I tried Resolve-stacking with Forbidden Fist. Even with 30 resolve before inspirations (and 35 in combat thanks to Courageous from LoH) as well as several -hostile effect duration items, the shortest I ever saw it go was 12s. I've given up on it, it doesn't seem like there's a legit way of using it (without something like the frost boots + confusion) to me that isn't "hope the enemies have lots of afflictions that you get hit by".

I've been running the Tactician/Trickster that I cribbed mostly from knownastherat upthread (thanks for that by the way). It's super fun, but probably a lot less powerful generally than the Battlemage version. However, I'd wager post 10 or so it does a lot better when you have a small amount of melee enemies to face, since you can keep them perma-distracted. I kind of want to try out the Battlemage version as well but may end up doing chanter/wizard instead.

Still awesome Can you get both of the hand mortars in a Magran's fires solo playthrough? This sounds pretty fun.
