August 10, 20187 yr Like it says on the tin. I'm looking to start a new game and I want to try the very worst multiclass combo. Free games updated 3/4/21
August 10, 20187 yr Ghost heart/beckoner is a pretty bad one. You can only have 1 summon out at a time, so you either never get to use your ranger pet or never get to use the chanter's summons. That's the first terrible idea that comes to mind, I'm sure there are others.
August 10, 20187 yr I'd say all combinations of mage slayer and subclasses focused on self-buffs, such as conjurers and Wael priests, as they'd simply be gimping themselves. Doesn't get much worse than the already mentioned ghost heart/beckoner though.
August 10, 20187 yr Hmm, aside from the already mentioned gh/beckoner: Fury of Eothas Soulblade of Eothas Corpse-eater/Sharpshooter Lifegiver/Beguiler Trickster/Conjurer PoE1 useful stuff: attack speed calculator, unofficial patch mod, attack speed mechanics, dot mechanics, modals exclusivity rules PoE2 useful stuff: community patch, attack speed mechanics, enemy AR and defenses
August 10, 20187 yr Soulblade of Eothas Really Priest/Cipher in general in godawful. Trickster/Conjurer Didn't they fix that in the last patch? I'm not saying it's good now, to be clear. But IIRC you're no longer locked out of your rogue illusion powers. If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.

August 10, 20187 yr sharpshooter/shattered pillar, particular as a tank. shattered pillar gains wounds from inflicted melee damage, but attack speed is slowed and deflection is lowered by 10. sharpshooter gains benefits to crit and penetration at distances greater than 4m, but again, the shattered pillar only gains wounds from melee.

HA! Good Fun! The Sharpshooter PEN bonus is actually on foes closer than 4m IIRC, so wouldn't be too terrible on a pike/quarterstaff user, for example. But as a tank yes absolutely horrible choice. Corpse-eater/Sharpshooter sounds like a bad time too. Edited August 11, 20187 yr by thundercleese
August 11, 20187 yr Why would anyone use sharpshooter/shattered pillar as a tank? And the pen bonus of sharpshooter is ranged only btw.
August 11, 20187 yr They woudn't, but we're talking about the worst multiclass combo here. Okay yeah that makes sense, given the name and all.
August 12, 20187 yr ANY multiclass with a chanter is a good multiclass. Ghostheart/Beckoner isn't that bad because you're still a Beckoner. I vote Priest/Cipher. Not only is there no synergy, but you're gimping yourself because you can't get the higher level Priest spells. Edited August 12, 20187 yr by Marigoldran
August 12, 20187 yr Soulblade of Eothas Really Priest/Cipher in general in godawful. Trickster/Conjurer Didn't they fix that in the last patch? I'm not saying it's good now, to be clear. But IIRC you're no longer locked out of your rogue illusion powers. I leveled a priest/cipher to 20 solo potd and I don't think the combo in particular is bad. Cipher is just very limited in a game with a lot of charm resistant/immune enemies and some others with giant willsaves it often gets reduced to attacking instead of using powers, which makes it a lot worse than it could be. A priest can actually help out the weapon part of a cipher a lot and ofc the priest has a lot more spells that target reflex...

August 12, 20187 yr Well, yeah, but a pure priest or Cipher would be better. The multiclass makes it worse. Edited August 12, 20187 yr by Marigoldran

August 12, 20187 yr What? Pure Ciphers have a ton of abilities to target either Will or Fort. Disintegrate against Low Fort enemies and Charm against High Fort enemies. If you multiclass, you're going to miss out on abilities like Death of a Thousand Cuts. Edited August 12, 20187 yr by Marigoldran

That's the first terrible idea that comes to mind, I'm sure there are others. I though the whole reason behind the Ghost Heart was not having a godawful pet attached to your stats=P Priest of Wael/Trickster would be pretty pointless due to overlap. Blunderbuss Devoted/Mage slayer will play off "amazing ranged barb" with all the Fighter class buffs nerfed and accuracy penalties on any weapon. Beconer/Conjurer Conjurer/Mage Slayer Mage Slayer on Solo PotD in general
August 12, 20187 yr Yeah Cipher/Priest cant really be considered one of the worst imo. Priests get Barring deaths door and Salvation of time wich is great with everything. A priest/ascendant death godlike while near death and ascended would'nt be bad at all. Also Borrowed Instincts is good for priest nukes. I would trade ciphers top tier abilities for Barring and Salvation of time, that is if u want to play a cipher. Because i wouldnt trade the last two power lvls of a priest for any cipher spells Edited August 12, 20187 yr by Dorftek

August 12, 20187 yr There are some enemies with low fort, though they usually also have low hp and/or deflection which means they are best handled by hacking/shooting to bits.
August 12, 20187 yr Yeah those are enemies which are weak all over, not really the enemy type that decides if you multi or single class. My twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/victorcreed_twitch My youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/VictorCreedGaming
August 12, 20187 yr Priest of Eothas/AnythingElse? I'm struggling to think of any class that would work well with Priest of Eothas, that wouldn't work better with Priest of <somebody, anybody, else>, since all Eothas brings to the table that the others do not is Sunbeam at T1, filling the T2-T7 tiers of given spells with spells that all priests can get if they want to. The closest I can get is that for roleplaying purposes a Priest of Eothas/Kind Wayfarer Paladin (or /Shieldbearer of. st. Elga Paladin) would at least share some dispositions making that easier to handle, so I guess it should be Priest of Eothas/AnythingElseExceptPaladinWayfarerOrShieldbearer. Guess there's a reason there aren't any Priest of Eothas guides up yet: Skaen, Magram, Wael, Berath... but no Eothas. Edited August 13, 20187 yr by pi2repsion When I said death before dishonour, I meant it alphabetically.
August 12, 20187 yr I found melee berserker/helwalker the worst combination in the game :D Low deflection because of berserkerIncrease damage taken because of helwalkerMore might make you take more damage from FrenzyUsually you die before real fight start, this combination just unplayable until Death Door spell :D Edited August 12, 20187 yr by mant2si Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.
