Metaturtle Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Seemed like monk got some nice fixes to abilities like The Dichotomous Soul and it could use some discussion on a separate thread. Equipment abilities like Effigy's Husk's death aoe works when your clones die though they are kind of tanky. I've tried equipping the Necklace of Unlocked Possibilities, but the weapons spawned in the hands of the monks do not scale like their fists do so you can get a range of unique weapons going from exceptional to legendary that you can find out via combat log. One thing I like to note is that for some reason item party auras like the Curios necklace didn't seem to give the buff to my party members, but it gave it to my party's other summons. On the other hand some auras that also benefit self, were able to be copied with my clones. The Belt of Magran's Chosen got even better for a monk since now the clones can trigger the "on-hit" to summon a fire elemental. That means a pure monk can farm for an elemental proc to perform a mortar/frost seeker Whispers of the Wind to stack a ton of resonances via splash aoe then burst into raw damage then repeat again on all the fire elementals it may have spawned to stack even more. I haven't tried the other new weapons or checked if other weapons have been changed similarly so there might be some super cool synergies I'm too busy to test. Has anyone felt any differences in blade turning? Filthy Chanter Main
mant2si Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Yeah, it don't turn touch abilities with positive effects to it caster :D Don't forget about mask that auto-cast terrify on < 50HP, that is my favorite combo is ship fights, you just summon them and enjoy mass terrifying 1 Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

That mask is very nice too. Filthy Chanter Main
Boeroer Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Abusing stuff like Effigy's Husk + Mantle of the Seven Bolts (or other AoE on death) + Efford (Full Attack on death) should be quite nice. You could now use a Monk/Wizard to generate lots of wounds passively with Alacrity and send in suicidal Essential Phantoms earlier in the game and later The Dichotomous Twins. You could just send your summons in as cannon fodder and nuke them (along with the enemy) with your nicest friendly-fire spells. BUT - last time I tested this those on-knockout effects didn't trigger with your summons because they don't seem to go unconscious but simply vanish on death - NOT triggerning the effect. Has that changed (which would be awesome)? 2 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

Has that changed (which would be awesome)? Ya, I tested it too pre 2.1 and it didn't trigger before, but now it does. I am assuming wizard clones do the same too since the Shroud of the Phantasm cloak summon benefits from equips as well and wizard clones have your weapons unlike the twins !

Boeroer Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Awesome! Thanks for the update. That's great news. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
mant2si Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) That is fun but I posted this video 2 week ago, but no one ask me why my summons have BDD and Iron skill effects Edited September 12, 2018 by mant2si Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

Boeroer Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Why do your summons have BDD and Iron skill effects? And more importantly: what are Iron skill effects? Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
mant2si Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Why do your summons have BDD and Iron skill effects? And more importantly: what are Iron skill effects? When character skin change color from normal to gray, there also exist spell with same name Ironskin :D If you equip Nemnok cloak it will proc for each summon separately, and your summons can survive storm of Holy Fire for example and keep flanked status little bit longer Edited September 12, 2018 by mant2si Solo PotD builds: The Glanfathan Soul Hunter (Neutral seer.

dunehunter Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Summons can still use equipment with per rest ability without consuming its use? Nice.... 1
Boeroer Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Yes, but the summons can't trigger abilities from gear actively. Those abilities have to be triggered passively. White Witch Mask for example (although that's per encounter). Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
Hulk'O'Saurus Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 If it's Nemnok's Cloak, then it triggers when an HP limit threshold is reached. Sorry... didn't watch the video :C 1
