Man, we need a written version of this and the arcane guide.
Thank you so much for all your WoTR content. I have been watching almost all of it, not just for the educational aspect, but just enjoyment.
12:37 - magic vestment was fixed/altered. It now provides armor only to body armor and shields. It now grants a bonus only to +5 without stacking. For example, if you're wearing a +2 armor, and a cleric can cast magic vestment that grants +3 armor class, then your armor will now be +3.
Yep, it won't work on robes/shirts anymore.
Hmm, dunno what I am doing wrong but gives me zero buffs to AC or Shield
@@Electronite1978 Maybe, your armor already has enchantment bonus. The same type of bonuses usually don't stack, and only the bigger bonus takes effect. So, if your caster can't overcome the bonus of the armor you're wearing - your armor class won't rise.
@@katajiro8178 Don't look like it. Tried it on all characters with and w/o armor. Gave zero buff to none of the characters. Dunno if the game is bugged.
As a sidenote this video was a great one as noticed several new ideas with buffs. First playthrough and level 5 so lot to learn. For example noticed that Healing mud actually heals ability dmg. Also Protection from Evil with immunity to Charm is huge.
When it comes to enemy that use grapple I think there were few on the tavern defence. I remember it as even now 2 of my characters have -1 negative level and I have not found more of Restoration Scrolls as I already used them too early.
Yea it's now working as intended.
I really like the guide, it sounds like we have a very similar play style.
I think it's worth mentioning "cold ice strike" which is level six for both arcane and divine casters. At first glance it seems really weak as it does 1d6 cold per level in a 30 ft line. But it's one of very few spells in the game that is a swift action by default.
I'm glad you mentioned unbreakable heart, but I think you undersold it a little bit. It removes literally any effect on a character that causes you to lose control of them. So it suppresses fear, charm, dominate, confusion, etc.
I agree with you on the weakness of level 7 spells. I usually pick up heightened spell around level 13 so I can use the level 7 slots for level 6 spells and heightened archons aura.
Thank you for the support!
I actually never gave that much thought into Ice Strike - really nice to know it is a Swift action which does matter a lot, basically free Quicken spell, very rare for a damage spell to work in such a way. Always more to learn in Pathfinder!
I think I was not able to remove Confusion from Song of Discord that some Mythic Demons love spamming, however, probably because it's not really coded as "Confusion" I guess although the effect is really pretty much the same.
But Unbreakable Heart is indeed very solid and a must.
Some quality content dude! Thank you your videos have helped me immensely.
Thank you, and glad I was able to help!
Any charisma-based caster that wants to get the most damage possible out of elemental spells can benefit from a one-level dip in crossblooded sorcerer, taking two draconic bloodlines of the same element type (such as brass + gold) to get the same effect as bolster spell on any spell with the matching element descriptor. This also works on spells they get from other classes, like fire strike, and is in fact most effective on fire strike & hellfire ray because it applies the bonus damage twice, on the fire damage half and the (un)holy damage half. If you also bolster the spell with metamagic, the result is an extra 4 flat damage for each damage die rolled (and again, this is doubled on spells with split damage types like fire strike & hellfire ray). If someone really wanted to, they could also use a mythic ability to pick up a third bloodline and get another stack of this class feature, for a potential +5 damage per die on a bolstered spell of the appropriate element.
For a single level and a metamagic feat, this can add up to 40 flat damage to fireball, 120 to fire strike, or 120 per ray to hellfire ray.
33:21 I like how this spell is basically a burst ar, does 15d6 per ray, and some of it avoids fire resist, which is based.
It's really one of the best in the game!
Another bonus for mass heal is that you don't have to make the touch attack against undead, it's just direct damage, though they still save for half. You're pretty much done with fighting undead by the point that you get it unless you're on the Lich path though.
Over 500 hours of playing and I just noticed that casting Bless completely dispels Vrocks spores.
Yeah, it can be really useful for that since Vrock Spores are really annoying.
Protection from Arrows Communal also blocks the damage!
@@cRPGBro Now that’s just weird!
The level 4 paladin spell "greater angelic aspect" is incredibly powerful. I think it's a level nine spell for wizards and clerics.
You are correct that it can be useful, mostly to open the Cloak slot for Cloaks with effects that don't give + to saves, I talked about it in my Arcane Buffs Guide instead:
ua-cam.com/video/oiGnC1XQJe8/v-deo.html
Little up with the enhanced edition, cave fangs is no longer infinit, while staying a free action, it is cap to 1 per round
Spell resistance counts for beneficials spells, not a bug, its working as intended.
