Pretty good overvew, except you are underselling glass cannon waaaaay too hard. It is by far the best talent in the game (from a build optimisation perspective). If you want to make your party as strong as possible, every char should have glass cannon. The downside is easily mittigated by the fact that if your party is built correctly, the enemies wil not get turns.
There are a couple of exceptions to that because sometimes emeies cheat and steal your turns (persuasion check fight on blood island, act 4 bridge fight and sometimes kraken if the animation glitches). In those cases, you can spec out of it for one fight. The doctor doesn't cheat, but gets 1000 initiative when he transforms so he always goes first, however he has no cc skills iirc, so prebuffing solves that problem.
If you are only interested in building your chars as efficiently as possible, every char should take glass cannon, executioner, elemental mastery, savage sortilege and hothead (even melee chars want to use spells in the late game; archers would be the only exception, but there are no good talents for them anyway).
edit: Also, lone wolf is effectively the same talent as glass cannon. The bonus stats/abilities are only relevant in the early game as the cap remains the same, while hp and armour don't matter. The only significant bonus is that you can now pre-buff haste for an extra AP. There is no universe in which this makes up for 2 extra party members, 4 man party is still the storngest/easiest, assuming you pick glass cannon on everyone.

Sup, my goal wasn't to give people a min-maxed "optimized" review. Otherwise I could've just end the video on the 5th minute mark by saying "those x,y and z talents are strongest ones, everything else is trash" -> roll the credits. If the video had the title of "how to create the strongest party in the game" or "the best builds" then I'd agree. I don't want to take the agency from the players as much as possible, don't want to narrow their vision on a certain playstyle. (Although probably I was biased towards certain talents and it slipped in the video). The idea was "hey this is the talent, this is what it does and what it might do. Go figure our the application on your own". Because again, there are so many variables and compositions that we can disagree on this topic forever. Some people would say, why bother with 4 glass cannons if you can barrelmancy everything without breaking a sweat. Some would say, well why bother with that, if you can be doing solo invis + delay to cruise through the game. Some would say, why bother with max AP on 4 characters if you have 2 LW with double stats and skill points which will allow you to end fights much faster due to the damage numbers differences. Some people would say that by using and Elf with a prebuffed Haste you're already at max ap and thus Glass Cannon is redundant. But again that wasn't the point of the video. Thanks for the comment tho.

@@Nazatur I wasn't criticizing the fact that you gave a detailed description of every talent, that was great. My only problem was that you severely underrated GC, which is by far the strongest talent in the game, only savage sortilege comes close to it.
LW is only slightly better than GC for the char taking it, for the reasons I already explained - the downside of GC is not nearly as bad as you make it sound because of how easiy it is to cc every enemy before it gets a turn and the upsides of LW are either irrelevant (armour and hp don't matter if you don't let enemies move) or only matter before lvl 10-ish (stats are still capped, you just get to the cap faster with LW). On the other hand, having 2 extra chars is a huge advantage. After you get skin graft, it amounts to 16+ extra AP that can be used to cast 4 extra teleports/swaps, 4 extra nukes like pyroclastic/grasp and cover a larger area in massive fights. Moreover, if you have 2 chars, both of them have to be able to do damage and nothing else. With 4, you can still have 2-3 chars that do damage, plus 1-2 chars with high memory and initiative who can jump around and teleport/web enemies to set up aoe nukes.
My comment on the "optimal" talent build was more of a tl;dr for the sake of anyone looking for ppl who come to a video just to find quick info on what to take for their first tactician run or if they keep losing fights because of bad builds. It wasn't a criticism towards you, it's cool to experiment and you need detailed information on all talents to do so.@Nazatur ปีที่แล้ว
Aight, fair enough

Good comment and reply. We're all busters in the eyes of the speed runners
