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.

howler Konstanten is great

nope, but if you want to use Staff, then go with Staff devoted. https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/The_Spine_of_Thicket_Green avaliable at Neketaka shop basically after like 30 minutes of play

when you fist are replaced with shoot Mini Nukes from Fallout games.

the one and only https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Tuotilo's_Palm this bad madafaka get all the bonuses of your fists, also it gives you the bonuses of both Dual Wielding AND Shield Style, and on top of everything Balanced Shield mod is very op too.

there will be no PoE3. Awoved will be there instead

I soo want an IWD2 EE, real shame they lost the source

nah, I will be Berserker+Devoted with Amra, thats for sure. and either Island Aumaua with Deadfire Arch. background (its really a new perspective on the game, by FAR the best reaction from npcs and quests) or a Boreal Dwarf from White that Wends (for an Icewind Dales like dwarf)

the summon is not for the summoned mobs:

its odd, since Confused is an Intellect affliction while Unflinching is for DEX/CON/MIG, so it shouldn't do anything with it, right? thanks for the details, I think Abraham will be the perfect pet for this anyway. I think I'll go with some heavy armor, like Blackened Plate or Patinated Plate

Devoted sounds interesting, seems a pretty good offtank too, and maybe I can get on with mt Pallegina Herald (Troubadour) - I'm kinda bored with Edér present in all my parties as tank. for the Devoted what would be the stats to focus and what (if any) to dump?

anyone knows how to get these IF they are even in the game? https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Status_effects_(Deadfire)#Permanent_effects

For my next character after a caster I want to play a melee again, but still not sure, how to build it exactly. Island Aumaua Barbarian (propably Berserker)+something: Troubadour/Skald (question is, if I go with skald, can I still use other chanter invocations, or all should go to skeleton summon?) Amra seems a nice weapon for this 2, Aumaua can start 20 MIG + 5 from tenacious, so its basically always above 25. I like 2h axes anyway. Monk (Helwalker/Shattered Pillar/Forbidden Fist) : what weapon tho? or Dwarf Skald+Helwalker like Powerotti's Rumbling Boar: only that this build is really squishy, so I would need Edér+Pallegina to tank for me, and thats 3 melee, may be too much. dunno if it can be modified for pure monk or Shattered Pillar or even Forbidden Fist? weapons would be Sun and Moon + Tuotilo I guess and what would be a great team of npcs for these builds?

2 questions: why troubadour and not bellower beckoner? thats even more and weaker skeletons to kill how does Amra's Frenzy procs works with a Barbarian?

from these I played only an Assassin+Soul Blade Mindstalker. absolute beast damage and a fun class to play, I think my favourite character to play so far

Yeah, due to how spell learning/grimoires working in Deadfire I couldnt enjoy playing a non-BM wizard, even tho it was one of my favourite class in Poe1. It felt great to learn all spells in the game. Now I'm mostly using either https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Ninagauth's_Teachings for NG Shadowflame (my best carry spell in 1) or https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Iron-Clasped_Grimoire for CH Crushing Doom. (my second carry spell in 1), even tho I know that I should use the +1 cast / level

I dont like its skin, too bright

cool, cool. and what about Tuotilo in offhand? 20% crit on MH > that shield+the 2 style bonuses?

Why Sun & Moon tho? Isnt Stalker's Patience/Sasha's Signing Schimitar + Tuotilo's Palm better for this build?

yeah, ghost heart seems to be working just fine. maybe helwalker needs too much micromanagement - I wanted to manage the cipher-ascendant side, and while ghost heart may be weaker than hw, its much more automatic, so I can focus on the cipher side

I duhn whan it

I had duality, but biggest "issue" was that I always had that 1 and only wound I start the combat with, and never increased - as said, I played in party, and Edér and the gang had too much engagement, so I couldnt fully play for those might/int wound buffs
