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?

all of those spells are great and I normally use these on wizards. how would you solve the Brilliant buff for this?

troubadour was not mentioned by me at all.

I wanted to avoid opening a totally new topic for this, cause my question is somewhat similar. thing is, I like the MCs, and not so much the SCs, but here's one thing I'm stuck with: wizard. once I had an Evoker SC, but was boring after quite some times, Evoker bonus seems nice, but the procs was quite rare, and most of the times when it procced I just slaughtered my melee dps. also losing transmutation as a whole hurts. then I found someone's build for Illusionist, modified Fassina in my previous run, and tbh there are way too many Illusion spells that can do great damage, and tbh the only thing I missed on this character was Wall of Draining - which is not an issue in a group. so the problem: I would really like to do an Illusionist+Psion, but the most used spells were Kalakoth Rake, Wilthing Wind, Meteor Shower, Missile Salvo, and even used Arcane Cleanse and Petrification several times- these are all lost for MC. so if I go with this MC, I still "need" another pure wizard. and if I play wizard, I need another cipher too for Ancestor's Memory. so while RP wise this build sounds interesting, gameplay wise its terrible, cause I need to bring 1-1 of the same classes with me all the time, a tank, and voila, thats 1 spot for a pure dps and support together. I have other ideas as well (Thundercat by NotSoCleverHound) or a Fury+Evoker glasscannon. I only know I wanna play caster dps/cc, but meh, its not easy.

the end. time for the next char ^^

in this case I would create a Devoted fighter+either pure barb or Berserker barb. (berserker is higher risk, higher reward, and it needs you to use the Devil of Caroc breastplate for the intellect affliction resistance)

trou+debo gunsinger sounds the best! so he will be like this:

how would you build these 3 Debonaire-Trickster-SF? which stats for each to focus on? any "must have" gear?

I wanna play the classic scoundrel-minstrel Bard, one subclass is Troubadour, and the other one depends. I tought of using dual blunderbusses and going for Streetfighter, but what else would work?

I did this, Barbarian+Devoted with Amra, IA+Deadfire background

I dont feel safe without 2 honestly. and also too much caster means too much micromanagement. at least melees can be 90% automatized

with Unity Console, you can add and remove weapon profs

I normally do main quest of Neketaka->Hasongo asap, then Ashen Maw a few years later, then just focus on all sidequest, exploration, and DLC. finish last quest at the very end

I vote for Amra

the Unity Console works just fine with the current version. I also does this every time, basically keep the base classes/combinations, just different SCs - like Edér still swashbuckler, but unbroken+streetfighter for example

I found it kinda average until like 12-13, when it started to become a powerhouse, then another power jump at 15-16, and ofc reaching the final potential at 19. until 12 I had a melee dps in the group, but at 13 he was started to slain party members, so I replaced all melee and sent away Maia (Ishiza was just consantly dead), and after that I had only Pallegina as Crusader (modified to Shieldbearer+Unbroken tho) in melee with me. she survived all, but no one else were able to.

and for Ishiza. poor poor Ishiza. btw I finished the game with this Amra devoted brute. insane damage. I think in overall damage this beat my previous dps champion, the assassin/soulblade.
