Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

Other thing. Played a bit more. Why no one mentioned Muatu's Aid and the Summon Drake enchantment in a DLC sword? It made getting to the fire dragon solo as Psion much easier. Didn't got the Summon Drake sword yet. But now I think that I can solo the game + DLCs in PoTD with my pure RP build.

Haplo dunno why you're facepalming me Hap, you can clearly see him doing it at 7:30. It's cheesy as fuck and requires 0 skill. I'm not impressed.

I'm not really facepalming you, I'm facepalming the Strand of Favor abuse.

Oh right

Thinking in doing a Soul Blade PotD solo run. It will be easier than my Psion run? Where I can find a good melee weapon early on?

With Chanter access for constanst supply of fresh bodies, I really like Grave Calling, though I've used it on an Ascendant. Can be bought or better yet, stolen, really early.
Upgrade with Chilling Fog on vessel kill and Paralyse on damage (after 10 stacks). Yes, this works also for Chilling Fog aoe procs :D
Furthermore since the origin of Chilling Fog is a weapon, it also replenishes your Focus as it ticks the Cold aoe.
Though you mention solo. Damn.

I guess something like Sun & Moon + shield combo is the standard? Annihilate with one head, instantly regain a little Focus while striking with the other. A bit boring frankly. And far from safe on solo PotD I think.
You sure you wanna play a Sould Blade solo? That'll kinda suck IMO.

Finished solo PotD as a Psion.

Here is the Vulcan dragon encounter recorded in video :

Spoiler

But thanks anyway.

I also tried to complete Pillows 1 as solo Cipher but honestly, couldn't do it. Not being able to start the combat in stealth with charm/domination was really hard imo. Also having to strike enemies on melee to get focus was really bad. In PoE 2 if I really need focus and can't generate, I can just use Empower on myself to get it.

playing solo with 'apply DoT and run away until mob is dead' tactics must be as fun as watching paint dry

Nope. Such tactic don't work against enemies who has ranged attacks. Is more about taking control over the enemies and using enemies against themselves.
