Running a full phys party and am about to leave act1 island. This is about as far as I've ever come. The party

Red lizard guy (MC) - Warrior/necro "Eternal warrior"

Fane - Tank with a bit of geo

Ifan - Summoner/ranger

Sebile - necromancer/buffer

I am thinking of ditching this party to return to the all-magic party that just have left fort Joy. Think I enjoyed that one better. The all-magic party

Lohse (MC) - Hydro/Aero

Fane - Geomancer

Beast - Hydro tank/melee

Sebile - summoner/buffer

It's my first time playing but I just jumped in (with a little help in builds from fextralife) and didn't look back.

I'm playing as Fane, I just dig the backstory, something about unknown loss, and I think it's interesting that undead in general have to keep their faces hidden (don't think that's a spoiler, pretty sure they're clear about that in character creation). Build I'm going with is a Tectonic Sage. I also have Beast with me as a battlemage My wife is playing as Sebile, necro/pyro and she has Ifan with her.

I'm digging the game so far, just finished act 1!

BTW thanks for setting up this community Sibbo!

I've never finished DOS2, and this post's inspired me to set up a new crew.

I think I'll play with a CAC Skele Human Witch MC, going for a necro/geo/summon Bonewidow / Artillery Plant build.

I'll keep Beast as a melee CC+Tank, going poly/geo/warfare.

I'll snag Red Prince as a pyro/warfare/summon slug build, giving him just enough warfare to whirlwind spark with a staff.

And maybe i'll do something silly with Sebille and load her up with a 1h wand build with primary aero, with secondary hunt+scoundrel. She'll be our ranged defender and thief.

Playing with a friend and we're both playing our own characters. My friend has this jank ass summoner/support build that does pretty much everything except damage (aside from summons). And I'm a full blown pyro/air/earth/water mage (in order of strength). We have Lohse as our ranger and Fane as our rogue. It's been a lot of fun and I think we're pretty well balanced out. We were running with Ifan instead of Fane on the first island but got bored of him tanking with warfare. I wanted to see Ifan's story play out, but I don't regret the switch at all cuz combat is way more interesting now

2 Custom Characters, Lohse, and Ifan.

2 custom undead lizards, Fane, and Beast as the groups familiar/pet

It's my first playthrough, and I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, but it's fun!

Lonewolf party:

Fane: Knight

Sebille: Ranger

Full party:

Fane: Rogue

Sebille: Necromancer

Ifan: Ranger

Beast or Red Prince: Knight

I´m a simple man. I like all physical damage parties. However, I did not play for some time now. Is it true that there was an update so both types of damage take down both types of armor now?
