Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Glass Cannon and Retribution

Necro doesnt work with retribution anymore so you dont get to heal by damage reflecting, you have to actually hit enemies to heal from necro, which you will never get to do because you have glass cannon, retribution maxes out at 50% damage reflect now instead of 100% like it used to, without items, and since enemies tend to 3x the HP you do even when you use nothing but constitution, you will never have enough HP to damage reflect them to death.

Perseverance also maxes out at 50% and on top of that you have to recover from the CC in order to get back the armor which means if you never stand back up/ get unstunned, you never get armor back up.

I tried to use the talent that makes you explode for 100% of your vitality when you die, but unfortunately if you have comeback kid you dont explode when it is up so you cant do anything cool with that, same if you have the idol or rebirth.

EDIT: also that takes a lot of combat points, a total of 20 just to get 50% perseverance and 50% retribution, and if you want any skills at all you obviously have to put points other places. So 20 levels spent on something that is inferior in every way to almost any other build, just in an attempt to have a character use glass cannon, a talent that implies that you are supposed to do a shit ton of damage while being squishy.
