adamarama posted:Im gonna make my PC a rogue/cipher. I'm gonna go with beguiler but what rogue subclass works best? Stealth seems poor so assassin is out. And the trickster downside seems too much. Street fighter seems ok? Am I missing anything? Street Fighter is the worst of the bunch for beguilers. I tried assassin/beguiler in the beta and it was very strong, one of the strongest builds I tried. The Assassinate bonus gives you (among other things) +25 accuracy, and it can apply to non-weapon abilities including Cipher deception powers. If you do decide to go with an assassin/cipher (or any other spellcaster) multiclass, then keep in mind that you need very high Dex and Int (around 18 in both) in order finish casting spells before the invisibility from Smoke Veil runs out.

Oo Koo posted:Why don't wizards get quick switch/deep pockets? There's no way to make a bookworm nerd wizard specialized in juggling a massive stack of spellbooks without multiclassing, and even with multiclassing you can only get one or the other. Since quick switch is a fighter exclusive and deep pockets is a rogue exclusive. No deep pockets, but grimoire switching has a very very very short cool down, just enough to make a single weapon attack before you go back to casting spells basically. I don't think quick switch affects grimoires anyway.

Are there poe1 reactivity bugs other than from imported saves? I made a custom save and picked the ending where Eder ends up as mayor of Dyrford, and sure enough he had a medallion in his inventory confirming that, but then I asked him what he did after the first game's ending and he said that he went to Aedyr??

Subjunctive posted:No seriously, how am I supposed to get close enough to land an Assassinate hit from stealth? I’m on the verge of rerolling out of Assassin because I can’t figure out how to use the subclass ability. It’s only once per fight too, unless invisibility becomes cheap and common... Try approaching from behind, or you can alternatively have the rest of the party initiate combat so you can use Escape to teleport near an enemy and murder them before you get noticed. Obviously, you'll want high stealth either way (I hope you multiclassed!)

Captain Scandinaiva posted:It seems chants aren't working, at least not for multiclassed Pallegina. They're active but the little scrollbar isn't showing any songs, nothing in the combat log and her phrases don't go up. Is this a bug or do chants work differently from 1 (e.g. being interrupted by using paladin abilities)? Try deleting her default chant and see if that fixes it.

Agnosticnixie posted:They don't; Zealous Focus and Warrior stances get overwritten by Needle Strike. The only accuracy buff that stacks is Aware because it's +Per rather than +Accuracy. Modals suppress other modals, other accuracy buffs should still work (it still sucks since weapon modals come with their own drawbacks anyway)

Heithinn Grasida posted:I’m going to quote something I posted on the official forums specifically about soul blade. I’m not saying cipher is super strong or soul annihilation is amazing, just that the melodrama is unjustified. Cipher is clearly in need of changes and most of its spells need to be stronger. Soul annihilation was quite possibly nerfed a little too much. But I think the math just doesn’t support saying soul annihilation is pointless. Does the accuracy buff also stack with other accuracy buffs?

Subjunctive posted:That’s a pretty bad way to design around that problem, vs clearly explaining what the features do. A simple button labeled “challenges” that takes you into the display would be much better. The UX for Berath’s blessings is pretty clumsy too though, so I’m not really surprised. (And the fact that you can’t make a new history during the intro, really.) Clearly labeling things never stopped dumb people.

Avalerion posted:What makes full attacks so op as is? It's mainly that you make two attacks with no recovery in between. The best solution would be to make full attacks made with other weapon styles do something cool.

Sylphosaurus posted:Is alchemy and explosives worth investing into in this game? I was thinking about trying out a Witcher kind of character but I´m not sure how well explosives scale later in the game. This is from my experience with two characters each having 20+ in one of the skills. Alchemy: some potions can be really useful, assuming you actually remember to use them, others hardly serve any purpose. Poisons on the other hand are kind of terrible because for some reason they gain less accuracy and penetration than other consumables do from their respective skills. Explosives: end up disappointing when it comes to damage, so for the most part they are best used for their secondary effects. Unfortunately, most require you to hit twice in order to apply a status effect (once vs reflex and once vs fortitude), so they can feel unreliable. At any rate, both are vastly inferior to Arcana and scrolls in every way because CASTER SUPREMACY

Avalerion posted:Are two handed weapons actually worth it? Getting the feeling the speed from dual wielding trumps everything else, though maybe just need to find the really good weapons to make two handed builds work. Two handed weapons are good. They have higher penetration than one handed weapons, not to mention that dual wielding full attacks got nerfed so they're not as overwhelming as they used to be.

While others recommended dual damage type weapons, keep in mind that all characters automatically gain unarmed proficiency, so you can just pick Unarmed Monastic Training + any non-crush damage weapon, and that would give you access to multiple damage types.
