Neat breakdown and builds here 👌🏾, tou rarely see the warpriest implemented in builds online. Your content is A+

[@cRPGBro]

Thanks, bro! Always nice hearing from you in the comments 👍 Warpriest took me by surprise, I had no idea it had such interesting unique features!

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

Oh heck yeah, thanks so much! I was really hoping someone would make this video. The other guides I'd found just read the class descriptions out from character creation but provide no insight at all. This is exactly what I was hoping to find. Your channel is an absolute gem for CRPG newbies like me.

[@cRPGBro]

Glad you liked it! I know my videos tend to be long but I do try to explain the mechanics and the reasoning behind all the choices for a more complete, in depth experience. And thank you for the support, too! I'll soon be talking about other cRPGs as well besides Pathfinder, hope I can help.

[@neiljopling4693]

The Magic blessing major power is the best. For a pure Warpriest that can spam it during Aspect of War it could mean up to 23 spells recalled per rest. Significantly more for Azata or Azata/Devil.

[@cRPGBro]

Interesting, I hadn't really thought about using it that way!

[@ShardtheWolf]

Man, warpriest throwing ace would be nasty. I kinda wonder how it compares to a deliverer axe thrower.

[@cRPGBro]

It can certainly be fun! Throwing Axes have pretty low base weapon damage at 1d6. With Warpriest, we can already increase that to 1d8 as early as level 5, with it only getting better and better from there, for a max of 6d8! I believe Cult Leader also works for it just fine, except we'd get the ranged feats instead of the teamwork ones for melee AoO.

[@alexithyme3511]

Great job. I am still partial to the feral priest, I love taking brutality incarnate and never having to worry about damage reduction. Small thing you didn't mention, a warpriest can quicken spells with fervor, minor thing but it help with low duration buffs and suprise situations. I like how thorough you are being, hope to see a guide for the rest of the mythic paths, and a guide for monks, bards and summoner. Keep up the great work

[@cRPGBro]

Thank you for the support as always, mate! And thank you for the tip, Fervor to quicken spells can certainly be useful in some cases. Guides for Monk, Summoner & Bard are surely coming, Monk pretty soon too.

Glad youre gonna do a shield basher soon, just tried it and its very fun, its been hard for me to move away from dex- archmage armor tanks but your videos have been a huge help!

No problem! I hope my Shieldbasher Guide is useful too, I remember I had a Shield Basher Valerie in Kingmaker and it was pretty fun. Should certainly make for a great build in Wrath now that we have way more Shield gear with extra damage and such made for bashing!

[@GodLikeDevil]

Great guide! Warpriest wasn't even on my radar since a lot of people don't recommend it because it was hard to manage its resources in battle but this actually looks fun and viable.

[@cRPGBro]

Thank you! I also didn't give much thought to Warpriest at first, but after trying it out, it's certainly a nice class all around.

[@Olkam-w5u]

[@cRPGBro]

Hi there, and thanks! I would start with Point Blank + Precise at level 1 to make hitting early enemies easier, and save Two Weapon Fighting for level 3. And then get Rapid Shot or Deadly Aim at level 5, Weapon Focus won't make much of a difference, especially as you aren't getting Greater Focus. And then the other at level 7. For Mythic, I would pick Mythic Deadly Aim at R2, instead of Mythic Two Weapon. Mostly because I find it's a lot easier to stack +AB than +damage. And then Elemental Barrage at R3, because as a Warpriest, you have an easy way of getting 100% Barrage proc as soon as level 4. and then Mythic Two Weapon at Rank 6 (you cannot get it at R5, as that's a normal Mythic Ability spot). Then Distracting Shots at R6 instead. Ever Ready I think it something you should only consider if you're going with the AoO Ranged feats like Snap Shot and most important Seize the Moment, which you don't get. So I would rather get Mythic Rapid Shot.

[@cRPGBro]

Be sure to check Warpriest out, it can be really fun & effective. And sure, I'll add that to my to-do list, Dispelling can indeed be a very useful tool for most of the bosses, especially the later ones with all their buffs.

I started as a war priest angel a long time ago when game first came out but stopped and went primalist demon. So I went back last week to do a warpiest champion of the faith falchion build . Playing on daring. Using the holy blare. He is a beast already at level 12. Gonna get the enduring and greater enduring soon for those sweet long buffs. I actually love the warpriest. I went champion of the faith seems really fun and the quicken buffs before battle are sweet

[@dmsephiroth]

Elemental barrage sadly does not work anymore with the enchantments huh? :

[@jared.mohammed]

That was fast! Great video once again :D. I would love to see a build focusing on the Bloodrager class, especially around the Primalist.

