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

which one of your fuckers said
lets make a fallout quest and make it forced turn-based puzzle thats actually pressing 3 buttons only and fill it with more dispels than entire rest of the game?

Nenio is a beast at illusion and enchantment, as early as act 3 begins, you can get her a ring that gives +2 dc to illusion, a ring that gives +2 dc to enchantment, an amulet that gives you +2 dc to mind affecting spells (everything good in illusion and enchantment), you pick up GSF illusion and get another +2 to illusion, get Mythic SF Illusion and get another +2 dc to illusions, pick up expanded arsenal enchantment and get +4 dc to enchantment spells. She can force glabrezus and nalfeshnees to kill themselves through the power of sheer autism (and 30+ dc phantasmal killers).

 

[Volourn]

*SHRUG* That can be done with basically any spellcaster. Doesn't make it special.

Anything can be done by any character by that standard. I can also make a gnome hellknight who beats the shit out of everything with a gnome hammer, but that doesnt make regill any less good

Add the best part too: bonus DC and metamagic to scribed scrolls on top of all that. It is really nice to have few additional "arguments" in inventory prepared.

 

[Percy]

yes but .. Nenio... and that combo isn't nearly as good tbh.

Tbh, I prefer blasting shit myself, but it works, I also gave her conjuration spec and rifts are also good.
Anyway, int the beta, I loved the bugs in ch.4 where you exited a building straight into thin air. Love how they didn't fix them. Really adds to the chaotic nature of the Abyss.

Yah I got that a few times too. Sometimes I could rotate the camera but others had to reload from previous save. I didn't have this issue in the Beta funnily enough.

Some of you wonder why the AI only runs on one braincell instead of two, when most people consider not having your low level mage/wizards walking at the head of your group as an 'advanced' tactic.

There's a stage between "Braindead journalist" and "Nolife autist" when it comes to difficulty.

 

[Urthor]

Incidentally, I don't think there is one single unique Fauchard drop in all of Act 4.

Really sad how long I'm rocking the +2 when my other characters have +4s

 

[Jackpot]

The game's difficulty is just weird, and it never feels like I'm playing correctly.

The singing rocks for instance, no matter what I did I could stop them from stunning everyone except my main character constantly and then killing them in two hits.
But they have a low reflex save, that's exploitable! I looked over my spells that have reflex saves, and the only high level one that I have ready is the hungry pit. But it works too well, they're all trapped in there and take almost no damage! If I let them out early they just stun everyone forever again!
So that fight consisted of me casting hungry pit three times in a row and waiting like ten fucking minutes until they were low enough to finish off. And of course, there was no reward for killing them.

Or the final fight of Chapter 4 with Bafomet and Hepzamirra.
Hepz goes down fucking instantly, like she doesn't even scratch my party with all of our buffs.
Then Baff dispels everything and attacks. He instantly cast an AOE lightning attack that deals ~150 damage TWICE before Darren can even cast protecting from electricity.
The solution? Summon a bunch of monsters beforehand and do the old reliable 'walk ten feet backwards'. As I was casting buffs on my party the fight ended.

None of these fights are impossibly difficult, but they aren't really satisfying to win either.

 

[Rafidur]

Summon a bunch of monsters beforehand

Good old skeleton spam. I've put sorcerous reflex on everybody that can animate dead: if they don't die before their first turn, the fight turns into "good luck I'm behind 70 skeletons!".

 

[CancerUnlimited]

Well, this is a nice cameo at least. Watching Jubilost and Regill go at each other was certainly amusing.

In before they start talking about "The Constitution"(tm) and the value of democracy.

Bro, do you even roleplay?

 

[Voids]

Why even have Best Jokes as a choice if hideous laughter never fucking lands anyway

 

[Rafidur]

Best companions for a Swarm playthrough? I'm thinking Seela/Sosiel because I won't feel bad eating them, but not sure about the rest.

You won't have any companions.

 

[Emmanuel2]

fighting 3 HD50+ enemies and just turning them into dogs one by one.

I concur that it is hilarious.

Spoiler

Turning everything into puppies is great. Prismatic Spray's plane shift is just considered an instakill as well so you won't be losing any loot unlike in the Tabletop.

That's the joke, isn't it?

"Why even have Best Jokes as a choice if hideous laughter never fucking lands anyway"

Not the game's fault you simply aren't funny. :D

I play games for the power fantasy, not to be reminded of how much of a cringy loser I am in real life.

The game is trying extremely hard to make me stop playing it.

It runs fine in the two weeks and now suddenly everytime I starts to play wrath, my computer will freeze after about half an hour(15 minutes if I'm lucky). The loading time also gets way longer for no reason. Other games runs just fine so pretty sure it's wrath's problem.

Need to reinstall the game to see whether it gets better.

Nerd Commando's Nenio build gets around that by taking 1 Crossblooded Sorcerer dip to get the Fey Bloodline (as one of the two bloodlines) and then the Mythic Fey Bloodline (plus ofc the usual school and pen stuff), both of which bump up Enchantment enough to make Hideous Laughter with Best jokes much more reliable and powerful - with the relevant metamagics (heighten and persistent IIRC) to have it in higher slots, it works nicely as a thematic "neat trick."

Buy a new computer and spend at least $10,000 on it.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Why? In a month it'll be obsolete. Wait, it was obsolete before if was even made.

Have you checked for comp/fans needing cleaning inside, and/or an old, past-it or weak PSU? For some reason Unity games show up these problems more than games with other types of engines. A while ago I had a bunch of trouble playing PFK/Pillars games - kept crashing, freezing, etc. Changed PSU and they all work fine now.

 

[Cryomancer]

Yes , and frankly either other people have not reached that stage or they are not playing casters . Going pure cruomancer you think with infusion you can make a good stat drain build , well another thing that wont work.

I completed teh game in a difficulty a bit akin to core as a pure caster and can say that own most battles via cheesing. And spamming OP lich spells. Negative Eruption has a damage potential similar to wail of the banshee, can heal, buff and heal your allies while damage enemy at the same time and the best part/ Target enemy WILL save. And in end game, they will gonna make their save, so half damage of 10 * caster level is not bad.

Best companions for a Swarm playthrough?

> Swarm
> Companions

Chose one. You will gonna lose all companions. Swarms are so discussing that not even succubus wanna be near a swarm.
