@@ArcaneAgent love the builds as always rocking two in my GRP atm. I know your busy but I was wondering have you tried or thought of making any builds non modded for companions to take in there story lines.
Crusader might be a more intersting setup for this build to give some extra combat feats early on. You lose one domain but protection domain is quite useless (deflection bonuses to AC don't stack and can be covered by rings or shield of faith which is a level 1 spell, super handy and scaling up throughout the game). Nobility is very good cause you can use multiple times per rest, I'd prefer community domain later on, even though it's only one use/rest, it can really turn the tides on harder encounters. You can still keep standard cleric if you want the Erastil community + animal domain combination but I usually avoid pets. For stats, I wouldn't dump CON which affect HP and fortitude saves, but rather dump CHA for example which is completely useless on this type of character and doesn't affect saves. As for stat increase with levels, I'd rather continue to increase STR for better damage and AB. There's no real point improving WIS, you can reach 19 using a +4 headband for lvl 9 spells and spell DC is irrelevant here, the character will only be using buffs. As for extra spell slots from improving WIS, the benefit is quite minimal compared to STR. Finally for feats, I'd drop Dodge (+1 AC won't make a difference cause the character will never have good AC), imp and greater blind fight (true seeing buff from cleric/arcane caster + echolocation buff from the alchemist of the group covers any mirror image / concealment penetration, from illusion or innate sources / blindfight is still useful for the gaze attack immunity which happen later in the game) and go into the power attack + cleave/cleaving finish line at the start of the game : it gives one extra attack as early as level one from a standard action and extra attacks when we kill someone, which will happen a lot with this damage dealer setup with high reach. For buffs, this character can benefit most from STR and size increasing spells such as enlarge person early on to increase the reach range of the character even further. Righteous might, Legendary proportions and Frightful aspect (which cleric has access to as a self buff) come later and are amazing.
Protection Domain Deflection bonus to AC - but you'll prolly have rings. Still, it might be okay since if your characters don't have to wear Rings of Protection then you'll be able to make actual use of some of the other nifty rings in the game that otherwise tend to go unused. (The other way to use these rings is with the Craft Magic Items mod, but that costs time & money unless you cheat. The time isn't generally a big deal and usually you're okay on money. Of course unless you use a cheat you'll have to have characters grabbing the Crafting Feats, but knowing most people they have plenty of stay-at-home companions who can be working their fingers to the bone in crafting sweatshops while your main party goes out to get cut to ribbons by monsters).
@@ArcaneAgent I feel like thats some kind of record. Like i felt smart because I made an aberrant bloodrager able to cleave 7 different targets in one round. But 17 AOO's is absurd.
Arcane Agent, if I may ask, after all your time playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker, as of 2020 current game, if you absolutely had to make a choice, what is your favorite build overall? And thank you for your time and efforts in making all these videos, Sir.
If I had to make a choice some form of arcane trickster. Being able to sneak attack with spells, as well as open locks and the amount of skills you get...i love it
@@ArcaneAgent Sorry about the bad sentence structure of my last post. I don't have a lot of experience with Kingmaker but I was inspired by your reach character builds and thought that a reach weapon slayer would have potential to be a good build. I have made an asamir slayer deliverer that uses a bardiche. I'm only level 3 so I can't say whether or not it's a good build yet. I figured you would have some wisdom to offer in this field. Also thought it would be a cool video in kingmaker or WOTR. P.S. love you work. God bless
Enjoying the builds, as always. Have you ever tried Pillars of Eternity 2? It's not based on D&D rules, but it's similar to Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, and might be worth your time--if indeed you have any time left, with Kingmaker, Solasta, and Baldur's Gate III already out there!
Just bought this game for ps4 and started to create my group with some of your builds and I think its already pretty nice already (ReachCleric/KineticistThug/SlayerDeliverer) but I think that a powerful magic class that focusses on acid damage would be quiet awesome as an addition. Got a tip or a nice build for that?
I did reach cleric build based on deity which favorite weapon is glaive, it is reach polearm too, but my spell selection definitely need revising, thank you for info.
Deff do the Fauchard cause as he says in the video these attack of opp prock on crit. The crit range on a Fauchard is 18-20 compared to others needing a 19 or a 20 to crit. Then watch the numbers fly.
@@iamthelight1823 Yes, but it cost 1 level of cleric and some perks, also cleric built around his deity favorite weapon looks more logical from roleplay perspective for me. Just another choice, one from a lot.