[@cRPGBro]

You're welcome, and hope this guide is useful to you! And noted, I'll keep the Bloodrager class in mind, usually I only use Skalds for Rage Powers, but it would be nice for a change!

[@a37n31]

Nice warpriest guide. I always overlook WP in favor of Crusader Cleric or Battle Oracle I think this builds really shine with a MC Trickster. For a companions who has no access to Trickster, it loses a bit of raw power.

[@cRPGBro]

Thanks! Warpriest can be pretty fun. I already have an Oracle Angel Guide, as for Cleric I'm also planning to make one. The reason we go with Trickster is because it's really hard to compete when it comes to classes that cannot merge with Angel or Lich. Especially because of all the synergy between high critical range & Teamwork Feats. But I believe Demon & Azata for example can also work just fine, the only downside is the lack of Critical boosts, but they still have their own strenghts as I show in my other guides too.

[@telleqwin7266]

Damnit cRPG stahp I've not even finished the damn demon build and already started the warpriest since I hit a snag on demon that kinda put me off and no it's not build wise Basically I got dragged into the abyss in chapter 3 it's one of the dream things first time the second or third one happened so quickly buuuuut it had like a will check of 40 and intimidate of 50+ soooooo ya no way in hell I was saving that anyway after I escaped I realized all my items are gone... all of it every single piece that wasn't in storage including all my gold and my characters equipment soooooooooo ya lol doing warpriest now until I feel like playing demon again.

[@cRPGBro]

Hi there, I'll always be here with more fun builds for you, no doubt :) You can actually recover all your items from the prison, they're in a certain spot of the map, but I'm afraid you'll have to go back before you leave the Prison. But have fun with Warpriest too, it can sure make for a difference experience.

[@Agent_Nato]

tell me, is it possible to do the same, but with rapiers and the corresponding deity? and another option. can I choose daggers (and the corresponding deity) and throw in one level of Thief - Knife Master? sorry if the english is bad. English is not my native language

[@cRPGBro]

Hi there! You can go with Rapiers or Daggers and then the Deity you want. Rapiers would be a better choice due to higher critical than Daggers. But depending on Deity, the Warpriest Powers will be different, and the ones I choose are the best ones, to me at least.

I am starting my play through today, respecting a level 9 character. I am not taking Lammashtu I don't want negative healing and furvor I am dropping the Combat reflection feats. I dont feel it's worth the trade off.

Hi there! The choice is up to you, but Kukris and a focus on Teamwork feats (which is why Combat Reflexes) can make a big difference. But of course, your character can still be very viable and powerful without them!

[@MrGouldilocks]

I noticed you take both outflank and seize the moment in many of your builds. I've been on the outflank bandwagon from the very beginning, but I rarely get seize the moment. What's the advantage to having both of them, don't you only get one attack of opportunity for crit anyway? Is seize the moment selected so that your ranged characters can join in on the AOO action?

[@cRPGBro]

Hi there, when it comes to this I'll say what I usually do: It doesn't appear to be a consensus on whether Outflank and Seize the Moment interact posivitely with each other. Some say they don't, others that they do. For me, from personal experience, I only really see MASSIVE chains of Attack of Opportunity (especially with Trickster parties) if I have both, which does lead me to believe you can get multiple chains going from a single critical. But I won't be arrogant enough to say they stack, I could be wrong!

[@Wespa64]

Can you merge angel with warpriest? If so are there any advantages, I have never merged a half caster before.

[@cRPGBro]

Nope, Angel can only merge with the Full Divine Casters, so Oracle, Cleric, Shaman & Druid!

[@simonlagoun9996]

Thanks for the guide! I actually started to play Wor because I wanted to play a kukri warpriest but I hadn't nay game available lmao so it feels good to see someone with the same ideas! Quick question tho, why do you sneak attacks on kukris? It's a nice add of damage for sure but is it really necessary?

[@cRPGBro]

Sneak Attacks can add quite a hefty damage boost to our character, because of dual wielding (so they are added to each of our numerous attacks). Plus the number of enemies immune to SA on Pathfinder is extremely low, even most bosses are still subject to the extra damage!

[@casegibson6456]

wow that build, nice and thanks for all your work . Can you do a devil build please ? or hum ... a "banisher" build, you know ... (i'm not english native speaker) i don't know that subclass name, that subclass which focus on banishing demons.

[@cRPGBro]

Thanks for the idea! I'll be sure to release a Devil Mythic Path eventually, as if all other remaining Mythic Paths I have yet to talk about like Legend, Gold Dragon and Swarm.

[@casegibson6456]

@@cRPGBro Niceeeeeee ! Thanks :)

[@Olkam-w5u]

And what is the damage per round of both builds, if you compare?

