Stalwart village

Synopsis[]

The Watcher’s new steward has informed them that, long ago, a powerful Engwithan constructed a labyrinthine dungeon underneath Caed Nua now known as the Endless Paths of Od Nua. Od Nua was killed by the people of his time for his deeds, but the steward claims that a powerful force still dwells within the ruins. Whenever someone attempts to take possession of Caed Nua, this ‘Master Below’ stirs awake and sends forth a flood of monsters to reclaim it. If the Watcher does not deal with this sinister presence, they may eventually share the same fate as the Aedyrans who tried to claim this land long ago.

Abilities[]

Monks have unarmed attacks, high mobility, special attacks which deal status effects, and can resist/confound status effects on themselves.

Wounds

Wounds are a resource that Monks use to cast certain abilities or get passive bonuses. Wounds can be accrued by taking damage in combat, and are spent when casting Wound-specific abilities.

When a Monk takes damage from any source (after Damage Reduction), the amount of damage taken is added to a Wound counter. When the counter reaches a certain threshold (10 by default), the monk receives a Wound. If they are not used immediately, Wounds can accumulate until a certain point (10 Wounds by default) after which you cannot gain new Wounds. At the end of combat all Wounds are removed.

In Pillars of Eternity

During combat, Wounds disappear after a certain amount of time if they are not used (20 seconds, affected by Intellect).Verify

• Lesser Wounds reduces the Wounds threshold by 2.
• Mortification of the Soul grants +1 Wounds, damaging the monk in the process.

In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

• Helwalker monks start combat with 1 more Wounds.
• Nalpazca monks gain additional Wounds while under the influence of Drugs, where they generate 1 Wound every 6.0 sec. While they don’t have a drug effect, they lose 1 Wound every 3.0 sec.
• Shattered Pillar monks gain Wounds by dealing melee damage (instead of taking damage). This works in the same way, but the counter uses the final damage dealt to an enemy instead. The threshold is increased to 30 damage, and their max Wounds is reduced to 5.
• Forbidden Fist monks do not gain Wounds by taking damage. Instead, they gain 1 Wound when a hostile effect expires.
• Sister of the Reaping Moon monks (Xoti only) gain 3 additional Wounds when they defeat an enemy with a melee attack.
• Abilities that grant Wounds:
  • The default Wounds passive can be upgraded to Lesser Wounds to gain a -20% reduction to the Wounds threshold (8 for regular monks, 24 for Shattered Pillar).
  • Mortification of the Soul immediately grants +2 Wounds when used, damaging the monk in the process.
  • Dance of Death and Enduring Dance grant +1 Wounds every 3.0 sec.
  • Parting Sorrow grants +1 Wound when an enemy breaks engagement with the monk.
  • Imagined Pain grants +1 Wound when an enemy misses an attack on the monk.

Mortification

Mortification is an additional «power pool» resource added in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Monks begin combat with full Mortification (the amount of which is relative to their current level) and spend points to cast certain abilities, with more powerful abilities costing more points. Unlike Wounds, Mortification is not typically regenerated during combat, but some abilities/enchantments (such as Soulkeeper, or an empower) enable this. After an encounter, Mortification is replenished.

Suggestions[]

Wizards make for an awesome combination of supportive artillery damage with the best self enhancing spell buffs. While a Wizard’s Accuracy may not seem particularly high, keep in mind that you are not always aiming for Deflection. In your spell descriptions, it will also mention if they target Reflex, Will, or Fortitude. However, all the rules that apply to Deflection will also affect your act of targeting these other defense. If some item or spell buff enhances your Accuracy, then it will help you in all cases with every thing. You should keep in mind though that Weapon Accuracy often receives a significantly higher boost than your Spell Accuracy. This very much proves true if you pick up One-Handed Style with a weapon. It’s typically better for a wizard to focus on either a Pike or a Quarterstaff for melee combat if you prefer staying closely near the front line of combat. Weapon Spells force this upon you.

Defensively speaking, a Wizard can in a matter of 3 seconds or less apply almost all of their protective Spell buffs. Other classes typically either pull from or mimic the Wizard set of spells if picking some thing to reduce damage. These Spell buffs may last a bit longer than half of a minute, but that’s usually all you need to survive the most dangerous incoming part of hazardous combat. It usually takes 30 seconds to deal with your absolutely worst threats. Otherwise, you may find your self facing a monstrous creature. No other class has the level of self protection that a Wizard offers, but it’s usually designed for you to handle things while your enemies focus on some one else. Some other classes provide immensely greater class resources to them selves than Wizard if your fights last too long, but a Wizard’s abilities make battles so much shorter.

