I get that this is *your* build, but it's frustrating to see so many powergamers always going for Bleakwalker Pallies, and not seeing any pally or pally MC builds based on pally orders other than Bleakwalkers. Some of us just aren't interested in playing what are, in effect, evil paladins.
The only problem (for me) with this build its the fact that you need to be "Cruel or Aggressive" and mostly of my reactions are "Benevolent or Diplomatic". So, Faith and Conviction turn up to be hard to keep up. Amazing guide btw!!! 🎉🎉🎉
That is completely correct. Although Kind Wayfarer might also be a good choice when playing with a party. The automatic heal from Flames of Devotion may even offset the damage you would deal when you have to heal with other paladin subclasses.
For gear, pick up "Helm of the Falcon" from the merchant on the beach of Crookspur. It gives -20% Recovery time with 2-handed melee weapons, and 20% of hits from enemy ranged weapons will convert to graze.
I really don't see why anyone would ever play anything besides an Inquisitor. You take the two most awesome classes in the game and combine them into something even more awesome.
I found the best weapon for this build is Whispers of the Endless Paths (also after nerf). Due its cone damage, you are going to get full focus with just one swing (presuming you hit at least 2 or 3 targets). Then, on the next attack, Soul Whip will be apply to all targets you hit with the weapon's cone. Now at level 15 it's like: Flame of Devotion applied to 2/3 targets, ~170 focus, weapon damage + around 150 soul whip damage to every foe in the cone, all dead!
If you're looking for suggestions on which builds to make; here's mine: Some kind of multiclass who's abilities combo in a synergistic way. The War Caller did it pretty well. The combo of aoe stun, dash through and proc aoe crits was very fun to play. However it got a little stale later on from doing the combo over and over. It was just so powerful there was no reason to use any other abilities. Very fun builds so far though, love the work you put into these. Thanks for taking the time to make these!
for anyone wondering, this build plays really well dual weilding daggers aswell, really tank tons of dmg and has healing, its a great jack of all trades
Very cool. I'm replaying Pillars of Eternity games, on the first one. Path of the Damned. Cipher. Early in the game, 20 int, 18 dex (2 from gloves, 1 from godlike), 12 might 10 in others. I know that means it doesn't do a lot of damage with weapons, but the flip side is that I hit hard with spells, increase duration cc from example 10 seconds to 15 seconds (this is huge!) and with the high dex I attack quite fast and since I'm using dual longswords I took the dual weapon talent for 20% faster attack speed. For future equipment I'll go for things that give might or perception as I don't think I really need more int or dex. Also I have Guan's Pledge (pre-order bonus) and focus athletics and survivability. This gives my Cipher some ways to heal as well in the first game. As well as extra 10% accuracy if I need it against type of enemy. I also hired a custom companion early on, a Bleak Walker. For off tanking with Eder and passive accuracy boost. So my party right now is Me as Cipher, Fighter, Bleak Walker, Priest, Wizard, Chanter(built as summoner) So far it's been working great, the only times I've died is when I clearly was out leveled by the enemies and weren't supposed to take them on yet, came back later the same day and kicked their ass lol. I know this was long but I love this franchise and get carried away xD
Love all the guides, made me a subscriber, hoping you’re going to go through all multi classes (I know it’s quite the tackle) as I’d love to see things like the holy slayer, sorcerer, etc. keep up the great content!
This build is already OP, but if you make it with dual sabres/dual pistols to take advantage of the Full Attack from Flames of Devotion, you will do so much damage you will cut through Path of the Damned like a hot knife through butter. Or do what I did and go sabre/dagger for the extra 10 deflection from dagger modal, which when combined with natural Paladin defenses from Faith and Conviction makes this powerhouse pretty tanky besides
For someone who annunciations so clearly your pronunciation choices are... fun. Ty again for a fun build. You should consider doing a mod review of the difficulty mod it seems to make the game a LOT more enjoyable. Vanilla is just way too easy, and if I was to request any build I would request something off-beat like Corpse Eater-Something that compliment's it well.
Inquisitor is what I rolled with for my first playthrough, deffo one of my favourite classes so far. Super effective and an easy multiclass where you're given a wealth of options but it's hard to pick things that will bork the setup
I've been running a nalpazca/corpse eater ravager as a nature godlike and it's been real fun i think fighter/rogue as a damage over time constant sneak attack/deathblows tank with high engagement setup would be really good or a bleak walker assassin for really good stealth damage especially if you bring a gun to backstab range and can get out safely
Great build and I pretty much only changed one thing. Instead of Walkers I took Kind Wayfarers because it's closer to how my character acts in the game. Because of this instead of lay on hands I picked the Sworn enemy. I traded a bit of dmg for some additional healing, not a problem since I always take Aloth with me and he, as a pure mage, deals alot of damage too. Eder is a tank and a door/chest opener.
