Elric Galad Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I am a bit desappointed about Chanter nerf.Tier 3 Intellect Inspiration was broken. It is bad to have an inspiration that is OP on its own. That needed fixing, fixing this Invocation is just a way to hide the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vastus Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Well looks like almost every item that saw any use has been nerfed, my guess is that they will buff weaker options somewhere else down the line but for now we'll just have to adapt. I'll probably have to use a different 2h as back-up for my solo PotD Warlock, since Whispers single-target DPS got cut in half, or maybe switch to Engoliero do Espirs all-together. One interesting thing that I didn't see in the list of nerfs is chanter summons. A chanter multi might be the best option for a solo run now honestly. Rogue getting bonus damage on all their abilities also raises them up in the rankings a bit, but not much. Fighter isn't the king of AoE anymore, with how bad Carnage is there is actually almost no AoE for martial classes come to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its strange that they are bashing down Ciphers even further, maybe they dont want Ciphers to be played in Deadfire? ;P What did they do to the breastplate?

evilcat Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Ascendant ware powerful, since they could reach max preatty fast, and then spam the heaviest spells they have. But that was issue with Ascendant, which could be fixed by changin ascession to "have 50% discount on your powers while lasting". Beside that, there was like 10 powers worth time, which you cant even use all, since you either use 1 power or another (kinda like chanters invocations. Same level as Rogues Druid, some nice stuff, but nothing game breaking. The main reason why everyone picked Attune Body is that ciphers have very few powers worth something. After nerfs: You still can play Ascendant Rogue. And use same powers as usual - attune. Beguiler still trashed. It is something. But why?

Pure Ciphers is weaker now but in the grander scheme of things still viable. With Brillance gone, replenish-able resource classes seems more desirable and Ciphers are one of those. I mean in PoE1 Ciphers got multiple nerfs at the start as well. In the end they were still usable. Maybe they will buffed again in the future.

Could be nobody has tried summoner yet, wouldn't get my hopes up to high just yet anyhow. Ravager ought to be able to do decent AoE with carnage+rooting pain. It appears that Beckoner now actually has +1 to phrase cost for summons while retaining the other bonus and malus, that'll really push Troubadour to be the go-to for a summoner which it kind of was already. Skald is obviously still great for a martial multi focusing on crits although Paralyze hit-to-crit is only 25% now. And you are right there is still some decent AoE but it is not nearly what it was. AoE weapons such as Whispers being hit as well compounds this. That might actually mean that martial classes will have more trouble on solo runs and push for some more diversity with casters seeing more use as well for their AoE capabilities, assuming you can also get an acceptable level of survivability.

Yeah that definetly make sense. At least they could go "Your direct damage invocations cost +1phrase" that would make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
