Important: Elemental Barrage has been corrected in a recent patch and no longer works with weapon enchantments, only with actual spells (as the description always said).
Leading Strike is very dependent on real-time with pause instead of turn based combat. You can proc it many times in a single round with multiple characters hitting the enemy at once, but in turn based you cant overlap attacks for more procs. This is a huge factor in evaluating that specific ability.
Hi there, and thank you for the note. I do play mostly on RTwP, but I imagine Leading Strike in Turn Based will only truly be worthwhile if you have characters focused on generating Attacks of Opportunity as my builds often are, so you can still get attacks from other party members during your turn. But of course, it will require the other party members to be decently close to you, so long as they have enough reach with whatever their weapon is. How's the synergy with it and mounted combat in Turn Based though?
@@cRPGBro Just tried it out with Seelah mounted on her horse. They alternate attacks. Horse attacks first, then Seelah, then the horse which gets the divine damage from the leading strike mark, then Seelah again and so on. I wish Seelah attacked first, but it still works pretty good. Only at mythic level 1, so looking forward to the increase in damage in the future.
@@trygve3305 turn based can give some other advantages, like casting a spell with a definite aoe where the enemies don't have a chance to move before it happens. Just one example. I'm not sure one mode is always better than the other, it feels situational to me and I appreciate the option to switch on the fly.
Leading strike is incredible with mounted melee characters in both turn based as well as real time because even at turn based you attack at the same time as your pet so you proc leading strike at the very least once per round. In late game this is around 10-30d6 additional damage per full round attack
Expanded Arsenal is weird, but balance-wise and psychology-wise I think it's an interesting mechanics. It's a delayed reward. You spend your entire game not improving that one school you want to use and then finally by the end of the game you gain your reward. It's kinda like powerful lvl 20 feats that some classes have that you really look forward too. Hard work and sacrifices that pay off in the very end.
You are correct, it could be indeed and is like that by design. I just find it so weird, but hey, whatever works! I personally just prefer to have access to it early even if it means less DC (and frankly the extra DC boost from stacking multiple Spell Focus doesn't really matter in the end unless you are soloing). Often for a DC Caster I'll go full Conjuration from level 1 then apply it all to Illusion at around level 10 or so.
One Note on Thundering Blows: If use Thundering blows, and combine it with the White Dragon Heavy Armor (found in Areelu's Lab) as well as Elemental Barrage, you will basically guaranteed proc an AoE Elemental Barrage every turn. Thundering Blows is a Sonic AoE, and your chance is pretty high of proccing it at least once every round. The White Dragon releases a 2d6 short range Frost Nova every Round, dealing Frost Damage to everyone near you. White Dragon also does Friendly Fire, but that is easy to overcome with a Resist Energy Communal Spell. It's a pretty nice way to boost the damage outpout of melee characters with mediocre Attack Bonus. You can even extend the combination with the Enforced Vigor Mythic Ability, using the White Dragons Friendly Fire to buff your Allies.
Artifice Domain is nice for melee clerics since you can get Lead Blades as a 1st level spell. A Cleric of Gorum would end up wielding a 6D6 greatsword. Also a Brown Fur Transmuter can only get Lead Blades in their Arcanist spellbook as Mystic Theurge with Cleric and the Artifice Domain.
Thank you for the tip! Artifice is something I pick on my Trickster too, thankfully it seems patch 1.2 will finally fix Religion 2 to let you pick multiple domains and with ALL of their abilities instead of just spells!
I found the best use for Vital Strike is when you are out of position in a battle. Simply put, when you can't devote a full action to doing a full attack. There are moments when classes need to sing or do various things that aren't swift actions like Ranger's Bond. Replacing the normal attack in that round with even a normal Vital Strike is better then just ending the turn or throwing out a single, normal attack.
Yeah, for those cases Vital Strike can be pretty good, especially when using Demonic Charge since you are limited to a standard action. I imagine it's also a lot better for Turn Based where your movement is really limited (as far as eating your full attack action).
one interesting mythic ability is master shapeshifter. that works on any kitsune turning into human form, thus you "sacrifice" your bite attack for +4/+4/+4 str dex con, giving your martial characters +2ac +2ab +2 damage, some hp, saving throws and this is untyped personally i find it to be absolutely crazy especially early-mid game for stuff like rangers, magi or bard/skalds if you fancy yourself a furry
Don't know if they're gonna patch this out but smite actually boosts the damage output of destructive shockwave and made Hellknight a good class on Kestoglyr with 30+ damage on misses making a very good 300+ per round not even including crits. Glass cannon as it got but for the sake of just an initial test run I found it worked nicely.
