Using food, potions, enchanting, crafting - what's your strategy?
^ if you are referring to DAOM, it is possible after entering Act III; in Act II it might be feasible but also tedious (I find it tedious enough in Act III already.) In the Ethik Nol cave there's a merchant that sells 5 a day. If you solve Rinatto's quest in his favor, he'll be at the Celestial Sapling and sell, among other things, Skaenbone (3 a day if memory serves.) Opal is sold by shady nighttime merchant in Ondra's Gift, and the lady merchant in Dyrford who asks you to fetch a dragon egg for her.

AndreaColombo replied to Egorro's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Yeh, 3.02. Should be a juicy patch

Using food, potions, enchanting, crafting - what's your strategy?
I usually decide the builds and equipment for my full party before starting a play through, so I know exactly which gear to enchant and how beforehand. I generally stick to that plan and rarely do any enchantments beyond the planned ones. Food, I use Rauatai Sweet Pie and Pearlwood Chicken on everyone; Casità Casserole on casters and Paladins. Potions, I use DAOM all the time; Major Endurance if needed; Llengrath's Displaced Image occasionally.

"Glass Tsunami" - The Unbreakable Glass Cannon (preview fighter build)
I think they do, but I haven't really tested; I always go with Second Skin anyway.

WM II items
Doesn't everyone else in the bar become hostile if you kill them?

Nice item-ability combinations - what works and what doesn't
They don't stack anymore; it was changed in 3.0 I think.

Replaying PotD, an argument for custom attributes for NPCs
AndreaColombo replied to Odd Hermit's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The change to GM never really made any role playing sense; it was made back when PER was useless for casters to make her attribute spread less terrible. Companion attributes weren't changed when PER switched to Accuracy just like the rest of the game was not rebalanced around that. If Aloth could do CC earlier, he still can. Edér is pretty decent at DPS if built right, and can take quite a beating with his CON score. Companions aren't min maxed but they are perfectly viable on PotD (as people mentioned, talents and abilities are a lot more important than attributes in this game.) If you don't like them, why not hire mercenaries? Oh, and by the way: Durance isn't min maxed. No stats below 9 and his demeanor bespeaks RES in spades

"Glass Tsunami" - The Unbreakable Glass Cannon (preview fighter build)
So true! I though the same as I typed those lines. If there was a penalty for abusing the potion my characters would be suffering from it all the time except in combat, when they finally get their fix XD

"Glass Tsunami" - The Unbreakable Glass Cannon (preview fighter build)
^ potion of alacrity doesn't stack with Frenzy. Boeroer--true that. I always take potions of alacrity for granted as I do, in fact, quaff them all the time
-
"Glass Tsunami" - The Unbreakable Glass Cannon (preview fighter build)
+0.5 crit damage is currently bugged and does nothing (hopefully fixed in 3.02); that said, if you reach 0 recovery with both setups, then the sabers will have a higher DPS--but with Rimecutters you can reach 0 recovery wearing plate, which is pretty good. Depends on how much you value DR.

Barbarian not fighting
AndreaColombo replied to Egorro's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Yeah, I think trouble with these boots was reported during the 3.0 beta so hopefully 3.2 will fix it

Barbarian not fighting
AndreaColombo replied to Egorro's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Is your main character wearing Fenwalkers? It stopped happening to me when I removed them.

3.01 Weapon focus and Steadfast
The Unlabored Blade is a dagger; it is covered by the Weapon Focus talent that you have so it benefits from it (Steadfast benefits from WF: Knight.) Try it with a different one and you'll see it doesn't work. It's the same with Twin Sting, and possibly all new soulbound weapons.

My monk build
You don't have to be naked to reach 0 recovery; just stack attack speed bonuses. Use a durganized speed weapon with Swift Aim and Gauntlets of Swift Action (1.2 * 1.15 * 1.15 * 1.2 = -90% recovery before DEX if you want to stick to a crossbow.) If you dual-wield and both weapons are durganized (but only one of them has the speed enchant): 1.2 * 1.2 * 1.15 * 1.15 * 1.15 + 1.2 = -139% so you can wear a durganized plate and still have 0 recovery (or, if you want to use Vulnerable Attack, a durganized leather armor.)
-
3.01 Weapon focus and Steadfast
The Unlabored Blade and Twin Sting are also affected (you don't see it from your screenshot because dagger are covered by Weapon Focus: Noble); they are not set as being universal. The issue has already been reported and acknowledged, though; hopefully it will be fixed in 3.02.

[PX2 3.1] Bonus damage from Sundering Blow suppressed?
SAVED GAME: link OUTPUT LOG: link Screenshot: The screen is from the protagonist's ability. Suppressed by what exactly? It seems odd as Knock Down has a similar bonus to damage and doesn't read "Suppressed" in its description.

Elryn's Jacket Friendly Fire (NOT beneficial AOE bug)
AndreaColombo replied to lantzk's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)I think this has already been reported and acknowledged. Hopefully it will be fixed in 3.02.

[3.01] Suppress Afflection and Charm
AndreaColombo replied to theBalthazar's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)You can charm your men back, though (but I agree Suppress Affliction should work.)

Dragon Fights level req?
well, the Alpine Dragon is a 14th-level creature; could be done at 11th but it ought to be really challenging. Perhaps try again when you're level 14?
-
WM II items
Yup, Survival has a third tier, which makes the bonus from Sanguine Plate a boon. You can either make it Superb and stack DR like your life depended on it, or get +2 to an attribute 'cause you're gonna get +3 DR from Survival anyway

[3.01] Speed of Whisper of Treason
AndreaColombo replied to theBalthazar's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Ah. Sorry, didn't get that you were experiencing it as still Slow. Likely a bug, yes.

[3.01] Speed of Whisper of Treason
AndreaColombo replied to theBalthazar's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)It was changed to Fast on purpose in the second iteration of the 3.0 beta patch. All items that carry it were also changed to Fast.
