Lantry is the most useless, whiney snot I've ever partied with.

[nakoda]

That is all.

Currently lantry is bugged for me, he will not teach me the core life sigil so i'm stuck with no healing spells. He just says "ive taught you all i know"

Not bugged, it means your rep with him was too low before you asked. You can't get it from him now for the entire game (being serious 100%) but there is a merchant in Act2 that sells it.

lol what? He is the best tank in the game.
enemy targets him 100% of time after any buff or heal. So 3-5 melee guys rush to him and starts to hit him.
But they fail. Under defence buffs he stands firm. Than you start to cast healing spells of which he has 3-4 + potions. He stands there and just lives and even casts some dmg spells in process.
At this point your party killed all archers and mages whih were left alone. Only melee useless tanks remain. You just finish them off while he still tanks.

If anythin Barik is uselss. No one targets him and his taunt is not 100% and short. He has no active skills to use and no real dmg. What the point if enemy can disengage him and lose almost no hp?

Again, y'all are judging the word useless as a function of game mechanics.

I'm talking about the actual character of Lantry.

I wish I could execute the snivling waste of breathable air once I've learned heal core from him.

He is this game's Imoen, for me.

"Heya!"

So by useless, you mean because he is the only sane non-sociopathic character in the game.

Yet another reason to like him.

[sonntam]

Why the hell is Lantry "whiny"? I am at Act 2 and he never complained about a single thing to me. Is it because I maxed out his Favor?

Indeed.

His ingratiations are infuriating. He bent his knee faster than the fool, Graven Ashe.

There is no place in my world for such weak willed decrepitude.

***You've Been Warned***


Lantry is helpful lore wise, especially if you did your conquest in the Vellum Citadel. He makes getting the *ancient knowledge* there easier, and also makes overthrowing Kyros easier as well.

You *are* aware of how the /spoiler tag works, are you not?

You've not ruined anything for me, I'm well beyond that point, but be considerate to others.

[BBB]

clearly he isn't...:P

I have Lantry specced out for some awesome healing. Makes my fights much easier.

[Shedding]

Lantry is EXTREMELY USEFUL. He is able to add +Lore to any lore you get (once you get the skill stance) and has the ancient knowledge deal. He uses quicken (to quicken me - I am a straight out caster) and then we both use haste, Energy shield, and Mirror image and you can see your tank go. Very useful.

Wait there's a haste spell? The only thing I found was Quicken.

Anyway on the topic of Landry himself I liked his personality. I found him amusing, he didn't complain about anything in my playthrough, and he usually had fairly insightful comments about various parts of the lore.

Plus he can give you inks that leads to a fairly amusing series of lines.

And in terms of combat like most of the people here I specced him into a high lore mage who could dish out the pain, keep my party healed, and stand solid on the front line while the enemy whacked him.

The only person I found more useful was Sirin with her dual songs, and I did find her personality slightly whiny.

Haste is the Sigil of Force Core plus the Sigil of Guarded Form expression.

And yeah, I've found Landry to be extremely useful, much more than the other two mages. Even without turning him into a tank he has powerful throwing skills, probably the best Lore progression. And as a character I like his dry humor.

Also he let me taste some of his inks and my Fatebinder got high as ****. Good times.

[Arcanestomper]

I don't think I ever found the Sigil of Guarded Form. Do you remember where you got it?

[Keith 'Blood' Hanson]

I bought it from the vendor who is being harrassed in front of the Disfavored camp in the first act for 9 bronze rings. I THINK there's another one for sale in Landry's crossing with one of the merchants as well...?
