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

Oracles kick ass in general I think.
I've given Daeran all the evocation feats and now those lightening bracers and ascendent elemental lightning.
Mix that with Boundless Healing he can protect and he can attack.
I have also equipped him with the cloak of carnage and the battle mage quarterstaff you get from Ivory Labyrinth.
You also get an Oracle specific maximize rod early on which maximizes up to level 6 spells.

If you chuck those freedom of movement boots on him like the great prophet Desiderius has mentioned multiple times, you don't have to worry about the curse.

I am now up to Chapter 4 in the full game so have not tested this, but in the Beta if you used mass heal after having the feat that makes extra healing bonus points up to blah blah blah oracle level, you can run around with 150+ bonus HP.

I think what has finally made me quit the game and not want to play anymore was the terrible performance and constant loading screens. It's just too much of a hassle and too time consuming to be constantly looking at a load screen that progressively gets longer as you play on.

Loading times and performance were blazing fast for me, would often barely get to alt-tab. Much faster than KM or PoE.

Yeah I think Kem0 is unlucky here, I am getting good performance from a mid range gaming laptop.

Stop saying Oracle is good or I will begin to hate them out of desire to be different.

Ugh, too many things to think through. Desire to roll a human good fighter with sword and shield intensifies.
Need a walk.

I mean, you can always make an evil oracle if you don't want to make a good one.

 

[Percy]

Fighters are a good class too.

The "vanilla" feeling can be overcome with your mythic choice.

Don't worry - they are shit. I would never play as one and oracle companion is some knife-eared fag.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

I'm kinda tempted to go for a fighter in a next playthrough because for a reason or another I always end up playing classes that have a very narrow access to equipment and for a change I'd like to put all these fucking big armors and two handed weapons to good use.

 

[Robber Baron]

A..am I supposed to take on lvl17 dudes at lvl10 or is it just a bad neighborhood

THF is one of the strongest classes in the games with all the mythic bullshit you get, there's a vital strike build going around that can spike damage up to 2.5k

At lvl 10 17 HD enemies are trash mobs (unless they're casters in which case have fun)

 

[AwesomeButton]

Winter witch seems to be mainly a damage dealer, and I kind of have other plans for that party member. What class should I take for good crowd control. Wizard seems obvious, but what about the other arcane pure casters?

Honestly, any class that has a full arcane spell progression and reaches high DCs can be a decent CCer, you just have to pick the right spells and stack the right bonuses

Which part is giving you trouble?

 

[Robber Baron]

Which part is giving you trouble?

all of them lmao, only the start of chapter 3 and wherever I go every trash encounter is a 10 minute tb savescumfest or wipe
I guess

 

[Robber Baron]

What's your party and MC and what difficulty are you playing? Also, on what map were those lvl 17 dudes?

Core, party is paladin/angel MC, Nenio, Sosiel, Lann, Regill, Camellia. With max buffs most enemies just tear through me and ignore my shit, so I sit micromanaging every enocunter hoping for dem rolls. Is it even possible to salvage a build if you're lvl 10? I still have Ember, Seelah, Daeran and Woljif waiting to lvl up 7->10 plus mythics

What's your AC? If your first frontliner doesn't have AT LEAST 40+ you're going to have a bad time

[His Dudeness]

Just respect my dude. There is no need for net builds, although they are helpful to understand which feats are good and which are traps.

Also specialization beats generalization for the most part.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

so did they ever get around to implementing delay poison properly or is it still broken op?

 

[ArchAngel]

Lol what.. I just got my Lich lvl 1 and chosen Marksman Skeletal Minion and I got a pop up that said I can use him as a mount :D

Which map are you trying?

I may have posted before but in Chapter 3 I find optimal route:

Molten Scar
Greengates
Areleeus Lab
Dragon
Wintersun
Ivory Labyrinth

Game can be hard too at times if you get ambushed on the map.
You don't seem to have anyone with stealth in that group.

just spec into bolt/storm of justice with your paladin and u nearly 1 shot every encounter on core

 

[LannTheStupid]

It has never been broken. It delays effects of poison.

If you want, you can imagine how the party vomits on the fire during the rest.

>pally is 35 with all the buffs

I'll just fucking respec I guess

Any chance you can also clarify how delay poison works in the above, Jason, if the poison isn't neutralised before the spell wears off?

Delay poison simply stops the process in its tracks, but you should still track the order in which new poison is applied to the target. When delay poison ends, all of these initial saves happen in order, then then character must track rounds as outlined above.

Hope that helps
