    I love the idea of playing a Reformed Fiend going the Angel mythic path. It's like the ultimate redemption and rejection of the demon blood within the tiefling's veins. Besides, there is a little loading blurb where the game gives this hint, which states "If angels can fall, can demons ascend", or something along those lines.

    I got about midway through the game with a Crusader Cleric! They're a lot of fun. I went as a follower of Erastil for Animal domain, and a blacksmith (I think) background so I could use and specialize in Warhammers. It's a really good character, especially if you're like me and want to play something thematically similar to a paladin without being tied to LG.

    I love when the role I want to play as a main character will synergize well with the mechanics. I tend to be about mechanics more in gaming, but I love RPG's as my only genre because I get to play someone I'm obviously not. (Fantasy is my thing, in all shapes and sizes. At least until a dragon mistakes me for a Scooby Snax) I tend to dive deep into the mechanics to try to find the best way to play the character I want to play - and yes, it takes as long as it sounds like it would to get it right. Swear my middle name should've been "Restart."
    * People liked Viv in Kingmaker for the sneak damage and the mutagens. I tried it, but I couldn't make it work the way I wanted. I prefer straightforward damage and buffs. I did like the concept as I understood it, I just found it very finnicky.

      Vivi vs most other alchemists isn't even about which is more powerful, it's all about which playstyle you want to play. A vivi alchemist plays like a rogue, and should be treated as one, not like a bomber or spellcaster. They're bonkers if built and played right, but very different.

    Vivisectionist is just OK in the PC Game. Vivisectionist in tabletop (Pen and Paper) has some INCREDIBLE discoveries available.. like splitting mutagen which creates an exact duplicate of you with all the same equipment, splitting hp evenly between the two. There is a drawback if you get killed, but don't get killed! The ability to double your sneak attack, flank with yourself, get all the teamwork feat bonuses with yourself for a very short time is incredible! Plus you get same sneak attack progression as a Rogue and some spells(extracts). If you don't like anything available to you at a specific level with a medical discovery, just take a combat feat or rogue talent. Just saying :)

    I loved my thunder caller bard in kingmaker! One of the best things about the bard levels is it drops the standard action to play a song down at the different intervals. Eventually you get thunder call as a swift action and a move action then the standard action. Once going your able to throw 3 sonic aoe damage performances that can also stun is some nice damage and crowd control.

    Probably won't change your mind on the pronunciation, but wanted to give some infos : cavalier and chevalier are both french words, chevalier (pronunced in french exactly like you pronunce cavalier) translates as knight in english, while cavalier (pronunced kava-lee-hey in french) translates as horseman, cavalry man or horse rider. The description of the class and the choice of subclasses seem to blend both words though (on one hands orders are definitely very related to knighthood, not to cavalry, so are duels, etc.. but on the other hand no way that a beastrider, a (mounted) pikeman or a gendarme (some type of law enforcer, policeman kinda) would be knights.

    What a fun video idea! Love hearing what people value in archetypes.
    Personally on my first playthrough I played as a Skald with one of my fave archetypes in Pathfinder; Demon Dancer. Just love the flavour of it, and having a party of melee fighters (Regill, Woljif, Camellia and my self) with tons of extra attacks and stuff is so fun. Also the Skald in general just brings so much fun stuff, that lets you fill several roles in the party.
    Other stand outs to me are; Possessed Shaman, the sylvan druid and the Dragon Adept fighter.

    Bombs are great because of touch attack and enemies tend to have low touch AC and holy/force bombs are great vs demons, however they do have some disadvantages compared to kingmaker. I have not found a single bombedier belt in WotR whereas you could get 10 extra bombs a day with the one you got in kingmaker, which really cuts down on how many you can have. There's also the issue that because of inflated stats on enemies, it takes a lot more damage to kill them, and you can really burn through bombs quickly and with the corruption mechanic you can only take so many rests before you start getting hit by hard penalties unlike kingmaker where you just needed to bring along camping supplies. This really sucks on the longer dungeons like midnight fane where you are fighting a ton of encounters.

