Ocelot

For my run I use Eder and Pallegina as the two primary frontliners, with Eder being exclusively for tanking and engaging with as many enemies as possible. All other characters are in the rear or the side of the formation. One is a rogue (protagonist), the rest are spellcasters and archers. So far having 2 frontliners seems to be working. I'd say swap Kana with Sagani to gain an additional ranged character and see how this plays out (although Kana is very strong from my experience).

I think I'm just gonna do that. Hiravias is basically permanently benched in this run. Thanks for the help.

Thanks.

How can I make Obsidian games I've bought on Steam show up as part of my profile? Is there an option to connect them? Apologies if this is a common question, but I don't see an option to do so anywhere Thank you in advance.

Second time playing PoE, this time with a morally ambiguous rogue. And apparently if you are cruel enough, the pool of blood offers you a permanent (but small) buff if you sacrifice a party member. My character isn't comically evil but will do evil things to succeed. And since the game has a plethora of companions, sacrificing one I don't need seems like a no-brainer. Not to mention that I can always buy a merc. At the same time, I'm playing as a rogue, which means that my class doesn't overlap with any one of my companions (none of them are a rogue). This option if driving me nuts. Should I sacrifice a party member I know I won't be using much for a stat boost? I'm considering Hiravias for the DEX buff. Should I just ignore the blood pool until I do all companion side-quests and return towards the end game to sacrifice one? Is it just not worth it? What did you do in this situation? For this playthrough I'm playing in Normal difficulty so it's not like I have a hard time completing quests, the quests have been very easy so far. But it's really tempting to boost my character at the same time.
