Haplo What about Arcane Enforcer dip for Dimensional Slide instead of domains?
no way to make it Swift. Witch of the Veil is only other Swift teleport IIRC. He’s going to get Swift-clogged with Aeon tho.

More thanks to itemization, than just to mechanics. There are:Ember can solo basically anything provided you can keep the demons off her ass. Touch AC targeting stuff is stupidly good.
And most of them shine in particular in fire multi-ray spells, so Polar Ray gets the short end of the stick.![]()

Ember is hilarious like that, Owlcat loved her so much that made archetype especially for her and filled game with items for that role. Even if it clashes with standard pathfinder's Witch roles.
There is big difference between classic AoE Fire mage and pew-pew ray-caster like Ember - she only needs two spells (+ metamagic) and does not really need any DC to stay functional, so no need to worry about 20 in main stat and Spell Focuses.If they loved Ember as a Fire mage the would have given her a Fire Patron and a Prestige like Winter Witch.
Have you played the game already or it is all bare-bone theory?They tacked it on for story reasons but didn’t give her enough support to play her in that role. Nenio can do it better if you like pew pew. Of course MC can blow both out of the water.
Anything with pets from lvl 1.Good build for The ashes DLC?
And he also got a tripping bite!Was checking out animal companions and found out that velociraptor gets iteratives and pounce. That's 7 attacks at lvl 8 with pounce, kinda crazy.
What the hell? That's it, I'm making a raptor build. Wrath of the RaptorAnd he also got a tripping bite!
Raptor has 14 CHA for Divine Hunter Smite Evil. Kinda cool
You really had not played a game, aren't you? So many demons with innate Fire Resist/Immunity, so many casters prebuffed with resist Elements. Anyone in this game who want to do any elemental damage needs Ascended Element ASAP. Wasting first turn for the Hex means not killing that Balor you would kill in first round with two Hellfire Rays from Sorcerous Reflex + Standard Action.If Ascendent Element is relevant for you you’re not doing enough damage. She even has the Hex to turn off immunity.
Main reason why WW sucks. She got Snowball and Ember got Scrorching Ray with 3x4d6 + 3x(1d6+5) (Pyromancer Ring) + 3x2d6 (Mallander Insult belt) in the beginning of chapter 3.WW doesn’t get any Cold spells until Prison/Cone either, you just meta the shit out of Snowball. Unlike Scorching it bypasses SR.
Wait.. You can use scrolls with animal companions? That's just silly.Raptor has 14 CHA for Divine Hunter Smite Evil. Kinda cool
Yeah they raised it for all the animools. Used to be a pain to get UMD up to where it was usable.

And, imho, Favorite Meta is waste of Mythic Ability. I usually go for Bolster + Empower with Maximazed from the Rod. And I usually take Ascended Element (Fire) + x3 Abudant Casting + Second Bloodline (1 lvl Crossblooded Sorcerer dip for x3 Dragon Arcana) so nowhere to fit it in. Well, I also prefer to never rest in dungeon so a I guess we have a different approach to resource management.

I've met trees in Wintersun in my last run when I was soloing it with lvl 12 wizard. It was first time I went there without Ascendant Element (CC-oriented wizard) and it turned out those fucking rotten trees got 30 Fire DR on top of 10 regeneration that you cant dispel. And for some reason they were immune to paralysis from Icy prison and Chains of Lights too.Lol if you’re not blowing through resists like butter you really don’t know how to use Metamagic and if you’re not taking favorite meta I know you don’t.
My Nenio is using Completely Normal Spell well to improve her disabling :DI've met trees in Wintersun in my last run when I was soloing it with lvl 12 wizard.

So yeah, taking Ascendant Element (Fire) is a damn important for the dedicated nuker. I've completed the game 3 times with different flavors of full Arcane Casters (Illusionist Azata, Conjurer/Illusionist Demon and Raycaster pew-pew trickster) so I guess I have enough experience to know what I am taking about.
I don't really do in-depth buildfagging but I can tell you that Ember with the pyromancy ring, the unholy fire belt and ascendant fire usually does like 90% of the work in high AC boss fights. Make of that what you will. I've only used Nenio once on my first playthrough and though I guess you could wrangle her into a nuker, Ember seems to be a more natural fit for that role. The only major spell Nenio gets over Ember is sirocco but I've managed without it just fine. Nenio theoretically is much better as a disabler but Ember also has good disables at her disposal (not even counting hexes).

Loads of hellfire ray that's what.Lol, what specifically does Ember get that Nenio doesn't for nuking? Nenio is faster spell progression and can use meta without full action. This makes no sense.