    On Bloodrager, I've just completed my first playthrough on Core as a Bloodrager Primalist 16/Dragon Disciple 4 as a Gold Dragon and I like it quite a bit. The ability to pick up some rage powers, in particular pouncing from the Beast Totem line, means that when a dragon comes barreling down a hallway as a charge that target is very likely dead in the first round. Even when I was missing (and you miss a fair amount on core just due to the insanely high ACs they put on some things) I was still dealing a boatload of damage with Destructive Shockwave since my Strength was always 50+ in Gold Dragon form. Toss in Shatter Defenses/Cornugon Smash line and as long as a target can be shaken you just devour them.

    Recently i started a gestalt run on Hard probably will bump it to custom unfair for the sake of fairness. Gestalt makes you level up two classes at the same time, usual can be wizard/sorc or oracle/paladin. You should give it a try since it opens up to a lot of fun mix while allowing you to test the game on much harder difficulty. Turns out the hellknight rescue mission in the cave can be a real headache on hard and above, I restarted it like 8 times to avoid having someone die.
    I went grenadier/brown-fur on nenio. To be honest I don't use her arcanist slot as much as I expected on buffing because they last long enough for most encounters or you don't have enough arcane pool to keep buffing and using buff spell, at least it allowed my reformed fiend 2H weapon to hit for +20 and 35-50 dmg at level 5/6 .
    Besides vivisectionist is great but not as pure, usually it's either a dip or I found a 4 knife master/16 vivi that works very well on base woljif, grand mutagen and cognatogen seems insane but you have access to them only at level 18 meaning most of the game is already over so just like a lot of level 20 class feature it makes you realize the most important part of a class is level 4 to 17.
    In my opinion, Instinctual warrior is a real contender to best unarmored tank even just as a few dip, Sword Saint and duelist to some extend are insane too.

      How did you do a gestalt run in WOTR? I had a lot of fun with those in Kingmaker using the gestalt mod but I can't find one for WOTR. Did you use toybox for that? Is there an option to freeze character level so that you can do two level ups for one or something? Can you describe how you did it?
      Also on topic of the video in regards to having fun with lightning. I heard that spellcasting Azata is crazy when you combine chain lightning with zippy magic and that other magical super power that I forgot the name of(and mythic feat to ignore elemental resistances of course because of demon immunities). I haven't tried it myself but from what I've heard and seen you can probably slot chain lightning into every single spell level with metamagic and just zap everything all day long. Make sure to use the blue haired rock general portrait for maximum immersion. You won't kill 666 units with a single scorching ray but it'll be close enough.

    I'm the same way as regards roleplay versus maxing gameplay. Nothing wrong if someone has fun min-maxing and going for maximum results if they enjoy the challenge of doing that and are having fun. But for me...it's not so much optimal builds as it is my character perception and style. That's why I prefer playing at the lower difficulty levels. Beyond core, I think you really do have to emphasize gameplay and character building mechanics through min-maxing and you have to go with mercenaries rather than companions (with the possible exception of the elven dreadnaught Ember). Again, if someone enjoys the challenge and difficulty of playing at the higher difficulties, that's great. The most important thing is to have fun.

    • @SlanderedGaming

    Just an FYI, the final Lich-only companion is a storm caller bard, so you can get some experience with them that way. Sadly, you only get them very, very late (they're in Iz), but IIRC, they do actually have a vaguely sensible build - unlike, say, the first lich companion, who was built by a drunk monkey rolling across a keyboard.
    And I appreciate the 'flavour over mechanics' approach - my aborted (due to bugs) demon playthrough was with a Feral Champion warpriest, and I'm dipping my toe into playing with a Kinetic Knight now (aiming for Aeon). Neither are 'meta' - the latter class is meme-tier - but I like the idea of them, so that's what I rolled with. Not like I'm playing on unfair or hard, where you're kinda forced into meta play.

I made them a Bloodrager, with the bloodlines that gave as much reach as possible, and they were an absolute *blender*. I swear, they alone did over 40% of the entire group's damage (my lich was more about disabling than damage - the only reason it's not higher is the archer character you get early on was also very deadly). Really, it's only the first character where you're really left scratching your head and wondering 'wtf?!'. And he was still an effective tank for me, thanks to warpriest's swift-action self-healing.

