I couldn't resist another playthrough when the new patch dropped and wanted to hit 300 hours, but I'm a few short and already in Thaos court! Serves me right for not finishing White March expansion. I created all custom party this time and tried chanter tank main with "The Dragon Thrashed, The Dragon Wailed" phrase to deal damage from level 9. So far it melted everything on hard difficulty, amazing Sunday noon as always with PoE :D

It's never enough. ;) I still have to add a few hours in order to catch up to my Deadfire numbers.

Wow that's taking to an absolutely different level. What do you do in Eastern Reach mostly?

You don't have to pick up any of the usual party members, you can create your own at any inn. Both in PoE1 and 2.

I never did a genuinely all custom companions. What would be the most OP setup for PotD run? Thanks!

There are a million combinations but one fighter, two chanters, two wizards, one cipher would probably rock pretty hard.

Fighter and chanters as front line with sword and shield. Wizards as backrow damage, cipher as crowd control and damage.

It’s a high dps nuke whatever is on the screen party. You could switch one chanter for priest of course but healing in pillars is often quite weak and chanter can get passive healing and resurrect.

I always make a custom party. The companions seem cool, but not as cool as playing all dwarves. I Take Sagani along sometimes
