    SAWYERISM BETRAYED - Might turns back into Strength, Resolve will affect spell damage

    in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)

    Posted · Edited by Nail

    Why we don't have weight system?

    We have new noise system, that's cool, but why there is no weight, only item limit in inventory?

     

    So character with strength = 2 can fill up inventory with full plates... :)

     

    Strength and constitution could affect weight, some interesting interactions could be made and

    there will be a punish for dumping strength!

    Resolve! Huh, What is it good for?

    A damage dealing melee will max out Strength while a Spell nuker can dump strength and place those points in Constitution so that their Fortitude does not suffer. The Damage dealing nuker can then max Resolve.

    More food for wizard tanks  :facepalm: Is wizard gonna be the new god tier class in POE2? I call for nerf now before it gets ugly :)

     

    Well, in PoE I... Wizard is already in god tier :)

    The mechanics of Full Attack/Primary Attack are bad

    I remember in one of the videos (that came with a fig update) some barbarian was doing a Barbaric Blow with a single mace and hit three times in a row very quickly. Do you remember? At that point I thought "Neat! They are improving Full Attacks." - But either it was a bug or it didn't turn out well - no idea.

    Yeap I remember it.

    A barbarian with 2H was swinging his weapon twice during Full Attack from Barbaric Blow. But iirc there appeared only 1 overhead damage number, so I thought it's just a custom animation.

     

    I thought it was fighter Cleaving Stance or something like that...

    I just saw that a combo of Berserker/Streetfighter could combine a high number of engagement slots (shield use +1, Persistant Distraction +1, Barbaric Yell +3, spear +1) with the ability to distract ALL engaged enemies passively with Persistent Distraction... Does that mean auto-sneak-attack with carnage? :o

     

    I also realized that an Unbroken/Wizard could combine a lot of engagement slots (like, a LOT) with hefty disengagement-punishment. Alacrity would allow him to move freely and swiftly and "collect" all enemies in engagement. If they want to leave they get severly punished...

    I mean besides the crazy high defenses because of Unbroken + Wizard's self buffs.

     

    Does the wizard side bring anything of note other than Deleterious Alacrity of Motion ?

     

    Because if not, one might be better served using potions (or boots !) or speed...

     

    Illusionist is good, defensive wise.

    All buffs are almost instant.

    I really loved wizards in IWD, so I know how you feel. However, this ship has sailed long ago. Wizards in PoE are just not the little Gods that there D&D counterparts were. All in the name of this thing we call "balance", they've lost their summons and awesome defensive spells, and even their attacks are looking a little lackluster in the beta at the moment. 

    I think wizard is a god in PoE I...

    Rogue is in the same spot, but I like wizard a bit more.

    Nevertheless, all games before PoE I hated wizards and played only fighters :)

    And there was a rumor that a random squirrel drops a godly ring, so I couldn't get past any critter, never found one though!

     

    Was your squirrel in BG1 or BG2 ?

    Was it named "squirrel" ?

    'cause if it was, it's child's play to find the creature with NearInfinity, and confirm or debunk the rumour ;)

     

    BG 1 :)

    Just an ordinary squirrel, you know, running around forests....

     

    Aw, I recall BG 2 that moment you push that door on bridge with rogue stone...

    I remember times using co-op to duplicate skill tomes in BG one for BG 2 export  :biggrin:

    Duels were chaotic... Only good pvp I recall in "dungeons and dragons online".

     

    Those were the times...

    Can't understand why I don't see any indication when I use Empower, it's like nothing happened, only +1 to power source.

     

    Also I thought Wellspring of Life is a passive, just adding +2 to power level :)

     

    I evaluate myself as pretty experienced gamer, but overall it's not so clear for me, hopefully there will be some explanation and more friendly information tooltips for new players.
