I wonder if some sort of community domain herald caller with ascedant summons and aeon summoner's gaze can work on Core and above.
This combination has crossed my mind, and I did go through character creation a bit to mentally map things out, and it is a viable build - in theory. I'm not sure if there are any items to support it, though.

What is best class/class combo for Aeon mythic path?
Mechanically, Aeon's number of bane charges stacks with Inquisitor's. But I feel it's actually a bad fit lore wise since Inquisitors are instruments of their god while Aeon's deal is not about any god in particular. So my Aeon PC ended up as a Quarterstaff Master.

Motherfucking deskari, cannot kill him on core. First problem is unequipped sword after dialog (fucking hell, sur eit get buffed but fuck you), that robc mc from one turn and charge, finean deals 0 dmg for some reason and fucking combat log bugs out because of swarm immunity to auras. Things that carried me to that point fail. And that bigger never fails any saves.

You can equip weapons mid combat, but I believe it takes a move or standard action so you'll be half a turn behind. No clue why Finnean isn't dealing damage, must be bugged. My general strat vs Deskari is to have one aoe blaster to kill the swarms he spawns, to split all my characters so that swarms and aoe will only hit one at a time, and to focus him down with my melee martials. Ranged characters are pretty pathetic vs him because of his concealment (that as far as I can tell has 0 counters.) Then you'll probably want someone to deal with nausea, some mythic paths are straight immune, but generally you'll need someone to spam remove sickness/heal.

Problem is my main is arcane rider, I don't have problem hitting him and dealing lots of dmg the problem is he targets mc and not a mount ( rare behavior for wotr mobs). Also Regil dies super fast to him. Aru hits him alright with instant enemy and quarry but it's not enough.

Yeah Deskari is very hard to tank, try to use greater invis, he has a habit of dispelling true sight off of himself but you can dispel it too. Just make sure to dispel greater invis on yourself after the fight if you have enduring spells BECAUSE you need to talk to an npc after the fight and the npc doesn't have true sight or see invis.

Summoner works fine thanks to gaze that buffs summons and stacks with summoning mythic feat. Summoner inquisitor will give all of your summons teamwork feats. Abyssal sorc will give you max summons possible thanks to his unique bloodline passive. On last level you can dip loremaster and get druid secret and select purple worm, it will have godlike stats thanks to the buffs. Can go crossblooded sorc and grab lizard bloodline for free swarm spell.

I went Monk/Student of Stone. It was pretty nice. But, I like monks, so take that with a grain of salt.

If that's not your cup'o'tea, I can see Judge being an equally satisfying experience. Especially now that they unbugged the class.

An Wizard/Abjurer can also work.

I'm trying a Sensei Aeon right now.

Mid chapter 3. It's....passive, but it's effective with the right party. Besides the Brown Fur Transmuter, everybody is a vital striker (even my divine caster) so they can take advantage of the mass true-strikes.

Badass.
Can't do it though. Unless you also have an alternative voice set for her. The current would clash too much with such a great portrait, her annoying black voice would grate on my nerves even more.

I would go attack gaze instead of summoner's. I think high level summons have something like 20 base AB so I feel that even with all buffs they would still be mostly meat shields even with nobility, community and gaze. Attack gaze gives them more AB than summoner's gaze. This build is also frustrating since aeon seemingly only gets 3 choice of gaze early and that's only DC, CL and DR. The second gaze choice is M5 and you have to wait even longer for bane to summons and double gaze for both attack and summoner's gaze.

Loremaster spell secrets aren't in the game. Iniquisitor is nice for bane stacking but not super great summoners since you can't use a single spell more than once. And the extended duration is moot, your summons are gonna die quite fast regardless, it's better to just be able to swarm the enemy with a lot of them (Also inquisitors do not get access to high level summoning spells through their spellbooks). I would honestly just go druid or herald caller cleric like Delt mentions. Both can summon spontaneously and get to be full casters at that, and benefit from the aeon DC gaze which you will have to pick anyways. Plus Druid gets access to the crazy spider swarm summon, Elemental swarms and the worm.

Camelia great? Opinion discarded.
Big words coming from a dude with that profile picture.

And yeah, camellia is great fun. 8/10 companion, would put in party again.
Here's the full companion tier list
S: Regill
A: camellia, ember
B: daeran, aru
C: wendy, nenio, woljif
D: seelah, sosiel, lann
F: greybor
(Also inquisitors do not get access to high level summoning spells through their spellbooks).
Iirc the summoner inquisitor subclass (monster herald? something like that) gets full summon progression as a class feature.

Tbh I don't think summons are very good in this. Even with the mythic feats to buff them, they just don't have the stats to hit hard. They're decent as tanks, especially if you can get the enemy to focus on a spider swarm (as it is mostly immune to regular attacks).

Damn, they have broke Blackwater circlet machine, AGAIN.
It was bugged before if you do the things in incorrect order, then it was working ok but you needed skill check.

Now they have added endless attempts to skill check, with endless xp farm to the boot, but dialogue never recognize the original circlet in my bag so the damn thing never works. And I am DDing to the last 3 rooms again.

Holy shit!

This is a big misconception. They do get spell-like abilities for summon monster 9 but they have limitations. Namely you can only have one summon monster x spell-like ability up at the same time, in exchange they have longer duration. Casting from spellbook, you can cast the same summon monster spells as many times as you want and summons will keep piling up without canceling each other. And inquisitors only get up to summon monster VI in their spellbook.

Just finished my lich run, with crusade mode addon, because fuck that shit again. Huge power spike at mythic level 3, you get the best spells right away, Corrupted Blood and Repurpose. No enemies that matter are immune to the first one, and with Repurpose end game Mariliths and archers that you can buff on top of their stats are clearing whole maps. You could probably solo unfair if you pick your battles when you unlock mythic path, but i would get bored and didn't try it. I was playing in turn based mode this time, only than can you notice bunch of funny stuff. Like your "army" that helps you at Treshold are like five hellknights with 60hp, while you are fighting with 1500+ hp enemies. Summoning spells still suck, a dragon that you get at mythic level nine is soloed by a level 15 trash mob. Game is still a buggy mess, keyboard keys would randomly stop responding at the last map, space bar bug etc. Also that designer that came up with shaking screen at Treshold should be sent to Siberia, still the game is addictive for combatfags so all in all good job Ruskies.
Areelu fight spoilers

she failed her save on Absolute Death after, and fight was over:lol:

I feel like we are playing a different game, repurpose take like 2 turns to animate, and most battles take 5 turns max even boss fight(except deskari fuck that dude)

How much are you sleeping that you can afford to cast your highest level summon multiple times per fight?

But yeah, that is a limitation, especially for bosses and the like. Although at the same time, against bosses summons will hit on 20+ so they're kinda useless anyway.

F: greybor

Why?

He's a real bro.

Commander, give me 12500 gold or I'll kill you. *dies in one turn because he's a shit character and even if he wasn't 1v6 are not good odds*
I might be biased, I never took him on a quest I didn't have to. But every single interaction I had with him tells me he is a boring character with a boring build.

His build is ass. He has some funny dialogue in camps and what not but thats about it for his character. And some funny dialogue if you get the respect ending for his quest.