If you want access to the weapon spells and defensive options available to Wizard for another class you favor, then choosing to Multi Class may help you. However, Wizard is one of those few classes where staying as a single class brings maximum power to your planning table, but it means your character stays reliant on at least one other member of your five member group at any one given time. Often this means you must initiate around the tanky type at your front line of combat. Your tactics should always revolve around assisting some one else first before your self as a solo class. The greatest benefit for choosing to Multi Class comes at empowering your self with tactics more than just helping your fellow allies. For this reason, Wizard + Monk presents the best option in that regard. You still can use the full power of Wizard as you see fit and able, and Monk gives both massive survivability and good damage. It really matters if you see your character as the support type or the authoritative influence. A solo class Wizard should never wander into the front line of combat before every one, but a properly built Wizard + Monk cures very much of that. A Wizard + Fighter (Unbroken) makes for an awesome tank as well if you both consistently prefer taking the first step into combat before your other chosen allies and WANT to use a Medium or Large Shield.

Points of interest[]

The White March — Part I

• You enter the village as it is attacked by a war party of crag ogres. To properly meet the denizens, you need to find Darzir, the leader of the ogres, and turn him into kibble.
• After the attack, the hut to the west is on fire. You can interact with it for a chance to save two villagers. See Durgan’s Battery for details.
• To the southwest, just next to the fishery, a villager runs away from a basket full of fish. Interact with it to meet Zahua, one of two companions available in the snowy wastes.
• To the southeast is the Temple of Ondra. Approaching it will trigger a short cutscene with Ista and Okrun.
• Yduran and his merchant cart is near the entrance to the village. Just a short way north is Thyrsc’s House.

The White March — Part II

• The village inherits much of its layout from the previous expansion, as expected. The notable changes are that the Temple of Ondra is replaced by the Temple of Abydon, the ruined houses are replaced with yurts, with the northern of the two becoming Hamond’s Emporium, and that the Stalwart Mines in the northeastern corner are reopened.
• As you enter the village, you are automatically caught in a cutscene, with Deryan calling upon the people of Stalwart to confront the Iron Flail, a Readceran army massing outside the town. They are, obviously skeptical.

Background[]

In a world with many gods, there are many different types of priests. Though the majority of priests spend their time tending to worshipers or engaged in relatively peaceful pursuits, there are ranks of dedicated adventuring or mercenary priests who have turned the flame of their faith into a spark to ignite the power of their souls. Such men and women have found a divine link to their chosen deity, but their abilities stem solely from within.

Dedicated to spreading the news of their gods’ dominions in the realms of mortals through their own deeds, adventuring priests thrust themselves into lethal conflict to prove their worth. Often trained to fight alongside soldiers of their respective churches, priests are capable in the fray (and near the fray, for those who follow less melee-oriented faiths), but their true power comes from their prayers, faith-inspired miracles that aid their allies and punish their enemies. These miracles range from combat blessings, weapon enchantments, and protective barriers to divine summons, sanctified wards, and crippling curses. In many ways, the prayers of priests have almost as much variety as wizards spells, though priests are restricted to invoking prayers that are aligned with their faith. Additionally, priests often specialize in the weapons, armor, and litanies of prayers most beloved by their church. Thus, the multitude of gods produces a multitude of different priests, each with their own unique array of abilities.

Priests are well-versed in philosophy, myths, and legends, giving them an inherent bonus to the Lore skill. Additionally, the requirements of their faith often involve traveling long distances in difficult circumstances, giving them an inherent bonus to Athletics.

1 Streetfighter/Shieldbearer Slayer

Эта сборка на самом деле дурацкая, несмотря на то, что она хорошо продумана. Он использует преимущество способности Rogue’s Riposte, где персонажу нужно накопить более 200 Deflection, чтобы большинство вражеских атак пропускались, и персонаж получал бесплатную атаку каждый раз, когда это происходит. С этой целью он лучше всего работает в одиночку, где вы можете кайтить врагов, и они так или иначе умрут.