@@cRPGBro I thought it might have been a case of a increase in damage rolls not applying right since kestoglyr's str mod wasn't high (which by the text is the source of the damage value) but adds in the cha mod and class levels into the damage output. mind you I could be definitely wrong but 10~ + 10~ + 10 would align with the 30+ I remember stumbling across by accident.
In regards to the brutality incarnate mythic power, it's pretty much mandatory if you want to do any damage with natural attacks. The covenant of the inheritor item only applies good aligned to actual weapons, natural weapons like bites and claw attacks aren't affected.
@@cRPGBro 100% sure. I'm playing a bloodrager that uses claws and bites and I tried going limitless rage first. It was a big mistake as my natural attacks were getting massively reduced and I had to switch to a weapon until I got mythic rank 2.
@@cRPGBro @Casey Gould Just got the covenant of the inheritor and it only works on primary attacks of any character or animal. So for my leopard, it works on the bite, but not the claws. Same for Woljif, it only works on the primary hand, not the offhand. I'm guessing for the bloodrager that the claws and bites are not primary?
Realy nice video 🥰🥰 for me the best mythique bonus is enduring spell for 24 h buff🤗🤗🤗 the become so mush fun after because we make so much battle in pathfinder. Specialy at hard and unfair!😅😅 well realy soon , the mythique 10 will matter because of the DLC 🤣🤣😉🤗 HAVE A GOOD WEEK MY CHAMPION 😏
Yes, I really love Greater Enduring spells too for 24 buffs to highly reduce resting! And thank you my friend, tomorrow I'll be making videos about the new Pathfinder DLC no doubt 😃👍😁
Does expose vulnerability require 3 "rounds" to activate or just 3 hits? Because characters like Lann get something like 10 shots in a full attack that could theoretically proc this multiple times in one round, which seems pretty good.
Problem is that you always seem to use Trickster mythic which gives some ridiculous bonuses and also best gear available for a character. This may seem cool, but this is not realistic. I play on Hard and its incredibly difficult to stack enough of AB to reliably hit enemies. Don't know what you talking about, but there really not that much ways of increase attack bonus in game, and some of them are class specific, mythic specific, only last for a few rounds or only work for specific target (like mark of justice)
Hi there, I already have a guide here explaining to really stack AB to the max: czcams.com/video/8-epQ9sPRtU/video.html The bonuses from Trickster often mean just a +1 to either Weapon Enhancement or +1 to an Ability Score such as from a Belt, they don't matter that much. It is true that some bonuses are low duration, but they are still of extreme importance when fighting the actual tough enemies of the game. I have also completed a Hard run before, and hitting the enemies was not really troublesome, but I did have a Skald. This run was also with a Demon, so I didn't have access to Trickster abilities or the Angel & Lich merged spells. Even something as the +3 version of Finnean can already highly increase your chances of hitting Chapter 3-6 high AC foes because of how powerful Brilliant Energy can be. The usual trash mobs don't tend to have that high AC, even on Unfair (besides early game when your stats are still really low). It is true that some party class choices like Paladin, Skald & Cleric will make a massive difference AB wise, but when it comes to the harder difficulties, you don't have as much freedom as to what to pick if you want efficiency. For Normal and Core, you can certainly have a smooth run with lots of different party compositions.
Great guide learned a lot I'm curious though, why do you rate mythic two weapon fighting highly, but you don't like mythic rapid shot? They are practically identical in that they gave you an effective plus two to all of your attacks.
Glad the guide was useful to you! I feel like the Two Weapon Fighting penalties are harsher, because you have a lot more attacks when dual wielding than with Rapid Shot (especially when you consider all the free Attacks of Opportunity you'll be getting per round). But both can be useful, that's for sure.
What about legend? If you go into a prestige class; say sorcerer for 20 levels and then, loremaster for 10 levels. Would your caster level be 30? Or Mystic theurge arcanist/shaman then prestige. Would my caster level go up it?
Thundering blows is amazing on paper, near irresistible damage even when you struggle to hit? Yes please! In practice, it doesn't work as intended, because enemies regular DR reduces it, despite the fact it shouldn't be. It is also how I learned that Mark of Justice is bugged and does not let the paladin or party members ignore DR. Regular smite evil: Thundering blows does full damage (and a fair bit at that). Mark of Justice: Thundering blows does no damage.
