This was a really helpful post, thanks for the write up. its exactly the information I was looking for, I'm looking forward to trying these builds out The trickster subclass does look great, thanks you replying! Looks like a really strong option, also from a dps contribution side
Recently finished PoE1 and am looking to start Deadfire. I've been playing around with the Battlemage Unbroken/Illusionist or Unbroken/Enchanter idea. I want to be a front line support/debuff/tank. Im open to other subclass combinations but really like the battlemage thematically. I also would like to play sword and board. Not trying to min max but what would my stat spread look like for a build like this and any recommended skills?
