Essence Interrupter

So, playing a bit with my ghost heart / assassin. What is better: Enchant it with +shock or +burn damage? Because it scales with metaphysics.

[Boeroer]

I'd say shock. All the Ironclads and Steelclads are so annoying...

[baldurs_gate_2]

Hmm, do you think, EI is the best bow for my class? Or something else?

[Boeroer]

Essence Interrupter is very nice, a good dps alternative is Aamiina's Legacy. I like EI better because of the neat side effects.

 

But you should find something else for your attacks from stealth/invisibility, especially if you want to use backstab as well.

 

Dps on those bows is good, but the base damage is rather low and that's what is important for your assassination attacks. Something like Dragon's Dowry or so is pretty good in that case.

Hmm, the Ranger would not be so bad, but with a full attack, he hits still only one time. Every dual wield melee class would just out-dps this class. They really need to fix that.

Well sure, but Obs implemented a significant damage penalty to those dual full attacks. Nothing is stopping you from dual wielding blunderbusses or pistols. But Full attacks are not the focus of the ranger, some of his skills are primary anyway.

Instead he gets stuff like Driving Flight and eventually Twin Shot.

Would be cool, if it was an PL VII talent, but it's VIII and not be available for MC.