Also little tip for lich player, get the lich power that gives spell resistance, because whenever someonrs fails to penetrate your spell resistance, next turn you can quickened spell for free.
I had daeran spam prayer like a mad man, two spells per turn on my lich, every round, heheheh
If you're going to the abyss, i beg you, stock for magical components in advance, storyteller that can provided you with them comes somewhat later, as an alternative you can buy scrolls, they do not require any components
Yeah, it can be useful to stock on some Diamond Dust before leaving for the Midnight Fane and entering Chapter 4!
Wait there are level 5 spells? All I see are just more slots for my highten meta magic level 4 buffs.
Well, there's always Burst of Glory but yeah, level 4 Divine spells really steal all the glory, especially Crusader's Edge!
exactly lol. 5th level slots are used to cast true strike as a swift action lol
I like your guides and have a question: Is there any good buffs in Oracle revelations that cannot be acquired from divine spells? I like Blood of the Heroes and Spirit Shield etc. but it seems you can get almost all the effects from spells. Is there any point taking them?
There are actually a lot of powerful Oracle Revelation abilities that cannot be duplicated by spells, but they are mostly passives.
Not really when it comes to actual spell like buffs, I think.
The ones I choose all fall into this category: roll 3x for Initiative, CHA to AC, free feat selection including feats Oracles cannot get otherwise like Weapon Specialization, full scaling Animal Companion, up to Oracle CL as + temp HP for all party when you heal over their max HP.
Ok here is a very niche and only half-relevant question/idea: In taking that arcane class the uses the druid spellbook, I think it's Nature Mage, then turning that into an arcane trickster with a lich spellbook merge, can you get sneak attack damage to apply to Cave Fangs? Just a thought, though I'm now curious as to what is a different path with this divine into arcane tree with a lich path and maybe converting damage to negative energy.
Hi there, I have actually tested that already and unfortunately, nope.
Cave Fangs will not get Sneak Attack damage applied to it.
The best way to increase its damage is through Paladin Mark of Justice, and also the Bane of Spirit Ring to convert all the damage to Force!
@@cRPGBro Haha ok, I thought it was a pretty out-there idea in the first place. Good to know. I would suspect that converting random druid spells into negative energy would be decent though. I have enough builds brewing now as it is, though with my one job being physical and in a room by myself I can watch a lot of youtube for keeping the mind active. And your videos and really any deep-dive for WOTR really hit the spot for that. Thanks
@@Jarredpearman You're very welcome, and feel free to send any other questions if you got them!
Boneshaker is my jam!!!
The best case use for polar midnight is clearing out rooms of those annoying 1 dex crystal enemies. If im going to a place i know they'll be, i like to pack a few.
Yeah, I've heard Polar Ray and now Polar Midnight can help with the annoying crystals because of their extremely low DEX!
@@cRPGBro polar ray probably works better, but we'll take what we can get in our divine casters
Where's that divine spell that gave your party members something like +20 to hit (not talking about true strike)? Think I saw that in one of your videos, but can't find it anywhere.
Bless is always great to have because of Vrock's lame spores ability (it dispels it).
Indeed, Vrock Spores can be very annoying to remove as they keep on ticking, Bless is great for that!
I believe you can also amusingly cast Protection from Arrows Communal to at least absorb the damage.
While magic vestment and greater magic weapon shouldn't stack with enhancement bonuses, they still have their uses. If you have a +1 weapon with a great enchantment effect and your cleric/inquisitor whatever is level 12 he can make it +3 (plus whatever else it does) so its still kind of handy. I've used it to save a lot of money while going through the midnight isles dlc.
Yeah, GMW does not stack anymore as of one of the latest patches, same for Magical Vestment.
Interesting that shield of law and cloak of chaos retained their mind-effect immunity from KM while holly/unholly aura were changed to immunity to charm/dominate. You missed sirocco in your list. Druids get it. Regarding Burst of Glory buffing circle you can increase it by enlarging your caster. The larger your caster the larger the buffing area. Great vid keep it up.
Thank you!
I talked everything about Sirocco in my Arcane Guide here:
ua-cam.com/video/JJq9deafcgA/v-deo.html
I kinda forgot Druids also have it as far as Divine.
I had no idea the aoe from Burst of Glory could be increase through size spells, that's neat.
Great info in all these videos, i just wish there was a text version of your guides =(
Thank you for the support!
Sometimes I made a few written versions with key points on Reddit or Steam.
I'll keep that in mind and hopefully I can make more of them later on!
Magical Vestment doesn't stack with armor enhancement bonuses now, which makes it nearly useless. I believe Greater Magic Weapon doesn't stack either, as of now, on 2022 / 12 / 02.
