If you augment level 6 cipher cost from 35 to 60 don´t give us +10 focus, give a bit more

fighting high damage reduction enemies like the Adra Animats and the double increase cost makes level 6 spells as if they didn´t exist. You can´t launch not even one in the whole encounter

Just use ST. Ydwen's Rewdeemer.

St. Ydwen's Redeemer, man. Is there any problem it can't solve (apart from any problems related to creature types other than Vessel)?

[Blades of Vanatar]

But when do you get Redeemer as compared to when do you fight the Animats?

[Inspector Switchblade]

Be revived 5 times for the weapon to become superb.... priceless. I´m glad my first playthrough was on 1.06....

I can live with new costs but i'd like to see a talent to reduce them a bit.

You can get it as soon as you are able to go to the White March. IIRC its found on a group of enemies near Galvino's house.

Part of the solution here is making sure you have at least two damage types available so you can deal with extremely pierce-resistant enemies. I'm waiting to see what new weapons are available with WM II before I make any judgement calls. 

 

If you're talking about blunderbuss ciphers you can switch to a pistol for high DR opponents, but that doesn't help vs. pierce immune opponents.

You will have to use an implement then. Did anybody try that on a cipher with Dangerous Implement? The Golden Gaze is nice... It's the blunderbuss of implements.

My hope is that WM 2 will add some guns with alternate damage types, like sagani's bow, etc.
