Sadistic Game design party ideas.

[Xhal]

I'm almost done with 1st playthrough and thinking of going for that achievement, any party ideas with an MC that barely needs rests? I'm thinking maybe Demon Kineticist, some people suggested oracle angel you get a curse that makes you immune to exhaustion, or lich eventually gets immune to it but super late, there doesn't seem to be any clear best choice for this.

Depends on how long it took you to beat the first game. Kineticists are going to be hit with a nerf bat real soon. If you are not able to finish the game before 2.1 comes out, you may be in for a long complaint thread in the future.

I found there's more need to rest from traveling world map and from buffs expiring than from fights.

Angel has a spell that removes fatigue from your party (while also doing minor damage).

Paladins can choose an ability to remove fatigue/exhaustion with lay on hands.

Enduring/Greater enduring spells is good for reducing rests required.

You don't need any of these though. Just being strong and steamrolling encounters will result in you resting very little. Any number of builds are good for that.

Kineticist is a good class but a lot of their abilities function better in turn based because you have to keep your allies from pathing into your effects and killing themselves. So the run takes longer (in real time).

I played my entire run turn based, I prefer it to real time where I feel you don't do much other than auto attack.

I wasn't aware of this, what exactly are they nerfing for kineticists?

When i wanted to do a Core, last Azlanti, Sadistic game design run. i took the build i explained here

i didn't used the exploit which allow you, by leaving alone war camp or drezen then move a little then come back, to remove fatigue and exhaustion on every companions and refresh all their spells / abilities.

i finished the run with like 25 rest and it's probably possible to go under 10 if you use the exploit above.

i'm currently making an unfair sadistic game design run fully recorded Here

I play normally, i rest every time a me or a companion is exausted and i use the food who increase by 4/6h the time before fatigue. I don't use exploits or anything specific to reduce rest number, i kill everything, including optionnal stuff (midnight islands) and i'm currently at the end of Chapter 3, the longest chapter (just before entering Midnight Fane) with 30 rests, i will have no problem finishing under 75 (probably under 50).

You don't need anything specific, 75 rest is a very big amount
