Did you get the stealth rest at copperlane beforehand? Should give 12 stealth and Aru Brekr gives +1 speed. I am about to try this in my playthrough next time I get a chance to play.

I am still in testing mode on PoTD but my impression so far is that a stealth focus is still viable but you will need at least 12 stealth plus a speed boost to get by the most critical areas using items, food and/or rest bonuses. My main concerns are that it is an extreme glass cannon build when min/maxed like this (18-3-18-3-18-18) - the Con penalty is -35% and Acc penalty is -7. The aim of the build is crit damage and AoE/DoT as well as conditions but you need to hit to apply them and you miss a lot with that penalty (at least in the early/mid game). My current attribute spread is 18-3-16-8-15-18 which corrects most of the Acc deficiency at the cost of a little AoE/Duration and action speed. Still feels very fragile and I might want to sacrifice a point or two of Might damage for a bit more Con and survivability. I love the concept of a sneaky rogue that bypasses all unnecessary fights and still prevails but you do have to fight sometimes and summons can only do so much to help - you still have to be able to do enough damage to finish them off and be able to survive the inevitable hits. That said, I am really enjoying the character and this approach to the game.

I went back to Gilded Vale and re-rolled my character with more Per and Con and a bit less Int and Dex. This means a bit less action speed and AoE/duration but only -2 Accuracy penalty and the same endurance (Con gives 5% penalty per point now instead of 3%). Passed Maerwald with some spidery help and currently doing Defiance Bay. Stealth working well but Mecanics seem to have changed a bit and you need the rest bonus to Mechanics from the inn to loot the catacombs and disarm some of the traps now. There do seem to have been a few updates to areas and patrolling enemies since the video as well which complicate things. In view of this I am doing a PoTD Solo run rather than trying for TCS straight off so I can survive any surprises without having to redo everything. I wonder if the OP or anyone has suggestions of an updated attribute spread for V2.x?

Loved this speedrun and have been trying the build and strategy myself. However there are few issues with replicating this in Version 2.01/White March: - Several of the chest locations seem to have been updated in the patch (for ex. upper level Eothas temple has Amulet of Health on day 2 of the month not day 1 which gives the Spellward Amulet). Hopefully Adaxe will update his table of chest contents for Version 2.x. - Perception now affects Accuracy not Deflection so my Rogue ends up with -7 accuracy so I get a lot of misses. - Possibly as a result of that I have a lot of issues with the Maerwald fight and the Fan of Flames scroll has little effect on the enemies. I get killed a lot (all!) of the time Have you (re-)tried this run in the lates patch? I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how to best adjust the build for this run and any alternative approaches for the Maerwald fight.

Has anyone checked this out with V2.0 / new expansion ? I seem to be getting different items from some chests - eg the trapped box in Eothas' temple gives me a Spellward Amulet instead of the Amulet of Health on day 1 of the month. Trying to follow the TCS Speedrun with a rogue but not sure how if I can't get the items
