DeathSandwich posted:Kineticist is *really* powerful in the right hands, but also can be kind of fiddly and weird. Kinetecist really doesn't do multiclassing because most of their poo poo doesn't really mix well with other classes. You also have EXCEPTIONALLY poo poo skill growth, on par with a fighter, minus one subclass that is obligatory evil. thank you for the write up. I was looking at a build to get an idea of how they work (mostly familiar with 3.5 so it's not super hard to interpret) https://www.naguide.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous-demon-builds/ dunno if it's good or not, but i figure i'll give it a shot.

DeathSandwich posted:I don't have a map built out, but if you want a dead easy one: Start with Earth. Pick up bowling infusion to trip on hit, and then get the one to bypass damage resistance. At level 7 when you get the second element you can literally go whichever direction - there are nice things you can get out of any of the combinations. ah ok, i was actually confused if it was kin knight or not because it took kinetic blade at 3 which they get for free at 1.

this is probably in the thread but i don't have search. some scripting issue (i'm guessing) is causing the game to just stop working when I emerge from the bottom floor of the garrison next to the wardstone. Is there some fix to this? I've tried reloading etc.

my kineticist has kinetic blade but is still taking AoO for attacking in melee with it. so that's pretty cool.

anyone know how i could possibly fix this issue with kineticist kinetic blade not preventing AoO in melee? It really kinda sucks

anyone know how to open this door? also i think i'll just respec out of kinetic blade i guess, it's useful cause i can use it to coup de grace but otherwise it loving sucks that its bugged Tabletops fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Sep 6, 2021 |

anyone getting bad like freezing and stuff when mousing over bodies, in combat etc. it's kinda like hitching but seems to happen whenever a window will pop up or something. just wondering if theres some way to fix it.

re my issues with kinetic blade getting AoO's on attack good news. i respec'd, and it fixed it. i don't get AoO's anymore. bad news, I can no longer use ranged kinetic blasts

is there a way to use your companions spells to remove a negative level for instance, in your main camp? I can't figure out how if there is.

Sab Sabbington posted:I'm surprised to find that I haven't really run into any performance issues whatsoever on my 980 even at quite high settings, seems--like a lot of things about this game--it's just made weird as hell. My kins damage is falling behind now (lvl8, just started drezen) compared to seelah(actual beast with her horse and both buffed), relig and lann all doing more damage. That’s mostly due to her not having multiple ranged attacks though, her single hits with empower are 35-50ish. Once I get melee working again it’ll be a lot better with 3 attacks. She does get mega trips though. And with overflow, etc my dmg bonuses go through the roof with a few burn. Supposedly it works very well with a demon thing but I don’t know how and I don’t know when or how to unlock the demon mythic path. There’s also that mythic ability that gives you bonus damage when you hurt an ally, which I think will work every time I get a burn point? Haven’t tried yet though so maybe not.

Infinity Gaia posted:I eventually had to turn the difficulty down for Blight Maw or whatever he was called. Yeah, I know he's optional, but drat dude. Is it even possible to defeat something like that on difficulties above maybe Core? I can see how an actually optimized party might do better than my "I don't know what I'm doing so everyone just monoclasses whatever they came in as" build but even so... these systems are all about minmaxing. the difference between a /whatever/ build and something theory crafted to a T is like night and day in terms of performance

cool seems like improved precise strike doesn't work, still gets miss chance against concealment that isn't 100%

welp, respecd multiple times, tried taking kinetic blade later, tried taking it earlier, tried taking it after respecing. still provoke AoO's when i attack with it. shits just broke i guess

boy i really loving regret releasing the bugs on this castle. I haven't updated the game yet cause the new bugs sounded awful but the old bugs(pun intended) just loving bulldozing my entire party is real loving annoying. the only way i've been able to beat them is to go in with my kin with 4 stacks of DR, and slowly try to whittle them down before she passes out. edit: also I switched out ember for the demon lady in the dungeon and that was a loving mistake. I thought she was a bard or something but she's a loving ranger. Now I have no one that can use all my arcane scrolls. is there anyway to switch out companions during the siege? I feel kinda screwed if i don't have a arcane caster/scroll monkey Tabletops fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Sep 8, 2021 |

Captain Oblivious posted:Punch it mostly. My melee are easily hitting like 20-22 AB at level 8. Drop its AC by 4 with Evil Eye on Ember, then Cackle. Whether it succeeds its save or fails it doesn't matter, the Evil Eye sticks. dang im lucky to get 19 on my melee at lvl 9. what am i doing wrong

how do you beat minahgo and co? stauntun has +40 to hit and does like 50 damage a swing, my best tank has 36 ac all out and gets two shot. the gnome paralyzes my entire party and minahgo has like 40 ac so i have trouble hitting her nvm i just sent seelah on stauntun and she clapped him in one round Tabletops fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Sep 8, 2021 |

imo use the auto crusader battle, it lets you fight it if you want instead if you don't like the outcome. the AI can absolutely determine you a winner of truly unwinnable battles (if you fought them yourself) simply based on whatever metrics it uses to determine losses automatically.

