Mocker22 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Hey guys, I had an idea for a Cipher dps build for 3.0. Hoping the more experienced builders could critique this and let me know if you think it would work well. Thanks for the help. The general idea is to dual wield Drawn in Spring and Spelltongue. Does spelltongue work for keeping up the buffs from cipher powers? If so I would build for fast attacking and rely on soul whip and the buffs to compensate for fast 1h weapons. Thoughts?
Abalon Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 For potd I almost always do ranged control ciphers can certainly give you tips if you go that way, btw where do I find ryhons vambraces? ( random loot or quest?

Mocker22 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 I feel like control ciphers will not work nearly as good with the increased focus costs. This idea was around a primary dps char.
id3a Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I feel like control ciphers will not work nearly as good with the increased focus costs. This idea was around a primary dps char. If you feel like cc must be the 1st thing to be done in a fight, then you're right.
Elric Galad Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) If you look more closely at cipher changes, you'll see most of their single target CC have been buffed (whisper of treason, mental binding, puppetmaster, silent scream.) Only their high level AoE CC (amplified wave and mind plague) have really been nerfed. But ringleader seems still very powerful. It seems more a slight change of style (with increased variety) than a true nerf. By the way, I was thinking about a Cipher specialized in DPS too. More precisely specialized in Critical Damages. The idea is to create a Hearth Orlan Watcher Cipher, to get Doemenels' talent, Dungeon delver award, one handed durgan-refined Purgatory Saber, which leads to : - 30% hit to crit - +120% crit damage bonus (+50% base for a +170% total). - good accuracy with single handed style, further boosted by High Perception, possibly Borrowed instinct, tactical meld and strong deflection debuff like Mental Binding and Silent scream. What do you think of this build ? Do Doemenels talent and Dungeon Delver works with damage spells ? With CC spells ? Edited February 9, 2016 by Elric Galad
Boeroer Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Spelltongue will increase the durations of your buffs - cipher powers included. Drawn in Spring's wounding does not generate extra focus. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
Mocker22 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Spelltongue will increase the durations of your buffs - cipher powers included. Drawn in Spring's wounding does not generate extra focus. Still probably the best dps for a 1her right? Also as for the CC topic, I'm not saying my Cipher would never use CC abilities, but it would not be the primary focus. I basically never run without a wizard and priest so they would handle most CC and let the Cipher focus on self-buffing and putting out the dps.
Abalon Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 It's a interesting idea question if I cure the droggie can I still kill it?

Boeroer Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 ROFL. Yes, if you cure the dragon you can still kill it afterwards. Also if you walk away after curing it and come back later. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
Blades of Vanatar Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 It's a interesting idea question if I cure the droggie can I still kill it? Yea.Wot's a droggie? Alpine Dragon.
