#WPOE WIZARD BUILD PILLARS OF ETERNITY MODS#
Without using mods (which allow you to respec NPCs and even change their classes), it's a lose-lose situation. On the other hand, custom companions deprive you of the NPC storylines. And they take away the joy of building your party and your strategies – PoE's system is very rich and there are lots of combos to try out. Companions have personal stories and plenty of dialogues, but they're all build rather horrible so the combat is harder with them. One of the toughest choices about the game is custom party vs companion party. With it, you'll have three or four such stats – much more solutions available. Without min-maxing, you'll have only two stats at the level of 17-18 (and that's what required to solve the really tough challenges). Min-maxing is especially important for the main character as the maxed out stats not only make him combat-viable, they also allow him to solve dialogue situations. Therefore, there are pretty much three default settings for the attribute – 3 aka min, 10 aka norm, 18 aka max. Which requires a lot of points so you'll have to minimize something too. When it comes to the attributes, Pillars of Eternity is a min-maxing game – to make a real difference, you really need to max the stats out.

But, of course, stuff that works on PoTD will be appropriate on the lower difficulties. This guide is adapted for the Path of the Damned difficulty as that's the only way I play it nowadays.

I'm investigating all of the classes gradually and so it's going to be updated along with my progress.
