Dorftek Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If you'd be running a trio through potd. What classes/builds would you pick and why? Personally I'd try with: 1. Paladin tank for a good package. 2. Wizard for CC and AoE dps. 3. Rogue for good sustained ST dps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rheingold Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Druid, paladin and ranger for me. Or I might go druid, paladin and chanter. Would be one of those options though. Or maybe druid,paladin and monk. Yup definitely one of the above.... All though monk, paladin and chanter would rock. But, yeah one of those combos would be great...... Oh hell, who am I kidding.... Druids, rangers, paladins, monks, chanters, barbs and rogues and I'm supposed to pick 3? Can't choose 6, 3 aint gonna happen.... 1 "Those who look upon gods then say, without even knowing their names, 'He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction. She is Love.'

MaxQuest Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Monk+Cipher+pally sounds interesting. How would you build ur cipher?Hmm, probably something like 15/10/15/15/15/8, sabre+shield and switching to dual-wielding when Psychovampiric Shield is up. Later (when pala would get Reinforcing Exhortation), could ditch the shield altogether, and start with a blunderbuss/pistol opening, buff deflection and switch to dw.

Elric Galad Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Probably something like Druid + Monk + Chanter, the latter being a Drake Emissary. I think this 3 classes are very flexible and can do a lot of stuff. That would be a big advantage for a Trio run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 chanter tank, druid tank, wizard blaster Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderboss Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I would go Chanter for tanking and summons , wizard because they have all kinds of spells for every situation and can switch between tanking and blasting any time , and some kind of healer Edited March 24, 2016 by Blunderboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 With only three guys, a paladin with on-kill-effects like that Kind Wayfarer Healbot who was discussed in this forums might be really nice. 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeroer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Do it! I would also like to see a trio with some elemental background: like fire paladin, ice chanter and shock druid or something like that. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorftek Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I started a duo run with PC barbarian and Pallegina on normal, I had to put it on hard eventually because it was too easy. (Tidefall and high INT offensively built barbarian was apparently really OP) If I was to play these on POTD with another follower I'd probably add a Cipher with Tall Grass Edited March 24, 2016 by Dorftek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Darkholme Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've done a full vanilla PotD run with pala, fighter, cipher, the fighter wasn't that good. The ideal 3 char party is what I'm running thru WM2 right now Pala, Chanter + Cipher. On Level 15 this party is pretty much unstoppable cause mindweb + DR chant.

Blades of Vanatar Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Druid, Ranger, Ranger. All same AC/Shift animal type. Maybe theme animal type to player choices for poop's n giggles. Wolves for Aggressive, Stag for Honest, etc... Shock damage being obvious choice. 1 No matter which fork in the road you take I am certain adventure awaits.

Wolves for Aggressive, Stag for Honest, etc... Shock damage being obvious choice. Very nice. I was thinking of a primal theme with Barbarian, Druid and Ranger. Since both Druid and Ranger can flex between melee and range it gives some nice options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Three high DR Chanter tanks with the Damage Shield chant and Ancient Memory, Beloved Spirits and Veteran's Recovery and summons are also near to invulnerable. If you time it right, the next fresh damage shield will replace the worn out one, so most of the times grazes just don't get through. Any other damage will get healed instantly by your regeneration. Fights take some time, but you never loose. I cleared Crägholt Bluffs for testing purposes with that setup and only rested once I think. Doesn't work against dragons, but mobs are without chances.

Boeroer Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 You can always switch to other chants - for example that one that eats dragons. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Darkholme Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Not saying you can't beat a dragon with 3 chanters, since you can beat him with 1, but if you switch to another chant you lose survivability. A mindweb party has 3x paladin defense. The paladin could already beat the dragon on it's own, but specifically the cipher makes a huge difference here, it's basically 1x or a maximum of 2x disintegrates and the dragon is dead.

Boeroer Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yeah - Defensive Mindweb is a bit strong maybe. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Darkholme Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yeah - Defensive Mindweb is a bit strong maybe. It's strong but I think it's ok. First of all it's a level 15 ability, but my main reason for liking this ability is, it makes playing a tank more accessible for everyone, amny people have problems protecting their squishies and if I fight the monks in WM2 I had to use super cheesy tactics to keep my 3 con 3 res cipher alive which also resulted in me not having acces to the ciphers damage for the first half of the fight. If I had mindweb they probably wouldn't even have gone for the cipher and if they did it would have been Echo and bye. I never have this problem fighting other mobs but I have read so often how people struggle with this, so I think it's a great addition to the game. 1 My twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/victorcreed_twitch My youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/VictorCreedGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limaxophobiacq Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) 3 priests, because priests are cool goddamnit. You'd have to rest a lot early game with how much Iconic Projection you'll be spamming but once you hit level 7 you're on easy street.
