how to make Percy?

[Serge Crosser]

what class and what not did you guys use to make Percival?

A cipher/rogue combo is probably the best fit for fiend possessed Percy. For Percy afterwards, I would probably make a sharpshooter (or w.e. the ranged specialization is) rogue, specializing in guns and anything that cripples the opponent, deathblows, etc.

Or maybe a rogue/mage combo for end-game Percy just so you can select magic spells to mimick some of his special items like Diplomacy (Shocking Grasp). And then dump everything else into the rogue side of the tree. Give him high ratings in mechanics and explosives to mimick his inventive nature, and focus history/diplomacy as non-combat abilities.

hrmm. yeah. im trying devoted fighter cause gunslinger is based on fighter, but rogue mage sounds interesting.

I remember that Matt made his gunslinger a fighter variant, but it seems like that would be wasted in POE due to their role as tanks with the regeneration ability. Although you could probably RP that regen as an ability gained through Percy's connection with Orthax, and just ignore all the melee/front-line abilities in the fighter tree.

would you dual wield pistols or what? got to go the "sniper" his big gun too. lol

I don't think he ever dual wields in the campaign. I would go with two handed style for increased Bad News damage at least, maybe give him the perk that decreases cooldown when switching weapons so you can switch from pistols to rifle as necessary, as Percy tends to do when his gun misfires.

do then nothing in the offhand of the pistol?
