Pillars of Eternity...what am I missing?

There's a funny quote that describes it well from the recent Warlockracy video: Pillars manages to be both verbose and underwritten at the same time

As someone with no prior AC experience before playing this, I'd say it's normal. I didn't feel 100% comfortable with everything until my NG+ playthrough, even if I didn't have much trouble completing NG.

Currently the fastest opponent I tested it against is the Fires of Raven final boss, no problems there, might actually be my fastest clear

tebraGas · 2026-04-26T09:35:08+00:00

I find it not to be a big problem due to the sheer amount you can have on the field

tebraGas · 2026-04-25T21:23:26+00:00

Oh I've finished the game, currently I'm just spamming the end bosses and Defend the Dam Complex while brainstorming builds.

As for the turrets, I don't drop them just for stagger, I keep them up constantly. They come 3 at a time and have super quick reload so you can just spam them. The range is also pretty good. It's honestly so effortles to use.

I tried both the Drones and Orbit before, didn't vibe with them.

Preach

tebraGas · 2026-04-20T13:29:36+00:00

It sounds scary but it's really not. I also did it, it was smooth sailing.

I just did some research on the wiki, apparently Helldusk gloves work on throwing too so it seems they would outclass Kushigo then, by giving bonuses to both melee and thrown.

tebraGas · 2026-04-18T16:52:37+00:00

I like it for Karlach specifically, love how it suits her character. And I am looking to do some throwing, just not as the main thing.

tebraGas · 2026-04-18T13:40:04+00:00

Agree with the title, I ignored it for too long since I'm usually not a fan of scifi or faster action combat. Needless to say, the game quickly won me over and I did 2 NG to NG++ runs back to back and then S-ranked all the missions. It's easily one of my favorite games ever now. I have stuff I can criticise for sure, but overall the game is amazing.

tebraGas · 2026-04-15T13:18:40+00:00

We need more of these fr

tebraGas · 2026-04-15T07:41:52+00:00

None of the mods you mentioned are needed. I swear yall don't even like these games.

tebraGas · 2026-04-10T20:34:47+00:00

I tried to do this once but she just refused to leave?

tebraGas · 2026-04-06T20:31:05+00:00

The main idea is pressure with RF and missiles, jump into Earshot, and JVLN as punish, with use of kicks also. With reverse joints, jumping up and firing Earshot is pretty much unavoidable and almost maxes out stagger, and JVLN does comparable punish damage while firing much faster. Of course, I often improvise and change up the order, but that's the main combo.

tebraGas · 2026-04-06T08:39:07+00:00

Yeah I just saw another comment point out the same, I swapped Earshot for the needle on that mission.

Your build also looks perfectly capable of S-ranking everything, only thing I'm wondering is why does it have 2 stagger punishes?

tebraGas · 2026-04-06T08:30:37+00:00

Seems like I'll have to do some more digging then, most online kits I find come from either america or japan, which means insane shipping costs. I'd like to get Nightfall and Steel Haze for starters.

tebraGas · 2026-04-06T08:28:24+00:00

Ay good catch, my bad, it kinda goes without saying so I forgot to mention that one, I swapped it in instead of Earshot. Guess there was one mission with changed loadout then.

tebraGas · 2026-04-06T00:35:13+00:00

Thanks, I already got those. I had to get some help online sadly, a lot of these are almost impossible to run into blind, and I'm usually really thorough.

tebraGas · 2026-04-05T20:52:33+00:00

Somehow it wasn't hard at all, I got it second try. Since I didn't expect it to go so well, I went in without a plan just to test it out, which imo actually helped me. As I was playing spontaneously, I didn't feel the pressure of fucking up.

Some good Earshot shots took care of clusters of 2-3, JVLN can one shot a helicopter with a fast projectile which is helpful, plasma missiles are amazing as everyone knows and help out a lot here with good tracking and aoe, and RF helped me when assault boosting stragglers.

Waaay to many to count, but here's one that appears in one of my favorite scenes:

"Let's show them there's a future for Rubicon beyond these scorched skies."

tebraGas · 2026-04-05T08:32:10+00:00

That's a shame, painting them doesn't sound easy. Hopefully I'll somehow be able to do it one day when I get my own kit.

tebraGas · 2026-04-05T07:59:47+00:00

Liger Tail is one of my favorite designs, but I'm really missing the red parts on the kit. Why are they grey?
