[Soloing with a Priest]

I know my first idea was a priest, but @Raven Darkholmegave me something to think about, and now I am planning a Tactician/Fury. 
 

Would be the same idea, to use sunbeam to get brilliant inspiration.

Thanks for the suggestions. I never considered Tactician before, but looks good. 
 

I don’t know how noob-friendlie will be, but and about I use chanter as second class? For what I saw, would be a good Berath-ish, with the summons and all.

If you're looking for a Melee Priest, both Berath and Wael can be great options. Multiclassing with Fighter or Monk would give you strong synergies and stellar Melee power, I would probably go more with Fighter for survivability in Solo (especially if doing Berath as Wael has more defensive spells built in). But a Monk gives very strong active and passive abilities/bonuses that complement spellcasting very well too.

I think from an RP POV, Berath/Fighter can give you a strong Death Knight type of feel. There was a nice thread below about it, and it's been discussed in other threads if you're willing to search the forum. I think the suggestion to use Morning Star as primary weapon + the summoned Berath weapon could work really well. Or stick to 2H swords, there is a nice one that you can forge early and that looks and feels quite Berath-y.

You will keep cheese to a relative minimum that way. There are indeed lots of more or less legitimate ways to break the game in Deadfire . One of the strongest cheese you can use as a priest is Barring Death Door paired with things that prolong effects (Wizard's Wall of Draining, Salvation of Time). This particular thing is not an exploit or a bug, just some nice cheese.

Final thoughts:

For Fighter, you may go no-subclass or maybe Unbroken. Devoted is very good and appealing, but very restrictive for a first playthrough. For Monk I could see Forbidden Fist, Nalpazca, of course Helwalker is super strong but also very squishy (maybe then Helwalker-Wael).

with a Priest/Fighter or Priest/Monk you will Solo Veteran very well, if you aren't very familiar with the game mechanics maybe Upscaled will be a bit too punishing for a first playthrough, especially because Deadfire's difficulty is very front-loaded (i.e. the first island). Being a new player who wants to Solo, I would personally start on Normal and increase the difficulty as I go when I feel confident and too strong for Normal.

You will solo all the critical path and the vast majority of the optional content, but if you want to have the potential tools to do absolutely every optional fight that the game has to throw at you while Soloing, Priest/Bloodmage would be stronger (one of the strongest power playing combo that people use to beat The Ultimate).

Just my 2 cents. Have fun!

Thanks

Let me ask you another thing, I saw some posts in reddit about the skaen/BM, but I cant imagine how does it play.

Welcome!

Multiclass is probably the way to go and if built properly, will obliterate the game Solo. Strongest option being either a Priest of Skaen or Wael MC with a Bloodmage... But:

What Priest subclass/god do you roll/RP?

Do you have particular preferences on play style (spellcasting/melee/ranged weapons)?

I know it's hard to define for a new player but you brought it up  so what do you mean by cheese here?

For what I see, I liked Berath and Wael. 

What I have in mind is more a melee Priest. I like ranged weapons but I dont think they combine with the char. Spells could be ok too, if they look like “divine powers”

 

by cheese I saw in some other topics people talking about exploit some aspects of the game, or its what I understood

Hello guys, I am new here. And for my first run I’m planning to do a solo run.

My first option is to go with a Priest, its my favorite class. Is it possible to do without need some cheese tactics, or rely in much itens?

Another question, should I go single or multiclass? If multi, what do you suggest?

I dont plan to play in PotD, I will do Veteran Upscaled.

 

Thanks for your attenttion
