Also another bug i find: Captain's banquet doeesnt give damage bonus to Tricksters spells. I don't know maybe this is intended.

Hey guys, first of all i use community patch and no other mods. I wanted to try single class trickster, old school dual wield sneaky chracter with some casting(oh boy gaze of the adragan + freezing rake combo very satisfying with the eye of wael+sun and moon power level boost). Anyways my vanishing strikes breaks invisibility after i hit, it shows vanishing strikes duration(8.7 in my build) but when i hit with auto strike or any ability my invisibility immediately breaks. I hope i could explain myself, can anyone test it if its happens to you too. Thanks in advance.

Willbreaker Souldblade/Trickster soo much fun. Very good defence and offence with casting. Modal gives -25 fortitude better accuracy for our disentegration.

In harder difficulties enduring dance is hard to keep up when you re in front lines.

I'm pretty sure crits will give you phrases even they deal no damage. You should try this weapon for instead of rust btw: https://pillarsofeternity2.wiki.fextralife.com/Kapana+Taga gives more accuray with every engaged enemy very useful and 2 damage type.

I m happy to see people posting with new builds in 2025!

Well i had a game where i use vanilla bashing shield with Souldblade/trickster using mostly soul annihilation for attacking. It was very fun but overall its very niche.

Well in vanilla only good bash shield is the monk one. To be honest i find the unmodded game is unplayable.

Hi, you can download shield bash fix from nexus mods, its not op shield gets normal weapon scaling(with low base damage).

Soul Blade/ Trickster, very fun gameplay and high damage potential with good defense. You should try it.

Ok, you guys are did it, i ll try priest/barbarian. Here we go 50th run...

Priest Barbarian maybe?

Yeah when you click to ability it shows that number, but when you check your character sheet in combat it should show the real number.

That s interesting. Tell us more.

Rogue multiclass has bigger SA numbers overall, yes. But Forbidden Fist/Soul Blade combo has more DPS overall imo.

Is there any easy way to change companions classes?

https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Llengrath's_Martial_Masteries This is the best one for the melee Wizards imo.

Another spell that nobody talks about is the Minoletta's Precisely Piercing Burst, crazy high penetration and damage. And its vs reflex which you can reduce to nothing, lots of crits.

Well i tried grave calling just to be sure and it works nicely, its very good because chill fog has low penetration crits help with that and also paralyze effect when you crit. Its also apply monk duality fire lash, lightning strike lash and cipher raw lash if you use community patch. Very satisfying build you can non stop cast cipher spells.

Twin Stones: Agent Smith from the Matrix.

One handed style also works with Grave calling's chilling grave chillfogs(omg too many chills in one sentence).

Wasn't that always the case, even in vanilla game?

Streetfighter/Bloodmage with the Red Hand, is like a machine gun. Use mohora wraps, cast DAoM and blood sac until you get below %50 health.

Mr Elric, what do you think about swift flurry/heartbeat drumming doesnt generating focus? Would that be too op?

A better idea could be 'top 10 most powerful builds'. Making a class tierlist with that many options is very hard. For example, single class wizard, single class monk, souldblade-forbidden fist, that lord of the imps build vs..
