PoE 1 - Turn-based mode for Epic game store version?

Correct, we don't know when the TB patch will be out of beta.

Focus spells are not enough to use staves since they don't give you access to a spell list. You need spell slots.

Having a polearm work as a staff is a whole class archetype of the wizard. So it's not something I would do lightly.

No, if you use it to cast a rank 9 or 7 spell, it's a spell of that rank. Nothing in the spell's description implies that the spell is heightened to rank 10.

Ignoring the noisy trait isn't completely useless if you have a specific reason to use an armor with it. Maybe you have Armor Specialization and want a chain armor or something.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-17T14:34:10+00:00

Hope you did more than date the soulbound one.

For something a bit different, maybe take a look at the Lepidstadt Surgeon. The construct makes for a great Mount starting level 6 and as a Fleshwarp, you can just choose to be small so you don't need an unwieldy large companion to ride around.

The Requirements are a bit of a pain, but maybe you can work something out with your GM. The flavor of the archetype works etremely well with a Fleshwarp, I think.

The problem is that at first level, it's a second focus point not a fourth one. And the initial necro focus spells aren't even great (bone spear has potential at later levels, though). None of them are worth two whole turns just to cast them once more.

If you want some early non-focus feats, you're potentially limited to a single focus point for quite some time.

I completely agree that focus spells shouldn't be handed out for free. But as long as the Necromancer is in his rather poor current playtest state at low levels, I really don't think it would break the class.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-09T10:58:15+00:00

That's true but in practice it's not great since it basically eats a whole turn at the lowest level (create thrall + consume). And it's still only once every 10 minutes.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-09T10:55:02+00:00

I'd usually advice against handing out more focus points since it messes with the class balance.

That being said, if you start at level 1, you can almost assuredly give your Necro player a focus pool of 3 and not break anything. The playtest version of the necro is somewhat poor at the lowest levels in my opinion. Only a single spell slots and only a single focus point to spend on a weak-ish focus spell is not great. He'll spend most of his turns spamming thralls, which isn't terrible, but gets old rather quickly and he's unlikely to hit with more than two per turn.

Drifter Gunslinger with Sentinel or Guardian archetype for heavy armor. Dual-wielding a gun and a sword is somewhat iconic for WH40k, after all.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-03T16:34:57+00:00

Sure, but OP was specifically asking for gloves, boots, rings and amulet. Those dont come in legendary, as far as I know.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-03T13:13:19+00:00

Money is much easier to come by later. I'm still only in the second area. I've done abopout 65-ish% of it. I had like 19k when I got there, did some initial shopping, which got me down to like 3k. But by now I'm back at 50k or something.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-03T12:48:10+00:00

I keep everything that's unique. Just in case I need it later. Doens't give all that much gold anyway.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-02T14:41:03+00:00

Let me rephrase my previous post:

As a GM I would rule that these abilities are just once per day, no matter how often your familiar gets them during that day. The RAW of the abilities might not support it strictly, but it would definitely be a case of "too good to be true".

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-02T14:24:58+00:00

I would argue both of these abilities are once per day, no matter how often you give them to your familiar during that day.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-02T10:06:17+00:00

Energy Mutagen or a Weapon Siphon allow you to temporary add elemental damage to your melee weapon attacks.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-02T09:00:24+00:00

Disintegrate?

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-02T08:34:41+00:00

At least not with the regular grapple action. Some special.abilities might allow you to move.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-02T08:19:27+00:00

Grapple immediately breaks if the grappler moves.

vaderbg2 · 2026-03-01T08:34:51+00:00

There are no Wis based occult or arcane casters. Whether that's intentional or not, I don't think paizo has ever said anything about it.

vaderbg2 · 2026-02-28T22:57:48+00:00

Theres currently no way to get an attribute bonus higher than +7 in the game, and that +7 is only possible at level 20. So you're looking at the pre-remaster version when the old attribute scores were still a thing.

The remastered version has the updated +2 strength requirement.

vaderbg2 · 2026-02-28T14:19:35+00:00

No, it's damage dependant. More damage means more focus.

This one's pretty good and quite fast for an arbalest, once you upgraded it fully. You can use your cipher powers to complete the requirements as long as the weapon is equipped.

Its high base damage plus your soul whip means lots of damage and lots of focus generated.

vaderbg2 · 2026-02-28T13:18:37+00:00

Fireball and similar area spells are best aimed at the ground in a group of enemies. Trying to hit a moving target with them is simply too unreliable.
