August 4, 20187 yr So when the game came out I thought the new Brisk Recitation is far weaker than it was in Poe 1, since removed linger means butchered Dragon chant. I tried dragon thrashed without BR since there was hope for it with 50% linger from Troubadour passive, but it turned out to be mediocre. For BoW I started my first troubadour since 1.0 and used BR jsut for the quicker phrases, but I felt like Soft winds damage looked weirdly high and mousing over the enemy showed a normal linger unlike mousing over my chanter where it only ever tried to linger, to start anew again and again due to BR's removed linger. Today I picked up Dragon slash and not only does it linger normally, but stacking is actually very reliable even on a far from maxed char (lvl 14) with only base Int of 20 and no Int buffs at all. Getting Int towards the cap should get at least 3 reliable stacks and 4 if crit reliably. The damage is still lower than in Poe 1 and the pen with 8 (12.5 on crit) isn't amazing, but there are ways to build around that and a dragon chanter could actually be viable in Deadfire.

August 4, 20187 yr Yeah it seems that the appliance of the DoT doesn't care for linger time. I actually never checked if the Ring of Focused Flame and Scion of Flame work with Dragon Thrashed. If yes that might solve some of the PEN-problems when playing PotD. Edited August 4, 20187 yr by Boeroer Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
August 4, 20187 yr Author Yeah it seems that the appliance of the DoT doesn't care for linger time. I actually never checked if the Ring of Focused Flame and Scion of Flame work with Dragon Thrashed. If yes that might solve some of the PEN-problems when playing PotD. I'm definitely gonna try those, it should work, since PL of the chanter seems to affect the pen as well, it should be possible to get good pen levels. Maybe the pen for spells food also works... edit: the ring doesn't work sadly, prolly needs keyword fire.

August 4, 20187 yr haha - I wanted to write the same about the ring because I also tested it in the meantime. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
