Class/build with Modwyr?

[Azru]

What is the best class to have with modwyr/sword?

[Climhazzard]

It gives immunity to intellect afflictions correct?  I think my first choice would be a Devoted/Berserker since it would counter the confusion debuff.  Probably dual wield, you could start with the Watcher's sword in your other hand then transition to anything better that you find along the way.

i am wondering which other weapon will best complement modwyr when dualwielding... there are some nice swords/sabres...but can't decide which one i like the best

[Climhazzard]

Here's a little list of swords, https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Category:Pillars_of_Eternity_II:_Deadfire_swords

 

It doesn't show the possible upgrades though.  I think Duskfall would be a pretty good choice to use with Modwyr if you went Devoted/Berserker.

On my skald/berserker I went with Min's fortune as my 2nd weapon, enchanted to cause a random affliction on crit. Seemed to work quite well given the various crit and attack speed buffs present.

Thank you! I'll try that!

the rapier from the vault seems also like a valid option...+25% damage on flanked targets is pretty nice

It's probably not optimal, but I'm planning a single-wielding Devoted/Soul Blade.

I played a Devoted (Long Sword) / Berzerker built around the use of modwyr.  You can basically get modwyr ASAP after arriving in neketaka (just sneak to it).  

 

Anyway, he was a god among mortals.

 

I mean, any character past level 14 is a god in this game.  But he would just decimate rooms on his own (POTD with level scaling of course).

 

Cleave Stance + Carnage + Charge in particular
