    I feel like it is worth mentioning that rowdy rogue works particularly well with the trickster mythic path thanks to the extra sneak attack dice. That isn't even mentioning how well the combination of vital strike and sneak attack die synergize with the advanced mobility trick.

  • @stefannelson5785
    @stefannelson5785 2 роки тому +5

    for the eldritch archer build, you can instead do Eldritch Scoundrel 8, EA 2, EK 10, or Scoundrel 10, EA 2, EK 8, depending on how important spell critical is to you.
    The advantage to this is it gets you a bunch of sneak dice on your archer :).

  • @gunndygaming
    @gunndygaming 2 роки тому +9

    For Lann, I've opted for a 3 Zen Archer/1 Roudy Rogue/16 Slayer build. Depending on what you are going for, 1 level dip into Roudy Rogue gets you the free Vital Strike feat + the extra 2d6 per sneak attack. You can then get the actual sneak attack levels from ANY class that gives it and boost Vital Strike to insane levels. Slayer gives you a lot of sneak attack levels (not as much as Rogue), but is full BAB and also gives a ton of Feat (to be able to take Improved and Greater Vital strike plus all kinds of others) and Advanced Rogue options like Crippling Blow and others. For a MC build, you can omit the 3 Zen archer levels and pick up something like Vivisectionist for 30 min mutigen and 2 more levels of sneak attack or something like that.
    Another good option is 3 Zen/1 Roudy/16 Cult Leader. Gives you all the divine spell goodness + Sneak Attack + Vital Strike + Wisdom for bows. Less Feats to work with, but you can still get the important ones along with Improved and Greater Vital strike since you don't have to get rapid and manyshots due to Flurry of Blows.

      Havent tried it yet, so someone let me know if its wrong. I read a forum from yesteryear that says the Sohei monk weapon training at level 6 works with a Flurry of Blows that stack with rapid/manyshot when taken on a bow. Plus its mounted, which brings in a whole new level of tactics.
      Just started, Primal Druid 1 for the smilodon and spells, at level 2 I'll get Sohei with weapon focus Longbow. So at character level 7, PD1/Sohei6, riding around on a smilodon with full BAB minus 1, with at least FoB on top of Rapid shot. No wisdom to damage though...
      Gave Wendu 1 level of Rowdy for fun and holy sheets is she a savage!

    I really like the Warpriest build, not something I had considered before.
    Some more great Archer builds that aren't super obvious (like Ranger or Fighter):
    3 Zen Archer/ 17 Sacred Huntsman (Inquisitor)- divine spontaneous casting for buffs plus an animal companion. Wisdom to AC while wearing no armor, which is best with super high dex anyway. Can also go all wisdom and use that for your attack rolls instead, plus bonus spell casts. Tons of attacks and you can focus on crit feats because of flurry of blows applying to arrows. Get boon companion and put 1 point into INT on the animal companion for teamwork feats. Very solid build. This is a great build for Lann.
    3 Zen Archer/ 17 Slayer- flurry of arrows plus tons of sneak attack damage without sacrificing BAB. Allows you to get wisdom to AC which can be really nice with the large stat boosting items from mid-late game that you otherwise wouldn't get much use out of as pure slayer. Study target and tons of extra Slayer abilities too. Same ability as above to ignore Rapid Shot/Many Shot feats and just go for Crit and Snap Shot feats instead. This is a great build for a certain Undead Lich Mythic Path companion I wont spoil.

  • @mattik1924
    @mattik1924 2 роки тому +2

    Currently my favorite archer build aims for ZenArcher1(WisToArmor), BowMagus2, EmpyrealSorcerer4, Ecclesitheurge3(firedomain->Scorchingrays), MysticTheurge10.
    The Key here is that the restrictions on Magus ranged spellstrikes are, that is must be a spell which exists on the Magus spelllist. Scorching ray and Hellfire ray are both (scorching ray with fire domain) present on sorcerer and cleric spellist as well as the magus spellist. With mythic abundant spells2 all the sorcerer, as well as the cleric spells, get +3 slots up to spelllevel 6 which is exactly where hellfire Ray is.
    So you get an Wisdom based archer with all the magebuffs like hurricane bow and haste/divine power, mirror image and and a lot of scorching rays and hellfire rays to cast with your ranged spellstrike.
    Tohit is not as high as a pure class and you don’t get full attacks but you can spam true strikes on enemys which are very hard to hit. With abundant spells1 and wis23 these are up to 6 true strikes from magus(11int is enough here), and 12 from sorcerer, which are perfect for manyshot which hits 2times in one attack, and true strike buffs only 1 attack.
    Add to that the mythic magearmor ability which can hit armor value of 14 at mythic rank 10 + monk wis Ac bonus and the shieldspell and you are good to go. At lvl7 33(36 with defensive fighting shots) Ac is easy to get with buffs.
    Up to lvl10 this builds pretty much just plays like a normal archer, the damage is pretty much on par with Wenduag, only that the damage comes from buffs like hurricane bow enlarge person, and acute instincts and not high stats and base attack bonus. After lvl 10 the spammable spells start come. Before that you have to spam the RayOfFrost-cantrip to get an extra attack.
    Love your channel/website, keep it going and have a nice day.

