Best path for Lantry and Eb?

[Manimal]

I was wondering which path is best for Lantry and Eb.
My char is dps medium armor 2 handed, and Barik is the tank.
please help

I personally find the best tree for Lantry is the one that ups lore. That is the gatekeeper for bigger and better spells.

[Manimal]

any other advice pls?

I took Eb on Gravelight route and made Lantry a healer. It was a bit unnecessary, since after levle 10 I only had one heal on Lantry's spell bar. Even Killsy took to little damage to make more heals necessary.

Gravelight was also me being more prudent and making sure Eb survives no matter what. It works, but you can also go full DPS route with Tidecaster and do pretty well, if I had to guess.

In other words? Spec Lantry as a healer (since in more difficult fights in the beginning of Arc 2 you will need that) and make Eb DPS with the tree that looks most useful. The best spells she has won't come from the talent tree anyway, so you just need to look at passives and decide what you like the most.

I see. thanks.
in terms of dmg in the case of Lantry shall i invest on quill or sage path?
btw i lost verse in the quests. so will he able to do some range dmg as well?

For DPS, spec Quill with Lantry, no question. It turns him into a throwing weapons god. For DPS with Eb I find the Tidal tree is best. It makes her lightning and frost spells very beastly. Her Gravelight is more for if you want to make her CC or tanky. I will say her Terratus' Grip ability is one of the best single target CC in the game.

Sage, because you want highest Lore skill possible. Then you can create the biggest, strongest DPS bomb spells. I started levelling Sage skill tree after the healing one and regretted even going into healing tree. Lore > everything else in the talent tree.

Right now Lantry does some of the best DPS in my party, simply because he can upgrade the spells the best and has biggest selection of spells apart from my own character.

Yeah, offensive spells and one Vigor spell. Used to have more Vigor spells, but then I noticed they just stay unused, so it's just one now.

Fireballs, Gravelight spells, Frost spells... basically, anything that looked like it does good damage and also some Gravelight stuns too for emergencies. (You can learn Gravelight from Eb with high enough Loyalty/Fear.)

Make sure to get the Voice of Ages talent; helps Lantry to decipher certain sigils you come across through exploration that you otherwise might not be able to learn through normal means.

Lantry - sage tree for voice of ages, +20% party lore xp and +30 lore. He's the strongest spellcaster and probably the strongest character in the game, making him a healbot is a waste. Renewal as a secondary tree once you've gotten all the useful stuff from sage. Can go quill as 2nd tree too, but renewal seems bit more useful to me, you won't be using your weapons with the guy anyway.

Eb - both gravelight path for more survivability and tidecaller path for dps work. I like the gravelight path bit better for +20% magic skill party xp and bonus spell slots for her. Possible to switch to tidecaller once you get that.

[Manimal]

cool im gonna make him follow the sage path

i built lantry as a healer and made a few damage spells with the spell scrafting stuff, the heals can be quite useful and that last skill in that tree is absolutely INSANE, the damage output after the 12 seconds is unbelievable.
