It is supposed to be fire. He even yells it when he goes to the last form.
You needed to have someone tanking him? When I "fought" him he didn't even get any attacks in before my Bard hit him with Fascinate followed by an Overwhelming Grief.
Uh, that's where you get the *pretty awesome* quest reward. Seems non-non-obvious that when you do a quest you go get the reward.
KM really isn't designed to be OCDed or you'll end up hitting Skip Day 237 times like I did last time. Just roll with the punches and rebuild. You've got plenty of tools and time. Learning what not to do is part of design for replayability.
BubbleBuff is a much better solution than blowing your Mythics on something that doesn't really kick in until after you need it.
In Vanilla you would have had to nerf your build pretty badly to tank him (which of course drove a lot of MMOers apoplectic with rage) but in CotW Harrim gets what he needed naturally from his class, with help (that he didn't turn out to need) from the Difficulty Scaling Mod (I think). I do know that in Vanilla Unfair with Linzi Fascinate had about a 25% chance of landing and it's a choice of that or Dirge + Shatter or Courage. Grief likewise is low chance of getting there unless you've applied Touch of Chaos with Harrim and gotten him at least Shaken.
CotW added Persistent Spell. If you use that you'll might see your save-or-suck spells hit a lot more often.
Bruh, I don't even bother with the feats. You can get a Lesser Persistent rod from the crazy magic lady at the capital for like 10k gold.
All trade agreements only work if you do it early. You have about 4-5 years before the endgame. Of course, the last year or so, BP is meaningless as you are likely to have upgraded everything, so it is really up to you if you want to be a completionist or not. I personally had all of the trade agreements up and running except the Galt one (the one where you get BP when you are in a state of unrest, since I don't let my kingdom go below the starting level, and it spent 90% of its time in Serene).
I don't recall any multipliers for stuff like this. I'm also not sure whether trade agreement BP income gets cut in half by your taxation payments to brevoy early game, if so then they are even worse. I think they avoid it though.
I left Kineticists for subsequent playthroughs. You've got enough on your plate at first without learning a whole different kind of class that also doesn't benefit from most of the items and feats in the game.
This is an accurate simulation of having too many plates spinning at once, which comes inevitably with managing a Kingdom. Once you understand the Curse timing it's at worst a minor inconvenience.
Glibertarianism is a mental disorder. (You get to Serene via tax cuts)