Thinking of trying a similar build, but with kind wayfarer and being moon godlike and seeing how the healing will work on that. I know I lose out on helmets, but it's something I want to try
Awesome build. Wish I didn't have to be aggressive/cruel to be Bleak Walker, but I do understand for role-playing it is better that way. The other Paladin subclass abilities feel a bit meh in comparison
Really awesome guide. But please make the arquebus holy slayer build. The moment I saw your rogue video, got hooked on it. Also I want to make a ranged assassin, so should I take blunderbuss or pistol as my second weapon?
A build I'm currently using with my Inquisitor is essentially this, but dual wielding melee only. I found out that, when dual wielding, your Flames of Devotion will be cast on both weapons, giving you 2 casts of the spell for only 1 Zeal, and allowing you to attack twice in one go. At the point I'm at in my game, I've been able to either 1 or 2 shot most enemies just with Flames of Devotion alone. Mind you, I only went with this build when I found Modwyr halfway through my game. But c'mon, how could I *not* love her?
"Also covered our recommended Weapon, Abilities, Attribute and Race." Was actually looking for a race suggestion here :( I guess some dex race would be best here, but do you think there's a viable build that would make use of (death) Godlike here?
Thanks for video. I would like to see a comparison of cipher/rogue and wizard/rogue, please. First has more weapon damage and few but usefull abilities, which can be cast and replenished during the fight. Second has variety and less usefull passive abilities, also grimuar dependent. What is worse, wizard specialisation is a castration and it is a pain in the ass to find the grimuare of your dream. Also some analysis of sneak and stealth attack. If sneak attack works fine with all weapons, then stealth attacks are not so much. The stealth and invisibility do dissapear after the first attack, right? Does not that mean, that the best option for it is a hard hitting two-handed weapon? Shouldn't our rouges use two-handers then? Some cipher's debuffs can be used from the start for sneak attacks turning almost all attack in to sneaky ones. Rouge's abilities can be used for invisibility gainers, which are great for stealth attacks (the ones assasin has bonus for) and escaping from danger. Wizard just don't has that tipe of skills sinergy.
As I see it, Mindstalker is a supreme damage class, while Wizard/Rogue is mostly about CC: Ranged Assassin, for strong Alpha strike, followed up by spells, sounds possible. Wizard melee spells are mostly about protection, and e.g. a Wizard/Streetfighter combo (to make use of the supreme defenses) suffers at least on paper from the increased recovery times for spells. So, agreed, the synergies are probably not amazing. A safe, and very rogue`ish, MC with another caster class would be Priest of Skaen, though. - For the stealth attacks; that was indeed the meta in Baldur`s Gate 2. :D Nowadays, I guess that one often uses skills with Full Attacks (Finishing Blow, here we go...) instead, as two one-handed attacks are more than one two-handed. ;)
At least befor patch 1.1 there were some issues with abilities with full attack and attacks from stealth. First attack could be with bonus and the second one without it. Besides i did not get at that time what full attack abilities mean and you might not have one. Mindstalker is very interesting and powerfull class. I saw wizard/streetfighter guide and ... well it does not work that good really! At least in my experience. Wizard/fighter is more appealing to me. After Llengrath's Displaced Image's nerf it is not that good. Fighter, on the other hand, has more health, regen and buff abilities, that can be just as good as wizards spells. Combat mage is not a glass cannon, deals less damage, but survives where spellblade does not.
This was one of the 2 combinations I had been considering for my first playthru, gave me a Darkknight kind of vibe. Any chance anyone is working on doing a build guide for a Melee oriented 'Seer' ?
I liked the previous build but this one doesn't sounds super appealing to me, maybe just my personal taste I don't know. I can't see any particular synergy or special perk that this build would give over any other but the damage output seems very reliable for sure. I'd be curious to see more group scenarios in your videos too as most people play with a full party and builds for group and solo content are quite different most of the time.
Burst damage without stealth mechanics of rogue... it's great for killing enemy rogues and champions during boss fights. If i had to clear this game solo, i would go Rogue(trickster)/Monk(Nalpazca) and go for max armor and high accuracy... very vulnerable to spell damage. Maybe replace rogue with Fighter(Devoted) if i have a particular weapon in mind for high accuracy
I like to see a fast shooting bow assassin build ...with high penetration, critical strike, fast reloading time ...with some type of stealth mechanics , minimum micromanaging.
