For the shout line and stormbolts (stuns)
For anyone curious, I decided to throw together that Armoured Angel Oracle build for the fun of it, just to see what it looks like. Its designed for solo play, but it should be able to slot quite nicely into a group, with a couple of changes (which I will detail below).
This build should work on hard-unfair just fine. Starting Attributes are:The Build Itself:
Enemies Trying to hit you:
You hitting enemies:
1. 18 Strength
2. 9 Dexterity
3. 10 Constitution
4. 14 Intelligence
5. 8 Wisdom
6. 19 Charisma.
On the road to 20, 1 point was put into Charisma and 4 points into Strength.
For skill points, the only investment which has a numerical impact on the performance of the build is 3 points into mobility, if you are using fight defensively. Other than that, I distributed my points between Perception, Trickery, Lore Religion and Use Magic Device.
This build takes the Battle Mystery and then Waves later on, when you get the mythic feat for a 2nd mystery. The Revelations it takes, in the order I took them in are Skill at Arms, Weapon Mastery, War Sight, Fluid Nature, Icy Skin and Battlecry. Its important to note that these Revelations give you a lot of feats and you do not want to take any of these feats on level up, otherwise the points are wasted. Feats provided by the Revelations are Martial Weapons Proficiency, Heavy Armour Proficiency, Weapon Focus, Improved Critical, Greater Weapon Focus, Uncanny Dodge and Dodge.
The reason the build takes extend spells is to combo with Enduring Spells and Greater Enduring Spells, allowing you to extend 1 round/level spells to 24h duration. Mythic Dodge is not a good feat, I only allocated it as a solo character runs out of good options to invest in quickly. For party play, allocate something else, for example Leading Strike.
Anyhow, in a group I would make the following changes.
Swap out Mythic Dodge with Leading Strike. Drop the Wings feat for something else, you do not need that bonus in a party. Potentially grab the Sword of Heaven buff that shares the sword with party members, instead of the Everlasting Flame. Lower the character's intelligence score and use the points to balance out the dex and wisdom.
As far as the gear choices, I went with weapon focus in longswords because there are so many of them. In combat you can swap between using power attack and fight defensively as needed, depending on the circumstances of the fight.

Love the Build so far, one question: Did you merge the Spellbooks? Seems like a no-brainer to me, but then again, im no good at building characters, so I thought I should ask first.
Nothing wrong with the Aeon path. But such a character would massively benefit from going the Angel route and merging spellbooks...
Illusionist/Enchanter sorcerer is pretty good. Take Demon mythic path, take Kitsune, take crossblooded Devil(or fey)/Undead. Add Serpentine with a mythic feat if you want. Good stuff.
So far the Aeon is fine, although I was vaguely tempted to try pursuing the devil path after the guy joined my court.
Paladin's are one of the strongest martial classes in WOTR. Smite Evil + Mark of Justice are two exceptional abilities and there is decent items to support them, too. If you can find a way to get 13+ dex and a belt +6 they become even better if given 2WF which will allow them to get even more smiting attacks. They also get a celestial horse which allows them to not use a shield and still keep up strong defences.

Dude the biggest damage dealers in the game can deal over 2k damage per attack on crits. Those numbers are very low. They'd be reasonable on a Merc/companion build
I'm not disagreeing, but I'd like to point out, that the video shows that the 80 and 300 (crit) dmg is pure weapon dmg. There are several secondary dmg effects which bring the overall dmg to 500 and 1000 (crit) per hit. (Some of that stuff is life-stealing so increasing survivability).
