Krowseph Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Can a rogue's riposte and offensive parry from Whispers of an Endless path trigger at the same time or are they exclusive of one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krowseph Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Managed to download the game and test, it does. Might try to build a high deflection Trickster/GoldPact Knight that focuses on Riposte/Offensive Parry. Edited May 31, 2018 by Krowseph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L4wlight Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Can both trigger from the same miss. It's pretty overpowered on a high deflection build. SHARKNADO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krowseph Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yes, both trigger on the same miss. You are still semi limited by the lower % chance on riposte going off though, offensive parry seems to go off every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did quite a bit of brainstorming to figure out which other class would work best with Rogue and would provide the highest amount of readily available Deflection. By utilizing Trickster, I have access to Mirrored Image which provides +30 deflection which is only 10 less than Wizard's Double. I do not consider Arcane Veil an option because it is simply too short of a buff. With a Paladin subclass I get a "readily available" passive deflection bonus through Deep Faith (+21?). I can't find a class other than Paladin that would provide that much...Fighter has some deflection buffs but they revolve around being hit to remain active...something that I want to avoid.

Stasis_Sword Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Samelia's Legacy and Gladiator Sword might be useful if you're really trying for max deflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krowseph Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I would lose the offensive parry from Whispers of the Endless Paths. Trying to build high deflection around multiple parry skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis7884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) what i think is nice about that build is that its very versatile - you can sneak attack from a distance or up close, sneak around, tank, confuse enemies etc... its very versatile... weapons that also work well with this build - you loose offensive parry tough is rannigs wrath (recover when missed); duskfall (+20 deflection at start of combat); stalkers patience (+damage on flanked and recover when crit).... akolas apex ward also has a riposte chance built into it. I'd probably take bleak walker over goldpact tough - gives you a damage boost and flames of devotion will be your main attack...affliction is helpfull for the deathblows... and intimidate for samelias usually leads to aggressive answers which doesn't work well with goldpact Edited June 3, 2018 by Nemesis7884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 With WotEP you can apply afflictons in an AoE by the way. With a huge cone (high INT + Infuse) you can put Arterial Strike and/or Confounding Blind or Gouging Strike on several enemies at once. Adds more misses (since their accuracy is lower), too. Spellblade seems to be a good option because of that. Paladin is also nice: FoD's lash gets applied to all enemies you hit and you'll apply Sickened several times with a Bleak Walker. I didn't test it but I guess White Flames will proc from every enemy you hit,too. 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
