@Boeroertalking about melee cipher, how would you build a witch?I don’t want a Soulblade, so I think that the better would be berserker/ascendant?

Did you looked at this guide? Is a berserker/evoker, but can solve some of your questions here. I particularly would raise Con up to 15 because the self damage can be a problem.

I agree about the good spells you miss, but what worries me in a solo run is the lack of sustain. I don’t know how can I survive like this

I had an idea of an Illusionist Stalker, using illusion spells (obvious) and the White Witch Mask. What would be the best option, Trickster, Wael or Illusionist?

Any suggestion of weapon I should aim?

I was playing a spiritualist, and he is fun, but I was inspired for the Necromancer idea and wanted to try a Loremaster. What do you think would be more fun in a solo run?

Looks interesting, but I will try the Bloodmage version. What chanter subclass would be better, troubadour, Beckoner or bellower? And What weapon should I aim, specially in the first levels? I will try specialize in poison and fire spells.

A Troubador/Bloodmage could be something like the Warlock from Warcraft: summons, DoTs and fire spells. Berath for me lacks something more offensive, only the class spells will worth it.

Played the digsite part with the seer (Beguiler/GH). I was used to play with a Stalker, but it’s more fun I don’t have to worry about the pet I am not sure it I can do higher levels areas with him, but I will play a bit more

Thanks for the suggestion but now I am in the cipher’s vibe I am trying a seer now, if it doesn’t work as I planned, I will return with the spiritualist.

The problem with this guy was that he was effective only against small packs of enemies. When I faced larger groups, the auto healing wasn’t enough, or if I missed my cipher debuffs. Anyway, how would a wizard/cipher performs? Or maybe a Ghost Heart and specializes in Echoes spells?

After all, I started a Steel Garrote/Beguiler. Have a good synergy, almost a perma heal, and the good defensive paladin buffs. This is the stats : 18 STR / 10 CON / 17 DEX / 21 PER / 17 INT / 7 RES. I choose high Dex for attack speed, what means more heals. One question, I started with Hammer and Shield (I like paladins with hammer ), later I will try leave out the shield. Is it better dual wield or go two handed EDIT: changed the shield for a dagger with modal. I need keep attacking to maintain the heals up. EDIT 2: tweaked the stats a bit 17 / 10 / 15 / 21 / 18 / 9 and started with dual daggers. If I need more defense I just turn the modal on and sworn enemy compensates the damage reduction EDIT 3: Too boring, felt asleep playing with him

Thanks guys, I will try them later

I don’t use mods, I play on Xbox. And the my problem with the witch is that I don’t know how to survive with a barbarian no defensive buffs, no health regen…

Played all week with this guy, it is really fun. But one thing that I didn’t liked is that I miss to go with more melee action, it’s almost like spam spells all the time. I want to try a melee beguiler now. Trickster and Tactician was my first choices, but I played too much with this classes. Now I want to go mainly with a barbarian, but I couldn’t build it properly. Another option was a Forbidden Fist, but I am confused with the stats. I need high INT for the duration of the cipher spells, but it will give me more time of the FF curse. Any ideas how to build this two characters?

Thanks for the replies guys. I can’t change Eyestrike because it is my lvl 1 choice. I am at tier 3 now, so I changed Whispers for Puppetmaster and took The Thunder with my tier 1 point. EDIT: I also picked Come Come Soft Winds as lvl 1 skill, is it worthy to take Ancient Memory now? Or is better if I invest in another summon? I am trying to make money to get the Singing Scimitar for now.

I am confuse about the chanter skills I must take. In the first tier, for example, I took Thrice Was She Wronged… but now I am thinking if The Thunder Rolled.. wouldn’t be a better option? And the chants, I am using only Come Come Soft Winds of the Dead, I have to take Ancient Memory on tier 3? Thanks for the replies

Hello guys. I was planning a psyblade, but when I was reading the post @dgray62 recommended, I saw that someone posted about a spiritualist, and I decided to give a try. I am with a Troubador/Beguiller. This is my stats (I don’t remember exactly, will check it later) (Using Berath blessing) 15/9/17/21/20/8 Skills until now: Troubador Thrice Come Come The summon dragons one Beguiller Eye Strike, Whispers, Psychovampiric Shield, Mental Binding, Lingering Echoes and Draining whip. I am using Arquebus and Gladiator Sword+Shield Finished the digsite and heading for Neketaka now. What would be the best gear I can get for now?

Sorry for being off topic, but I am interested in the tactician. What would be the best way to do a solo psyblade tactician? I guess you get brilliant from phantom foes, right? If so, would be better to go with what subclass for the cipher?

Yes, I was still half asleep when I posted that

Another thing that I can do in case of Pierce immune enemies, if playing a hunter, I can afford the -10acc penalty from the Berserker because the great accuracy bonus I get from the ranger side. Isn’t the way I planned for the build, but won’t hurt to do this sometimes

I think better and I don’t want to change the devoted. Played the same time with the Monk, and at least in early levels I prefered the brute. Now I will do one more test, Devoted/Sharpshooter. My idea with this one is to go with the Crossbow. Arbalests would be too slow? And about the problem that they only does pierce damage, will it be a problem later?

Thanks for the monk ideas. Now I am thinking, and if I change from Brute to Ravager? I will lose the bonus penetration from the warrior, but I can be more versatile and have access to the monks buffs?

If you wanna try with a ranger, I can suggest Stalker/Ancient. I find it is thematically good, focused on beasts and plants spells, and you can fire some arrows and summon the fire sword when comes into melee
