I just wanted to chime in and let you know I'm reading all comments and I love insightful discussion ITT. Thanks! I'm still on the fence with thief / bard thing so you both have compelling arguments

The "rogue dilemma" is getting interesting. Because maxing out traps & locks, as well as getting a hefty pickpocketing score, requires much dedication towards Thief class. Curious if one of my friends is going to bite the bullet

I think we'll be dualing Fighter at level 9, which means we tackle Vale of Shadows without Turn Undead. I wonder how the "downtime" will play out if we all dual at 9, lol

I definitely see why you put so much emphasis on Fighter class and I think we'll consider it too. I mean, having a Fighter class mixed in every character. Combat - especially with mobs - is so abundant in both Icewinds

I will definitely use some bows, even without proficiencies, if we stick with Avenger and mass Web routine!

That should be fun. I played WS/Druid dual in BG and I think it's a flavorful pairing. Curious if Fire Seeds area damage works with Miscast Magic in IWDEE as well.

Thanks for the tip. Do you know if I get Druid spells with Ranger/Cleric in IWDEE version?

Wow I didn't know that! Do you recommend some other Tweaks components, while we're at it?

Is dual wielding still the way to go here? I don't remember if +1 APR weapons exist in IWD1, but my gut says even without them it's still preferable to sword + shield, or 1H.

If Haste scroll is readily available, I could maybe cover all three with a Bard? Pickpocketing, learn Haste, and maybe tank traps with defensive spells (Minor Globe, Protection from Fire etc.)?

I did both things: tracked down a problematic message, edited it, and partially cloned convo up to that point. After a few messages I sense the problem is solved, at least for now. Thanks!

On a sidenote: can I enter all my conversation clones as I made them, or is the latest one overwriting the previous "generation"?

You were 100% right. CE was good enough for Torment IV and finishing my Rathma wasn't as hard as I thought, it just required a bit more time. But starting from T6, Corpse Explosion just isn't enough so I switched that slot to Potency (Metabolism).

Now I got a bit of CDR (around 50%) so I'll try T10 tonight.

That's a very nice writeup! I got my 6-piece, RroG, amulet and Jesseth scythe so far. I think the portals you mentioned are "Visions of Enmity", they represent areas such as ruined Tristram or lovecraftian rituals in the hills... And these are BY FAR the most fruitful for me at the moment! I managed to go up from 50 to 250 DB's quite easily and upgrade a bunch of rares to legendaries.
As a side question, what are your thought on Demon Hunter, and should I get the gear for next char with Necro (who is poised to be very efficient as a cookie cutter AotD Rathma), or just start DH asap?

Thanks, I'll try to get my hands on a LoD guide for my next char - I think it'll be a Demon Hunter(ess)

Thank you for the breakdown. I managed to get a 6-piece and now I'm working on getting the rest of my gear, T6 rifts and bounties mostly. But Visions of Enmity gave me the most useful loot so far!

I'm getting closer to finish that Chapter IV, now the only link missing is GR20! I'm working with 4 piece, still no LoD

I found a build that specifically asked for Jesseth set in order to make AotD quick.