Vargs posted:I had to stop using the Kineticist companion because Deadly Earth was too brokenly overpowered. Deletes the entire screen with no limit per day. Completely trivializes everything. So that's not a bad choice if you just want pure power, though Deadly Earth doesn't come online until level 14 (not that Kineticist is bad before then). Probably want to start with Fire then Earth, or Earth and then Fire. super suggest starting earth since like 90% of the game has fire res 10+ also DR stacking and trips are really really useful

DeathSandwich posted:Fun fact too is that it works with greater trip to give your other guys in melee free opportunity attacks on their way to the floor. If you have combat reflexes on the melee guys they also still get to attack for free when they stand up still as per normal. It's great for mosh pitting enemies to death. Yeah fire is what I picked up at level 8 or whatever. Torrent was my first aoe ability pickup.

DeathSandwich posted:Just ac iirc. However, the sword saint Int to ac ability stacks with the one from duelist if you want to lay on the defenses thick. dang. Maybe this was dnd 5.0 where you could get int to dmg with the sword mage equivalent

Vargs posted:There are way too many martial dex companions in this game imo, at least semi-early on. Wendaug, Lann, Camellia, Woljif, Regill. Meanwhile if I want a str-based character I've got Seelah. thankfully seelah is a loving beast also she can ride a literal beast that is also a figurative beast

once again for people having struggles in crusader mode, i strongly suggest letting the AI determine winners (unless it has an unfavorable outcome - in which case the game lets you choose to redo the fight yourself if you want). It will absolutely determine you a winner of fights that are legit impossible in the field battle mode thing. edit: does anyone know where the magic essence in the shield maze is? I missed it on my first time through but am going through again and still didn't get it.

Ethiser posted:I am having the opposite happen to me. The AI thinks I will lose all my troops, but I’ll come out of the fight without a scratch if I fight it. yeah for some of them that is true, which is why you can always fight it yourself if it doesn't go how you'd expect. like i said, it's been useful for fights that were unwinnable if i fought manually - not the other way around necessarily just wanna say that this is mostly how i got to drezen without buying any units with gold at all and not waiting on the crusade map.

Dreylad posted:from what I understand there was one in beta but it got moved to the grey garrison. could be wrong about this but I don't think there's one in the shield maze anymore. ah ok, thanks! seems that is the case. edit: made camillia a primalist bloodrager, angelic path. She should have good aligned weapons all the time as well as 1d6 bonus celestial damage against evil outsides (aka 80% of the game) but she doesn't. another bug for the pile.

EclecticTastes posted:Okay yeah, just to warn people who, like me, are compulsive completionists, the area known as Blackwater is the most buggy, incomplete area I've yet seen, like, "those partially dummied-out areas in the margins of SaGa Frontier" levels of incomplete. Two doors seemingly can't be opened under any circumstance, one side room's "puzzle" doesn't function whatsoever, and a lot of the treasure is hosed-up in some fashion. This is a clear sign to anyone who's looking for a smooth experience to give WotR a wide berth until maybe next May (that's about how long Kingmaker took to get its poo poo together). Maybe someday Owlcat will actually wait until a game is finished before releasing it. I had done all that and noticed I had a grayed option from trickster for that. So may be right.

Killsion posted:Can someone confirm if there is any benefit to doing the Gray Garrison before the Tavern fight? Or is it just straight up more experience, and items if you do the Tavern fight? I’m gonna try this. I messed up kaylas or whatever’s quest and am like 300 xp short of lvl 5 but I have all the support people so the garrison fight will probably go ok Edit : maybe not. The tavern fight quest reward is 900 xp+another 700 or so from all the enemies. The gray garrison xp reward is the same either way if it’s only 1600 Tabletops fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Any idea why he’s not talking to me in chapter 1? I spoke to him once, showed him some stuff I’d found. Now I found the buckler (almost forgot about it in the brimorak house) and he won’t go into a conversation. Can’t remember if he’ll be at the tavern after the barracks or not

pentyne posted:How do you build animal companions as tanks? The Bulwark class seems like a waste because you don't get heavy barding until much later then taking it early. Do you raise INT to get some teamwork feats/dodge/crane style? How effective are the pet specific buffs? Seelahs horse had more ac than anyone in my party at the end of act 1. Like 36 buffed with defensive stance. I never used reduce person on it though. I made it a bully cause the rest all seemed bad and tripping is good Also I like regill cause he’s like peak utilitarian humanist. Will do anything to minimize losses and maximize winning.