• Класс: Streetfighter/Shieldbearer (Rogue/Paladin) мультикласс
• Основные навыки: Riposte, Escape, Sworn Enemy
• Приоритетные характеристики: Might, Perception , Решимость
• Оружие: копье Кахуа Хози и Щит Кадху Чешуи.
• Доспех: Бригантина кочевника
• Аксессуары: все, что дает дополнительное отражение

Heavy armor[]

Background[]

Rangers are expert sharpshooters with any ranged weapon. Though they traditionally rely on bows and crossbows, some use firearms or even magical implements. Regardless of their choice of armament, even novice rangers can strike swiftly and leave severe wounds that quickly wear down an enemy’s endurance and movement. They are assisted in their efforts by their animal Companions, incredibly tough and loyal creatures with whom rangers form lifelong bonds, who share their lives (literally) with their masters.

Rangers often choose as companions creatures with whom they share a strong natural affinity. The process of soul bonding connects ranger and beast to such a degree that both entities share stamina, health, and eventually death. It is believed that rangers bind themselves to animals in which they were recently, or most vividly, incarnated. Once bonded, ranger and companion never part unless one dies of natural causes. In some cases, the feelings of loss in a ranger can be so great that it takes years before they form a new bond. Evidence has suggested that the ranger/animal bond can even outlast death, which may be a contributing factor to their shared mortality. The soul affinity between the two runs so deep that they are united in all but a shared body, and one could hardly abandon his or her mortal existence without the other following suit.

Interactions[]

Quests

A Voice from the Past: A man name Dalton believes he can hear the screams of his lost love, Rowyna, from the Catacombs. This turns out to be true, and Helig can be found in the catacombs along with several Revenants. Helig will agree to give the player Rowyna’s amulet if they take back Helig’s grimoire from Moedred. The player will then be given a key which Helig says unlocks a chest in Moedred’s lab. It turns out that Helig’s request is a complete fabrication, and Moedred does not even know that Helig is still operating under Defiance Bay. He will request that The Watcher kill Helig for his various crimes. If the chest is opened, a wicht will pop out and kill Moedred. If Helig’s request was fulfilled, he will give the player the Soulward Amulet. Otherwise, he will attack, and will need to be killed to recover the amulet.

8 Разбойник/Рейнджер Майя

Для тех, кто ищет класс, который наносит огромный урон с безопасного расстояния, в то время как другие члены группы делают тяжелую работу, тогда сборка Майи Rogue/Ranger должна работать хорошо. Это довольно стандартный билд для ДПС дальнего боя с упором на нанесение как можно большего урона, используя свои деревья навыков.

• Класс: Разбойник/Рейнджер
• Приоритетные характеристики: Восприятие, Ловкость
• Оружие: Двойной мушкетон: Эмпирическое исследование Зефа, Кухня 39; s плита & amp; Аркебуза: приданое дракона

Cape: Mirrorback

Игра Pillars of Eternity — общая информация

Релиз игры состоялся в 2015 году — в версии для ПК. Однако она оказалась настолько популярной, что в августе 2017 года также вышли игры для PS4 и Xbox One, а ещё через два года — для Nintendo Switch.

Игра не разочарует даже придирчивых геймеров

Важным достоинством игры является её нетребовательность — запустить можно даже на сравнительно слабом компьютере. Нужно всего 4 Гб оперативной памяти, процессор уровня Core i3, а также видеокарта Geforce 9600 GT. Конечно, любой современный игровой компьютер может похвастать куда более внушительными параметрами.

Время, затрачиваемое на игру, сильно зависит от стиля геймера. Если поспешить, выполняя только сюжетные задания, то прохождение игры «Пилларс оф Этернити» займет около 22 часов. Ну а чтобы заглянуть в каждый уголок, выполнить все побочные квесты, придется потратить значительно больше времени — до 70 часов.

При этом нужно понимать, что выше указано чистое время игры, когда геймер прекрасно знает всю последовательность действий и ему не приходится отвлекаться. Если же просто играть в свое удовольствие, затрачивая по 2-3 часа вечером, то на освоение мира уйдет пара тройка недель.

Факт! На протяжении всей игры геймеру предстоит много раз делать выбор — от этого зависит развитие сюжета и то, какую концовку он увидит.
