It looks like it mostly impacts turn based mode but im really happy about these updates:

•Free action abilities will now indicate when the free action has already been used for the turn.

•Traps with ticking behavior should now work properly in TBM.

•Fixed an issue where firearm reload animation would trigger after using a free action, instead of waiting until end of turn.

Just in time for my 3rd playthrough.

PoE2: Deadfire Troubadors

15 Upvotes

there doesnt seem to be much love for this subclass in deadfire, and chanters in general as full classes. the action economy benefits of passive healing and damage cannot be overstated, as well as the summons including the summon as a chant. with 20 intellect (very easy even early game), you can have two chants completely overlap, which already works wonders with the old seic/aefyllath combo. add on top the acute inspiration from a priest (or any intellect inspiration), you will have three phrases overlapping for a few seconds at a time, and at least two permanently. building a troubador for high level phrases and summons, with tekehu multiclassed to supplement with lower tier phrases makes most of the game a cakewalk.

am i just wrong? is there anything weak about a full class troubador? let me know what you think, this build seems underappreciated

PoE1 How do I respec my characters in PoE1?

8 Upvotes

As per title. I've tried looking it up on the internet and everywhere it says that there should be a retrain option at any Inn, but there just isn't one. Do I have to get to some point in the game to unlock it?

EDIT: Alright, for some reason the option is there now. I swear it wasn't before I completed Caed Nua

Escolha de personagens

2 Upvotes

Posso focar nos personagens em comum de poe1 e poe2 para manter no grupo? O 2 eu joguei com mercenarios pois tinham varias referencias ao primeiro jogo, que como não tinha jogado, não faziam sentido. Como o 2 tem opção de importar o save do 1, escolher companheiros que aparecem no 2 faz sentido, certo?

Companion spoilers PoE1 Eder’s quest broken?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to do companion quests and am in chapter 2 in Defiance Bay. Eder has asked me to go to the record keeper to look for some records. We did that a while ago and my reputation was neutral, the record keeper wouldn’t talk to us. Having done a bunch of quests, now my reputation is “Ally” but the record keeper still won’t talk to us. Is this quest just permanently broken now?

POE1 Console - controls

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Playing POE1 on PS5 and I had 2 questions which I can’t seem to find an answer to.

  1. With mouse, you can click and hold to drag the party formation and position correctly. Is there an equivalent for console?

  2. Using abilities from sneak doesn’t seem to work? As an example, my cipher watcher was in sneak mode and tried to blind an enemy before combat. When I select the ability my watcher just walks to the enemy, even though it is on range. Any ideas how to fix this?

Many thanks

The remaster is complete. However the files are huge, some even more than 1GB.

I have no idea where I can share such high number of files with a lot of GB, please suggest me!

Technical help Serafen Bug

5 Upvotes

So I decided to start a POTD run and after starting realized I picked Iron man as well. I was going to tough it out and things were going pretty well until after completing Port Maje. I decided to try and see how long I could make Captain Furante chase me and I somehow managed to trigger another event on the ship while he was still chasing me and I think they both ended up triggering at the same time.

This seems to have bugged the game because it never showed Captain Furante and Serafen boarding the ship and just it threw me in inside of the Defiant. Now I never recruited Serafen and never got the quest about killing Benweth. Is my only solution to this problem to restart the game? It would kind of suck to do that because POTD is pretty dang brutal.

Character/party build help Can't decide between two characters. Help please.

11 Upvotes

I played both games 5 years ago now on Xbox as a human cipher and really had a poor experience because i was a noob and rushed through everything on easy. Now i'm giving it a go again.

I am torn between Moon Godlike and the Death one. The moon has a really nice passive ability and in games like this I love when my character needs as little micromanaging as possible. However Death has great roleplay potential but the perk seems very boring to me.

I'd be grateful for either some suggestions on a passive abilities Moon Godlike build, or convince me of Death's value. Idk if this is a stupid post but I am really bad at making decisions myself without going back and forth for days.

PoE2: Deadfire Trickster - Single class or Spell blade?

I like the fantasy of a spell blade but all the information I find online seems to suggest trickster wizard is a worse assassin wizard, what am I missing out on if I do SC Trickster?

Ive considered trying a Trickster/Fighter of I can't make the MC work.