    Personally, for Bard, I think base Bard is best Bard.
    A fair chunk of the fandom swears by Archeologist, and some of the other sub-classes (like Dirge) have some good abilities for specific builds. But really no subclass or archetype in Bard outshines the Bard itself, particularly in turning your entire party into a wrecking machine.
    That said I kind of don't like Bard (of any type) as the Main Character, thematically, for the same reason you don't particularly envision Brown Fur Arcanist as a Main Character. But that's probably the real main reason lots of people like Archeologist - it's more stand-alone-character (or, selfish, compared to the base Bard). But that strength is also its drawback because you'd get better personal enhancements just going Magus or Slayer or Inquisitor or Ranger or...you get the point. Not that Archeologist is bad, it's just not, to me, the way to go with Bard.

    My favorite playthrough in the beta (when it went to Act 4) was with a Cleric Crusader going Angel mythic path. I wanted a character that could cast, but also stand in the front and it worked out pretty good. Alot of those Angel spells were so OP I was killing everything so fast lol. Right now I'm playing as a Magus Sword Saint/Duelist Aeon, and the mythic class abilities seem a little weaker, but the resistances are pretty good. Sword Saint + Duelist makes up for any shortcomings though with my AC hitting like 70+. Needless to say, most enemies need to roll a 20 to hit that guy lol I also always make a grenaider merc cause bombs :). Next character I wana try to make a Sorc/Dragon Disciple (with a 1 monk dip) going Lich or Gold Dragon, or I was also thinking Barbarian/2 handed fighter then going legend (that +40BAB sounds pretty amazing lol).

      @brainnsfw7346 3 роки тому

      If you're going heavy into 2HF, I've heard a lvl 1 dip in Rowdy is amazing for Vital Strike. Apparently going 2HF class is the best way to abuse Vital Strike mechanics: it scales much better with STR than with Sneak Attacks. Then simply grab the improved Vital Strike feats (and Mythic) whenever you can and you should be golden. Bonus points for using a Fauchard (6ft range and best crit range) or Scythe (amazing crit multiplier and Wide Sweep basically turns VS into a nuke).

    • @chaotic_intent
      @chaotic_intent 3 роки тому

      @@brainnsfw7346 I've never really used Vital Strike so that sounds pretty interesting so I'll probably give it a shot, although I think if going Legend path you wont really have to worry about dips for feats since you'll get so many. In my current playthrough I've got Seelah as a 2HF/Paladin (went to level 8 fighter for greater weapon focus) with a Fauchard. I use power attack and corrungun (forgot how to spell it lol) smash which works ok. She hits like a truck though safely behind my sword saint lol

    • @brainnsfw7346
      @brainnsfw7346 3 роки тому

      @@chaotic_intent Well, the dip in Rowdy is usually for the Vital Force "feat" that's exclusive to Rowdy rogue. That adds 2d6 dmg for every lvl of sneak attack you have (basically tripling your sneak attacks), if you're using Vital Strike. In other words: the dip gives you some tasty bonus dmg (3d6) on top of a free Vital Strike feat. If you add some bonus sneak attacks through feats (not a huge priority if you're going for 2HF, but definitely nice), you get another 3d6 instead of 1d6. With the huge amount of free feats as a fighter, this can scale pretty out of hand. If you're doing Legend, this could combine great with Slayer (after 2HF 20), as they get full BAB, a good chunk of sneak attacks and bonus feats as well.

    The thing about Vivisectionist is that it should not be compared to other Alchemists.
    The reason Vivi is praised so much is actually that it's a better rogue in every possible way.
    On top of the full Sneak attack progression you get Mutagen, spellcasting in armor and Discoveries, plus being Int based means you are an even better skillmonkey.
    The only notable things you lose are free weapon finess (aka 2 feats), uncanny dodge and debilitating strike, which are not really enough to compensate.

Will be much stronger at melee with rage, speed boost and nice buffs with 1 min/level duration vs paladin. Taking a 2nd bloodline like serpent will make it even stronger. There's not many melee classes that make use of her cha for something if you want to get off of boring plain paladin.
