Thank you so much.

It's already been years since the game released, would people who pre-ordered still against it?

Still good work, I appreciate you testing this.

Every single modal in the game cannot stack, right?

Are there any other abilities/passives of Barbarian/Devoted that I should lookout for les they suppress one another?

How do soulbound items work with multiclass? Can a Brute choose between Fighter enchantment and Barbarian enchantment?

What would happen when you use a weapon with lashing against an enemy than is immuned to the main damage type? Let's say I attack an enemy that has slash immunity with St. Drogga's Skull, how will the "+20% Damage as Burn " works? BTW is this still hold true?

If going for dual wield, would clubs be a good choice? +5 ACC seems neat. Damage seems low but I guest low recovery time should compensate enough. Generally speaking(not having to consider Devoted), should one typically dual wield the same type of weapons? I imagine dual wielding weapons with different damage types would be good against immuned enemies?

BTW how do crit chance conversions stack? So Berserker's Frenzy(30%) + Disciplined Strikes(25%) + Barbaric Blow(30%) means 85% hit to crit conversion? What if Death Godlike were add into the mix?

So even with +2 PEN from being Devoted Greatsword still won't be able to overcome late game enemies' armor? Quite a bummer since Barbarian has good crit multiplier, having high base damage would rocks. Could building towards high crit chace to get extra 50% PEN be a viable way to alleviate Greatsword's low PEN problem?

I have problem mainly about stat's allocation and the choice of weapon. How many INT should I aim for? Is greatsword a good choice? Is this one still hold true?

Is there a way to make Monk's Fist enjoyed the ACC bonus from 1 handed weapon style?

FF also gain a wound when Barb's Frenzy expired right? Is it a good Idea to pair FF with Barb? Any other class that can also cast hostile effect on oneself early on? If a Corpse Eater/FF eat a corpse will he gain 3 types of resources, Rages, mortifications & wounds?

What race, stats, abilities, second class, Items to pick? Or is this subclass worth choosing in the first place? If there are many builds/playstyles, a good from the early game-melee-dps one is preferred.

If I play a Wood Elf Barb and have Unflinching. Will the Dex resistance stack? Paralyzed and Petrified will become just Hobbled?

I tried Streetfighter/Barbarian and wasn't impressed. His acc is abysmally low. blunderbus -10, distract -5 and he can't have perception inspiration because it will cancel out distract. I'm still at the beginning of the game though. But I can't say I'm keen to continue with him.

Are Hand mortar's and Frostseeker's AoE mechanic similar, aside from Frostseeker needing to crit? If some skills work with Frostseeker They will also work with Hand Mortar and vice versa right?

Wouldn't recovery time be the same whether I dual with another gun or a melee? Was it to utilize full attack? I presume INT would be very important to this build, more than might?

Thank you. I'll look into that. I don't like guns much because I'm afraid to run into piece immune enemy. But it seems like Hand Mortar deals the best of 2 types of damage. Should be suitable for me. Should I go for single weapon style with this, or should I find something to dual with it? p.s. will I get dual wield penalty If I dual hand mortar with a melee weapon?

I tried a devoted/assassin. The damage from assassination that crit is kind of bonkers.

I was thinking about dual weiding scepters. Testing an assassin/bleakwalker and found out that full attack doesn't work with assassination, witch I was quite expected. I wasn't expecting this though. Has it always been like this?

On another note, Is this build really as good as they claimed. https://brightrockmedia.com/2020/02/20/poe2-best-monk-build-pillars-of-eternity-2/

I'm kind of reluctant to use monk because I have a feeling they got nerf a lot. If I remember correctly they began battle with more wounds and nature godlike provided more PL in the old days. There might be even more nerf I'm unaware of.

Would the choice be different if heavier emphasis is put on the early game? Also, how well would a Devoted/Bleakwalker perform?

Thank you. I'll look into it.
