Maxzero Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) One idea I have been messing around with is a Berzerker/Wizard. Basically your Fury plus Spirit shield is +5 armour. Once you get to level 4 you get Thick Skinned and Bulwark for +6 armour versus physical and +10 for elemental damage. Throw in all the long lasting Deflection buffs, Expose and Merciless Gaze for -2 pen and +15 hit to crit (45% total). Late ron it gets stupid with Llengrad;s safeguard. Get the sword to stop confusing and then you can use the AoE fear spells to perma terrify everyone around you. well I think its overkill, also you are trading that much resources into redundant defences rather than damage and utility, and you need to buff all the time at start of the combat, but thats not a problem with ai scripts tho The thing is I am literally devoting one level 1 spell and one level 2 spell to get the 14 and 18 armour. Both have almost no cast time and no recovery. The pair of them have the same total cast time as Rage. Everything else is offence with extra armour pen, accuracy and crits. Barbarian's weakness is being targetted and killed. With this setup you are basically unkillable from level 4 (minor regen to cover the chip damage). Once you fix the Friendly fire problem you can perma AoE fear the enemy and kill them while they can't fight back. The best thing is it does not look like it's under nerf attention like Beckoners and Swift Flurry. Edited May 16, 2018 by Maxzero
MadDemiurg Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 My tier list: Broken - Chanter, Monk Almost broken - FIghter, Paladin Maybe ok - Rogue, Barbarian, Druid Somewhat meh - Priest, Ranger From meh to broken - Cipher, Wizard (start weak, end up broken) Some lower tier classes still have a lot of merit when multiclassing e.g. ranger.

Maxzero Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Tenacious and spirit shield won't stack. Well damn. Still get +1 armour though for 11 with fine Medium. With Thick Skinned thats 12 physical armour. Bulwark gives 13 elemental. Still enough to give -75% damage reduction.

divjak Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Tier 2.5/Really Good If You Build Around It) Barbarian. I feel like Berserker needs to go here, but my experiences with it haven't been as exciting as I had originally hoped. An Orlan Devoted/Berserker using Barbaric Smash has 100% crit conversion and a ton of bonus crit damage, but not being able to see my own HP / degening health is irritating, and carnaging my allies limits who I can put near them. That said, the reliable crits are really good for high auto-attack damage and proccing On-Crit abilities like Quick Flurry or weapons that apply afflictions or bonus damage on Crit. The other two subclasses are totally forgettable or actively self-defeating. well, its not hard to find items with resistance to intellect afflictions, so confusion issue becomes irrelevant, or multiclassing with fighter, there is a passive for that

Xoti as priest/monk is pretty unkillable and has 20 accuracy buff for everyone, and a beefy summon , Maia as a pure ranger is a devastating crit machine that can dispell anbody, and can't be caught in melee..

Caeyrii Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Way to early for me to reply here, lol. At this rate I'll play every combination to level 10 and never finish the game. Devoted/pillar and nature godlike pillar are both fun, effective, and strong. Paladin/troubadour is all kinds of strong too. Paladin(Darcozzi/Chanter(Troubadour) is exactly what I'm planning for my first big, major playthrough. How are you playing him? Planning on 12/10/10/16/16/14 front-line de/buffer. I know the stats aren't optimal, could sack RES to get better MIG but it's how I roleplay. I could make the split to 15/10/10/14/15/14 for a safer bet but I'm really leaning on the first one.

Yeah I can see that Tekehu is so damn strong as Dr/Cha tho, you get regen and life steal chants, heal and res from invocations, moonlight, moon well, and nature balm to name a few Also the summon he gets at level 1 druid is just plain insane, since it knocks with every strike Also infestation of maggots is much better in Deadfire than POE1, since its area is so much larger, that rarely you will not get everyone with it, and that spells just accelerates DPS for everyone Edited May 16, 2018 by divjak

Oh I agree. Comparing late power is kinda redundant because just like PoE 1 its the early game thats the challenge. Speaking of which with the level scaling working in the beta that construct has 48 deflection in PotD. My perception 20 Berzerker was missing quite well. I wonder if buffed PotD is going to go back to it's roots with accuracy being king? Edited May 16, 2018 by Maxzero

Also I rate Single Class Monk bottom tier simply because I can't beat the Xaurips you find in the forest directly after leaving the zone your ship crashes. That's my benchmark as I'm still deciding on what class to play, I'm playing everything up to a certain point, a few hours worth - But the ol' monk can't even get past this fight, so bottom tier. 1

Doesn't level scaling means that mobs scale to your current level, if selected to all, and with the option only scale up it scales only enemies that are lower level than yours You add accuracy to your roll and reduce the score by enemy deflection, so that means you just need to roll higher, but i think that just boosting stats to make game harder, is a lazy approach Edited May 16, 2018 by divjak 1

I dont think level scaling makes game harder, actually if put to scale all, it arguably makes game easier, its basically like in vanilla skyrim, everyone is at your level, you could go into area that is hard in vanilla, and monsters there would be scaled down. If for instance you would do quests and battles without level scaling in such way that you do them at right time and sequence that match your current level, it would be the same as if you had level scaling on Level scaling is for people who wont to have constant difficulty that matches their level while going in places they whish to go, more sandboxy, and only scale up is for people who missed some fights at low level, and to not make them trivial later on Edited May 16, 2018 by divjak 1

So just by that alone the game will be harder once this patch comes out this week. The patch after that is when they will scale up the difficulty of PotD. Just from playing on the beta patch I can feel the extra stats on scaled up mobs. It feels like there will be a significant boost in enemies defences. I dont think level scaling makes game harder, actually if put to scale all, it arguably makes game easier, its basically like in vanilla skyrim, everyone is at your level, you could go into area that is hard in vanilla, and monsters there would be scaled down. If for instance you would do quests and battles without level scaling in such way that you do them at right time and sequence that match your current level, it would be the same as if you had level scaling on Level scaling is for people who wont to have constant difficulty that matches their level while going in places they whish to go, more sandboxy, and only scale up is for people who missed some fights at low level, and to not make them trivial later on But it will be harder then now because if you do a lot of side content you will 100% outlevel content and there is no way to scale it up. How many people know the 'correct' event order now? Hardly anyone I would say. 1
PIP-Clownboy Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 snip well, its not hard to find items with resistance to intellect afflictions, so confusion issue becomes irrelevant, or multiclassing with fighter, there is a passive for that Have you tested this? I think this confusion is hardcoded. I gave my Berserker both immunity and resistance to intellect afflictions via various sources and noticed that he was still carnaging my allies... I personally have tested it plenty. There are numerous ways to make sure confusion never pops on frenzy. Post a pic of your combat log if you need clarification 1
