sHe iS sO gReAt. :roll:


Bro. She's one of the best frontliner in the game. Have her reach level 5 for Dex on damage and rack some Crit extension. Once she unlocks Enemies' Bane, prepare yourself for hundreds of damages in chapter one.


Edit: Go Loremaster for Improved Improved Critical with no need for prereq. that's important!


Small spoiler for the Trickster path. Dis gonna be gud:

i watched youtube videos, respected MC and Nenio and breezed through Wintersun
but it just feels so wrong I can't do it, it's cheating and it's breaking the characters I was building for 110 hours
I decided to clear some other locations first since I almost have 11 and will try to unfuck my situation instead
I'll better fucking abandon the playthrough altogether but I just can't respec

Though most of the companions are meh, I have to admit that I rather like Regill and Ember. Regill is a pragmatic and resolute guy with zero patience for the feelings of others, which is rather refreshing. And Ember is kind yet not weak, and is really good at unintentionally (?) roasting others.

I'm still on the fence as far as Daeran is concerned. All the other companions I've met are boring me.

I haven't met Arushe... Aruasha... the succubus girl yet. And though I've met Greybor (he seems okay), I haven't been able to recruit him yet.

The more I read Ember's lines, the more I want her to be able to sit in front of the Solaire guy in the cave where you pick up Regill.

Solaire sitting in front of Ember(s). :P

Probably won't happen. That would require imagination, and stuff. But hey... I'm allowed to imagine it in my head, if it doesn't happen. :)

Greybor is that typical guy who loves to roleplay as the party's badass despise sucking hard compared to pretty much everyone else.
BRUH LMAO, he runs into a fucking dragon like “Yea I got this” and dies in 2 hits, if that’s supposed to be a joke it’s pretty funny

In case the rate spamming and the post from some of you are more than memes and there's some true convinction that Cam is somehow lacking. Here's the deal:

Pardon, but I had to reload an earlier save, can't be arsed to engineer a perfect condition, just bear with me if interested. Otherwise carry on with your half assed builds. This is Level 10, AC is not fully buffed, iirc she could still use a magical vestment (Shield).
Before the build is complete, I'll probably lower the crit range 1-2 more and definitely take crit focus. If you don't consider this a top notch frontliner, 'gratz you cannot into math.

Each new day it's harder and harder to launch game. Chapter 3 was a slog, chapter 4 i don't enjoy much either - not interested in all that demon shit because i usually play as a good character and city itself is a cancer. I liked more focused approach of first two chapters.
It's possible the game is taking longer to read all your savegames' metadata at launch. This used to happen in PKM too.

Ok that is pretty impressive I can't lie. I'm guessing that 1 level dip in Loremaster is something I should look into as well. Maybe I will respec her if I can get stats like this out of her then I will quit whining. :D 39 AC tho... how'd you manage that w/o buffs?

That's WITH buffs, mind you. But fug bro, buffs are part of her frickin class, use them!


edit: I said she's not FULLY buffed ;)


edit 2: there's really no point in going shaman 19, I'd say go Loremaster 3 for a second secret, much better

Cameilla is trash, I just got an animal companion for tanking+another party member who has better utility, who needs her lol ? Didn’t use her for Drezen nor any time afterwards.

Matalarata what Secret did you pick with that Loremaster level?

Anyway, on the subject of Camellia: I don't really like using her as a "tank", mainly because I vastly prefer having a Cleric in my group and her list overlaps with it too much (she brings Barkskin, but I rarely adventure without an Alchemist or a Druid, so that's not a problem). So far, my best "tanks" have been my MC's horse (which indirectly also protects another character while mounted), an Alchemist Woljif, and a Bard Seelah. Camellia seems to me like a bit of a waste: her curses are useful, but I already have Ember and I'd prefer having Sosiel with Nobility and Community as Impossible Domains; her crits are good, but otherwise her damage isn't impressive and everyone's crits can be good in this game; her spells list is full of good stuff, but so is Sosiel's. She just doesn't bring anything unique enough to the table to justify her presence in a party of 6 characters.

I just turn on TB for world map to cheese encounters otherwise it’ll be a instawipe cause you can’t buff.

Improved Improved Improved Critical (Rapier) ofc


For those that do the same ...go with the one with 3x imp, it's better.

As for the rest of your post NJClaw, she's actually my tertiary tank, my main two are my pc, which is even more impressive ( should post screenie, mebbe) and my druid animal companion. Cam is excellent in defense but her damage depends on short duration buffs like Divine Power (of which you get A LOT thx to abundant casting) so I reserve those for hard fights. Ymmv.

I hardly need heals, even with my juiced difficulty I have 100+ CLW potions and never had to buy or craft. Cam and Druid reserve level 1 slots for heals and that's pretty much it. Do use soothing mud instead of lesser restoration, to alleviate that, if you need a bit more.

Will do later, but it's nothing special for those that know the system, really. Vivisectionist is a broken class that should have never seen the light of day.