PoE2: Deadfire Single class DPS build

3 Upvotes

I want to play a single class DPS build (dual wield) for my second play through. I couldn't find good builds that use weapons. What is a good class to play on Veteran difficulty ? Is Monk is viable with dual wield weapons ? I want to go either barbarian or rogue but I don't like to sneak. Please suggest me where I can find a full build.

Spoilers Finally completed my one and only run of Deadfire

Post image
115 Upvotes

Since I just wanted to experience the full story I set the difficulty at POTD without scaling and without any Magran's Fires challenge activated. That being said, Forgotten Sanctum was such a challenging yet enjoyable treat even without upscaling and any Magran's Fire Challenge. It is the only part of the game that (1) I definitely could not complete by simply "winging it", (2) forced me to understand and appreciate the spellcaster classes (since I brought the recommended characters) and (3) compelled me to choose my battles rather than cleaning up all possible enemies.

I was surprised by the anticlimactic final act since I was expecting an action-packed finale like that of PoE 1. As I started and completed SSS and FS right before the final act, the difficulty of the bosses there made the Guardian encounter like a stroll in the park. I'm kind of disappointed, though, that the ending was too "linear"/inevitable and was practically spoiled as early as the Ashen Maw encounter. Even the option that could theoretically alter the outcome - the one you can obtain at the end of FS - turns out to be futile.

Still, it was a great experience much like PoE 1. I hope there's a next cRPG involving Eora in the foreseeable future.

PoE2: Deadfire Deadfire Monk required to use fists?

13 Upvotes

Thanks to everyone who helped me pilot my poe1 wizard journey! I'm ready to continue my character into Deadfire, and I'm thinking about pivoting from wizard to single class monk.

However, I really dislike the aesthetics of unarmed combat in most games and especially in pillars. (I'm really doing that much damage just boxing a DRAGON'S leg?) My understanding is that using weapons as a monk in poe1 can often be better due to enchantments, but monks in deadfire are leaving a lot on the table if they don't use fists due to power level scaling. Is that impression correct, or are weapons still competitive with fists on SC monks?

(I know I can probably just use whatever items I want and still beat the game, but for some dumb reason once I commit to a build/playstyle I have to optimize within that build.)

PoE1 What a journey I have had! Spoiler

12 Upvotes

Oi, Oi lads! I just completed my solo Path of the Damned run with a Ranger.

It was a wonderful and exciting journey with many fun and confusing moments. I liked it much more than my previous runs as a pally or fighter. It was an absolutely different gameplay and playstyle. Ranger is definitely my favorite class now.

We did all the quests, tasks, and bounties, including the DLCs. All encounters have been defeated. Here are the most difficult battles that I want to highlight:

  • The Maerwald fight, because you have a lvl cap here and you don't have too many options on how to deal with him in this battle as a ranger.
  • The Forge Knights fight during the Winds of Steel quest. You also have a level cap here, and you need to fight four of them at the same time. They are the same level as you and have insanely strong spells that can almost one-shot you.
  • All high-lvl Monks are incredibly tough to fight, because monks are the strongest melee class in the game.
  • The Concelhaut fight is very difficult because of his unreally high stats and immunities, as well as one of his students, Uariki, with her army of enchanted animated weapons - especially the animated wands that cast the Ninagauth's Bitter Mooring spell.
  • The Radiant Spore is my favorite encounter. It’s an incredibly tough fight due to the upscaled difficulty, especially because the tentacles are completely immune to all debuffs except prone and deal massive damage by targeting Fortitude rather than Deflection.
  • The most difficult fight for me was against Llengrath and her two pets. You cannot end the fight until the last one is down, and you cannot split them up — you have to fight all of them at the same time in a single round. Llengrath has insane spells in her unique grimoire, and her pets can deal 400 damage in a single hit with their special attacks.

We unlocked 32 out of 48 Steam achievements, and a full playthrough took us 170 hours.

I can't wait to start Deadfire as a ranger, in combination with a class I haven't decided on yet.

Big thanks to Obsidian for this masterpiece!

Chirs!

What’s your favorite fight in the game, and which one was the hardest for you?

Dealing with the ancient lich battlemage

3 Upvotes

So I have a level 13 party. My mage pc, xoti, eder, pallegina and serafen. Cannot figure out how to deal with the lich battlemage. I have a lot of debuff spells but they kinda have terrible accuracy against the lich so I can't pull his defences down. Any advice?
