I know it's probably possible with Rogue since they have those evasion skills (escape and invisbility), and especially since everyone is telling how strong rogues are with range weapons.īut Ciphers? Having no survivability like monks or barbarians, would this work? Talking of solo PotD, would you guys think it is possible to solo PotD with Cipher? I haven't even been using blunderbuss until the mid game (mostly some combination of hunting bow, arbalest and quarterstaff), and cipher was still #1 in damage done and ahead of my rogue, even though he burned a lot of focus on CC which was helping rogue's sneak attacks. On average though, cipher is better damage dealer than rogue. In very specific situations where you are fighting a single strong enemy you can flank all the time, yes, rogue will do a bit more damage (although with high level cipher spells like disintegrate not so sure + cipher has recall agony which buffs your whole party damage by 30% against 1 target). He can reliably spam ~30 average damage aoe at low levels + has single target damage that is almost as good as rogue's sneak attack, without the need to flank or cc the enemy (although he has great abilities to do both of these things). Btw i'm starting to feel this game is actually well balanced coz so many people claim their class is best in their certain roles. Dont trust the numbers on character sheet when it comes to dps it will say cipher is best coz blunderbuss bypass dr for large dmg but some fights cipher dps just cant be as good as other classes depends on the situation.
I can just unequip my armor and spam aoe like blizzard and get huge advantage right at start.
So for big fights Druid > Wizard > Cipher > Rogue = Barb i would say.You're right my druid really shines in hardest fights. Wizard can deal lots of damage too, but overall is weaker than druid. While he may not have the "most damage done" stat in the party (unless you rest very often) in big fights that actually matter none of the three classes above can compete with a Druid. So cipher is a clear winner imo.īut you're kinda forgetting about Druid.
Barb's single target is lower than rogue/cipher and carnage doesn't really hold a candle to aoe spells. Melee vs range is questionable in terms of top dps, but cipher can do both pretty well. All in all rogue doesn't have much on cipher imo.
#Pillars of eternity classes maxed out plus
Plus he has great aoe which rogue can't really compete with. It's actually stupid how easy it is right now.Ĭipher deals almost as much damage as rogue with sneak attack (1.4 vs 1.5), but doesn't have any prerequisites for it, so it is much more consistent. Playing on hard difficulty, I don't even really pause combat except for once to set my characters up, playing on fast speed, I just control the rogue while my 2 tanks soak everything and I dance around and flank everything. Today it proc'd for 100 damage (plus 2 additional targets for 70ish), while I was critting 50+ with the basic attack for instantaneous 150+ dmg. One of my stilettos has "Jolting Touch" which absolutely CREAMS everything. Dual Wield, Very fast attack speed, 30% crit chance, another 20% on low endurance targets, high DR via Stilettos. What's your opinions on the best DPS class guys? But is it stronger than the rogue? I haven't played that much with ciphers, so i couldn't say.
If the cipher pulls off his spells, he can do insane amount of AoE damage. And da**, I must say when properly positioned, the rogue can do insane amount of damage. I've been playing with a paladin as a tank and a rogue as a DPS dealer. So let's think about what would be the best DPS class in this game in your opinions, PotD wise.
