rebelio

OK, i'll test it right away! Thanks again @Boeroer

Im not even gonna ask how theses Tigers got into Port Mage @Boeroer Thanks once again for the in-deph explanation and also the image showing off the build, it does look alot like what i wanted, really loved the idea and also using Whispers of Endless Path, last time i used whispers of yenwood, now i'll definitly go with this one! I guess trickster seems really, really fun and since i'll have my self and Eder as front liners, i dont think i'll have to go full on tankiness, prolly i'll use Xoti as healer and Aloth as my CC and Maia as my Ranged Damage dealer. Lastly i've got one question i'll go full on RES and PER, i'll neglet a bit DEX since i'll be mostly doing damage trough riposte, soo my dex will be mainly for casting spells or debuffs, any idea of wich 3rd attribute should i focus? Maybe intelect for more duration/aoe or STR for dmg/healing?

Hello! Im about to finish my first playtrough in this game in HARD difficulty, i did a Single Weapon Pistol build, that went really good! Im now finishing the "world bosses". My first plan was to make a POTD build, but once i playied POTD and left Neketaka, i started getting 1 shot alot by enemies wizards or rogues who jumped trough and killed me, basically i playied more my eder and my pallegina than my main character. Soo i went, back to hard difficulty and decided to learn more about items and the game it self. Soo i'll prolly end my actuall campaign and bosses soon i think. Soo i once again come ask for help with an idea that i had once i've started to research for nice combos for survivability/being active in party and also doing some sort of dmg (dont need to be top dmg at all). I decided that Steel Garrote seems fun specially for the role play as a more rational Watcher, what will be fun to see the consequences of my dialogue options. Heres my idea, i'll play human or godlike (i really love godlikes but to find a portrait that i've like, been wandering on PINTEREST for hours now). Garrote will give me the sustain and since it is a paladin i'll get all the tankyness that i can wish for since even my pallegina on my first playtrough on POTD using a two handed sword could tank like the godess she is! And now after going trough reddit and some forums i saw that Rogue Trickster its a really nice combo, but some people also told me that Chanter Debuff Chants also help alot to maintain every enemy aways debuffed + paralize + fear, Cipher i saw the subclass Beguiller (alot of deception/debuff/control) and Soul Blade (alot of burst/decent CC/debuffs), soo im kinda in between all of theses choices, i tried turn based, but soo far i've decided to go with real time mode and this one will definitly be POTD untill the end with upscalling only upwards (i want to challenge my self). A shield user or Dual Wield character, i dont really mind using a shield for exceptional defences or a dagger with some proc ability in off hand with the modal on or a weapon like Kapana Taga for imunity to be flanked . Soo heres what i tought atm. Garrote/Beguiller - i'll be in the frontline with auras/engaging enemies (paladin will be mostly for defence)/controlling enemies all the way to the backline since i'll get more range. Garrote/Soul Blade - i'll be in the frontline using paladin for defense but in this case also alot of debuffing with Inspiration Beacon and shared flames to help a bit with damage/Soul blade will be my single target and also decent CC (this version its more focused in being a tanky/burst frontline when needed not soo much Controlling). Garrote/Trickster - I believe that in this one i'll focus paladin on defenses and auras, since the trickster will provide me a decent damage + debuff spells like Repulsive Ryngrim, Confusion and Arkemyr and in late game Adragan. Garrote/Troublador - this one confuses me alot, not sure about how to go trough with it. Again, this is my first take on being a frontline, i got no experience in this game as one, but i got a decent amount of time playing with Pallegina/Eder/Aloth as frontliners each one with theyr own customization and speciality, thanks for reading this far! Note: In my poe 1 import save i got Thaos Helm (someone told me to mention this since it is a beast of a helm with that aura, and playing as a debuff main i'll get alot of damage with this build i think).

thanks! I see, i'll look into it!

Does anyone know if this build is still viable? I'm asking because it says game version 1.2, Thanks!

