WOTR is deff harder, feels like overturned at times if you don't like non lore/rp builds.
Also, there's a new buff bot mode and some cool tweaks (Bubbles Ultimate Buff Bot Lite Extra Simple and BubbleTweak)

People just need to adjust their character concepts and RP. I mean, who here hasn't dreamed of playing a descendant of dragons who trained as a monk before being chosen by the Gods to become a paladin before leaving that life behind to pursue his true passion of vivisection? Morons. That's who.
Meanwhile, I am completely wrecking 99% of the game with my pure sword saint, pure kineticist, pure witch, pure wizard, pure druid, ranger/slayer party. There's the occasional spiky fight (like demodand conspiracy), and it's not like I can just turn on rtwp mode and watch but still.

So what's a cool class for actually using armor? Obviously mage armor + monk dip is superior to everything else in terms of AC, but what's a decent medium/heavy armor build?
And has anyone managed to figure out how to make a transformation build work?

I think the endgame of kingmaker is harder than WotR just because of Nyrissa minions spamming one spell (don't remember the name). It is a pain in the ass, the endboss is easier than this fuckers.

The WotR have more boss fights, but the minions are less buffed, so is OK.

But I'm still didn't play in unfair, I'm keeping to lich run.

Haven't tried myself, but this guy played straight Shieldbearer until ch.5 on hard/unfair (went Legend on ch.5 with Stalwart Defender and some other classes from what I could see).


Warpriest seems a class someone would enjoy more turn based than rtwp, too much micromanaging and buffs that dont last long.

This is a poll the composer of the OST is having on his channel:

Do you need extended versions of music tracks from Wrath Of The Righteous? If so, which ones?

[insert poll here]

Yes, I have my YT in Romanian. I'm sure you can follow. :)




EDIT: please remember that he's offering to do this for free, at the moment of this post, so say what you will about the Ruskies, their devotion to the music in their game(s) is god tier.

And the soundtrack is fantastic to begin with.

I think straight Fighter for 20 levels works. Armor Training for dex bonus and get UMD so you can have Nenio craft Mirror Image scrolls for you. Or, grab some INT, go Trickster, take all 3 UMD tricks, and you'll also have a wizard book that you can use to cast personal buffs like Seamantle and Frightful Aspect (end of ch.4 tho) and access to Mirror Image and other buffs from the Trickster spellbook until you get there.

Haven't tried myself, but this guy played straight Shieldbearer until ch.5 on hard/unfair (went Legend on ch.5 with Stalwart Defender and some other classes from what I could see).


Or, Oracle + Battle Mystery + Angel path. Enjoy plate armor, heavy shield and 24h buffs. :troll:

24h buffs means little when you cannot turn 1 round/level buffs into 24h buffs.
1 h/lvl buffs already last as long as I want them and 1 minute/level buffs with Extend spell (and Rods) also last as long as I want them. It is better to get mythic ability that turns your extend metamagic into +0 to spell level and you can get free Extend for all your spells.

A buff needs to last 5 mins base to get to 24h. round/level lasts 6s/level. So you'd need 5*60/6 = 50 caster level, throw in the extend metamagic feat and it goes down to CL 25 which can be reached in act4/5 with the right combination of feats/items/mythic path.

The extended buff feats are more about being able to apply buffs every other or every third rest as I see it.

Have there been any announcements about dlc's so far ? I'd like something like Beneath Stolen Lands dungeon dlc for the first game.

I have question, can I rush to capture Drezen, then explore the rest of the map or if I capture Drezen will advance to the next chapter and lock me out from the rest of the locations.

My Angel He-MAN Mad Dog Barbarian run is going well. Damn, this class is strong. When I attack on my mount we give each other flank, pack tactics and Outflank and you got a permanent +6 to all attacks lol. I just go into rage, I got power attack and mythic power attack on and I do 40+ damage per attack without criticals. Mount does another 15 damage per attack.

BTW, is there a way to save Staunton or his brother? I feel like I could have done something...

You can, locations will remain available. You will, however, have to complete any quest marked in the journal as mandatory to be done in that chapter and, if you're trying for the Sadistic Game Design achievement, will have to kill all optional bosses before the end of the chapter. Other than that, I do not believe there is anything else mandatory to be done in ch.2
Afaik the mandatory things in ch2 are the ones marked like that in your journal, and unlocking mythic paths (if you did act1 properly, the only mythic path left to unlock is lich).

If you're just looking for the mythic path unlock achievement
It will pop as soon as you meet Zacharius. I got it and I killed him when we first met.
