ANSWER: RELAX MY FRIEND, first watch this: CLICK HERE - Watch this first or click the following image. Question: But, Luzarius, can I really punch through steel, ON PATH OF DA DAMNED? ANSWER: YES! @ Level 4 - 46.9 Crit PUNCH THE BUILD Race: Godlike - Moon - Aumana Special Ability: Silver Tide (Moon Godlike) – Every Encounter when reduced below 75%, 50%, or 25% Endurance moon Godlike generate waves of healing moonlight that heals Endurance to them and their allies. Class: Monk Culture: Living Lands Stats: - 19 might (for damage) - 18 con (so you can take punishment) - 18 dex (so you can punch fast) - 3 perception (you want to get hit) - 10 int (you want to retain willpower) - 10 resolve (you want to concentrate to a certain degree) Abilities: - (lvl1) Torment's Reach: Spam the hell out of this as much as you possibly can, spam it, spam it, spam it. - (lvl2) Lesser Wounds: - 2 wound threshold so you gain wounds faster. - (lvl3) Turning Wheel: For every wound you gain 5% of burn damage, to be used against enemies who are vulnerable to burning damage. - (lvl4) Vulnerable Attack: You punch 20% slower, but gain -5 DR bypass. THE HURTIN BOMBS. NOTE: I am not a fan of Fist of Anguish, it's not reliable. Skills I want to get: - Weapon Focus Peasant: +6 accuracy with unarmed, extremely important on POTD difficulty. (I'm at level 4, will take this at level 5 if possible). Armor: - Plate or Brigandine, the highest DR protection armor you can get. Tactics: - Have Durance cast consecrated healing and try to stay in it, but don't be afraid to punch the crap out of everything, being aggressive. - Durance may need to throw his iconic projection to heal you from a distance. - Spam the hell out of Torment's Reach. - Have Aloth use the Concelhaut's Parasitic Staff to support you from behind. (Make sure he doesn't poke your backside with his staff though). - Don't be afraid to disengage to hurt yourself to gain more wounds. - Have Durance cast withdraw on you if you're in trouble. Your Role: - You are the TANK & DPS. You go in first, you want everyone to hit you first. I actually use Eder as a tank/dps, 50/50. Eder uses a fine estoc. Eder & this monk build can hold a frontline very well while Kana, Aloth & Durance are in the back. You want to get hit as much as possible, build wounds fast and spam the hell out of torment's reach. PUNCHIN BOMBS FTW! The Inestimable Lord Raedric meets DA HURTIN BOMBS with level 4 party, no custom companions Frontal Assault Readric Hold

Hello people. I would like the community's help on a matter. I want to pick a class and i just can't decide which.I'm torn between a few because they each have some of my prefered playstyles. I like to use tactics and outwit my opponents. I liked the Shadow class from Dragon Age Origins.It has stealth,illusions,bombs and different poisons,basicly loads of fun. I tend to like summoning classes that are more active.Think WoW's warlock and Titan Quest's Spirit. I just want a fun,active and skillfull playstyle.So,that being said,i've reduced my classes to the following: 1.Rogue = in this game it feels too passive with no neat tricks and a few active abilities.You position and auto-attack. 2.Chanter = would've liked more dark and gritty summons but it's ok.It feels passive and it takes long to get them out.Most fights are finished by then. 3.Cipher = I play him melee with focus on illusions and deception.Almost no nukes.But it feels like i'm on the cipher band wagon with everybody and their grandma already there. Please help this poor wretched soul finally pick a class and finish the game(rerolled like 10-15 times)...
