I can't hear any battle music when I'm in a battle. When I'm battling I should hear battle music, but when battle occurs; I don't hear the battle music. So, what's up that?

2: Get the summon phantom spell. He's your offense. 3: Make sure to invest in attributes that help you survive such as CON and RES. 4: Get the "Fast runner" Utility Talent. 5: Once the game gets going; take the rouge's cape to allow you to easily escape engagement. 6: Wear heavy armor. Also, use shields. 7: In combat, you'll be faster than nearly all enemies. So go ahead and run around building up chants. Once you have three: summon the phantom! 8: There are a very few foes you can actually keep up with your speed. These foes are hilariously weak though, and won't be able to deal with your defense. They can't hold you either since you can just disengage them with nearly no penalty. If they chase soon it'll just be the fast little worm and you alone. Go ahead and just wait for the summon. 9: On your first level up I advise investing in "weapon and shield style". Gives you +10 deflection AND reflex defense while using a shield. Totally pwns the fast but weak enemies. That's pretty much how it works. I should note there is an Ai bug that makes the enemy randomly abandon the fight while you're running away; even if you're not far from them. It's annoying as it "ends battle" and makes you lose your chants. Not a big deal though. BTW: After I did everything worth doing; I WENT INSANE!!! My pets and I wiped out the whole town!

What's the general strategy for Chanter solo? Speed and defense. Prolong the fight and build up chants. Then use summons to kill the enemies. 1: Choose the speed increasing chant to help you keep distance on enemies.

Consumables are better in PoE than in most RPGs, but they're more expensive too. Still, a slight nerf is in order. You should also keep in mind that thanks to engagement pc's can't just move away when they're injured.

There are abilities that restore health now.

This is good

I've been soloing. It's easy as I suspected. I just wanted to show a quick highlight:

The key to solo play is the chanter I suspect. I'll give it whirl and report to you guys how it went...

That is an awesome idea. It's the best of both worlds!

Significant? No. Build Neutral? Sure.

The problem is I get shoehorned into class roles I don't want. I'll give an example: In Skyrim Orcs get a racial power that makes them into epic warriors. So when I wanted to play an Orc; I had to be a warrior or nerf my character horribly. I didn't want to be a warrior. I just wanted to be an orc cuz' they got cool lore and look neat. I think it's just restrictive when racial abilities are strong because you should make your class/attributes take proper advantage of it. Unless you don't mind that your character will be weak, and I do mind. I say let's just keep it a minor power that doesn't really matter, and let the real difference between the races be lore and appearance.

I agree. I prefer race to be more of a roleplaying choice than a mechanical choice.

Call me a noob, but I've never understood what DRM is. Are you saying that some versions of PoE will need an internet connection to play or what? If I do need an internet connection to play PoE with DRM then I must have a non-DRM version. EDIT: Just checked My Pledges. It says my version will be DRM free so... It's kinda a moot issue.

I was running a Chanter and during the battle I summoned some skeletons. For some reason after the battle was over a little box displaying a skeleton's status never went away. It was a major annoyance since the window blocked my view of abilities! Luckily it went away after I entered the spider cave. I should also note that I attempted to summon skeletons during the battle again while I still had a single skeleton alive. Not sure if that's relevant, but just putting that out there.

This.

Profit driven media is more relies on sensationalist stories to get more clicks/tweets/whatever. Who'd have thunk it. Barely related prediction: In 50 years the Republican and Liberal parties will have died out and been replaced by the "SJW" and "GG" parties. At that point I will abandon human civilization and live in the woods. Not a bad prediction.

A few thoughts: 1: Trolls are jerks. 2: She isn't all that informed about GG so I won't hold her slander against her. 3: That troll was absolutely pathetic. EDIT: 1 more thing. Trolling has NOTHING to do with attempting to silence people. It's just them being jerks for laughs.

Meh.

I got it from the "Super Ultimate Portrait Pack".

Whoah really cool changes ! :D But yeah, as many have said it, Resolve has just become a dump stat for most builds Nothing wrong with dump stats for builds; as long as it's not a dump stat for a class. Wait... INTERRUPT ENDS ENGAGEMENT!!! Awesome.

Then we were only disagreeing on details then as this was my position. I wouldn't have complained about focusing on elves if we only had like, 4 or 6 portraits of them already. I don't know how many more portraits we're getting, but I'm guessing about 5 or 6. I don't want any more them to be elves. we already got 12 of them! Although I think that male elf re-altered three times should only count as 1 so... 10. 9 If you don't count it cuz' it sucks.

My point was more how easy female elves are to find. I wasn't being exceptionally picky. Even so, given the game's already varied portrait style it's hardly a stretch to use that one; especially once the portrait is condensed which will slightly hide the differences. At any rate, the case is hardly rest even if you do have an unreasonable standard of precisely matching an internally inconsistent art style. The fact that you can find plenty of elf portraits online was only 1 part of a larger point: We already have plenty of elf portraits! Why do we need more as opposed to Wild Orlans or even 1 female Coastal Aumaua (The 1 we have seems to be an Island Aumaua)? This only becomes more redundant when you consider the new hooded portrait we'll be getting which will hide whether the portrait contains a human or elf. Bet it couldn't be passed as Wild Orlan or Aumaua.

Here's another: Again Just condense it. Heck a smaller version of this portrait is already in the "ultimate portrait pack" from sorcerers palace.

Find me 1. Very well. First I'll post a set of the female elves from PoE to use as a reference. (Dang, these aren't even all of them? Yeah, we don't need more when we don't even have 1 Wild Orlan.) Here's a portrait I found after looking for... 3 seconds. Just condense it a little bit and you're done.

Why? There's a million of them on the internet already. Use some of those. We need more portraits of the unique races. I waiting for the second Aumaua female portrait, and first Wild Orlan portrait. I don't think we need female elf number 6972. Because those millions of elven portraits on the internet doesn't fit the art style of PoE. I'm not a fan of elves overall, but people playing them has as much of a right to get a good portrait that fits into the game as I have to get a dongheadless deathlike portrait. With that kind of argument I could just as well tell you to just take a picture of a persian cat and superimpose over a generic halfling portrait. Boom, wild orlan! What are you complaining about, it's soooo easy to make a wild orlan portrait. Now that's just silly. Plenty of those elf portraits would look fine compared to the other portraits. The art style PoE uses isn't exactly unique and portraits that fit the art style are as rare as lent; especially since the art style isn't all that consistent to begin with. Besides we aren't even discussing whether there should be female elf portraits; it's whether we need MORE female elf portraits. We already have a few, and we don't even have 1 Wild Orlan picture at all. Taking a picture of a persian cat and superimposing it over a generic halfling portrait wouldn't look even decent in-and-of itself; much less like a Wild Orlan. That's just a stupid comparison altogether.
