I would recommend dual wielding kitchen stove with grave calling scimitar. If you have a chanter in your team (e.g. Pallegina) you can summon skellies and hit them with your saber to create foe-only chill fogs that can paralyze as well. These generate a ton of focus. Later on you can switch to kitchen stove+seeker’s fang which is amazing for ciphers. It’s cone AOE ability will also ascend you very fast.

I realise this is an older video but I could use some help. Im playing on xbox, turn based. Unfortunately the kitchen stove appears to have been nerfed. Not only do we not get a cone any longer but a normal blunderbuss aoe, but its also only 1 use per rest. I do have the red hand, and a superb rod. However both do pierce which is causing me many issues. For some odd reason the rod wont do slash dmg even tho it says both pierce and slash, it only does pierce (i noticed this when fighting skeletons who are imm to pierce), making it useless against many enemies. Any idea how to not spend 5 turns building focus with a sceptor for the crush dmg? Im struggling here. Whats worse is i only get 2 turns as ascended atm; then i start all over w my lil 20 dmg crush hits.

My party: Herald (Turbadur), Inquisitor (Ascendant), Crusader (Tactician), Arcane Knight (Blood mage), Templar (Wael). Order of Dracozzi. The main idea is to have 1. all paladin auras. 2. Infinite resources loop: Ancestor's Memory + Salvage Time. 3. In some battles, interruption starts to be a problem so Hands of Light (courageous). 4. Also with Barring Death's Door and loop you are immortal. 5. For some bosses: Slicken + Thick Grew Their Tongues, Stumbling O'er Words; Arcane Reflection; 6. In some battles, Arcane Dampener used by enemies can be a problem, but the party is durable enough to counter that. Other things are just flavor.

oooooh niceeeee. So would you say that this class is better than multiclass Psion/Troubadour in terms of just spamming infinite spells? I've always thought Psion/Troubadour was the best for just a caster that sits back and spams spells like summons and cypher spells through them. Also will you be doing builds that take in consideration the stat differences between playing real time with pause and turn based? I've always wanted good guides on turned based mode and your builds and guides never disappoint.
@cRPGBro
2 жыл бұрын
I'd say yes, mostly because you have far faster casting progression as pure Cipher, meaning you get the OP spells and ESPECIALLY Brilliant buff for the infinite combo way earlier! I'll need to do more research for Turn Based, but I found it somewhat boring to Real Time because how different mechanics can be, unlike let's say in Pathfinder where they play the same.

For max dmg potential I dumped INT, becouse high INT makes Desintegration take longer to apply full dmg. So with lower INT it accualy deals dmg quicker. And low INT isnt a problem at all, becouse of infinite buffs with cleric.

Does it work with turn based mode? I find it's a totally a different game when playing real time mode as I had played it in POE1.

I wish to learn something new from you and replay the game.

Honestly, I'd say it's a lot more powerful in Real Time. I'm not much of a fan of Turn Based in Deadfire, because unlike the Pathfinder games, you can quite clearly see the game was NOT built with it in mind. Many abilities work differently, for example, to cast the usual Wizard Buffs, you have to waste like 4 turns, meanwhile it's INSTANT in Real Time. Ascension will also last at most around 5 turns, and you won't be able to chain cast spells with 1s cast time and 1.5 recovery for massive spammage. At the very least getting max focus in a single action is still very much viable in Turn Based because you only need one round for that anyways.

After doing my POTD TB playthrough as a Nature Godlike Ascendent Cipher it is viable. It is a bit harder to maintain ascendent state early game though. Rod is definitely a must since the increased attack speed of the Red Hand doesn't help you in TB. Once you get the PL 6 spells though and Xoti gets Salvation of Time then it becomes really viable, the damage output is quite high especially with Eder doing into the fray to group everyone together.

Because the Kitchen Stove plays a huge rule in letting you achieve Max Focus with complete ease. The ability that lets you do this however has rather short cone targetting, thus higher ranks into Stealth to ensure it goes off and hits as many enemies as possible for easy max focus.

Single class Ciphers are a bad option for solo play, even if it's not what you are after it would be better if you use something different than this. You sure can play this without a priest, but instead of being an immortal killing machine with unlimited casting and insane range for the whole fight you will be able to do this for 10-15 seconds, and then you would have to recharge your focus, which takes a lot of time. A single class cipher relies on their allies too much, so if you want your character to be independent it would be wise to multiclass your cipher with something like rogue (as long as it's not a wizard and uses a weapon it should work), by doing so you will loose pretty much all the potential for greatest aoe damage in the game, but you will still have lots of control and great single target damage if built properly.

The first Pillars has quite some differences, for example, it's just a normal Cipher without subclasses. However, some of the Cipher spells are lot more powerful, I'd definitely pick Mental Binding as your first Level 2 power. Also, Amplified Wave is even more OP. There is no Ancestor's Memory equivalent, however. Still, I think Cipher is one of the best classes in the first Pillars as all the other casters are limited with per rest spells.
