Hello,so i just finished POE1 and i'll be starting POE2 in the near future,but i'm really not sure how i want to build my Cipher MC.
In POE1,i mostly used Mental Binding,Puppet Master(def my favourite),Silent Scream,Body Attunement,Amplified Wave and Disentigration.I also used him alongside Greaving Mother in a dual cipher line up to basically get most enemies on our side and it was a lot of fun,but my favourite thing was that he was a jack of all trades,he could do great damage as well.I mostly used blunderbuss and stormcaller bow.
Now,from what i've seen from POE2,there's a lot of options with playing singleclass/multiclass,but i'm not sure how to build him again in the sense of being pretty good at both DPS/CC.I feel like Ascendant would be a bit annoying with having to aim to get to max focus,i've seen a Beguiler/Trickster build that seems interesting,but to me it kinda goes way too much into specialisation as CC.
Soul Blade seems intersting as a melee option,though i would prefer to keep my cipher ranged,but i'm not totally oposed to a melee build(in WM1 i took that 2 handed sword where you couldn't swap to other weapons until you solved the 3 riddles so i played like 15 hours with it).
Is a jack of all trades/master of none cipher just a basic one without a subclass?Please let me know.
