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

[CodexTotalWar]

Yeah, I had Hell Knights and Clerics basically carry my Act 2 Crusader army through most fights. If you manage to get Cure Wounds on your general you can basically guarantee 0% causalities almost every fight). In Act 3, they continue to perform well but Marksmen steal the show in terms of insane damage output.

There will be a few of the fights (especially a few of those enemy stacks with levelled generals to the west) where you should actually remove any of the squishies because they'll get blown up by spells. In those cases, just go in with your heavies (i.e. units with 100-200+ hp), and just slug it out with them. You basically can't lose with spells and cure wounds.

Eventually you'll steamroll everything pretty easily as long as you're always levelling your general and are maximizing recruitment. The AI doesn't keep up.

Quick question. Do i get the benefits from bloodrage when i using demonic rage ? Like extra bites attacks and natural armor ?

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

So Half of the Pair just straight up doesn't work. It shows up as a buff in the character panel, but neither the AC, nor the attack bonus is applied to actual rolls.

Also, I bitch slapped a dragon, then got bitch slapped by a walking potato. The circle of life.

Just got the demon path powers, so thats a shame.

[Fedora Master]

At this point you should be glad the items just don't work instead actually giving you a malus.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Any suggestion now that my Bloodrager + demon is kinda useless? I guess i could go Magus + Demon.

There's no way to change party members in Drezen right? Coz Regill is locked (I don't normally use him but stuck with him since I went with his idea for the initial assault) and I didn't bring a mage in. Blightmaw will be a big issue without haste.

[Fedora Master]

Regill is the only sane person on your team. I also highly recommend you listen to his strategic advice.

 

[frajaq]

Finished the game, Chapter 3 dragged on too much with this crusade stuff and was the low point of the game for me

Overall my experience would be better without wasting time with crusade mechanics and just...being with my companions exploring places and shit

Will play it again in the future when they patch things better and more DLC comes out

 

[Volourn]

Ha. I finally met Regill. Saw him murder innocents. I smited him for good and justice. No mercy for such evil!

Best npc yet. He gave me a justified reason to end his evil life PERMENATELY.

Of course, the game gets butthurt by not allowing me to wear his adamantine armour + 2. LMAO

Of course, he gets butthurt and cheeses 6 damage AFTER he dies. HAHAHA.


I WIN AGAIN.

 

[Ghulgothas]

Current and prospective Liches, a worthwhile interaction to seek out in Chapter 4:

Spoiler

Pleasantly surprised with the amount of unique dialogue and interactions unique to the Lich so far. Even Staunton has unique dialogue when you fight Minagho for the last time in Chapter 4.

Sosiel is gay as all hell, but his brother is good enough.

I would but I'm already a Monk and Seelah's my tank. Camelia's the one doing the unlocks and buffing. Daeren is the healer. Lann's the only one other than my monk that can kill stuff. So last slot is mostly either Ember or that Fox spellcaster. I don't mind replacing Seelah if I have another good tank.

Do a save edit to give yourself exactly the amount of money to buy five mercs. Then give the mercs the appropriate amount of xp so that they have the right amount of xp (owlcat still didn't fix this). Then turn off shared xp. You'll enjoy the game much better that way.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Poor Daeran.

Not a big spoiler, just Chapter 2 stuff

 

[Heroic Liberator]

 

[Nerevar]

Eldrich Scion seems REALLY strong with second bloodline mythic ability so you can get the elemental damage AND the str bonus from abyssal also having elemental damage pierce immunities and DR.

2nd playthrough on unfair I think I'll roll one. Just finishing up my core playthrough with Quarterstaff master.

 

[Parabalus]

Ah yes, more crusading fun (see turn number once more)...

Unless I'm missing something, this is all the manpower that I was allowed to muster for this month.

Take a mage general, it'll save you a lot of nerves. You don't need an army.

 

[gurugeorge]

Did you do that and Swarms without resting?

Yes. Though I had to use one of the dragon's scales. We met a nasty guy underground who wouldn't die.

Haha, that was a great little segment, quite a surprise.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

 

[Stoned Ape]

So, Trickster Mythic Trick UMD rank 3 gives you a full wizard spell book which scales from INT.

Enlightened Philosopher Oracle gives you +5 INT if you stay as a pure class.

Both spell books benefit from abundant casting.

It's pretty easy to build one with 15 INT and 19 CHA, meaning you can either have both attributes at 22 (or 26 with Bokken potion + tomes by end game, or one at 24 and the other at 28).

Trickster Oracle is a better Mystic Theurge than a Mystic Theurge?

 

[Cryomancer]

I love Cruoromancer but only I believe that Blood Necromancer would be a better name?

Okay, chapter 3 finished, uff. The game is growing on me

- Still hate crusading part, but at last I finally cracked it. Turns out, hiring non-mage hero was my one mistake. I have two armies, both of equal (7) strength, one led by general lv9, one led by a mage lv12. The former one can't handle armies of equal strength without taking casualties. The latter effortlessly dismantles armies 3-4 power levels above it. Jesus, talk about imbalance.

- I've took all time in the world during this chapter, but still managed to only research around third of found relics. Eh.

- Some encounters are a slog. Those uber-AC's in Blackwater... my azata slayer mc is a terminator capable of dismantling dragon in one turn, but even he was reduced to fishing for crits when fighting those augmented abominations. And weirdly, aside from their ridiculous AC, monsters in that dungeon are a joke, even the final boss.

- I can't help but feel something went wrong with my dice rolls after last patch. I'm getting suspiciously large number of low rolls, sometimes multiple 1's in row. Never noticed such problem in my 300h in Kingmaker...

- Companions are really, really growing on me:
Ember is DEAREST, PRECIOUS COOKIE. Must protecc
Nenio's personality was grating at me at first, but her VA is carrying the show. Her "You're irrelevant' line when attacking is hiularious
Daeran and Arueshuale are very good, Lann plays a bit overdone tropes, but he's fine

The only one of my usual squad I can't stomach is black Paladin, and only because of her very black kween voice. God, it's so jarring. Can't wait for evil playthrough when I'll replace her with Regill.

- Overall, I appreciate how many banters devs have interwoven in sometimes most surprising places. Sometimes it might feel there's too much text, but amount of content they put in is staggering.

Yeah, I am having the same issue. I first thought I was having my usual bad luck with the rolls (I have infamous bad luck). But then it just kept going.

How do you even report this? "I'm rolling 1's way too often"?
