Elric Galad Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think I know pretty well how buff stack (there are rules, even if they are cryptic) but debuff are a total mystery. Why stat debuff from sickened and weakness stacks while defenses debuff from the same conditions don't ? From the list above, what would cause the suppression ? I'll be very curious.

Boeroer Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Huh? Weakened and Sickened used to stack completely. If it doesn't anymore, they surely nerfed that on purpose. It was very powerful. Edited March 21, 2016 by Boeroer Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limaxophobiacq Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Oh, a note on Painful Interdiction for anyone who wants to use this build: it's currently bugged and has been since 3.0 beta, as are all spells with two different saves like this (though not spells with one save and then another if you fail the first, like Relentless Storm). The second save doesn't get the level bonus so at level 16, the accuracy for the Weakened effect will be 16 points lower than it should be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did a little bit of testing (though not with Sickened) it was the defense debuffs (in that case from Shining Beacon and Weakened) that stacked while the attribute (which is what I assume you mean by "stat") debuff didn't stack.

omgFIREBALLS Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I play slight variations of this build on all my priests. I like it when my priests can buff fast and hard. So I'd say the gloves and the flail are pretty damn important, as well as whatever is used to buff up int and dex. Garodh's Chorus? Meh. Your priest's damage is just icing on the cake. 2 My Deadfire mods Out With The Good: The mod for tidying up your Deadfire combat tooltip.

AndreaColombo Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Hi, You can certainly use this build on Durance; I've done so more than once myself. It is worth noting, however, that Durance will be significantly slower owing to his poor DEX score. Equipment is not as important in this build as are talents, abilities, and stats. The boots that increase DEX are particularly important on Durance because of what I said above; I wouldn't waste the Helwax Mold to make a duplicate of Garodh's Chorus. Give the helm to your main and something different to Durance; his MIG score is already decent IIRC so he doesn't super need it. Edited October 7, 2016 by AndreaColombo 1 "Time is not your enemy.

Boeroer Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Give him the ring of thorns or Finreah's Grace from the Doemenels' shop. They both will give you +3 DEX and can be obtained rel. early. The Belt of the Staelgar from the merchant in front of the Vailian Trading Company gives +2 DEX and has a minor Breakout enchantment. 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeroer Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hey, it's Durance. He deserves it. I'm on Linux by the way - so no visible cloaks for me... 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinchan820000 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 thank you.if the main problem for this build with durance is because of low DEX,then i will put ring of thorns or Finreah's Grace and Belt of the Stelgaer as Boeroer suggest.good to go.thank you ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampros Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 L4wlight, You sure the Gyrd is all that good for the Priest? First, the Displaced Image proc is only on crits, not hits - contrary to what you wrote (or so says the Gampedia). Second, the Dominate effect is only 10 percent chance - so you won't be getting far fewer procs there then a Wizard with Blast. AndreaColombo, Two questions about the build. First, I am a bit confused about the idea of using a Priest as a scroll caster. Simply put, doesn't a Priest have enough spells to cast as is? Second, can this build do any damage casting? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaColombo Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hi Lampros, I'll be honest, I don't use many scrolls at all when I play (besides the mandatory Scroll of Valor and Scroll of Defense). My MC always ends up having a fairly decent Lore too to enable dialog options, so if I need a scroll I can use either one (but I generally don't.) As for doing damage with spells, that's not something I normally use a Priest for. The Unfaithful build would be better suited to that purpose (and it is my current go-to Priest build to boot, FWIW.) 1 "Time is not your enemy.

I also plan on using Priest mainly to buff and debuff - and Boerer suggested that I try this build for that purpose. However, I have 4 melees, so the lack of ranged damage or AoE will be a problem - especially early going. So I was wondering if this build can help out a little bit there. If I were to tweak this build, I'd basically up Perception and Might a bit to get some nuke power? I will also take a look at the Unfaithful build - thanks for the reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done. Thanks. I didn't want to bring it lower than 8 though - it seems too un-immersive to have Arwen with so little resolve, considering how she stuck with Aragorn for so long!
