mant2si Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Deadly Deadfire - https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/43This mod offers much more challenge, than original game, I currently play on normal version, because can't beat some fights. Maybe if obsidian fix alchemy I will move to hardcore :D Edited June 20, 2018 by mant2si Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

Ichthyic Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I played all the way through on PotD full scaling using the deadly deadfire mod (not solo)... and for most fights it seemed just right. guy did a nice job for a first attempt. did not notice any bugs.

araj123 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Heres the fight against her with the Deadly Deadfire Mod Not a very hard fight tbh. If i would abuse LoS and stuff this would be a lot easier didn't really bother here though. Wasnt needed anyway. Shark Soup doesnt make you immune to the knockdown which is a pity but whatever. I am gonna try some others with this mod installed to see how difficult they've become. Lucia Rivan should be interesting as that is imo the hardest fight in the game by far.

mant2si Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Did you try to convert your build to melee ? :D I got an interesting idea, if you stack enough dexterity (35) and use scordeo (~60%) you can reduce melee recovery speed high enough to use Wahai Pōraga, with that amazing black hole spell you can pull all enemies into single spot, and then destroy them. I'm not sure but may be Substantial Phantom, can attack you and generate electric lash for that Deltro's Voltage helm, if that works you can do very decent electric damage as bonus, there also exist gloves that can spam crack bolt on crit, and storm spell At the middle of battle you can use 1 - 2 Finishing Blow'sTriumph of Crusaders, should help you regen health, with such high int, your buffs will be stay around 50s - 100sTo boss enemies you can switch to DW, you can start battle with scordeo and Substantial Phantom, then after few hit's go to melee with death door, while you still has escape ability, you can escape regen and continue battle Edited June 24, 2018 by mant2si Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

knownastherat Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 @araj123 Reflecting upon your yesterday's post in another thread, I have a question. Do you adjust spell picks, cast order, and timing per encounter or does every encounter revolve essentially around the same: buff, gather-pull, same aoe? I am not asking if it's fun as I don't really care and it seems you like it, I am asking how versatile and creative gameplay is possible with this build. Not asking about bosses either because as you stated in OP this build cannot handle bosses. I am also not asking about early to mid game since it was stated there is no fighting till then. So is the gameplay more or less the same all the time or do tactics vary per encounter? I am genuinely curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mant2si Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I found a way - how to make this build even stronger1. Now in the game exist grimore that give you additional spell for each level but interrupt on damage, to bypass this limitation you need helm that give you immunity to interruption with at least 1 injure :D +7 Spells and Immunity to Interruption for free2. While weapon didn't affect your spell recovery speed you can take https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Sun_and_Moon with small shield, your accuracy will stay same but you will get +2PL, +20Deflection, +20Ref 3. With shield you don't need Entonia Signet Ring, you can pick https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Halgot%27s_Warmth and sometimes cast Consecrated Ground, because if don't planing to escape you will have 1 free L2 spell Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

knownastherat Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah, no shield I understood as flavor, however, with injury and Rekvu's Fractured Casque say goodbye to Empower or hassle to get an injury when Empower points run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
araj123 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 yea the gear isnt up to date there are other weapons that are really good aswell such as magrans favor, chromoprismatic and sungrazer if ure still playing 1.1 cons ground is terrible though but u can switch entonias for the 5% spell dmg ring if u want to go shield vaporous grim + helm combo i dont like it at all @knownastherat i will reply when im home to ur post as i am on phone right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knownastherat Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Alright, but don't worry about it too much because I kind of know the answer and the question was more or less rhetorical. For example, Freezing Pillar is obvious since it targets Fortitude and Reflex and after casting buffs and with the current state of the game - how encounters are designed, how PEN/AR works, grimoire mechanics, spell limit per encounter or spell design - there is not much room for creativity and versatility. I would love to be proven wrong, however, I am afraid the design is so flat that it will be very hard. As a side note, could the buffing phase be handled by AI?

AndreaColombo Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I *think* the tier-3 RES Inspiration (Corageous) also gives you immunity to Interrupts. One of the Paladin’s LoH upgrades bestows it, so you could use it on your caster to benefit from the grimoire’s extra spells. "Time is not your enemy.

1TTFFSSE Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Problem is that Vaporous Wizardry Grimoire sucks ... you hardly use the spells in it. Nothing comes close to the usefulness of Ninagauth's spell selection which is nicely fire/ice tunes and you don't have to worry about taking spells with your ability points and just get nice passives. Ninagauth's, Torn Bannerman's, Blood Soaked are good grimoires, for example, the others are hit and miss with the spells they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

araj123 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 That spell is so weird anyway as it definetly increases durations by more than 10 secs as stated in the description If anyone knows what it is affected by let me know :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansvedic Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Have a priest cast salvation of time on a cipher under time parasite + borrowed instinct and watch the fun. What about adding a Wall of Draining on top of Barring Death's Door and other buffs like Minor Avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
