Hey guys,
I am trying to pick up Deadfire again and my cheesy comp got nerfred so I deleted my save. I ran a chanter/paladin as a merc in the group and it reset all my priest/druid and wizard spells so I could keep casting their best spells on repeat. Now instead of it being a lvl 7 chanter spell its a lvl 9 so i would have to go full chanter to get it.
My last playthrough I used all mercs and no companions. My team consisted of me a ranger/cipher with a paladin/fighter, a paladin/chanter a wizard and a healer priest/druid this let me mind control most enemies and out number them. I also had all the statues that let you summon extra units, plus chanter summons.
What I am looking for this time is to play with Eder, Xoti, and Aloth for the story. So that leaves me with two slots for myself and a merc. I want to play chanter as my main character and have either a fighter/paladin or a druid/cipher. The paladin would be a sword and board paladin/figher and the druid/cipher would focus on mind control. I am not sure which direction I should take or if i should just ditch the chanter since its a lvl 9 abillity. Thanks in advance for all the help.
