Does the PL bonus from the familiar stacks with other active bonuses like Potion of Ascension?

Mirke stats seem indeed better for tanking, its just difficult to imagine her holding a shield but brawler it is. As for Rekke his stats makes him look like a glass cannon, maybe a brute will be a bit too risky, i think i will make him a pure fighter.

Hi. I’ve just started my first POTD run and I have decided to go full murder hobo. I will replace all the companions with sidekicks when the time comes but I’m not sure how to replace Eder and Pallegina as tanks. The best ones seem to be Rekke and Mirke because of the fighter stances and engagement slots. So which one do you think it will be best, brawler Mirke or brawler Rekke?

I just finished a veteran run with this character and I loved it. This build is lots of fun all around and you can feel the power spikes through the entire game but especially when you start pooping skeletons automatically. I used most of the gear described here and it worked great, but I strongly recommend the Helm of the White Void for the headgear as soon as you can tackle the Beast of Winter because causing body and mind afflictions is what you will do most of the time. If I had to nitpick something is the chanter starter ability, I understand why it is there, but the skeletons fall off fast and I wish I could use those ability points somewhere else later in the game. And do we need Penetrating Visions since the only spell that makes use of it is Soul Shock? I also wished that I had an extra ability point just for the Eld Nary invocation, even with only 10 might that ability is 🍌🍌. May be on the next run I will try the Pindown Poet or something with a Monk, because rangers and monks are the classes I least use.

I had this issue with Frostseeker sometimes doing zero damage when enemies were immune to ice, not only zero damage from the lash but zero from the entire attack.

@Boeroer I usually don’t use any mods so I’m going to follow your advice and take out the talents that you found redundant or can be obtained by other methods as items and such. But now I almost don’t want any talent from the rogue side, but I still must take them on level up; so passives it is. I used to use arterial strike as an opener against melee opponents, but I dropped for some reason, I will give it another chance then. Penetrating visions I completely forgot that only work with damaging spells, I usually don’t take them because most cool ones target fortitude and the others that target other defenses are a bit meh. I also forgot that ciphers could buff allies so I’m taking Pain Block as you said. Slippery Mind I didn’t find useful since, maybe on occasion but if Ydwin is blooded or worse the combat is going bad. Do you recommend any ranged weapons? I used to use frostseeker but the weapon bug made me change to veilpiercer/essence interrupter.

Hi. I have been using Ydwing as a ranged mindstalker on veteran upscaled through the beast of winter and now the seeker, slayer survivor dlc but she feels a bit underwhelming. She feels an one trick pony, that's basically single target damage but even that doesn't feel very satisfying and when opponents are resistant to mental attacks it only auto attacks. This is the build that i have for her now at level 20: Penetrating visions Lingering echoes Drain whip Dirty fighting Phantom foes Blinding Strike Puppet master Confounding blind Hammering Thoughts Secret horrors Greater focus Two handed style Recall Agony Combat focus Borrowed instinct Deep wounds Rapid Casting Uncanny Luck Disintegration Improved critical The empty soul Far casting Ancestors memory Deathblows Bears Fortitude Is there a way to improve this?

The turn based public beta is now available on GoG if anyone is interested.

Will the beta be available on GoG?

I dont know if its related to the latest patch but i just got on GoG the KICKSTARTER BACKER achievement for some reason, but I am not one of them. Also i still have an epic locked achievement that wont unlock even after the latest patch.

Any chance of improving loading times between screens?

I personally didn't like the wiz/chan build, i think its too slow and only blooms really late. But i love the DoT builds with combusting wounds for sorcerer role play. If you need a guide try this one.

Is this patch coming to GoG? Why is Obsidian spending money on this after all this time, is because of Avowed?!

The best and worst improvement is the full voice acting, it really helped bring this world and its inhabitants to life. Its really good in some parts and terrible in others, lots of stiff delivers and voices reused for different characters that sound exactly the same. E.g. you can easily identify Woedicas voice in multiple chars with no effort to sound like a different person. I also hate how they wasted a lot of money voice acting stuff that could be simple animated and then complained about it. Having someone reading a bunch of sentences to describe a visual effect were the worst ones, like when you first connect to the pillar in port maje and the narrator read 3-4 paragraphs of worthless mystical mumbo jumbo, what a waste. I wouldn't say the worst but i also dislike the inspirations/afflictions naming, is strong better than energized or resolute, who knows? There are just too many keywords to remember, maybe for native English speakers this is trivial but not for me.

If Avowed is a success there is no reason for MS to spend resources in a POE3 instead of a Avowed2 if its not a success well the result is the same! I think the most probable way for a POE3 to exist is for Baldurs Gate 3 (aka DOS3 with DnD 😋) to be a success and microsoft see market value in crpgs.
