Frog Man

Hey don’t sleep on my bOy Vatnir! He’s great with all three class combos available to him. I’d keep him single class for buffs and nukes.

Lol a shame? Quit bitching. I’ve played the game to level 11 basically a hundred times, it’s quick and frankly that part of the game is really fun. There’s nothing wrong with the class you chose, but if you want another one just start over. It will go even faster now that you know what you’re doing.

Running a single class troubadour right now and he’s the star of my party. We are about able to take down stuff way tougher than our current level ( due to his strength and flexibility. Right now the ogres are absolute beasts, they have tons of health and hit HARD. With brisk recitation I get phrases so fast I can keep the ogres up 100% of the time. Looking forward to throwing out the occasional empowered eld nary later though!

I’ve done both and I have to disagree. Mainly because I can’t win boarding fights until I’ve beefed up the team quite a bit, whereas I’m leve 6 right now and I’m The scourge of the freaking Deadfire with my ship. Archaven- if you dig a bit there is a great thread of ship combat where Gromnir and others lay out exactly how to do it. Ive been having a blast every since, pun intended thank you very much. Short answer - get double bronzers ASAP, close to within range of cannons (under 350), turn, then HOLD POSITION ONE TURN, blast, jive, hold, blast, rinse repeat until they are dead. Easy and fun

Chanters are probably my favorite class. I’m curious which summons people love, which are your favorites, most OP, etc. conventional wisdom is using skellies early and switching to Ogres and maybe the enchanted weapons later. Anyone like the wisps? Or spores? Like running a single class chanter so you can get the giant dragon as fast as you can? Hit me with those chanter strats!!

Scout with Maia run using the red hand is pretty bonkers. Sin Tee has a guide on YouTube for it. I’m using it now and she’s tripling dps of my other guys.

Corporate CEO standup meeting rofl. That is perfect.

Dump resolve. Con to 8 or 10. Max PER and INT. Rest in dex. Might at 10 or so is fine. Stats don’t make that big a difference. Folks have different philosophies with armor. I like everyone in mail or heavier. Enemy AI likes to gang up on squishies. You cast a little slower but it’s worth it.

Nice RP back story! For your guy I’d recommend the ‘intimidate’ passive skill. It’s really fun in conversations and fits your character.

1) change main character (priest of berath , then fighter/wizard) - new character runs in with fear AOE, plus I max intimidate and role play as a big hulking badass named Leary that scares everyone in and out of combat 2) ally with diff faction (first pirates, then Deadfire company) 3) use different companions (this is huge! The main ones have tons of reactivity in the game. You should experience the game with each companion at least once, more than once if you want to take your relationship down different paths) 4) different romance 5) ships! Ignored the ship game first go around. This time? I’m the most feared, bloodthirsty dhow in the Deadfire. Ships name is the Punisher Having a blast through my second full playthrough ! Already planning my third, which is why I spend so much damned time on these forums Re: sidekicks, I love them, but miss the rich interactivity of the main companions. Vatnir, however, is my BFF.

Would like to run a priest main character for next run! Actually ran a Priest of Berath for my first run through the deadfire on hard at release and had a great time, but I’m looking to optimize this go around. So please pass along suggestions! Just to be clear I’m looking to hopefully run a priest who can be the top dps and nuker for the time. Will likely even bring Xoti to handle the Devotions buffing and teammate saving. I want this guy to be the bringer of the apocalypse. Some general questions...single class priest the way to go? Which god - magran for fire priest (ring of Fire accuracy, dropping shining beacons and pillars of fire)? Berath again? New woedica? Does it matter? Go single class for higher power level and top spells? If not, multi class with what? Could see the helwalker caster formula with enduring dance helping the spell damage. Thanks for the ideas!

Not to derail but this makes me want to run a Tempest (Barb/Druid) with the voulge. Storms, frenzy, carnage....one woman wrecking crew.

Gosh I love write ups like this. Really cool to hear your perspective and to hear how your party fared. Curious about your war caller and pathfinder from previous runs! Mind sharing the details?

Great point. I like the rod idea better. Best way to lower deflection in Aoe? I’m guessing confounding blind is a good one.

Herald and single class monk

Does Stunning surge work with Blast from Rods?

Don’t feed the trolls

You have to be bleeping kidding me

This actually sounds crazy fun. Wanted a single class Rogue build for my boy Eder (though I’ll need to boost his int). Which Rod would be best for this build? Haven’t had time to test but does Wayershaper focus cause toxic strike to bounce?

Thanks for the update OMGFIREBALLS. Want to try this on my next run!

Monk monk herald. Going two monks three heralds. Or more heralds more monks. Single class monks. Whispers of the wind! Team setup: monk monk herald herald herald monk herald monk monk (single class) herald DESTROYS. Autopilot. Monk ! MERALD! HONK! MONKERALD. Single class monk.

<grabs a megaphone, clears throat, takes a big inhale> IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND I HATE YOU

Yeah in my mind Tekehu is the only companion that is flat out better than even created characters. Love having him round out my teams as he can fill so many roles (even within the same battle!), heals, blinds, stubs, shield cracks, even AOE nukes with storms plus upgraded Lord Darryns Voulge. PLUS YOU CAN HAVE SEX WITH HIM

Have you tried single class monk?