6 ปีที่แล้ว
If you go assassin you want high damage, not high rate of fire though...
people talk about flame of devotion being super strong.they dont know about hitting your enemy with soul annihilation with 100 focus. at least its not broken since it cost you all your focus
It's really too bad that some Cipher buffs like Valorous Echoes and Pain Block can't be cast on self. And I really don't like lowering resolve wince there are quite a few dialogue options that require good resolve.
6 ปีที่แล้ว +2
KingOfMadCows well unless you put stats in resolve, you still can't unlock those dialogues.. So why not lower it even more :-)
I want to see a guide for that poor sod on reddit who managed to take the multiclass combination of Trickster Rogue + Conjurer Wizard, which locked him out of using the Illusion spells from his Trickster subclass.
trickster illusionist works fine, you get one illusion spell every 2 rogue power levels, there are plenty of illusion spells plus transmutation/evocation.
This is an incredibly late comment…but would something like this work with kind wayfarers, the sun and moon flail, and that shield that also counts as an offhand?
I've noticed a lot of builds dumping Resolve. Is it not used for dialogue checks anymore? I remember in the first game it used to be your "Charisma" stat.
id probably rather take goldpact knight + sworn rival than lay on hands... why do you take draining over biting whip? do you think you need the additional focus? it seems due to the limited focus pool, it gets filled immediatly even with biting whip?
This looks like a very cool class But I read that going Bleak Walker basically means you have to be a dick to people or you get some debuffs or something? Can you confirm whether and how BW affects your dialogue choices?
Does the +5 armor rating from body-attunement have a longer duration than the foe debuff? If not, using it would require recasting it after every 2 attacks, no?
I see your paladin is the first class you picked so only 6 choices left for cipher. Everytime i pick paladin as first, the game takes cypher instead, really annoying. Xbox version here...
I think rpg division made a build for firearms. It involves equipping all your weapon slots with dual pistols and switching them out 4 times after each dual shot. Very powerful spike damage build.
You can test this out by having the Two-Handed passive and firing a shot into an enemy. mouse over the damage in the combat box and hold shift. It will tell you all the modifiers that benefitted your damage, and you will see Two-Handed listed there.
Essentially the way it works, is that higher Armor bonuses replace lower ones. Robust isn't removed, but instead the 2 Armor it provides is replaced by 5 from Body Attunement.
How would dual wielding work with this build. if I don't care about using ranged weapons at all at the start, using dual axes or something? Is there some mechanic that this hybrid has that favors 2 handers?
I've played a similar build with dual wielding, but I was a Kind Wayfarer. The Kind Wayfarer definitely favors dual wielding because the Flames of Devotion heal from their order procs twice with every use. I have found that with this I can pretty much skip Lay on Hands as Flames of Devotion plus the occasional heal from Xoti has kept my character alive through some pretty gnarly situations. I'm doubtful it beats the Bleak Walker's damage bonus but using this you can save zeal and talent points and just focus on sworn enemy -> nuke it down -> rinse and repeat.
Evirthewarrior sharpshooter/assassin with arquebus (war bow against skelies). raise acc and might to max, drop res. always start from stealth. kills most mobs in the first shot
tfw you have 200 hours played and all of your runs had 2 paladins in the party, have never used flames of devotion even to test it out...and someone says its one of the best in the game =(
just wanna add that for a party play Con is absolutly trash unless you wanna utilize some bloodied shenanigans of streetfighters.healing in a party gameplay is more viable that raw hp even my main tank has 7 Con and he never dies so you could definetly dump points from CON to Might or Perception or even resolve in a party.on a side note i want to give out my best range dps multiclass so far which consists of devoted and berserker with hunting bow as the devoted weapon.its pure carnage discipline strikes+frenzy+hunting bow modal makes you hit hard and super fast pair it with upgraded barbaric blow that refunds rage on kills with a death godlike race and u just killstealing anything that is at 25% let alone all the buffs you get after killing someone and the main downside of berserkers that makes your carnages attacks hit allies doesnt work on range weapons...
I don't think it's too weak. I was facerolling enemies solo on PotD with it before the patch. After the patch, I'm not, but it's still good. Flames of Devotion hits just about as hard and Soul Annihilation hits for half, which is still about enough to one shot enemies.
The build is still fine on my veteran play through with level scale up on. Not soloing tho. Question: They nerfed Body Attunement to 2 defense now. Should I still stick with it should I pick another cipher spell instead?

Was waiting for this.
Keep going your guides are really good.
As a Bleak Walker paladin, this sort of hybrid builds fits with the tenants of their oath...
...swift and merciless force.
