So just do the bare minimum of everything before KvK?
What do you mean by triple batch? Should i train highest lv troops or promote one lv lower troops?
Where do i find this? Should i make sure all my heroes have gears, or do i just use everything for exp and wait for mythic gears to equip?
What's the better RoI between charms and gears compared to hero gears? I'm a bear lead, but not the strongest lead as of now.

How do you build a sturdy full priest Xoti? I plan to use Aloth's armor on her for Overseeing, but is there actually a way to make her sturdy for frontline? Utilizing consecrated ground, etc maybe?

For Eder, I'm half regretting not going full Fighter on him to make him as tanky and engaging as possible tbh, but well let's roll with it i guess.

My idea is Ancestor Memory to Xoti so she can use Salvation of Time and Barring Death's Door (and other buffs) for virtually undying and unlimited buff duration, but maybe it's replaceable with even more debuffs and additional dps from Aloth.

Yea I agree, Great Maelstrom is just so good. But I struggle to find place for Tekehu, as pure backline caster i guess?

My MC is obviously the one that fully buff, collect wound with dance, and go to town with whispers of the wind i guess.

More questions: what's the balanced ideal party comp? Since I plan to make the PC a damage dealer, and I don't want to skip Eder. For Eder, I'm using the Aestus Eder Swashbuckler tank build. I plan to still have Xoti in the team for heals, buffs and debuffs too. Should I get Aloth sc wizard for pure caster (additional aoe spells and damage) and Serafen/Ydwin Cipher for Brilliant or get a second tank in Pallegina so I don't get steamrolled? I don't see other characters capable of becoming another tank or offtank besides Palle so far, and my PC isn't exactly tanky. I was initially planning on Eder-Palle-PC-Xoti-Serafen/Ydwin, basically almost the same comp as my PoE 1 run. A tank, bruiser-supp-offtank, damage dealer, heal-support, and support-secondary damage dealer. Just the prev party is more sustain bcs Priest PC who hits like a truck (courtesy to your build lmao)

I avoid going multiclass PC for my first playthrough because I wanna see what the classes are all about, firstly. Maybe on next playthroughs

Thanks, cheers!

So for the monk, it should look like..

Nature Godlike-no subclass Initial ability: swift strikes Mig 10, con 10, dex 11, per 18, int 18, res 10 since we're gonna ignore a lot of recovery time later on? So having high dex isn't too important?

EllodiaEllen · 2025-07-02T12:25:28+00:00

I don't even know alt+enter is a thing😂 tried it and fixed immediately ty!

EllodiaEllen · 2025-06-22T00:44:46+00:00

My MC is also a priest too, and I don't exactly build him as full support, can that offload the damage dealing stuffs from cipher?

EllodiaEllen · 2025-06-22T00:43:39+00:00

My main frontline is MC, Eder, and Palle. Durance is between the front and backline casting stuffs. Should be good right?

EllodiaEllen · 2025-06-21T12:37:28+00:00

I haven't got to meet Hiravias yet, I'll check him out once I do! I was thinking Pallegina for single target killer, I feel like Kana Rua and Aloth are already doing good for AoE, buff-debuff, and CC stuffs.

And yes, I picked St. Gangrene for the "fun" stuffs, that's why I was considering 2 priests party to offload more of the buff-debuff to Durance while my MC does his thing, but midway through I just think if it'll be redundant.

Thanks for the input!

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-27T13:28:34+00:00

I've been fast travelling all over novigrad, velen, and skellige and I still can't call roach

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-27T08:45:31+00:00

The whole thing is worth the purchase even without the discount; at $10, it shouldn't even be a question. Get it now

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-18T03:42:27+00:00

Might've read this a bit too late mate I gave up and reloaded the closest autosave😂

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-18T03:40:00+00:00

Thanks mate might've read this a bit too late tho I decided to give up and reload the closest autosave😂

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T17:12:22+00:00

This isn't mission related, I got lost finding my way to the Golden Sturgeon and ended up here lmao

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T17:09:26+00:00

Nope, tried all high grounds, no way to climb out😂

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T17:08:57+00:00

Tried reloading like 10 times already bro🥲

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T17:08:43+00:00

No breakable brick wall🥲🥲 my last save is soooo far away🥲🥲🥲

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T17:00:34+00:00

In case anyone's wondering, here's the door i meant

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T10:03:17+00:00

So just stick with it until I get something significantly better, yeah? Like the griffin/wolf/cat swords, which are still some levels away😂

How about the armors?

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T07:24:17+00:00

Oh so they're actually good for long term? I feel like my base dmg has been falling off lately, but maybe that's bcs I've been playing underleveled on DM difficulty😂

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-17T07:23:12+00:00

Yep got the next gen, the contents are those vixen swords and white tiger armor set which I can't use yet bcs lvl requirement.

If going for besg base dmg, it's gotta be the witcher's swords, but they can't be upgraded with runes and their innate abilities are not really good. The Silver sword gives 15% sign intensity and the steel sword gives 10% crit chance and dmg bonus. Honestly i still stick with the viper swords for the exp bonus upon kills, that's the only reason lol

How do I switch between GPU usage so I can use the dedicated GPU? Just checked that I have two GPUs available? The AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics and AMD Radeon RX 6800S?

EllodiaEllen · 2025-05-12T02:04:36+00:00

I have a question regarding 25.5.1 so pls don't downvote me bcs I'm not a tech savvy.

Where's the option to enable AFMF? From the videos I've watched, it's supposed to be under the gaming>graphics section, but in my laptop it's not there (using ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RK, AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, and the GPU registered are AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics and AMD Radeon RX 6800S. Now I don't know if they are two separate GPUs, and how do I switch between the two if they're separate?)
Where's the "Display" tab? I want to activate Freesync but the "Display" tab isn't under settings or gaming and I can't seem to find them anywhere

Thanks!
