Is Cantor viable?

[Tsukuyomi0101]

Just got PoE2 and was looking through the classes, and something about a Skald/Shattered Pillar sounded interesting to me. Is it viable?

If not, what are some viable Chanter multiclasses?

Yes. You want high perception. Then I would focus on Might>Dex>int. I wouldnt recommend dumping either con or resolve. In faxt I would try to keep resolve above 10 since you don't gain wounds from being hit.

 

Upgrade swift strike to swift flurry so that when you crit you get a potential extra attack. Since Skald's have a 50% chance to gain a phrase on critical hits this meshes well together.

 

I like using one handed weapons for the extra accuracy to increase crit chance. However, dual wielding works great too. There is a great Chanter oriented Sabre called Sasha's Singing Sabre, and you can get it pretty early. I'd also grab flails if you want to use invocations like Thrice was she wronged because the flail modal debuffs the enemy Reflex save. Clubs do the same for Will. Then you can grab a ranged weapon if you like. Or just use your fists.

 

Invocations: Hel Hyraf decreases enemy deflection, and that means you crit more. Killers froze stiff paralyzed, and that means you crit more. The bride caught their.. Invocation fully upgraded gives you brilliant inspiration which gives +1 class resource per 3 seconds for 30 seconds. This means you can be real spammy with both monk abilities and invocations for burst. Those all are the clutch invocations for this combo or a Rogue/Chanter DPS IMHO.

 

Monk abilities you can sort of do what you want that works well with Shattered Pillar.

 

Also, Swift Strikes and that late game Chanter buff (The bride) proc the Nature Godlike's Wellspring of Life. This gives your abilities +2 power levels. So, it's a good choice. Most other races would work well enough, though.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be viable.  Fists are fast so they'd be good for getting crits, just favor perception.  I think it'd be pretty fun too once you get dragon thrashed, it'd be like a fire monk with shouts.