@BoeroerSWF is single weapon fightning (from another game i play the feat has a different name) I see thats a nice idea on my Edéri i might actually do that, since he will be an off-tank/bruiser, i dont think he really needs a shield, i'll try it as soon as i can put my hands in one of thoses weapons with thoses on hit, on crit or on kill status. Thanks!

BTW i forgot to mention English its not my native language, soo if i type something weird or out of context please do let me know i'll fix right away! Oh thanks for the headsup @Jayd and @Boeroer, i've been rolling with the build and its feeling great, i really like the Single Weapon mechanic, as for my pet i've taken the boar (just because i enjoy it), soo far the game been great, i'll start pumping Eder mechanics right away or i'll just re-roll havent finished Port Maje yet, soo i'll loose about 1 hour of gameplay, but i'll surelly go for the scordeos trophy and im also considering making Eder or Seraphen a SwF with a single melee weapon, not sure yet, but i'll figure out soon i guess, Thanks again everyone for the tips and hints, also if u guys have any ideas on how to build my SwF companion or sidekick as a melee SwF please do let me know, thanks again! Edit Note: Im really a newb at this game, i've only done Fort Dyinglight (i hope this is the name, i just enjoying killing Benwet as soon as possible), im unaware of itens and such hints, but i've just searched at the wiki for the ring and tricorn u recommended i'll make sure to keep thoses in my mind) Again any hints are really welcome and i'm really gratefull for all the hints and tips on how to build my character, trully helping alot! Im usually a normal/hard player, never actually tried POTD outside Pillars of Eternity series, i managed to finish the first one barely but it toke me 100+ hours to finish and alot of tries). Thanks again ! Edit: @dgray62 that joke was not intended but it surelly looks funny now hahaha

I'll give it a shot thanks again Boeroer!

First of all thank you very much for the time u took to answer me, the beguiler/debonaire its more of a controller right? (Never playied any of Thoses subclass), i think that my playstyle would fit something Around that, the ranger u algo recommended we are talking about arcane archer? Wizard i think i got um ideal, not Gonna lie, got me tempted as well... I'll look for the pen weapon pistol as u said, troublador + ranger seems fun as well, With that party composition i've listed above wich class combo u would make in your main character? Aloth wizard tank Eder swashblucker browser Xoti priest healer/nuker Teheku crowd controller/summoner. Thanks again Boeroer!!

Yes, sorry about the lack of information, i am playing on POTD, using beraths blessing, no trial of iron or expert mode, upscaling only upwards for the crucial path only, about the character the thing that after after lvl8 his damage its feeling cluncky, my first idea was to make him able to use buffs soo he can get his damage near or at least close to a focused pure damage dealer, like my Maia and be able to provide with some assistance for the team with control spells/buffs, i've tested without the use of any uniques of upgraded weapons and in general with the pistols or the casting, since im Single weapon fighting i dont have any off hands with increase power level, i dont really mind about being squishy. I'd really apretiate any insight of information about how i should build a single pistol character. My ideal party comp would be: Eder (swashblucker)off-tank/melee damage dealer (with magram favor, or something around shields that counts as dual wield) Aloth (pure wizard) tank. Xoti (Pure cleric) healer/damage dealer with endgame spells. Teheku (chanter/druid) support, crowd control. and then it would be ME (ranged damage dealer), still unsure about wich class to pick or races, any advice would be welcome, i really wanna build a Single Pistol Main character, but i got no idea where to start, been considering, devoted to compensate for pistol modal + chanter/ranger/cypher for more reload speed/damage or wizard/druid/priest for more utility)

Hey all, Been going in and out of the game for a while now due to not enjoying to the full extent any of my characters but one wich at lvl12 had become much weaker than all others. My idea was to make a Single Weapon Pistol (recently been consindering blunderbuss), i've taken Devoted for bonuses with pistol modal and my second class was Blood Mage for buffs, since i had alot of action speed, i decided to make the best of it. Toke human, focused stats was Perception/Intelect for accuracy and bonuses to buff duration/AoE Spells. It was trully versatile during early game and did went like an beast, but recently has been trully bad one, any advices on how to build? I really love the idea of single weapon a pistol with that amazing speed.
