Hello everyone. I need your help. Through inspiration of playing limited sized parties in PoE, I want to design a PotD duo that follows the description: Thought of Thor and Loki, a brother duo godlikes, Moon/fire and Death/fire respectively. Their roles in the fray would be for Thor to be and unkillable beast while Loki would jump to the back and obliterate squishies, while Thor keeps the frontline busy. Idea would be Thor as a (not bleakwalker) Paladin+Trickster/Streetfighter and Loki as Trickster/Berzerker (or mage slayer). Thor would hand n plank with Gladiator sword/C and Wahai Poraga for 2nd set. Idea behind this char is mainly be a wall, while also providing some support for Loki, when he gets focused down and has to back off so we can greater lay on hands his ass for him to keep fighting. Loki would dual wield with dual pistols for opening salvo and switch to something like Modwyr/Squid's grasp or something of the sort. The weapons here are situational and please DO sugest variants. Dual saber is also acceptable of course. Dual wielding here is key to burst down the squishies in the least time possible. Though as tempting as it seems, Assassin subclass is a no-no for me, doesn´t offer nearly enough for my tastes to give up a trickster with access to deflection with guile. So off we go: Loki (MC, Berath's blessing for stats n skills). Race: Fire Godlike Class: Berzerker/Trickster Background: White that Wends - Laborer Str: 19 Con: 12 Dex: 12 Per: 20 Int: 17 Res: 10 Vamping skill list out of "The Lightning Sphinx" because lazy and just want to set in the groundwork so it's easier to clean up than make anew, even if the former ends up happening anyway. ---- NOT UPDATED YET ----- Full List of Abilities at Lvl 20 Actives in Red Rogue: -Riposte? -Backstab -Escape -Dirty Fighting -Gouging Strike (Upgrade from Blinding Strike) -Persistent Distraction -Deep Wounds -Devastating Blow (upgrade from Finishing Blow) -Slippery Mind -Death Blows Barbarian: -Frenzy -Blooded -Thick Skinned -One stands Alone -Bloody SLaughter -Wild Sprint -Savage Defiance -Barbaric Smash (upgrade of Barbaric blow) -Interrupting Blows -Blood Thirst -Spirit Tornado (upgrade of Frenzy) I have no gear preference, so suggestions also welcome for me to write up a build. It'll be generaly about being tanky while not taking too many aflictions I guess (probably the double second wind on Loki), and would also like to know which type of backstory I need to pick to have access to Devil of Caroc's breastplate in my storyline. Current storyline I'm playing in does not have it, so I cannot play around with it. When I have time I´ll update this for you to know the gist of the character's skills be. Thor important skills: Greater Lay on Hands as stated, Persistent distraction and riposte (the main reason why I'm highly considering the Rogue multi). Loki important skills: Do more damage faster. And not die. That's it. ANY kind of input is apreciated :D On a final note, although I don't really like to pop drugs and consumables, I'll do so when the fights demand it, but don't really want to relly on it. Having scrolls of ressurect/moonwell/storms is ok and pots to heal up/spirit shield is fine. EDIT: I'm not limited by Thor/Loki interaction, but it was an iconic duo I could think of. If something sugested isn't up to the theme of said duo, one could argue on things to justify decisions.
