Would you suggest making this a "support oriented" blood mage? As in, low MIG, low PER, max DEX / tankiness who's main goal is to cast buffs? Curious how you would recommend building that. Given the support nature, I imagine this is still best as a Waelite. I guess an alt is going BM/Skaen and just leaning into damage with a few support spells on the priest side. One thing I've been wondering about is whether I am best off with the 2x paladin frontline, or if I'd be better off with a tanky dps offtank. I hear a lot of people say around here they only need 1 tank per party, but my experience has been that my Crusader is the real tank, and the Herald is basically a tanky regen healer with summons and a few buffs. By the way the game (at least until megabosses) is easy enough even on potd I just enjoy learning / honing / perfecting compositions and builds so don't mind me.

Here's how my party is shaping up Seer, Crusader, Herald mentioned above + Ancient Druid (Godlike - Old Vaila) M15 C9 D15 P18 I18 R3 Wearing Deltro's cage and other PL / spell dmg boosting gear Been going back and forth on the priest. Feels like I'm leaving a lot on the table by going SC Priest of Wael, so thinking of multiclassing at this point, if the Symbol spells aren't going to make a huge difference. My main goal is for them to stay alive and buff, I don't really want to give up on max MIG / DEX / INT for them to have hit things. Should I just go SC Eothas?

I'm a bit more into the Ancient Druid, it just seems a bit more versatile. Since I have a wael priest, he's not solely focused on healing anyway, so it might help to have a bit more flexibility.

Does the extra pen from fury matter enough to warrant the loss of healing spells (given the comp shared above) I’m a Druid noob Also curious what the “right gear” is if you don’t mind sharing a build.

From the suggestions here, I'm going to try an SC Druid (Ancient, so he can cast heal spells), eventually with Effort when I get it. I'll also add in an SC Priest, been leaning towards Wael.

Thanks for the feedback. Bummer to hear about AA. Is that true even with the Community patch that adds pen scaling to imbue spells? I guess even so it's not the most efficient or meaningful subclass in the context of megabosses since I doubt the imbue spells will do a lot (except maybe Pull of Eora on Belranga). Also wondering if Hearth Orlan is the only way to go here. Seems like you can get a slightly better attribute spread as Elf, but at the expense of the 10% hit to crit. Chance to summon a fire blight (Belt of Magran's Chosen) that heals you (Rekvu's) and boosts your next attack's damage (Horns of Aurochs) absolutely recommended. SoT will make all megaboss attempts much much easier. add in Barring Death's Door for extra protection. heck, i've also found withdraw useful for my earlier attempts where i was a bit more shaky on tactics and strategy. doesn't have to be SC, but if you want an effective build, tier 8 symbol spells are an easy solution that you don't have to think about too hard. Any suggestions as to a particular Priest build? SC or otherwise? I was eyeing this Xoti build, but I'm curious as the power in lv8 and 9 Priest spells in a custom priest as well. Similar question here. I usually played with SC Druid Tekehu for his foe only spells, but would be fun to create something a bit more min/maxed. Related: do I need this much healing between: Herald, Priest, and Druid? And is that enough dmg?

Hi all, lurked here for years as I played through Pillars 1 & 2. I've had an itch to come back and do another playthrough with an MC Seer (open to alts but I love rangers and Frostseeker). I've never done a run where I've beaten all the megabosses, so that's my goal for this time: to build a party centered around a Seer that will fare well against megabosses and generally be as min-maxed as the game has to offer. Planning on using Berath's blessings (mythical adra + stats) Here's an early sketch (taken from other builds shared here / on the web, no claim that these are original!) I'm mainly looking on opportunities to min-max further and create synergy between characters, and find any specific gear that could help them succeed at their role. Crusader (Unbroken + Goldpact Knight): M14 C12 D10 P13 I11 R18 (Meadow folk human + Ixamitl Plains) Bardatto's Luxury + Apex Ward Herald (Troubadour + Kind Wayferer): M16 C7 D4 P18 I20 R14 (Moon Godlike + Ixamitl Plains) Sasha's Singing Scimitar + Shining Bulwark MC Seer (Arcane Archer OR Ghost Heart + Ascendant): M21 C5 D21 P22 I17 R6 (Hearth Orlan + Living Lands) I’ve toyed around with the Ghost heart version of this, but not Arcane Archer. Curious what could get better if I went that route: credit to Kaylon for this build, especially his Magran's belt / Horn of Aurochs / Rekvu's cloak combo, which I might try too! Frostseeker or Essence Interrupter / Saint Omaku / Veilpiercer / St. Aamiina Acina's Tricorn Charm of Bones Changeling's Mantle Ring of the Marksmen + Ring of Prosperity's Fortune Sash of Judgment Aegor's Swift Touch Boots of the Stone Ajamuut's Stalking Cloak Last 2 slots: I was thinking SC Priest for SoT and maybe SC Blood Wizard. What do folks recommend? Would love any/all feedback. Cheers!
