Never occurred to my fire godlike....

Yes, indeed, a +3 PER bonus often don't change a hit to a crit, but in the meantime a +18% AoE and +15% duration of buff and debuff can be important 👍🏻

Hi, I've only this version, but almost every SOLO build can work in party. I could say this build work better in a party than SOLO, because focusing only in fire damage can be "restrictive" in SOLO, and you can adapt him easily for a party with more "utility" or healing spells from druid... or you can use him as it is, that's to say a single target damage dealer when spiritshifted or AOE damage with druid's spells

Two different kind of class and two different way to play them. I think bloodmage is more powerful but troubadour is easier to play with and enough powerful too

Chanter. Can utterly rely on passives, phrases and invocations, that are not per rest. And invocations, in particularly summons and debuff, are very powerful. But I agree with @Boeroer, Druid in PoE1 can clean entire screen only with non-per-rest abilities, you have only to use them for big bosses (i.e. Dragons and so on). If you wanna see another powerful Druid build, I can point you to my fire based build: Have fun!

I agree with @Kvellen, Family Pride is the final quest about the issues between these two VTC families; if you resolve it before other troubles, the other quests end since there is no point they should be still "alive".

It would be my second guess 👍

It would be my second guess 👍

And what is the bug? The prizes for Family Pride quest are indeed the two weapons you mentioned...

What do you mean with "deflection breakpoint"? Or you mean defense since you wrote 4 scores, maybe DEF, REF, FOR, and WIL?

PoE1 with class system of 2 would be wonderful!

Streetfighter is better as off-tank rather than tank. Better option would be Devoted / Paladin.

With should be a real great build, also with spearcaster. With WotEP I played a shaman Priest of Berath / Corpse-Eater, self buff of Priest plus barb's buff and speed was nice, very good with lot of minions and you can use WotEP Run Through for single enemy. I think it can be a good weapon also with a Rogue/Ranger (with Hunter's Fang or Best's Claw)/Monk and Priest/Paladin for self-buff, defense and heal. Also an Arcane Knight could be powerful, wiz self buff with paladin defense, interesting... It's a shame, Wiz and Druid are funny classes to play

😄 I realized after some time 😄 Chipers, shorten Chips, are like Paladin and usually they go around as couple:

Pillars doesn't need 10 minutes pre-buffing phase... anyway, Paladin I think has the less need to be micromanaged.

Oh yes, indeed, you need to go to Defiance Bay to speak Engwithan... good for Sefyra 😄 Or you can kill everybody and turn yourself in a very very bad person 👍

And the worst of all: The Bear Cave! Yep, going to sewer can be done whole by stealth No battle needed. Yeah, with a lot of cheese on top. I've manage to clear (i.e. kill EVERY foe) all areas before Caed Nua PotD SOLO with a Paladin. With a Cipher it would have been even easier

I have never played turn based mode but i can say yes, normal difficulty with a full party is quite easy. Try veteran (and maybe scaled), but the real challenge is PotD + Scaled + SOLO (viable but very difficult with low playing experience) OR, if you wanna a full party, try PotD + scaled + some Magran's challenges.

Absolutely no! Keep going down until... well, you know until "what"... or "who" I'm meaning

It's ok, take in mind I play solo, so I almost always use Abraham or Epsilon and light armors, but in your case Reckless Brigandine/Heart Defender Scales + Nalvi are good 👍

Better way is stacking any effects (ability, scroll, potion, drug, item) with Strand of Favor or equivalent (SoT best of all).

No, for legendary ALWAYS use other "ingredients", special ingredients you can find quite easily. Adra ban should be used only for special "three" enchants (or, if at all, for some special scrolls); NEVER use adra ban for recipes you can do in alternative ways. You are "spoilering" my next SOLO build with DoCB, HotF and Willbreaker (a Trascendent) 😄 But, at the end I will gonna replace DoCB with the usual "Fleshmender" or eventually Gipon Prudensco for the first time 😄

What happened to me was Ikorno delete my headgear enchants at the end of the battle... and with Rekvu's Fractured Casque that was not really funny 😄

Well, she actually wasn't only waiting on that tower, she was "working" and "studying"

You can play baldur's gate, neverwinter nights and Icewind Dale series, Tirrany (also by Obsidian), Pathfinder. Points by Boeroer are fair, I say also: I like enchantments in PoE1 where you can enchant EVERYTHING (also a torch), there are always lash and race-slaying enchants, and NO choices (I hate choice above all when choice is "forced"; naval combat system sucks; fortress is way far better; rest and prostitute boons are better in PoE1; scrolls are better in PoE1 (you can charme - via confusion scroll - and paralyse foes easily); more great permament effect in PoE1 (ok you can have it through story but in Deadfire there is only one +1 attribute permanent effect in practice during the game); better weapons effect for proning and stunning foes; any class can win all the game and the boss without cheese; some affliction are useless, confusion was nerfed in a ridicolous way; no balanced 3 layer inspiration: classes with brilliant are better than others. So, I agree with you more or less, but I enjoy Deadfire the same. Anyway, you can look also in Steam for mods giving Deadfire more PoE1 "feeling".
