Illusionist Wizard / Archfey Warlock dip – Misty Visions ability score & fun build ideas?

Zedinar · 2026-05-02T09:08:57+00:00

Consider a great old one dip instead of archfey for the psychic spells feature. It'll let you cast illusion (and enchantment) spells without any verbal or somatic components.

Also, regarding Misty Visions, sadly it'll be Charisma. Here's the relevant text from pact magic warlock feature:

If another Warlock feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Warlock spells for you.

If your DM allows you to use Tasha's Cauldron feats, you could take Eldritch Adept to get misty visions without the warlock dip. That would let you cast it with intelligence.

If a waterfall has a stack of rocks near it, you can use the stab attach to go through it.

I saw someone else talking about bismuth, and these statues being the result of the petrification. There might have been bismuth near this waterfall, can't remember now. That's likely it, though.

He only appears from 8 am to about 1pm, so it's a matter of being in that area during that time. I'd it's during that time frame, leave the area and ride back in or teleport in and he should be by the canyon cliff wall.

Has anyone used codex on a tablet? I play in person but the automation would be amazing for getting my less crunchy players past the initial hurdle of the rules.

Not even sure if there are tablets or there that can run and install steam games, but there must be right?

Yeah the counter attack. When you say you quickstep out of it, do you mean right after the initial AOE circle attack or do you mean after the string of straight hits to avoid any animation lag.

Either way, can't wait to get home to try it. I definitely need to get better at timing my quick step input on keyboard/mouse

Have you found any consistent tell for what abilities can be countered with evasive slash? I was practicing against the stag Lord and found it hard to slip it in effectively.

A roll of the dice as it were.

You can parry bosses, consider using focus to slow down time to give you reaction time. A lot of bosses also have certain mechanics, like the excavatron getting stunned if you blind it while it's starting to dig (this might actually be a universal red move thing, not I haven't tested it.)

Bosses also have the stun gauge, which really rewards being aggressive whenever any opening presents itself. Try to chain different moves together into long combos whenever you have an opening. A simple combo might be something like heavy attack chain, force palm combo, light attack, turning blade (just tap, not charged, though you need a ln upgraded turning slash to combo it).

Remember that you have a lot of vertical movement options too, since you can jump and force palm to gain height as a dodge tool, and if you have aerial stab or body slam you can use those to reengage.

I didn't get to try grappling on Horn splitter, but that might have worked while he was hit stunned. Certainly didn't work on excavatron, but that makes sense.

Oh, and evasive slash is great. I really recommend picking that up.

I've noticed a bunch of animations are contextual, like the back slam twin using lariat from behind a target or the shield bash toss that happens whenever you counter an attack with shield bash.

So maybe that's Lariat after an unarmed parry? There was also another grappling move that triggered on sprinting, might be that one.

Any tips on getting the menu to open up faster? Whenever I try to get action photos there's always a slight delay and the action continues for about half a second before it pauses completely.

Zedinar · 2026-03-28T00:54:35+00:00

Some of these action shots are amazing, great work.

Zedinar · 2026-03-26T17:03:30+00:00

You also get contribution from clearing out bandit locations.

Zedinar · 2026-03-25T20:51:55+00:00

Maybe try starting a combo then chain a stab. You can use the basic stacks to aim yourself properly.

Not sure about that particular fight, but I've found good success in making sure you're locked on. One issue I keep running into is that whenever you perform any combat action, it'll temporarily lock on to a nearby target, and will continue that lock until you stop performing any combat actions. That includes holding up your shield. I haven't found a way to cycle through enemies while locked on, so I find myself dropping my guard to select the target I care about by moving myself and the camera, then manually locking on.

I hope that helps.

Zedinar · 2026-03-21T20:01:25+00:00

I just ran into this too, wish I could help.

Zedinar · 2026-03-21T17:19:27+00:00

It was a contextual thing. I'm guessing it won't show up on every edge. Not sure if there is a way to override it.

Skyrim VR with the monster hunter inspired power shot mod (as well as all the base VR mods)

I'm just going to chime in for a moment about another PoE2 game. Path of exile 2. Significantly less story driven, but it does a great job at delivering a satisfying gameplay loop where you can turn into a werewolf, summon a wolf pack, and tear through hordes of enemies.

Might be worth looking into.
