I Googled and the notes say capped at 35. I either misread or that’s going to be implemented in the full game but didn’t make it into the beta.
But that’s OK either way. This build, once he has a magic item with +2 Might, will start each fight at 25 and climb from there as wounds come in. The dmg is nuts, and with +20 accuracy from Flames of Devotion he doesn’t miss that much. And each fist gets a hit with that skill, as opposed to only one hit during a normal auto-attack.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the Votary’s armor rating was at 15 since I pulled in exceptional plate via a cmd line and went Goldpact pally. My marked enemy skill is the one that refunds the zeal point once the mob dies.

Yeah, that was the crazy guy that did the stream right after they announced the Critical Role crew doing voices in the game - they are voicing everyone in that party. Except for the armored guys kind of schtick wearing out quickly and them rushing through the area, it was a great video with lots of fun moments and cool bits that make me excited for the full version. For instance, everything is voiced in this demonstration and while I wouldn’t have cared one way or the other on paper, having it all fully voiced (and playing the sparsely voiced PoE1 like I was doing last weekend) I really appreciate how it turned out.
I put together a Ranger/Paladin combo for today’s video for everyone to enjoy!
Watching all of Scott’s videos for POE2 is starting to get me really psyched for the game. Do you think the current discounted price on Greenman gaming is reasonable? With their discount code you can get the base game for around $39. That assumes you’re one of those people who has to buy it when it releases and can’t wait six months for patches etc. to land.
The last time I was sure I could get a discount when a game launched I ended up buying DOS2 for I guess the steam 10% discount. So I’d rather get it a little cheaper if possible.
The Shepherd is a fun build. I went Stalker and Kindly Wayfarers for subclasses since I also went dual sabre wielding. The proximity with the pet (lion) gives bonuses, and since flames of devotion will always be used it heals allies around me, so some nice synergy there. It’s a neat combo, and mobs really do take a lot of dmg with those multiple marks on them.
Good God, what is happening in this thread?
I wonder how many “Boaty McBoatface” ships we’ll have…
You could get it on cdkeys.com for $32 last I checked. Not sure how you feel about that site.
And, yes, Scott’s straightforward descriptive videos are not only very informative, but they do a great job of getting me hyped for the game. Same thing happened for PoE 1. Damn you, Scott. ;)
Josh Sawyer is demoing the clicky-est keyboard on the planet.
LMAO That’s the truth. I meant to comment on that myself.
Two more codes:

They were found in Instagram ads that just had a static image of the title, nothing worth sharing imo.
Stream tomorrow from Obsidian direct at 4pm PT (6pm CT) though, showing off a new area and doing another Q&A.
Deadfire DLC info!
The time table for these is pretty aggressive. I think each is supposed to be about the length of The White March (part 1 or part 2, either are about the same in terms of length/content iirc) so I feel well justified paying $20 for the season pass. Having all three by the end of the year I didn’t see coming (assuming they can hold to that time table, of course).
I really hope they can as I committed to the season pass myself even though I never finished the first game and never went back after White March was released (even though I bought it).
My main concern in purchasing a season pass is my tendency to just be done and never go back but if the DLC comes quickly enough maybe I can get some of it in. And if it doesn’t, well, I still enjoyed the first game enough and got a lot of hours out of it, worth the extra $20.
That’s sweet news to have the expansions coming this year. I’m always a little saddened when I hear expansions don’t build on the existing storyline and instead just build the world around it, but hopefully they’re connected enough to not seem out of place. If they’ve got that same quality we’ve seen so far all polished up, I’m not worried over whether I’ll enjoy them.
I like my Shepherd build so much I’m now torn over whether it will be first or the Votary. The latter deals more dmg, but the first one has some really nice synergy, a pet, and still deals really good dmg. The Votary is basically mark + flames of devotion > repeat until dead.
Why do pallies have to be so useful to have around?
The Transcendent Monk just seems tailor made for me. Wade in, punch people, then do some cipher magic and mess them up.
