Hello all, I am currently running a party which feels like i lack damage at times and usually runs 4 melee My current party: Pc: offensive barbarian Eder : Tank build Kana: 2nd tank Pallegina: starts with blunderbuss but usually ends up with 2handed sword Durance: backline Aloth : backline I am thinking of changing my comp to fit a dedicated ranged damage dealer. Not sure how to do this. Should I change pallegina for grieving mother? any tips?? Sorry wrong forum probably, can an admin move this to the correct forum? I cant seem to do this myself

I'll give it a try, because it would also be a nice change from my last run. Any advice on the build except pick shock spells? I just started and made a Shattered Pillar Monk (stats are maybe a bit too powergaming). Pale Elf - White that Wends - Laborer Might 18 Constitution 10 Left this as is (dont know if this is gonna bite me in the *** later on.) Dexterity 19 Perception 21 Intellect 6 Resolve 5

Thanks for your comment, I think i'll take Tekehu and see how it goes. I normally use light armors on Tekehu. Deltro's cage seems a heavy armor, doesnt that mean that his recovery is way longer?

Thank you, just read the notes and installed the mod. I created my character before and after the mod install en saw a difference already if i saw it right. I just started a new game and have Eder and Xoti in my party and following @Boeroer's example and going for Xoti and Aloth SC and Eder as a swashbuckler. Last partymember still on debate Is Tekehu not a little bit of the same with Xoti and Aloth as SC's ?

Thank you all for your advice. I did some reading in to the monk class (never played one, not even in other games), how does a SC monk Shattered Pillar sound? Stil thinking about replacement for Tekehu. My main reason not to take him is that I had him in my last playthrough. But he does fit perfectly in the SC party. But then again Eder is Multi so... Pallegina was a Herald in my previous game. I'd like to avoid doing the same thing again. Difficult choice. EDIT: I just read that Shattered Pillar was nerfed. Is this still a good subclass to choose?

I am currently finishing my run with the previous party , my MC was a Witch. I am finishing Forgotten Sanctum and all the DLC's are done. I am thinking about this party, but wanted to ask what MC would fill out this party? And are there some other companions I could replace Tekehu with?

thats quite a lot! thanks I will try you comp next time, its quite different from melee oriented, i should give it a try. Regarding MC , I am currently making a Trancendent and a Witch. - The trancendent (Soulblade/no sub monk) is a Moon godlike but i am not sure how to equip het regarding weapons, I chose Two handed weapons (Fextralife guide) but would prefer dual wielding something. - The Witch i am not sure about. I would like to make a Souldblade/Berserker but im worried about the confussion part , especially early game. Could I make a Soulblade/no sub barb? And what weapons would be great for dual wield and are available troughout the game? One handed swords? I Just started a few levels with the Witch, battle axe oriented. Seems fun but Eder already gold me multiple Times het is on my team. I was still on full ai. Gonna disable ai l, think that would solve it. Alsof gonna do a few levels with the transcendend tot see what its like

Ik was thinking about a dual wield build for my MC ? Nice to have one. Ik already have Eder do the shield and sword. Pallegrina do the two handen weapons. What would be good for dual wield? Witch OR trancendent? Both seem quote fun. I can use Both arbalest and arquebus with Maia? PS my playstyle is normale more melee based, i love melee characters, in Baldurs gate I usually play dual wielding characters. I want to get my party early, are there any consequenses for getting those party members early? In BG you could level up them early tot your wishes. @Boeroer I'll make sure ill try your fav comp in the nearby future, is Eder enough for engagement to keep others safe?

I like the Cypher multi with a martial class. So what would be good? Cypher/Paladin Great Swords? Cypher/Monk barehanded? Cypher/Barbarian not sure which weapons to use. Eder needs the Sabres with shields Pallegrina needs the two handen weapons? Any tips? Tekehu uses Wand Maia uses the arquebus.

