Intellect affects the size and duration of all of the Cipher’s spells, making it crucially important. Dual wielding fast weapons or attacking from afar are both great ways to build focus and deal damage - the Blunderbuss is especially powerful on a Cipher because each bullet in the cone builds focus. This requires the Cipher to balance regular attacks and spells, making them well suited for a skirmishing or ranged combat role.Ĭiphers have some tanky abilities, but the class is clearly built for a battlemage type of adventurer, someone focused on dealing damage and controlling the battlefield. They cast spells from a pool of Focus, which can be refilled by attacking with their weapons using Soul Whip.
The Cipher is probably Pillars of Eternity’s most complicated class, but it is also one of the most powerful. The Cipher is an entirely new class built for Pillars of Eternity, a hybrid warrior/spellcaster that can attack their enemies’ minds and souls, and provide buffs to their allies. Skills: Mechanics +1, Stealth +1, Lore +1.The rest of your stats depend on what role you’re going to play - Constitution and Resolve for tanks, Might and Dexterity for damage dealers. Intellect affects the size of your chants and invocations, so it is probably the most important stat for chanters. They work very well in the back line or just behind the tanks where their chants can affect the largest number of people. The Chanter has always-on, low power chants that provide bonuses to his allies or penalties to his foes - these chants ‘cycle’, and after three cycles, the Chanter can speak a more powerful invocation, allowing them to summon help or blast their foes.Ĭhanters are a very versatile class - because their chants are not heavily dependent on any stats, they can easily be built as tanks, off-tanks, or ranged damage dealers. Defensive stats like Resolve and Perception are useful if you don’t have enough tanks, but for survivability the Barbarian gets the most out of just a couple points in Constitution.Ĭhanters are Pillars of Eternity‘s take on the Bard, a versatile class with buffs, debuffs, summons, and a few damage spells, all based on their Chants. Intellect will increase the duration of your self buffs and the area of your AoEs (including Carnage), so definitely don’t dump it.
Might is the most important stat for Barbarians, giving them damage, and Dexterity will help them get more attacks in. Their abilities make them best suited for dealing high amounts of damage to as many enemies as possible, and their innately high endurance means that they don’t need to put a lot of points into Constitution. Their starting ability - Carnage - gives the barbarian a small AoE on melee attacks, allowing them to deal out damage to groups better than anyone else.Įven though their Endurance is the highest in the game, Barbarians aren’t the best tanks (though they can fill that role just fine). Powerful and deadly on the battlefield, the Barbarian is Pillars of Eternity’s best brawler and melee damage dealer.
