dunehunter 1,173 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I‘d also add 'single target buff clearer' in the Pro section, Ranger has the highest accuracy, plus Borrowed Instinct your Concurssive Tranquilizer can hit anybody, no matter how higher their defenses are.

spyjine 0 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I have played almost same build(PotD Upscale solo). This is a quite solid build imo. Yeah, you need a lot of micro-management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Verde 516 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Why not go single or multi Beguiler? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Owlbear 22 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 That's an interesting pairing. You could use your ghost pet as a proxy for your cipher (beam) abilities. I wonder if that could work as a melee character. True it would be a shame to miss the ranged passives of the ranger. :] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mant2si 167 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 I‘d also add 'single target buff clearer' in the Pro section, Ranger has the highest accuracy, plus Borrowed Instinct your Concurssive Tranquilizer can hit anybody, no matter how higher their defenses are. Thank for suggestion. On my first (party) playthrough - I didn't use this skill. Now I'm in the middle of my solo run and I still looking a way for better skills distribution. On early game I'm sure you don't need Concurssive Tranquilizer, maybe on late game, I will check it and then update post I have played almost same build(PotD Upscale solo). This is a quite solid build imo. Yeah, you need a lot of micro-management. Sometime too much, special with enemies which immune to charm and high pierce armor Why not go single or multi Beguiler? Ascendant Draining Whip give you additional focus and with double pistols and full attack and critical strike you can regen it with single hit Ranger give you +30-40 to accuracy and mobility skill + bear for early game + full attack skill That's an interesting pairing. You could use your ghost pet as a proxy for your cipher (beam) abilities. I wonder if that could work as a melee character. True it would be a shame to miss the ranged passives of the ranger. :] I'm not sure, there no healing abilities, no high armor and deflection bonuses, but you always can use multiple moonwell + shield and face-tank everything, like in POE 1 1 Quote Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

mant2si 167 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I added additional info about equipment and updated skills progressionI also uploaded some videos with low level fighting https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP98PtDgUR9IRl-LGw54-4w, but currently I restarted my play-through because of Serafen weapon, so next video will be with this weapon instead of Scorde's Tropy, it will be more attractive because of a lot of area damage Quote Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

mant2si 167 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I update build to v0.3:* Now it fully supported forum markup* Re-calculated some bonuses, because after testing in the game some of them was redundant* Changed gear: Boots* Changed drug & active consumable * Removed scrolls because in current game state they feel too OP* Added notes about blessings* Added calculation for Penetration bonuses for PB* Added better PL calculation * Changed skill plan for late game: * Removed Defensive bound, Wounding shot + Modificator * Added (Stasis Shell, Pain Link, Camouflage)* Added video of gameplay* Changed bluff to insight, because most of the quests can be solved with diplomacy and insightAnd to make this post funny. I do G. Street at L7, before leaving port maje (You will end with L7 if you choose L4 Blessing and do all quests solo), without pulling enemies https://youtu.be/3BJJ9wCxcmc Edited June 17, 2018 by mant2si Quote Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

mant2si 167 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Super cool build. Love the aesthetic. Thanks, I specially choose this helm, instead of queen hat, because of glorious look :D I didn't write that, but when you playing this build you feels like steampunk knight, shield and pistol, mind powers, teleportation, lasers :D I uploaded Nemnok fight, I tried to aggro all enemies on the map, but I didn't understand where fire bats gone ? https://youtu.be/tyIbBr5jSXU Edited June 26, 2018 by mant2si Quote Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

mant2si 167 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Build 1.2 changes:Removed: Whispers of Treason Added: Tactical Meld Skill: Athletic -> Alchemy (Use drug that give +3INT, +3RESOLVE, +3PERC), you can start using potions that convert hit -> crit, now it seems ok, and make game little bit fasterIn summary: Patch 1.2 make this builds stronger, now with Tactical Med this class get +5 Perception (+5 ACC, 10 REF) and Aware (50% Graze to Hit), Body Attunement with increased duration, some spell can be cast faster :D Edited June 29, 2018 by mant2si Quote Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

hansvedic 40 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Is this build still viable for solo? Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rebelio 1 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Does anyone know if this build is still viable? I'm asking because it says game version 1.2, Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raven Darkholme 703 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm not too familiar with the build, but as far as I can see most interactions should still work. Keep in mind that Alchemy got heavily nerfed and since the author heavily invested in it it might have been a crucial part. Potion of Piercing Strikes now gives you the same amount of Pen at any alchemy rank (just duration increases now), and it used to heavily scale with alchemy. This mostly means you can't use the same weapon for every fight and have to adjust to enemy AR. The build has very mediocre perception, but crits also help a lot with Pen. If you're looking for just a build to copy I wouldn't recommend it, since megabosses also got added to the game which require even more pen. If you're ready to make tweaks on your own, sure a very similar build can still work.
