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

[Humbaba]

We wanted you to feel great and powerful, but also face the foes that would be tricky and challenging enough. But some of the new battle encounters we designed didn’t convey our intentions properly, and we felt like the new enemies and their mechanical features needed more balancing.

Well, at least this suggests that there's not just gonna be Vavakias and Gallus for 8 straight hours. I'm still not very interested in the DLC though to be honest with you, I can't bring myself to care about some autistic robot.

 

[RunningWolf]

Look at this dood. Look at the top of his head! Look at his lips!

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Those are some dick suckin' lips. Did the Ad Mech design him?

 

[Salvo]

Why would they delay it the day before release? You stupid fucks at least give it a week or so

 

[ArchAngel]

Barbarian

Barbarian feels anemic. Blood rager is where is at. Though I also heard both rages stack, so maybe take a level of instinctual warrior?

Just pick arcane primalist and ditch those useless arcane bloodrages for rage powers, follow the Deadly Stance line of powers + the obligatory beast totem and you will want for nothing, neither AC nor damage nor crit chance. Straight Barbarian is obsolete.

Suspected as much, seeing as patch 1.2 is causing all sorts of jank. Them releasing DLC this early, while the base game is still a bit suspect would've been optimistic anyway, to say the least.

Mad Dog Barbarian is better with how mounted combat is implemented.

I hope patch 1.2 it release before that. My Trickster into Legend run is waiting for that patch to continue.

... that completely forget to give the player any motivation whatsoever, or else don't give much of a clear one.

But your character is teh cHiosEn One!!!1!1!!!1! Of course, I always did like the idea of the chosen one who couldn't give a fuck.

But this is your destiny!
Nah, screw you guys. I'm going fishing.

I guess you can't escape the city? Is that it? Is that why you don't take the completely obvious decision of fleeing the city and leaving the idiotic orc and her tranny husband that allowed the city to be invaded to deal with it on their own?

Perhaps that was intended as the hook: these poor citizens never deserved leadership this incompetent. Couldn't you do something about it?

(To which the sensible answer would be: Fuck no! Did you see what happened to that dragon?)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[LannTheStupid]

Nah, screw you guys. I'm going fishing.

Then you will die. Meaning - not from old age, but much earlier. From other... circumstances which I will not spoil.

The other side of being a chosen one is being under death threat for some unknown reason. And WotR is partially about figuring out whether there is any threat to personal existence of the main hero, and, if so, what it is.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Yes there is. Insufficient fishing time.

Delaying anything a day before release is an extremely bad sign and tells me that they fucked the DLC beyond the reasons given. Like bruh, you're the delaying the game because of "balance"? And you only noticed just NOW? Cmon, fat.

Mad Dog Barbarian is better with how mounted combat is implemented.

Yet another hot take, along with "mutation warrior is bad because no armor training"

 

[LannTheStupid]

Delaying anything instead of releasing something that does not work is good at any point. Even at the point of recall from the stores (though it costs much more).

Be patient, zuumeerz.

So CDPR did everything right with cyberpunk

No.

They should have never released the game on consoles. First, a PC version, probably with mandatory RTX, and then maybe port to the 5th gen consoles.

This might have killed their business at the release, but would have left much better impression of the game.

Well, "Demon's Souls" was a bust at the release. And then it spawned the whole new genre with the most anticipating game of 2022 coming soon.

 

[RunningWolf]

What are the ways to get mind affecting immunity on a horsey? I remember Martyr's Testament, but a ring cant fit the hoofs unfortunately.

It turned out that mind control is kind of a problem when you're riding the thing. Had to resort to scummy ranged vital strike kiting for them swarms.

That's because it continued to sell more and more and reviewed well unlike cyberpunk. Lann, please stop making shit up.

That actually makes a lot of sense, tbh.
Freaking out the horse is the best counter to cavalry.

Just one of the reasons why animal companions are a liability late game. Put mind blank on it and hope for the best.

It not my fault if you don't understand how things work. So you are saying having mount that lets you move not in straight line and still do full attack is bad (along with mount that does additional attack)?
And when enemy is next to you, you do all your attacks and mount does all of its own? And you get additional +2 to attack when flanking enemies with your mount that makes all your power attacks better as you have 10% less of a miss chance?
And that you can ignore AC for your barbarian and go full damage as nobody targets your guy with non AoE attacks while you are mounted?
And I didn't even mention Spirited Charge...
And you get all this for 2 or 3 less rage powers.

 

[RunningWolf]

Well Protection from [alignment] is supposed to be a counter to mind control in PnP, but Owlcat decided they know better.

So far i remembered mythics that can give mind affecting immunity to pets are angel via holy aura halo and lich via undeadification of the pet.

Yet another fucking build that is pushed into those two OP paths, and hes not even a caster.

 

[Humbaba]

I play turn based

Disregarded. Nevermind the fact that primalist gets AC and full damage and spells and basically everything else without having to rely on an Achilles' heel of a mount.

 

[mondblut]

Barbarian

Blood rager is where is at.

Blood rager is an abomination. Mixing Barbarian and Sorcerer in a single class... Call me purist, but imo barbarians needs to have negative opinions towards sorcery. If is a hatred or merely distrust or seeing it as a tool for weaklings, then is up to the barbarian and his tribe in question.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah but fingerbang of death tho.

I just checked out specific abilities. I do agree that it seems to be a better version of base barbarian, except Barbarians can dump Charisma, and this guy cannot. Vs Mad Dog Barbarian, it is even worse due to needing to have a high enough Charisma so that means less in physical stats. Pets are not Achilles heel, even if it fails you get your full barbarian powers and you don't have casts per day and you don't get dispelled and you don't waste slots on Enduring spells and Greater Enduring spells.

I would still take Mad Dog over Primalist in any combination.