Hi! Love your builds (and your videos). I'm new to Pathfinder Kingmaker and I'm thinking to do a first run with one of your builds on normal difficulty. Can you give me some advice on which build to start with? I'm a veteran Poe I and Poe II player, but I'm quite new to Pathfinder mechanics. I'd also love to enjoy the story fully during my first run, so I guess that I'll need a build with a lot of skills points for Trickery, Persuasion, and so on. Am I right? Thanks and keep up the good work!
I would try one of my skill monkey builds then. It had a lot of skill points and persuasion. You can always reroll an attack, but you don't always get to reroll a skill check
I love the build, only one thing, for this build we suposse that one of our companions have the feat of "Seize the moment" because otherwise this feat would be useless, no?
Kinetic knights are decent, but I greatly prefer a regular kineticist over the knights. You can only use a blade infusion as a knight, you cant use a wall
I've been enjoying using some of your builds in the beneath the stolen lands DLC, and they work great. The only issue I've run into is when one of the nasty bosses or a Wild Hunt Monarch shows up with a hostile aura that targets their will saves. I usually have to use a Kinetecist's area damage abilities and have everyone fall way back. It works but it's not very engaging. Do you have any advice to either beef up will saves, or some spells and abilities that can protect the team?
Great build, I love combat Clerics. The way I'd personally do the point buy for this though Str 16 / Dex 14 / Con 10 / Int 8 / Wis 15 / Cha 10. Put the Racial in to Str, +2 level points in Str then the rest in to Wis for a stat line of Str 20 / Dex 14 / Con 10 / Int 8 / Wis 17 or 18 (depending if you hit level 20 or not) / Cha 10. I can personally never bring myself to sell down con on a melee character because monsters can have reach too and reach back at him. As a combat cleric you should probably not be worrying about your spell DCs, just use them to support / heal. Then you can just use a headband to get the rest of your spells up to 9th level. You don't really need persuasion unless you're doing an intimidate build or it's your main character at which point you'll get an extra 5 points to buy stats with so you can get those skill points back. That's just my two cents on how to improve it without going super min/max. I personally plan for Challenging difficulty though because I like being able to use more build options rather than having to go 100% min/max and limiting my options
Dude I seriously am thankful for it. The UA-cam and twitch grind is tough. Everyone sees these creators when they are at 1 mil and they think it's so easy. Its grind, its luck, and its people who support you that makes it possible.
I tried that idea of critfishing with my level 12 Party and yeah it works but damage reduction is a Problem... and I while i played with that I also had my ekundayo with the old devourer of metal destroying everything his Wulf does not eat first.... I think I just need the better Knives, Rapiers and more than a MW faulchard;-)
Had similar idea for Harrim due to his diety. With different domains that is. Domains: Madness and Chaos. Madness touch attack is NUTS. Basically give boss monster -~7+ for Attack Rolls AND Saves. Chaos touch attack? Lol you boss, did i meantion that you need to roll TWICE on any d20 for for whole round? I guess that you will not hit anything. And that save or suck or save or dead spells might work on you now. xD
Maybe i'll try something like this for Sosiel, he's supposed to be a reach cleric after all. Love the builds. That said I would definitely shave a point off of that massive strength stat in exchange for 3 con points and a zero constitution modifier for an off tank build. I'd probably throw the other point of str into evening out wis for an all even stat s tart and then just focus str as the build proceeds. so 18, 14, 10, 10, 16, 10 I also have a bad habit of giving all my clerics animal domain. Its hard to resist though with how strong the animals are.
Monster Tactician (Inquisitor) is surprisingly good. Grab animal domain and you’ll have your own private army. Conjuration specialized Wizard is decent too - lots of good Conjuration spells that aren’t summons too. The cleric summoner is meh.
@@ArcaneAgent Wow ... Saw the video till the end, including the MASSIVE critical hit to the feast with metric tons of attack of opportunity. And all of that on a very strong opponent to boot! I do like that build especially since it uses no just the character itself but the other in the group as well. Ahhhhh the marvel of synergy!!
how did you get his stats so high. i ran out of points and could only do 13 wisdom with the rest as you have them. i used the recruit option from many eyes
@@ArcaneAgent it's a hard time for all religious people. But persecution is something I'd gladly take on as a believer in God.
