A Core Rulebook Gish?

Pathfinder week is becoming my favorite thing

[@KevinVideo]

Nice. As soon as Luke did that in the game, I wondered if that concept would be turned into a video.

[@TheRobversion1]

This concept is what i made for my 1st pf2e character that i shared in your ranger vid. making a ranged CRB-only gish (ranger with sorc dedication) using bows with hunted shot for the 1st action (no map, -5), animal companion attack (no map) and a 2 action spell (no map) like electric arc initially then eventually upgrading to lightning bolts and chain lightning.

[@ghostyuki-kfpinquisitor1038]

Personally anyway, i prefer cloistered cleric w/ champ archetype over warpriest. Get full casting progression (important for offensive spells), champ takes care of your armor proficiencies and the reaction is nice as always. Also cleric is probably the one class that already has the stat prereqs naturally. I will admit lvl 1 sucks though.

[@elzed2667]

Cast Down is the finishing touch that takes Harm builds from solid to awesome, too.

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

Oodles of fun ways to get a pretty decent gish. I think one I found pretty fun is having a Precision Ranger dip into Magus for that Electric Arc or Spellstrike. You’re mainly doing big pops once per round anyways. Not S tier, but I’ve had fun. Like, using a halberd or greatsword as a melee ranger can just kinda feel awesome. Also not ideal but funny and not talked about enough, I think Precision also works for spell attacks? Which can be funny with Ray of Frost.

[@IronicCliche]

Finally someone is looking at the real strength of the war priest as a gish. I personally dog it most as a way to have good defense on a your healer because of the reduced spell proficiency but you do you.

[@kurrankeating7004]

Your voice and perspective is a familiar warm fire to me now, Colby :)

[@chuckawood]

Solid concept. Can’t wait for the video!

[@JudeCranberry]

Dang the new office/space/set area looks so clean. Very modern

[@GA-eh4nl]

Can't wait for next Pathfinder build

[@Keep_On_Harpin]

Oh boy, Colby found another Gish build? Letsss GOOOOOOOO

[@GuitarGuyNick]

i think that approaching pathfinder with DPR is the wrong approach imho. its alot better to build a character as for what you can do for the next person. because that chain of everyone taking that approach makes the game run better and easier for the players. i.e demoralising for -1 or 2 to the ac to set up the next person for a possible crit. or using an ability that gives a global flat footed so that the rogue in the group gets their sneak. etc etc. if builds for pf2 were shifted away from dpr to how much utility for the next person would be a more valid way to present builds in pathfinder due to everything being more or less balanced.

[@ghostyuki-kfpinquisitor1038]

Teamwork is more important than dpr generally yes. Might help to put a team utility section to include what you provide for your party members as well

[@SilasC]

Oh this would make an interesting Archer... Holy Arrow (sounds cool)

[@authorindisguise5173]

This workaround reminds me of a Net using Bladesinger I built a while back.

[@BasementMinions]

OHOHO will be very interested to see how you build the War Priest!

[@Jason-ji8ql]

That moment you realize its Pathfinder week!

[@aventuraenlafogata649]

I am ok with warpriest weapons not scaling as well, because giving channel smite to a class with normally scaling martial weapons would be a mistake.

[@colinrobertson7580]

Oh I'm excited for this!

[@PaweMateuszBytner]

Ki Monk and Paladin -> Divine Sorc are also CRB able to strike + blast

[@alex2legit]

Colby, unrelated to rpgs: yes, the longer hair works.

[@fe1nofx]

It's to Smite again!

[@theblindbuildergrandminuti5648]

Dude, nice hair

[@ExplosiveFloofBall]

Do you think next week you could do a Wild Magic sorcerer in honor of the Owl House?

[@glarak9819]

Now I want to compare this War Priest to the D&D War Priest you made just because similar names

[@serenabailey1553]

War Priest is better than people give it credit for, can't wait to see the build!

[@gosubilko]

Where is this video? I need it in my veins!!!

[@marvincooper9926]

Is Warpriest in the core rulebook now? That's a Hybrid class. Is this some 2e thing or did they add hybrid classes, definitely wasn't in there last time I played Pathfinder.

[@DnDDeepDive]

It’s always been in the 2e core rulebook I think? one of two subclass options.

[@1979ce]

Pathfinder is figured out. It's not as open as dnd. It's easier and more obvious to find the optimal. That's why people quit it. Once it's solved its boring.

[@Axel-zc6xj]

Honestly the pathfinder vids are kind of a no-go for me... I just don't have the time or money to pick up another system. I really hate the nonsense WotC is pulling, but if I am going into pathfinder, it will have to be because I dropped DnD completely. Maybe it's copium, but I am holding onto DnD a little bit longer. The racist nonsense Jeremy Crawford pulled recently certainly didn't help though.

[@JD-wu5pf]

Extreme copium. All of the rules and resources for pathfinder 2e are available for free online. And switching from one gaming system to another is time neutral, since you wouldn't be adding a new game in, you'd be replacing an existing one. I don't even know what you're talking about with Jeremy Crawford, but if you're sick of WoTC then you should stop supporting their flagship product.
