Animal abuse Ranger build. That's something that probably shouldn't exist... Poor animals. All you need is a lamb companion for sacrificial lamb Ranger... for RP.

Just take the antelope companion and call it "Bambi" That raises the guilt bar quite high for me....

The Long Pain works with Penetrating Shot, not Vulnerable Attack. So I assume it also doesn't profit from other melee-only talents like Savage Attack. But it works with Resonance and that is really great. With Lightning Strikes and Turning Wheel you always cause Resonance and you can "mark" enemies one after anoher without overkilling them. Then run into their midst and trigger the raw damage - all dead! :)

 

Edit: Savage Attack doesn't work with Long Pain. But Marksman and the Wood Elf racial do! Welcome, Wood Elf Monk, finally. ;) You can shoot very fast with this fist. I had nearly no recovery with Lightning Strikes and Penetrating Shot. Paired with Long Stride this setup can turn you into a great ranged character. I wonder if you can wear a shield while having this. The durgan reinforcement from a shield would make you even faster. And with the Alia Braccia and Soul Mirror you woul reflect spells and arrows like crazy while shooting fast at the same time...

 

Edit2: the duplicates don't cause Resonance. ;) I didn't test scrolls, multiclass talents and spell bindings yet. 

 

that means u can take the marksman talent for extra accuracy as well. They will also get 20% atk speed boost from chanters though u prob want the 25% fire damage.

^ I have a guess ;)

 

As though Wizards needed more powerful 4th level spells, amirite?

 

Those are great!

Damn, why do wizard get so many more new toys than the other casters? I'd get them getting like twice as many but this is ridiculous, they get more new spells than priests, druids, and ciphers combined.

 

Wonder how Dread Haze works when you cast it on enemies. Does not knowing its endurance change AI behaviour?

Boeroer, no recovery wearing what?

Monk's outfit with durgan reinforcement - so basically wearing nothing concerning recovery.

I don't see enemy Paladins ever use Lay on Hands on Frenzied Barbarians during Cragholdt, so I guess it stops them from healing. The spell looks like it was designed specifically for the enemy to use.

Therefore, to summarize what I think about martial class now :

 

Fighter got 2 interesting tools : charge and immunity. It's still not vert clear for me how immunity works, but they look very potent. Fighters lacked a bit gamechanging powers. So it's good news.

 

Barbarian got some good abilities. Retaliation is a really nice passive, especially when used with DR and heal. Blood thirst is basically an useful variant of bloodlust. Good for killing trash mobs, no idea about its usefulleness against more serious mob. As barbarians tend to have meh abilities, I feel relieved that they got decent one(s).

 

Ranger heal pet stuff seems lame. It does not compet with paladin equivalent for raw values, and are not even applicable to other NPC. The vengeance stuff seems a gimmick. Firearm modal looks fun, but can't used with twin arrows : it opens new paths but don't make the class stronger.

 

Paladin new abilities are quite circonstacial. The anti-confusion friend-slap seems the best ability of the game against this threat. Not much raw power neither, but after Immolation, paladin needed a pause in their power curve.

 

Rogue new abilities looks nice but not crazy. I have to test them

 

Monk new stuff seems to have some potential but need to be tested : currently, it's hard for me to figure how powerful they are.

You can get a nice wizard spell from Coleslaw, summons a giant hammer that keeps damaging and knocking down one target. Also draining missiles but those don't seem to do anything at the moment.

Am I crazy or would Defensive Mindweb + Reaping Knives = amazing melee Cipher build whilst fighting near your tank/paladin?

 

Reaping Knives can only be cast on a team mate.  And best to be cast on a fast attacking team mate, like a monk or a rogue, rather than someone who slowed down by heavy armor.  But you cast Reaping Knives on a fast attacking character and it's damage galore, and huge amounts of focus for the Cipher who cast it in the first place.  Come to think of it, if you cast RK's on a rogue who is able to sneak attack with them, all the more damage!

Yeah, that hammer spell of Concelhaut's is amusing and effective.
