Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

So what's the general consensus on mounts, so far? Are they broken?

Paladin just hit lvl 5 and I'm trying to figure out what to take, animal companion or divine weapon bond. But I remember reading (maybe in this thread? Can't find it) that mounted combat is hosed up and annoying. Also, I have the talking weapon and great sword form, which I suppose I will use indefinitely. So, not sure if the divine bond with weapon would be overkill.

So far, game isn't bad.

Most feats for them are broken and you have to re-mount constantly, so just for convenience it is probably better to go with a weapon bond.

There’s a background now that gives you brew potions and another for scribe scrolls.

Those backgrounds have been here since release.

That being said, I have a hard time NOT choosing the backgrounds that let me sub out certain stats for skills. Like Wisdom for persuade instead of charisma.

Imho, biggest benefit in the riding is that pet AC and speed used instead of rider's when both merged into single unit. And pets usually have ridiculously high buffed AC due to their continuous stat improvement.

There are still some small bugs with their RT AI when you lose control over them and need to reselect character + you need to remount often after pet is hit with CC and after some cutscenes. You actually do not need remount on each zone change, but entering the "Home Base" dismounts you automatically.

Most mounted feast work questionably right now so most of them are waste beside the one that gives your shield AC to mount. And charge is kinda fucked up and could only be used as a fight opener.

So my verdict: riding lets you make an uber tank out of anyone, so it is totally worth some small inconveniences. It also makes all teamwork feats that you and mount share always active (Outflank!) which is very nice too.

PS I've got some crazy good results running Hunter who sits on Bully class Dog. It is like a tripping machine that hits like a tram.

Not an issue if I’m not playing WIS-based. The INT one is whatever and if you’re Cleric or Shaman can’t afford to dump CHR in any case.

When is Finnean going to do anything?

Found two pages about him being experimented on but zilch from him.

Well, I obviously wouldn't pick it if I was making a sorcerer or such, but for anything that doesn't require charisma it allows me to still have high persuade and dump charisma to rock levels (since dumping WIS is a bad bad idea).

Persuasion 1 Trick and Thug is hilarious.

anyone has high CPU temps and usage while playing the game? I have gotten this issue since beta and I can't play for a few minutes without my PC melting like shit.

 

[Mortmal]

Meredoth , how did you manage deskari in chapter 5 ? He's immune to death, stat drain, pretty much immune to everything , one hit kill everything , minions are also compltelty usless on this as expected. Was there some plot hole or items to make this more manageable ?

disable ssao Hbao ,tun down shadows, anyway game is poorly optimized.

 

[Mauman]

So, to those beyond chapter 2, what's better for animal companions.

Keeping evasion?

Or taking Bulwark for the DR.

Note - I'm talking about a triceratops here. Not know for their high dex. But Animal Companion classes DO give a lot of reflex.

Irrespective of this game, get some more RAM holy shit. It is the cheapest component to buy.

 

[Saark]

Anyone managed to kill Gresilla on Core or above? DC38 on Overwhelming Presence is hard to beat, even with Mind Blank. No Holy Aura (unless I summon a few devas with Duality) and I don't have Joyful Rapture. Even when succeeding at the Will saves, the stagger is usually still enough to allow her to kill 2-3 people before I can realistically strip her of her buffs and dish out some pain. Any ideas?

Just install MSI Afterburner and limit the fps in the game to a comfortable value (otherwise it'd always use 100% of GPU even in menus etc)

Regill +

This weapon carried me through all the level draining, back to back higher demons fights.

 

[Sunri]

game peaked for me

 

[Reinhardt]

Ok, i'm joining people who thinks Blackwater is absolute shit. It's absolute shit.

Reminds me of Irovetti's palace, best to buff up and mindlessly a-move through the area.

If you can't do it that way it's a complete pain.

It certainly favor heavy buffed melee build , i cannot finish the game with a full caster.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Holy fucking shit, some of those dialogue screens. I thought this game is not POE2-tier bad when it comes to writing and voice acting, but I'm starting to seriously reconsider.
