguard Level 14 (Skald): Seven nights she waited while the white winds wept Level 15 (Skald)/wiz): Uncanny Luck Level 16 (Wiz): Spell Resistance (Skald): Improved Critical Level 17 (Wiz): Their Companion Braved the Horde Alone (like skell invocation, juste to get 6 phrases avalaible on the fight ) Level 18 (Wiz) /(Skald): Tough Level 19 (Wiz): Lasting Empower ( or Bull's Will ) (Skald): Her Tears Fell Like Rain Level 20 (Wiz)/(Skald) Accurate Empower or (Combat Focus) Lvl 19-20 if you have some nice advice not so sure fore empower ability, don’t really use empower ( maybe big mistake, but keep it to recover more ability sounds good. PROs : -Few consumable. big fight you can use scroll meteor shower / potion accuracy (Deftness / Perfect Aim) + Heal potion. -Nice wiz def + chant perma heal ( with int buff you are near troub phrase persistence) -good aoe dps and with the 3.1 patch you can concentrate aoe to have 1 PL free or extend to hit more foe. But most important, in term of feeling it’s very nice. Before that patch, launch a big aoe on 1 guy was a bit frustrating for me. -Versatility, just look lowest def and hit on that. -Lot of CW trigger and nice heal CONS : CW dependent, if you fail to hit boss with, it can be a long fight. (maybe one hit with morning star modal -25 fortitude can help, but can be a little bit risky + time switch/hit/switch) Playstyle : It’s basically a Combusting wounds wizard + chant lightning to trigger wounds. fog / wall of flame / CW go shock all you can also use slicken, i start fampyr with it, dont know if fog be better but always fun to see great vampire tumble onto the floor. It’s just fun , strong, nice aoe, melt every thing. Solid but not godlike, so you don’t lose fun to fight. When you die, retry with better position / spell strategies and win ! It’s kind of magic PS : I do the all game solo with this guy, but don’t try dlc. So maybe not enough strong to very big encounter. I’ll try and come back to update.

An Heavy Paladin with infinit heal and lightning. I know it’s not a very original build but I don’t see one of this kind on the list ( I have a pretty similar cantor ( hellwalker/skald) run in progress). I do the full run solo, nothing kill you (good placement is important for large cone aoe), some boss fight can be long =>AI lightning / auto attack and watch. But you can do your solo run easily I play it on a Palpatine/Dark sidious style, very kind and raisonable with people to get the power and LIGHTNING all his enemies !! Class: Herald - Goldpact Knight/ Skald Solo : Yes POTD test full run Version : 3.0.2 Race: Pale elf ( what you want, but I like PER and +4AR fire/ice) + PER background) Attributes: MIG: 18 +2 BB = 20 CON: 6 + 2BB = 8 DEX: 7+ 1elf + 2 BB = 10 PER: 18 +1elf + 1 Back ground + 2 BB = 22 INT: 18+ 2 BB = 20 RES: 8+2 BB = 10 Abilities:Level 1 (GP): Lay on Hands (Skald): Come, Come Soft Winds of Death Level 2 (GP): Deep Faith Level 3 (GP): Thrice Was She Wronged, and Thrice Justly Avenged Level 4 (GP): Zealous Aura (Skald): Weapon and Shield Style Level 5 (GP): Divine Purpose Level 6 (GP): Inspired Defenses Level 7 (GP): Sworn Rival (Skald): Ancient Memory Level 8 (GP) /(Skald): Bull's Will Level 9 (GP)/(Skald ): Bear's Fortitude Level 10 (GP): Exalted Endurance (Skald): Her Revenge Swept Across the Land Level 11 (Skald): Inspired Path Level 12 (GP): Iron Gut Level 13 (GP): Practiced Healer (Skald): Seven nights she waited while the white winds wept Level 14 (Skald): Rapid Casting Level 15 (Skald): Uncanny Luck Level 16 (GP): Virtuous Triumph (Skald): Improved Critical Level 17 (GP): Clear Head Level 18 (Skald): Mental Fortress Level 19 (GP): Stoic Steel (Skald): Her Tears Fell Like Rain Level 20 (GP)/(Skald): Combat Focus Weapon Mod : Large Shield Flail modal ( Low reflex is a must for this build) MACE ( low AR is good sometimes ) Gears: Armor: Deltro's Cage Weapons : Sun and Moon + Cadhu Scalth Sun and moon is double hit ( double chance to crit and gain a phrase, if I’m not wrong) Sun and moon modal low reflex ( good for the 2 aoe in the build) Sun and moon at night give +2 freeze PL Sun and moon is legendary and can be buy direclty after Port Maje Neck: Bone Setter's Torc Belt: The Maker's Own Power Ring 1: Ring of Greater Regeneration/ Ring of the Solitary Wanderer Hands: Woedica's Strangling Grasp Cloak: Cape of the Falling Star Head: Fair Favor Boots: Footprints of Ahu Taka/ Boots of the Stone) Pet: Abraham Food : Crusted Swordfish (+2 pen is important in POTD) Skills: Athletics: MAX Metaphysic: MAX (Skald)ills is for the shield, but you do what you want, it’s not very important. You can take another shield, prefer large for modal -50% for range damage or reflex ( dragon breath etc…) PROs : -few management -no consumable needed -solid build solo since start ( thanks to paladin stacking AR + very large perma HOT) -good aoe dps for 95% of the game CONS : - for some bosses it’s a tiny bit long ( not high dps boss here)

I have the same issue here . ( version 3.0.2.00.27 ) Any solutions found ?