Would be cool if you guys made a video on the fighter and cipher multiclass.
If you're looking for suggestions on which builds to make; here's mine: Some kind of multiclass who's abilities combo in a synergistic way. The War Caller did it pretty well.

Yeah. I'm dusting off the game and gonna actually try to finish it and I'm thinking of using this build but go two weapon instead of two handed

Great vid! Love to see more on the witch or tempest
I wouldn't mind a Holy Slayer guide! I picked that class for my first play through and I'm having a lot of fun so far
Nobody:
Fextralife: Stoyeek.
Love these multiclass guides! Keep them coming.
I've been running a nalpazca/corpse eater ravager as a nature godlike and it's been real fun i think fighter/rogue as a damage over time constant sneak attack/deathblows tank with high engagement setup would be really good or a bleak walker assassin for really good stealth damage especially if you bring a gun to backstab range and can get out safely
Guci build, I enjoyed every second of it ^^ I managed to get my hands on Devil of Caroc Breastplate + Sanguine Great Sword insane all that regen.
Great build and I pretty much only changed one thing. Instead of Walkers I took Kind Wayfarers because it's closer to how my character acts in the game. Because of this instead of lay on hands I picked the Sworn enemy.

Hooo boy, if you guys do a guide for every dual class combo...it's gonna take you a while.
Incredibly well done!
how good is this series? loving it. the class/multiclass depth in this game is radical
Awesome build. Wish I didn't have to be aggressive/cruel to be Bleak Walker, but I do understand for role-playing it is better that way. The other Paladin subclass abilities feel a bit meh in comparison
great video! hoping for your take on warlock (barbarian/wizard) aka the Rage Mage
Really awesome guide. But please make the arquebus holy slayer build. The moment I saw your rogue video, got hooked on it. Also I want to make a ranged assassin, so should I take blunderbuss or pistol as my second weapon?

Dam every time I think, this is it I can start the game. I watch another class video and I want to start over lol. I never going to finish this game.
Haha! I know how you feel! This is one of the reasons I make Builds. I just can't stop doing it...
there is a mod that unlocks the story characters subclasses on your character and hired characters creation. that gives you even more options.
I'd love to see a Transcendent build. :D
i feel liike kind wayfarer is a better subclass here. get rid of lay on hands for this build, just cast flames of devotion healing.
"Also covered our recommended Weapon, Abilities, Attribute and Race."
Was actually looking for a race suggestion here :(
I guess some dex race would be best here, but do you think there's a viable build that would make use of (death) Godlike here?
i would love to see a spellblade video (trickster/illusionist)
Thanks for video.
I would like to see a comparison of cipher/rogue and wizard/rogue, please. First has more weapon damage and few but usefull abilities, which can be cast and replenished during the fight.

people talk about flame of devotion being super strong.they dont know about hitting your enemy with soul annihilation with 100 focus. at least its not broken since it cost you all your focus
I know it may be redundant, but could you do a build on Paladin/ Fighter??
Harbinger, I love playing it. Do you?
Do Cantor Next! (Monk + Chanter)
It's really too bad that some Cipher buffs like Valorous Echoes and Pain Block can't be cast on self.
And I really don't like lowering resolve wince there are quite a few dialogue options that require good resolve.
KingOfMadCows well unless you put stats in resolve, you still can't unlock those dialogues.. So why not lower it even more :-)
Assasin/evoker is multiclass, that can oneshot encounter
Please do a Skaen Priest build ^_^ and a Mindstalker build
I want to see a guide for that poor sod on reddit who managed to take the multiclass combination of Trickster Rogue + Conjurer Wizard, which locked him out of using the Illusion spells from his Trickster subclass.
lmao that's funny af.
trickster illusionist works fine, you get one illusion spell every 2 rogue power levels, there are plenty of illusion spells plus transmutation/evocation.
I'd like to see some chanter multiclasses.
They already did, check out their War Caller video. Monk/Chanter build.
War + Chanter. Canter is Monk+Chanter
I would love to see tempest
This is an incredibly late comment…but would something like this work with kind wayfarers, the sun and moon flail, and that shield that also counts as an offhand?
I've noticed a lot of builds dumping Resolve. Is it not used for dialogue checks anymore? I remember in the first game it used to be your "Charisma" stat.
I would like to see an Oracle build (Cipher/Druid).
I see very little synergy in this class...?
It doesn't matter, it's for role play purposes.
id probably rather take goldpact knight + sworn rival than lay on hands... why do you take draining over biting whip? do you think you need the additional focus? it seems due to the limited focus pool, it gets filled immediatly even with biting whip?