Also, Cave Fangs exploit has been fixed. It now reduces its duration by 10 minutes per cast. I still find it useful.
6:08 - "divine casters also get access to all of the animal buffs"
well, clerics don't have buffs for DEX and no-one has buffs for INT (unless we count domain spells).
Also what about pillar of life (level 5) and its uses against the undead?
I think it deserves a mentions as no-resist, no-save spell that people use to defeat one of the hardest bosses.
Other than that, very useful guide, thanks.
And now that you're doing spells guides, what about mini-guide for spells that scale past level 20? Like magical vestment you mentioned.
Hello there and thank you!
Yeah, Clerics are missing Cat's Grace, but the Nature Casters all have it I believe.
My issue with Pillar of Life is that as far as I'm aware it was nerfed or changed a while ago not to be as cheesy anymore.
So you can't for example hit Playful Darkness multiple times with it, but you still can do it just fine with the similar Angel spell Radiant Ground as I show here:
ua-cam.com/video/ac_dgg3Vrr8/v-deo.html
And sure it might be nice to explore what spells actually scale past CL 20, as that's certainly valuable information for merged Liches & Angels.
Arcane casters and bards can buff intelligence.
how about the great abjuration spells that can banish demons outright?
My issue with these spells is that they have a HD cap - and demons in WOTR have extremely inflated HD, even a single demon at Chapter 4+ can have 20-30 HD or more.
Plus they also have a save for the effect.
Elemental assessor is worse than hellfire ray in any plausible scenario. At mythic rank 10, assuming no damage resistance at all, it will do 28d6 with ele barrage procs, and a further 16d6 if lucky on the d4 roll for the number of additional rounds. There is a 75% chance that in the 2nd round, it will proc ele barrage, leading to a further 10d6. In total, 54d6, which is actually better than hellfire ray. However, this assumes no damage is resisted, and a maximum duration on the d4 roll. This will almost never be true. The reality is that you will face either immunity or DR 10 against nearly all elemental damage by this stage of the game, completely neutering the initial hit (the average damage of 2d6-10 is extremely low), so you are basically left with 20-30d6 (27.5d6 on average) from ele barrage and a trivial amount of elemental damage, unless using ascendant element. If your plan is to use hellfire ray, you presumably will be using ascendant element fire, in which case, you arent going to proc ele barrage with hellfire ray, as fire will do the most damage and therefore all damage in subsequent rounds will also be fire damage. And this is before considering fire specific gear, which will heavily skew in favour of hellfire ray which procs these effects 3 times rather than once. Its also before accounting for metamagic. As hellfire ray's damage actually comes from the spell, not elemental barrage, it will benefit fully (or with fire specific gear, near fully), from metamagic, whereas this will do very little for elemental assessor. Also, you will reach caster level 19 long before mythic rank 10.
Yeah, I personally just prefer to spam Hellfire Ray empowered with Metamagic, but Elemental Assessor can have this use if casters really want to benefit from Elemental Barrage.
It's kinda funny that Barrage is vastly more suited for melee or ranged characters because it's far easier to stack multiple sources of elemental damage on multiple attacks, while spellcasters are usually restricted to 2 spells/round, or 3 if Demon.
You can get Eagle Soul on Oracle?
Yep!
My Angel Oracle has it.
You can just learn it through normal spell progression.
Does Heal, Mass heal enemies as well?
Yes.
However, it won't damage Undead allies thankfully.
Magic weapon and magic vestment I find to be extremely abusive and unbalanced. Magic weapon is not supposed to stack with a weapons enhancement bonus, but thankfully it caps out at + 6.
Magic vestment creates an uncapped floating enhancement bonus on top of your armors existing bonus. So you could have a plus 6 suit of armor, cast magic vestment on it and get another six points of enhancement bonus. You don't even have to wear armor to use the spell. The text description of the spell is how it should be implemented, and how it is and the actual rule set, but the way it's implemented in game is hilariously overpowered and abusive. Shame on the developers for not fixing it. There's no way the Pathfinder rule set intends for a third level spell to give you a massive bonus to your armor class that stacks with literally everything and lasts for the better part of a day.
I use the table top tweaks mod which disables stacking from the magic weapon and magic vestment spells.
I like the stacking nature of Magic Weapon & GMW mostly as a way to really let even lower enchantment weapons still remain useful, but I can see why it would be pretty powerful, especially for GMW.
As far as Magical Vestment, I also don't see why it should stack, but I do like that it works even if you are unarmored (I suppose you could just wear any piece of clothing to cover yourself or your pets).
