at least I dont have to worry what weapon type to use the whole game I wanted to do a swashbuckler sabre devoted, but not this time.

can you use bashing shields on devoted? like https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Magran%27s_Blessing or https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/The_Best_Defense

I'm looking to replay Deadfire with a coastal aumaua tanky-melee, what would you choose? Marauder, Crusader, Swashbuckler, I think some combination of barb-fighter-rogue-pala, maybe monk has some good synergy as well, but not sure. Fury shaper, Streetfighter, Unbroken or Devoted, Goldpact knight would by my choices. Want to use either sword+board, propably with a bashing shield, maybe a 2h like Whispers?

btw since it will be a monk multi, I'll have https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Instruments_of_Pain ,maybe some melee weapons to use instead of blunderboss after this ?

this one is tricky, I have to make Principi to -3, but they are like the nicest guys (and Aeldys is the only against slavery, which my wild orlan is ) is there any trick for this and still complete Principi?

Always helping and reliable, thank you Are there any items you think would work very good or have some interesting synergy? (for example weapon slot, for Psion its much less important, but for Beguiler it is for focus gen) And as Nalpazca, its Alchemy, what other skill have some bonus? (apart from History cloak)

Long time no see; it was years ago since I last played PoE+Deadfire, but now I'm back. I'm just starting with Pillars 1, so have quite some time for this, but I want to be a caster cipher in Deadfire, thought my best choice would be Transcendent with Beguiler and Nalpazca (or in case you think its much better can switch them for Ascendant and/or Helwalker). Since its mostly a CC build, I thought MIG/CON/RES could be lower, and focus more on INT/PER and some DEX, am I right here? Race will be wild orlan. Note: I read that Troubadour is propably better, maybe even Troubadour + Psion combo, but I played more than enough Chanter already, and want something else now.

meh, tried all (melee) options, but not felt the connection, left all somewhere between 6-12 thinking about either of these: swashbuckler (sabre devoted/streetfighter) harbringer (trickster/skald) first one is more tanky, second is cc. both would be either human or wood elf, fast, blade dual wielder. Sintee did a very nice video for swashy, but I cannot find such a detailed guide for harbringer. 😕

yes, it is. my last char was a troubadour/debonaire with dual pistols, and this weapon is awesome with its modal. tried all pistols, and for me this+Scordeo were the top together

Looking for some interesting idea for these builds, synergies with each other and weapons/gear, any tips? Skald+Barbarian (dunno about subclass yet, either pure or berserker) Skald+Shattered Pillar (10 wounds mod) Shattered Pillar+Barbarian And its gonna be a dwarf of course.

https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Ninagauth's_Shadowflame_(Deadfire) this is my favourite spell since Poe1, solo carried me at Llengrath once my team died. I even installed a mod that lets me learn grimoire unique spells once I equipped the grimoire at least once in a playthrough

Kalakoth+Wall of Many Colors are both insane spells, then theres Wilwing Wind+Meteor Shower+Minoletta Missile Salvo. and worth mentioning Petrification for low <25% health perma petrify.

454 hours, more than 10 full playthrough with all DLCs, and I totally missed this info 😄

because I finished a troubadour yesterday

Grimoire is my go to choice for wizard always, but why Empower? I think I'm missing something here that I never realized. is there an item that recovers lost spell slots after empower?