Interesting... think I could use Poleaxe for the aditional engagement if I want to tank with this build? Thanks.
Anyone have experience with this class since the 1.1 beta patch? Just wondering how it holds up in Vet.
Yes , your momma
I giggled every time he said "stoy-yic." Spoiler: it's just like it sounds, stow-ic.
I'm not really sure what power levels do exaclty. It seems they don't affect most paladin abilities at all. Is this correct?
This looks like a very cool class But I read that going Bleak Walker basically means you have to be a dick to people or you get some debuffs or something? Can you confirm whether and how BW affects your dialogue choices?
Does the +5 armor rating from body-attunement have a longer duration than the foe debuff? If not, using it would require recasting it after every 2 attacks, no?
What about a cipher and ranger multi Class?
I see your paladin is the first class you picked so only 6 choices left for cipher. Everytime i pick paladin as first, the game takes cypher instead, really annoying. Xbox version here...
Any thoughts on Brute?
can anyone inform me what the shred spells are? is it the one's that do damage?
I want to see a dual firearms if that possible
I think rpg division made a build for firearms. It involves equipping all your weapon slots with dual pistols and switching them out 4 times after each dual shot. Very powerful spike damage build.
I was under the impression guns didn't benefit from 2-handed/dual wield/single handed. Was I given false information or is this video inaccurate?
You can test this out by having the Two-Handed passive and firing a shot into an enemy. mouse over the damage in the combat box and hold shift. It will tell you all the modifiers that benefitted your damage, and you will see Two-Handed listed there.
Does robust completly removed by Body attunement or just armor part?
Essentially the way it works, is that higher Armor bonuses replace lower ones. Robust isn't removed, but instead the 2 Armor it provides is replaced by 5 from Body Attunement.
Rogue + Cypher plz.
How would dual wielding work with this build. if I don't care about using ranged weapons at all at the start, using dual axes or something? Is there some mechanic that this hybrid has that favors 2 handers?
Two-Handed Style for increased damage, but no it can be played with dual-wield just fine.
I've played a similar build with dual wielding, but I was a Kind Wayfarer. The Kind Wayfarer definitely favors dual wielding because the Flames of Devotion heal from their order procs twice with every use. I have found that with this I can pretty much skip Lay on Hands as Flames of Devotion plus the occasional heal from Xoti has kept my character alive through some pretty gnarly situations. I'm doubtful it beats the Bleak Walker's damage bonus but using this you can save zeal and talent points and just focus on sworn enemy -> nuke it down -> rinse and repeat.
cipher and enchanter or priest and barbarian
Ultimate ranged DPS class?
Evirthewarrior sharpshooter/assassin with arquebus (war bow against skelies). raise acc and might to max, drop res. always start from stealth. kills most mobs in the first shot
tfw you have 200 hours played and all of your runs had 2 paladins in the party, have never used flames of devotion even to test it out...and someone says its one of the best in the game =(
just wanna add that for a party play Con is absolutly trash unless you wanna utilize some bloodied shenanigans of streetfighters.healing in a party gameplay is more viable that raw hp even my main tank has 7 Con and he never dies so you could definetly dump points from CON to Might or Perception or even resolve in a party.on a side note i want to give out my best range dps multiclass so far which consists of devoted and berserker with hunting bow as the devoted weapon.its pure carnage discipline strikes+frenzy+hunting bow modal makes you hit hard and super fast pair it with upgraded barbaric blow that refunds rage on kills with a death godlike race and u just killstealing anything that is at 25% let alone all the buffs you get after killing someone and the main downside of berserkers that makes your carnages attacks hit allies doesnt work on range weapons...
How should I adjust this build post patch 1.1.0? I’m halfway into the game and the patch totally nerfed this build.
Sadly there really isn't anything you can do. All the abilities for it still work, they just aren't as good.
Would you say it's still viable though?
I love the flavor and roleplay potenetial with this build but if it's too weak that's a real shame...
I don't think it's too weak. I was facerolling enemies solo on PotD with it before the patch. After the patch, I'm not, but it's still good. Flames of Devotion hits just about as hard and Soul Annihilation hits for half, which is still about enough to one shot enemies.
The build is still fine on my veteran play through with level scale up on. Not soloing tho.
Question: They nerfed Body Attunement to 2 defense now. Should I still stick with it should I pick another cipher spell instead?
Fanatic is a similar animal
Can you please create a wizard Druid and call it a Shaman.
The game calls the combination of Barbarian and priest a Shaman; Druid and wizard is called a Sorcerer.
06:05 Yes Please Cx
Man… they really nerfed Paladin into the ground, huh?