Ok maybe I answer my own question but what about this party? Eder Swashbuckler (TANK) Pallegrina Herald Tekehu Druid Maia That only leaves my MC to be decided. What would fit here?

Hello All, After a few hours playing with a custom party I realized that I really love the have compagnions in my party and a custom party really takes away the fun of the game. So I am planning my next playthrough. I will first list the companions I would like to have in my party: - Eder (probably) Swashbuckler? - Maia (certainly) - Pallegrina (Maybe) Herald? - Tekehu (Centainly) Pure Druid? - Aloth (Maybe) Batle mage? Companions I dont want : Xoti, Serafen, Never had any sidekicks in my party. Based on this list could you Give some advice on who to take in my party to have nice party balance en what class I should make my MC? Edit : put Aloth on the maybe pile

Im sorry but you can disregard my question, I already invested some time in a game with these characters and must say i dont like it with a almost full custom party, I really mis the interuptions and quests you get from you compagnions. I will make a new topic for some advice for a full party and PC build

Do you think that the original builds from sin ter are stille viable??? I would like to try them. And are there some guides on these classes? I'll summarize: * Nature godlike druid/monk. Fury/Helwalker. Buildguide: fate testarossa?? * Death godlike Paladin/Cypher Bleakwalker/Soulblade. * Fire godlike Barbarisme/Chanter Bezerker/Skald. * Moon godlike Fighter/Paladin Devoted/Bleakwalker and which two compagnons would be good to add to this party? Thanks!!

Ps Is 2 melee focused enough? Pallegina and Mc. Maia gonna use rifles and Vatnir and Teheku mostly spells

That sounds great! I just have to keep Xoti till I can get Vatnir. One fight in particular is kinda hard.

Should it be a ranged dps, melee dps or extra healing?

OK I decided to run burn baby burn as my main. Still looking for some advice for my fifth member. Any advice to round out my party?? Can be a custom build.

I tried to search in this topic, but couldn't find it. So I'll ask here. I was wondering if the firedamage for this build is save for my companions? Is it a party save build? EDIT: PS is there replacement for the Devil of Caroc breastplate? I dont have it in my game

Hello all, I am planning my second playthrough of pillars deadfire. The first time I had the following party: MC fate Testarossa druid/monk Eder Serafen Xoti Aloth. My next playthrough I want to use other companions. Maybe an extra custom character. My question what kind of characters would supplement this team? Ps I would like to have burn baby burn as Mc but I am worried that it will do friendly fire??? Mc Teheku Maia Palagina Custom? Tank Palagina Dps Maia and Teheku Healing Teheku Builds: Palagina : sin tee youtube build paladin/fighter Maia : not sure yet, sin tee youtube build rogue ranger or pure ranger build. Teheku : sin tee youtube build disabler / summoner That leaves the Mc and a fifth spot for custom. Any tips?

Thank you for your answers!! I'm not looking to trick myself through the game. I am playing on normal so it shouldn't be necessary. I do have to get used to this game compared to part 1. The game is right from fixing your ship quite open. Which isn't a bad thing. But I don't want to do content way to difficult for my party at that time. In poe 1 you have more of a linear style of game. Also loading times are horrible. In a city where I enter a lot of buildings I spent more time in loading screens than actually playing the game. I now am in the big city with the queen.

I am sorry but I am completely new to poe2. What is the brilliant/SoT combo?

Well I just started a new game. Party is: In order of front to back Eder as a swashbuckler (can I use any swashbuckler guide?) Seferan as a Witch. Dual wielding axes or something like that. Using a YouTube witch build. MC Astetic The Testarossa build Xoti. Normal priest later on going for damage. Aloth normal wizard. Going damage and some debuff/cc. Does this sound any good?

I probably skipped the bounty but tried to a lot of quests also those of companions that stayed at caed nua. Also got to much time on my hands. Excited to play part 2

I will just go for a new game. Im still in the beginning,.

I think I am going for Aloth. I wanted to build Eder as swashbuckler. But in the beginning I selected Fighter. Can I still adjust this??
