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

Another benefit of the mount is the armor you can wear on harder difficulties. Since your AC matters little, its one of the few builds where its beneficial to wear armor for its non AC properties. Armor of comradery you get in ACT2 for example is +4 damage at all times which is basically free Greater Weapon Specialization that works for all weapons and natural attacks. Most regular melee builds cant wear something so low AC on Hard and Unfair, at least with how i play.

Teamwork feats are epic for mounts. The problem is weak res to charms and all sort of mind controls. If you fall of the mount - rip.

Lvl 8 priest spells give everyone in AoE immunity to most charms and will based spells so it does not matter for late game.

Yeah, but dying to your own mount is eh... not cool.

Mind control of mounts was resolved with the item mentioned above.

Bookworm circle is prety good for Animal companion. Imunity to mind control + 2 int for feats

Also i still take Last Stand even on a mounted class because sometimes enemies have bursts of brilliant AI and target you instead of the mount. Last Stand prevents 90% of reloads in the game in my experience. Best mythic ability by far, because while it doesn't make you stronger it saves a ton of real life time.

As well as we know that Crom lives beneath the everlasting sky and is weaker than it.

Now I'm wondering if a Barb/Rogue build could work out.

You know what could work? A blood rager/Vivisectionist or slayer.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Crom laughs at you from his mountain.

We both know Conan multiclassed.

Tengri also laughs at you.

How's the beta going?

That happenes if target, enemy attacked, goes out of range/die/disappear - 1 round enemy attack cavalier, even if he a bit out of range ( i report this problem since beta, sadly nothing changed).

Soon a DLC will release.

But a question. Will OwlCat end the development cycle of this game and start their next game before BG3 EA ends?

 

[Haplo]

Just because your Mad Dog character pwned a few monsters doesn't make it objectively better than Primalist bro

Yes it does. Testing hypothesis is always superior to theorycrafting.

EDIT: What does Primalist give you that you don't get from other party members? Shield? Mirror Image?
You don't need either while you are on a mount.

Actually, I like to have a Vivisectionist with Infusion Discovery in my party (for example Woljif), so I'm not missing Shield...

Yes, I think it also prevents Confusion.
Then you have Remove Fear level 1 spell - later Greater Heroism.

 

[Thonius]

It's all good and fine until you meet a dude with dispelling, or you just cannot prebuff ( did not bother to take what was it? prolonged spells or whatever)

 

[Parabalus]

So after all the nerfs, who can get round/level spells to 24h? Just Lich and Angel?

Give me cute Starfinder wifes!

 

[Chaoneu]

Imaging, enemy dispelling everything beside 24h transformation

Last stand is basically mandatory, even for non-melee classes. Because you'll encounter enough demons peppering your wizard with arrows or spawning right on top of your backline to wipe it within seconds.

Combining the best classes in the game sounds like cheating.

No, starfinder lacks full casters. I rather OwlCat adapting a retroclone/OSR game or GURPS.

 

[Haplo]

Also Legend, I think? Plus specific spells/schools are possible for full casters with Spell Specialization and items boosting school Caster Level.

[Humbaba]

[Infinitron]

Enjoy the exploration theme of Axis from the new Inevitable Excess DLC, by Mikhail Kotov!

So Spell Specialisation +2 & Goggles of Mind Control +2 & one of Xanthir Vang Book (Enchantment +1) / Ashmaker (Evocation + 2) / Scimitar of Wind (Transmutation +1) / Delamere's Armor (Plant Domain +2, many are Transmutation so it would work without spec with the Scimitar)? Did I miss any options?

What about this Cloak of Arcane Reserves? Can't remember finding that in my run.

 

[Haplo]

There is also the Spell Master wizard archetype with Focused Spells for +4 CL. Sadly he cannot use his ability often.
And Arcanists - they can boost CL by 2 by burning Arcane Pool - that's a much more robust resource.
