I beat that ogre encounter by sending in one person through the south entrance, going to the left corner and shooting the druid. For some reason that made it so only the druid and other ogre came after me, the boss ogre just stood around doing nothing. Concentrate on killing the druid first otherwise he'll keep healing his ally. |
I actually only pulled the druid and 2 of his friends. I will try focusing on the druid.

It's a good idea Spoiler: | to tell Raedric you're siding with him and then attack him, | because that way you have time to position everyone (for example behind the throne, some line of sight blocking is always helpful) and you get to start the fight by nuking the priest/mages with your ranged characters. Get the priest companion if you haven't already, his regeneration/protection spells will help the tank if he's having trouble surviving. The priest is in

Go to the Inn and sleep first. Then visit the tree, see dead people and talk to the guy again.
Most companions can be found by following the thread of the story. I focused on going to the Stronghold first (as part of the story - not a good idea on Hard) and found the 4 early companions very quickly. (Durance was part of a small detour, didn't actually knew he was there)

I had to rest one night at the in then you get a dream and after you've done what you were told to do in the dream he becomes available.

Regarding Raederic, I waited until I had a full party and I was level 5. If you are struggling I suggest you go east to the village and do the content there, you will get some more exp and gear.

The game generally doesn't allow me to pick them up if I'm already at the max. The one exception was a NPC giving them to me in a convo. |
Huh, i just couldn't pick them up. So i ventured forth and slayed a bit more before i rested and just ran back to pick it up again.
Empty again

I can't stress this enough. If you meet an encounter you can't defeat, come back later.
I play on hard, and had a team of 5, level 4s, when I took down Raedric - imho, it was an easy fight. Effective crowd control takes ability synergy to pull off. Lower their defences, then your important CC stuff won't miss. I had Raedric charmed throughout the battle, Charms lasting 30 seconds a pop.
My main is a Min/Maxed Cipher, with 20 int, 2 weapons with very low armor, so I gain focus instant fast.
This is an old school game, so you have to spend time planning your build, and understanding the mechanics.
Plan. And if that fails, get higher levels and come back. Simple, really.

Debuffing is crucial in encounters. Priests can decrease enemy accuracy, chanters can lower enemy DR - those are essential as well.

Use a wizard's Miasma of Dull-Mindedness - then you will crit with your charm, and boom, that doubles duration.
30 seconds a pop.

I'm not sure I made the right decision making main a barbarian instead of a fighter, the fighter seems much more durable and accurate (higher overall dps).
I was kind of expecting a D&D barb with passive damage reduction, speed bonuses and a frenzy that makes them immune to all CC, the default frenzy seems kinda lackluster in POE. Maybe the class will improve as I get higher level.

That's pretty clever I'll try it. Btw the spell description doesn't say how long this Miasma lasts..

My main is a ranger. I created an adventurer at the Inn and made her a barbarian. Doing ok so far with those two and the fighter, the wizard, and the priest. It's more fun for me playing what I want than min-maxing and meticulously planning builds.

It didn't work with puppets ;( Same 14-15 seconds duration.. I haven't tried it yet with whispers
PS I wish I had a rogue in my party...cipher+ rogue= non-stop sneak attack fest And as far as I know there is no rogue companion..Maybe I'll get a mercenary from the inn\stronghold.

I'd rather have a companion like the ones BG had than a mute puppet But I might reconsider it
