It stacks with Dire Blessing, though, so if you have a Priest handy you can still get 40% on both weapons.

Yeah, the helm is for the looks; you'll get more mileage out of other headgear Been playing with a cipher in my party recently and I'm loving the new 5th-level power (Going Between, if memory serves.) Alongside Durgan steel, Dozen's Luck, and Critical Defense it gets you 74% crit-to-hit conversion.

^ durgan had +20% conversion, last I checked.

Well, since Braven's done some shameless self-advertising, I'll throw my care away and indulge in self-promotion too Check out my Lady of Pain build--now in three juicy variants--here on this forum (should be on page 2-3 or thereabouts.)

I wouldn't want a higher cap, but I'd definitely like to have increased difficulty for completionist runs. Hitting the cap right before the game ends would be rather dissatisfying for me. After working long and hard for that power, only one fight would be left to enjoy it.

Frankly, I like the fact that I can hit the cap and still have some content left to enjoy my power. If I only hit the cap before the final fight, the game would basically be over before the real fun began. That said, I like to be challenged when I'm maxed out and the main issue I have with PoE is that difficulty remains low as you progress (but I'll reserve judgment on Act III's scaling until I go through it.)

^ In a similar vein, I was hoping you could ask the dragon huntress for help against the other dragons if you warned her and fought the adra dragon instead. Would have been a nice touch of reactivity.

Because it's bugged. The good news is QA wrote up a bug report for it, so hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Haven't gotten there yet, but at level 16 I expect most of Act III to be a breeze even with scaling (scaling ups the challenge level by 33%) If it turns out to be too easy, I think you can "de-level" yourself via console and re-gain those levels by solving Act III quests while having more challenge.

The extra "as" should be removed. Screenshot Missing space before the second hyphen in the aside. Screenshot "Enemies melee enemies" should be "melee enemies." Screenshot

When Azzuro showed up at the stronghold to discuss his dilemma, he addressed my female protagonist as "Lord." I didn't keep a saved game but I suppose a screenshot will suffice for this minor issue

Why? Hiravias can be made to dish out quite a bit of damage when spiritshifted.

^ Depends on the context. If it's in answer to a remark on her pregnancy, it makes sense.

Where exactly? I only saw workers in there

Lies. Heresy. Sparta!

Looks like binding rope + lavender crown will have to wait until this fix: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/84876-lavender-wreath-binding-rope-interaction/?do=findComment&comment=1782308

There's a merchant in Durgan's Battery? :-O

In my play through the fampyr dude with Argwes Adra was wearing the relevant helmet. I haven't killed him yet but if you can loot the helmet with the armor, then clearly it wasn't meant to also be sold in Stalwart. From rich it would ensue that the White Crest helmet should be instead. I'll report this when I'm home and see what they say in QA.

Has anyone found the helmet for The White Crest armor? It's the only one you can't buy in Stalwart.

^ you mean to say you actually run parties with no Priest? Mind = blown

I've had that happen to me as well with an exceptional estoc, but couldn't find a way to repro reliably--which means it's going to be extremely hard (if not impossible) for Obs to see what the issue is

You mean the Hand & Key breastplate, or the Leaden Key robes?

^ why sabres and not Rimecutters?

So groovy it's almost Gruyere.

Was your character Paralyzed, by chance? In my current play through I noticed Edér sometimes gets perma-paralyzed (when the Paralysis effect ends, he still has the "Paralyzed" icon next to his portrait; he can move around but won't perform any other action.)
