Yes, wait till lvl 9 and then only put Dragon Thrashed into your chant (just that single phrase). Then judge.

 

In the meantime pick defensive talents, Veteran's Recovery, Ancient Memory + Beloved Spirits. That should make him quite sturdy.

I annoyed the dozens people whilst siding with crucible knights (didn't realise you could do start quest for each) so obviously can't get the helm, is the a good alternative to the whisper of treason helm for this build? Thanks

Just use any enchanted helmet that you can find. Argwe's Adra helmet or White Crest helmet are both fine. He Carries many Scars as well.

Hi, have you have already seen this page?
https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Chanter_abilities

Here you can find the matching phrases/invocations.

For an example, DR- is And Hel-Hyraf Crashed Upon The Shield , DR+ is Not Felled by the Axe, Nor Broken by the Storm and Crush/Stun is The Thunder Rolled Like Waves on Black Seas.

In similar way, Endurance-(!) is Come, Come Soft Winds of Death, Reflex & Move Speed Blessed Was Wengridh, Quickest of His Tribe, Concentration- Thick Grew Their Tongues, Stumbling O'er Words and so on.
