I went through the dialog, and Ydwin accepted my offer to join my crew, i started to level her as rogoue (i think), but decide to multiclass her instead, and now she offers to join my crew, but I never get the popup to level her, and she won't follow me, nor is she among my already recruited characters, she remains at the spire and when i click her I just get "Ydwin nods sharply"... Help please?

@GuyNice, Yeah, that information was missing where I was looking too... @Cactot, that is only the case when you frenzy, though I appriciate your suggestion for respeccing, I hadn't actually considered that, thanks mate

My intentions are much the same GuyNice... Though having nothing else to take up my time till the game is out, I figured I might as well, theorycraft a bit just to help me make the decision between pure Berserker and Fanatic... Also, almost all abilities are in the wiki now (a few are coded wrong unfortunately) up to powerlevel 9... And if you need to know one of the few that are buggy, you can watch CohhCarnages video, he made one where he opens every single ability in the game to let us read, does take some pausing to read, but it has full information on ALL classes.

Good to know the Zeal side won't be the problem... Thing is the Wiki doesn't mention Rage cost on any abilities, så it's very hard to judge the abilities cost effectiveness... But Blow seems good, full attack, increased penetration, increased carnage area, increased damage, increased crit chance, increased crit damage. Upgrade either gives rage back or gives Barbarian instant recovery from the attack if you kill the target. it was either Blow or the Shout the way i see it... well, I could go with a paladin defensive passive... The problem is how hard it is to know the balance between defense and offense without having played a single level... But the Blow was 1 of the things I was considering replacing if I was dropping too fast... I heard it's possible to respec (no idea how hard/easy it is though) or is that limited to the beta only?

I've been theory crafting alot waiting for the release later today (is it 18 o'clock yet?) and I've narrowed my Watcher down to being a Berserker or a Fanatic (Bleak Walker/Berserker). however i can't get a feel for how sustainable the Berserker is on his own, especially since if I pure Berserker it, I have far less fixed idea of what armor and weapons(s) he will be using... Fanatic on the other hand, I know will be in full armor and dual wielding to offset the recovery penalty (I'm very heavily inspired by the Carbide Chainsaw build elsewhere on this forum here)... I know I won't play a pure Paladin because Pallegina will be a mainstay in my party and I'd end up creating those 2 almost identical if I did. Basic question then is, how fragile is the Berserker? If I multi Class, I will be getting (and upgrading) Frenzy, Barbaric Blow, Flames of Devotion, Sworn Enemy and Zelous Aura... rest will be passives that enhance first, damage and then defense as needed. Mental fortress on level 10 alone is a very strong benifit of the multi class... however another thing I have a hard time theory crafting is Class Resources, will I even have enough to make use of those 5 abilities in a single combat? Attached is a picture of how I imagine the Berserker and Fanatic Builds will roughly be leveled, all input is greatly appriciated as i sit in my chair for another 6½ hours jumping up and down, slowly destroying the back and seat ^_^

Oh sweet old Afghanistan, been 8 years since I was there last, how is it? Still hot and full of ****? as for the high level abilities, neither class have any that seem to enhance what this combination does... They both got good and interesting abilities, but they are more rooted in the stereotypical version of the 2 classes... Barbarian does a little more damage in different ways and Paladin heals and becomes unkillable... did an aproximate build of both (very theoretical since I don't have backer beta) and of the combo and honestly I didn't really miss any of the level 8 or 9 abilities all that much... anyways, have fun down there and remember to duck anytime you ain't sure what someone shouted at you ;P

I've seen more builds here than I'll be able to play in a life time, but 1 thing I haven't seen is one which stats are focused on conversations and then figured out which class would work with those stats ^_^ Not having access to the beta myself, I have very little input myself aside from asking the question, which stats are most relevant for conversations and how high should they be without wasting points going too high, yet still being relevant. So which stats would wou value higher than any other for conversational purposes? and how can we use passiv skills to arugment either our weak stats or improve further our high ones...

So, all intended abilities have been released You still think, the Chainsaw is viable? The really high level paladin abilities look sweet as does the barbarians... So you think the synegy of the 2 classes will be good enough to make up for not getting access to those? And yeah, i'm being a little pushy, sorry about that, just frustrated about not being able to start the game up yet and trying to cope in here ^_^ Also, can you confirm for me if multiclass will cap at level 7 abilities or higher or lower? I've gotten a little contradicting information from some streamers

Since taking the Berserker specifically, I was wondering, how big of a problem is the friendly fire for your other melees? I was considering putting Pallegina near him for the AR aura if I went Gold Pact since they don't get Auras according to the Wiki. Assuming friendly fire is a problem, would you consider dropping some Intellect to decrease the size of Carnage?

Any updates to the "Carbide Chainsaw" here less than a week before release?? It's just up my alley since I would most likely have been playing either a Barbarian or a Paladin...
