Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Tacgnol]

Not seen that Instinctual Warrior before in first party archetypes, I dunno whether it's one Owlcat have made or just from some very obscure sourcebook.

Several of these new classes are Owlcat originals. I'm a fan.

Yeah probably no bad thing if they create a few of their own. I thought that Beastkin Beserker was a custom one as well, but it's actually just a really obscure first party one.

Leftover stuff from last playthrough:

Very relevant favorite meal for Sosiel. Fun to play with these to discover which goes with who.

BTW Leading Strike is BUUUUUSTED.

Lunge in-game for Urban Hunter.

Very solid Skrim type effect.

Heavy Barding takes three Feats but your Mount isn't getting hit much.

Hitting me where it hurts, but also taking a shot at the Poz so not so bad.

I don't want to play beta now, because I saw this bad news today.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK

a nuker with useful healing and support spells.

There is a really really broken Oracle combo that involves using Paragon surge and mnemonic vestments which usually ends up on Tier 1 lists with broken Wizard and Arcanist builds. Paragon surge can temporarily give them access to some extremely powerful spells.

Could you go into more details regarding that? Which archetype, mystery, curse, revelations, etc would work best for a backline damage dealing/battlefield controlling caster (specifically in WotR preferably, assuming Angel spellbook merging)?

On the tabletop Dark Tapestry, Flame and Time are popular mysteries for nukers. In Wrath they've only implemented Flame and skipped some of the best revelations from it for a pure nuker. That said, assuming it still has the good bonus spell list from the Tabletop it would still be a good choice.

Curse wise, there aren't any that are specifically good for nukers on the tabletop. I also don't know which Owlcat has implemented. Haunted is popular as it gives you access to mirror image and other spells. Tongues is popular as it gives you access to more languages outside of combat (probably irrelevant in Wrath).

Wasting is another amazing defensive choice on the tabletop, it gives you a slight penalty to your face skills in return for immunity to a bunch of obnoxious conditions.

I’m running Pranked for Image and Glitterdust (bypasses SR) and later Confusion. Blackened would probably be better since Evocation Focus (Archon’s!) but would be redundant with Cold/Divine nukes and already have Companion with that.

Wasting gives Disease Immunity which is narrow but when you need it you really need it, though the drawback is bad for CHR-based MC.

Global Map was already getting stuck - glad they’ve finally torn themselves away from their romances long enough to notice. Bug-fixing such a total joke.

“Let your fans find the bugs” is an annoying if effective business model, but not if you put some journo mode blue hair who only cares about romances between the fans and the devs to block any communication. You’d think this would be obvious.

Also sickened and nauseated (at higher levels).

Nauseated in particular is an obnoxious condition that is caused by quite a lot of high level spells and abilities.

It's bad for a face character, but if you aren't the face of the group it doesn't matter too much.

 

[Desiderius]

More convenient for MC to be face, especially since Oracle is CHR-based already.

 

[Parabalus]

I finally had time to actually spend in the game again after I finished working this week. The Nabasu was pretty easy when I actually knew he would pop up, and he dropped an amulet that grants temporary hit points when you kill something with a natural attack. I plan on trying it out on my Monk to see if that works with unarmed attacks.

edit: Obviously would work well on an animal companion as well, along with a few other types of builds.
edit2: It does work with Monk unarmed attacks. The temp hit points equal character level and last for a minute.

That's pretty good, so if you can make use of the amulet there's no point in being fast and preventing the attack on the inn.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Is it prohibited to post screenshots from Owlcat games beta test forum here?

 

[Sykar]

Is there anyone who would be willing to record a few voice snippets of the companions? Would be interested what they sound like.

 

[Percy]

Mythic Trickster Intimidate/Paralyse affects animal companions :/

 

[LannTheStupid]

They have released the patch 0.6.2c which was delayed due to a critical bug.

"Bugs... bugs never change..."

 

[Percy]

I am on 0.6.2d
Did they really roll it back?

 

[Desiderius]

Batting 1.000 on not even mentioning any of the myriad issues I've identified and reported. Really remarkable.

Yet the game is still t fun, not sure if that's a damning thing about us, or them or just the world.

Reminds me of a quote from my favourite RPG.
