My party consisted of: PC Kind Wayfarer Paladin for burst damage, offtanking, and off heals. Eder for tanking Durance for healing and buffing Aloth for AoE damage and crowd control Grieving Mother for damage and crowd control And the last spot was a revolving door for whatever other party member I felt like bringing. Usually Sagani the ranger, because she came with her fox as an additional body to take hits for my other party members. Seriously, crowd control is the great equalizer in that game. I got a ton of mileage out of Aloth's Chilling Fog (aoe cold damage and blinds enemies in the fog) and Slicken (aoe knockdown) spells and they are just level 1 spells. My Paladin was surprisingly helpful, between his aura and restoring party member endurance every time he killed an enemy or used Flames of Devotion. Good advice. Thanks! Positioning is important too. Use chokepoints when available. Keep your party together, but not too close. Some useful spells. I don't recall the name, but Durance and other Priests have a spell that sets down a glowing healing circle that continuously restores endurance for all party members standing on it. Abuse the fuck out of that spell. For Wizards, Chilling Fog really is a great spell because blinding enemies is a major boon for your survival. Drops their chance to hit you like a rock. Slicken can briefly knock down several enemies to buy some time. Combusting Wounds for a bit of extra damage on trash mobs. Expose Vulnerabilities on the tough bosses. Gaze of the Adragan later on to petrify enemies. For Ciphers like Grieving Mother, I got a lot of use from Mind Wave, which knocks down enemies behind the target (target your tank when he has several enemies in front of him) and Mind Blades (deals damage to several targets). Whisper of Treason had it's uses (charm spell). Recall Agony and Pain Link were useful for boss fights and multiple target fights respectively. You can have a lot of fun with Antipathetic Field or Ectopsyhic Echo if you get the right positioning. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac <cite>Esrac posted [p:892315412] in Have you p...