@@cRPGBro Yeah, in my first playthrough on Core difficulty my builds were about what is expected for PnP Pathfinder, only for me to slam my head into walls whenever the 70+ac bosses showed up. Seelah with Thundering Strikes was actually a source of consistent damage in those cases. Along with Arue being the only one able to hit reliably. Life did get a lot easier at the end when I looked at your crusader relics guide and found that force damage ring. xD
Hmmm... I got cleaving shot on lann , he's my main physical damage dealer , and I've been wondering if cleaving shot and other abilities/ feats that specifically say ranged attacks, so they affect spells at range? Or just ranged physical attacks?
What's your opinion on an Azata Elemental Witch with elemental barrage? There is the ray with multiple elemental damage types and zippy magic? Otherwise what caster class or build you think is best with azata?
Hey, so say you go legend mythic path. 20 levels nature oracle (capstone ability), if you choose animal can you cast [animal growth] on yourself? Say you have 25 caster levels for 24hr haste and other spells. If you cast animal growth, will it work?
Hi there, I decided to give it a try, and yes, it does actually work! Here is Daeran with Animal Growth after using the Animal Form Revelation: imgur.com/a/vtrSbNW
When you use the weapon enchantments, does it support Ascendent Element? Can I take fire, acid, and cold Ascendent Element and it'll bypass the dr 10? Additionally does it also work with weapons that come pre enchanted with those effects?
It does actually seem to work for all sources you have of elemental damage, including ones like from the Rupturing Scimitar or the Firebrand spell when it comes to fire.
@@cRPGBro Oh wonderful! Thank you for that. Also is it possible for you to do a inquisitor, warpriest or paladin guide? I can't choose between those for my angel build hahaha.
Your Point about Brutality Incarnate and the Covenant of the Inheritor: First, are you sure this even works? I don't think unarmed or natural attacks can be enhanced by a cold-iron or good modifier. I think you need to be holding an actual Weapon for the Covenant to take effect. Second, you don't necessarily even have the Covenant.
@@cRPGBro Yeah, i recently tested it myself, it really works on stuff it shouldn't. Same goes for Finnean after the latest patch. Quarterstaves for instance don't have Metal in them and thus normally can't have cold-iron Tag, but with Finnean or the Covenant it's possible
Thank you for the correction! I tend to leave the Rage Powers to Skald so I mixed it up when talking about the Barbarian Rage, as Skald Rage has no Fatigue.
@@user-ps6ol1og1z I know, what I mean is that I mixed it up when recording because Skald Rage does not give fatigue anyways by default, it was just a mix up on my part. Apologies for that!
Force Reality is so bad that it didn't even deserve a mention in the last section? :D But yeah, it's pretty much useless compared to any other starting mythic ability.
Sure thing! I have not tried Swarm yet, but I have also heard they were highly improved for patch 1.2 what with you gaining your clones way earlier so at the beginning of Chapter 5 right after you go Swarm! I'm waiting for 1.2 for both Swarm & Aeon.
Erhm. What the hell are you talking about with sonic damage. Very few enemies actually have sonic resistance. Its just slightly worse than divine damage.
I guess it was from my experience in Chapter 4. I swear a lot of the demons or outsider enemies there seem to have multi elemental and sonic DR. But I could have misremembered it!
@@cRPGBro Multielemental- yes. Sonic -few. P.S. Well i am currently playing chapter 4, so i will specifically try to count sonic resistant enemies tommorow.
Yeah, I imagine in Turn Based you'll need to have some Attacks of Opportunity going to really benefit from the damage a lot by getting other characters to strike during your turn. Thankfully all my melee builds got AoO focus!

@@cRPGBro Multielemental- yes. Sonic -few.
P.S. Well i am currently playing chapter 4, so i will specifically try to count sonic resistant enemies tommorow.
Does limitless rage work with the skald rage power?
Nope!
@@cRPGBro Okay, good to know before I made that mistake xD Thanks :D
I don't think Elemental Barrage works that way, at all :( I'm not seeing any procs.
Did they nerf elemental barrage yet?
I don't think it has happened yet, but I'm waiting for the full changes with the Enhanced Edition next month to start releasing updated content!
Leading Strike is kinda weird. Great in real time, extremely mediocre in turn based.
Yeah, I imagine in Turn Based you'll need to have some Attacks of Opportunity going to really benefit from the damage a lot by getting other characters to strike during your turn.
Thankfully all my melee builds got AoO focus!
