FS is definitely balanced expected parties to be close to or at level 20, and even if SSS has a lower target level, some of the encounters scale up very well and stay extremely challenging. In both cases a lot of great end-game gear comes from those DLCs, even if you're not gaining levels anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Baby Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 ok nice, guess ill follow this path then trying beast around 14, then sss/fs when toward end. i'm a completisionist so i like do all quests and tasks possible. does using poe1 save file for poe2 story have a big impact for eder? in poe1 i never picked him up, now only thaos alive, i know still possible complete his quest even without maervald, but its a bit of a hassle. should i go for it you think?

(more drastic reactivity is if you like murdered a companion in poe1. they obviously won't be around in deadfire.)

Panda Baby Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 erm...i did murder aloth...like from the start for his grimoire...guess no aloth in poe 2 then haha....i did same to pallegina...i just coulden't support their caracter lol pity they didnt bring more old companions except those 3. but i abso love eder. hope new poe 2 companions have some good banters starting off the bat on potd is probably suicide as i dunno the game , but heh best way to learn is have my ass whooped. or does hard +scaled offer some challenge too as in between?

Panda Baby Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 i cant seem to find a thread about the talents skills for casters and tanks/melee detailing their utility and what suck or not. whats your personal income on this guys since you are experts based on all your posts? @thelee @Boeroer what are the must/optional/useless skills/talents to bring for tank/caster/support roles. i mean among the new stuff of poe 2, ones from poe 1 no need go back on it cept if some major changes happened. did read your guides to some builds but its not always set in stone.

In my opinion the BPM is a fitting expansion of the community patch, giving some of the basically never-used talents and abilities more value and hence providing additional builds and strategies without making anything overpowered or too easy. As an option it also includes some minor nerfes that further bring subclasses/abilities on par. Although it takes a "freer" approach in modding things than the community patch, many potential adjustments are also discussed in the according thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