    What about taking only 11 levels of Zen Archer just to get the second extra flurry attack? Levels beyond 11 don't seem to do very much (there's only so many Ki powers you need), so you could add, say, 9 levels of Slayer for swift Studied Target and 3 sneak attack dice. Another class I think could be interesting to mix with Zen Archer, since they are both WIS based, is Instinctual Warrior. Thoughts?

ZA fuill does not have sneak attack, so would a Trickster fit great ? because he adds sneack attack or are other path better then that? Like Lick for EA/EK build. etc.

    Damn, I guess I'll have to try some of these when I finally find the time to play WotR... I've somehow never made a Multiclassed Zen Archer and also love that ridiculous Vital Strike on the Rowdy Rogue aswell :D
    My favourite "Archer" Build for my Main Character in Kingmaker was a 1 Level Alchemist Vivisectionist, 4 Levels of Sage Sorcerer, 10 Levels of Arcane Trickster and then filling up with either Sorcerer and/or Arcane Archer. "Obligatory" spell: lvl 2 Sense Vitals and optional lvl 6 Transformation if one wishes to complete longer engagements with fewer Spell Slots, otherwise mostly the longer term Buffs for the Group. And when picking up Arcane Archer also the Prestigious Spellcaster/Favored Prestige Class Feats though not sure whether the Feats were added by Mods as I think the base game didn't do much with 'Favored Classes'...
    Kind of a Buffer and Master of none but quite wide spread with available Skill points so I found it appropriate for a Character I can't leave behind at Camp to have a bit of everything so that I can specialize all the other Characters.

      When you inspect enemies you have few types of armor class. General ac, flat-footed (without dex usually) and touch ac (basically without armour or natural armor).

    Zen archer is strongest early game, but it falls off hard as you level up compared to other archers.
    Manyshot is much better than flurry once most of your damage comes from static modifiers like Str bonus, bane, divine power, crusader's edge, sun marked, studied target, etc.
    Multiclassing into zen archer instead of using manyshot is a bad trade.
    Even in PnP, where we don't have half the stuff that's in this game, Warpriest and Inquisitor DPR is nearly double Zen Archer by level 10 or so.
    I noticed the video also didn't really factor accuracy at all. That also pushes classes with things like divine power and study target ahead of the rest on average, which should matter a lot given high stats of enemies in this game.
    There was also brief mention of penetrating strikes, but not of Align Weapon completely bypassing all DR with no limit, not costing a feat and being castable on other party members.
    Most effective archers should be Sacred Slayer and Warpriest.

    • @Mafia18822
      @Mafia18822 2 роки тому

      I played an Eldritch Archer in Kingmaker, so forgive me if the information I have is different in WotR (currently playing a paladin because of course), it was the most disgustingly OP thing I've ever seen, even if the choice of spells were very limited.
      The ranged spellstrike was simple enough, when you have it activated it gives you a penalty to your attacks but whenever you cast a spell that makes a **single target ranged spell roll** (read Snowball, scorching ray, hellfire ray, disintegrate), instead of it just casting the spell, you make a full round attack (with all the attacks it implies) using your weapon attack bonus on things (instead of a spell attack), and if it hits, the first strike will be an arrow attack (which applies all the bonuses from your weapon/feats and whatnot) and it will be as if you also cast the spell and hit with it, so all the rays of a scorching ray will hit, they can crit if your bow crit, all that stuff.
      What ends up happening is that you get to do like 500 damage+ on a single turn if you get a crit with your first attack when you cast a spell. It is insane, I loved every second of it.
      And I played a full 20 eldritch archer build, it can be even more insane if you min/max

      weapon finesse = a weapon you're able to use DEX for hit instead of STR
      Composite (long and short)bow = add STR modifier to dmg (dex to hit with ranged stuff by default)
      Normal bows only do the basic weapon dmg, composite adds STR, crossbows can't be composite (unless some magical variant I don't know of)