[@cRPGBro]

Dual Wielder Cult Leader has more, I believe. Hard to compete with dual wield + 2x Elemental Barrage on ALL attacks, and also the higher sneak damage.

[@Olkam-w5u]

And the cult of the leader must be done through Lammashtu?

[@cRPGBro]

That's the ideal path, because Lamashtu has Kukri as favored weapon, and we really need it for free. Otherwise, you'll have to spend a feat in Martial Weapon Profiency to get it at character creation, but a dual wielding Cult Leader is REALLY feat starved so we can't afford to spare it.

[@MrGouldilocks]

I'm looking forward to checking out the guide. I've always considered Warpriest a poor man's cleric. But I'll watch the video with an open mind, hopefully you can persuade me otherwise.

[@cRPGBro]

I really hope I manage to change your mind :) But well, it sure is going to be hard to compete with merged Angel Cleric in a game like Wrath. Still, Warpriest can be pretty useful too.

[@MrGouldilocks]

@@cRPGBroI'll judge the classes on their merit, without taking the spellbook merge into consideration. It's a given that a Cleric or Oracle merged with Angel is better than... everything. The angel path would be among the strongest mythic paths if it didn't have a spellbook merge option. But if you're playing a cleric, or an oracle the game turns into story mode difficulty.

[@jamesnewman7509]

Ahh! I was rather confused for a while, as I could have sworn I saw in patch notes recently that elemental barrage now only worked with spells, but I couldn't find it when I re-looked for it. Turns out, it's in the patch notes... of the Tabletop Tweaks mod. Derp. (Enduring Spells no longer working on scrolls, potions, and abilities was the annoying nerf in the recent patch notes.) Edit: Actually, considering I am musing a similar build for a planned demon playthrough to your Cult Leader build, do you have thoughts on taking 4 levels of Knife Master? Weapon Finesse & Dex to damage, uncanny dodge (*super* useful for dex builds, especially if you're not pumping Initiative), boosted sneak attack damage, debilitating injury, and a couple of rogue talents. You still gain access to level 6 spells (just!), and your weapons are 2d6 base, rather than 2d8, which isn't too bad. Really, it's the 4 levels of spell progression loss that really stings, but you do get a significant boost to your martial offence & defence, so I'm thinking it may be worth it.

[@block1888]

Why dont you have pack rager barbarian in your party so you can take some good perks instead everytime wasting points for command perks on every character? Siila could be it, or even Woljif/Wenduag.

[@thiagoheringer101]

Thanks for the build! But i have one question: when is worth using that feat that makes you do a huge dmg as a standard action? Isnt just better to do a full round atk with multiples hits?

[@cRPGBro]

Hi there! Vital Strike is better for times when you can't perform a full round action (meaning you won't get to attack with all your attacks in the round). For Real Time With Pause, this isn't much of an issue, because you characters can usually move a decent amount before being restricted to a standard action (single attack). For Turn Based, where you have only a small amount of movement before it eats your full round action, this is when it shines. Basically, if you have to move a long distance to reach the enemy, because enough movement will restrict you to a single attack. Or at the very beginning of the game like from Rowdy Rogue which gets it at level 1, because you only have 1 attack anyways until your BAB reaches 6 in most cases. If you have the chance to perform a full round action, chances are full attacking will be better than Vital Strike as a whole.

[@thiagoheringer101]

@@cRPGBro it makes sense. But i dont feel like i dont need enough full rounds attacks. Its usualy one round "wasted" for positioning and then full round all the way. But i will pay attention. I may be wrong, lets see how much non full round atk i do.

Have you tried the archer from the warpriest? Or sword + shield with shield master?

[@cRPGBro]

I have not tried Archer with Warpriest yet, but it can surely work as well because the Bow damage will also become 8d6 eventually with Sacred Weapon + Size Buffs. Also, just like Magus you get easy Elemental Barrage thanks to the Triple Elemental enchants! I did not try Shieldmaster as well because I'm planning on talking about another class for my soon to come Shield Basher Guide.

[@harozuken]

maybe im missing something but isnt spreading damage out on triple elements really inefficent? since most demons have acid, fire and cold resistance 10 and electrical immunity, you are basically hamstringing 20 damage by not just going in on one element. though with those kinds of numbers I guess it really doesn't matter. Correct me if im wrong. Personally I go good alligned augment and fire damage to go with the sword of haven buff but thats apples and oranges. Good looking build!!

[@cRPGBro]

Elemental damage was because back then, it could easily proc Elemental Barrage, but now it has been nerfed for melee. However, you can still use Bane of Spirit Ring to convert ALL damage into irresistible Force damage, so elemental enchants are still viable!

Hi there, the reason I tend to go with Trickster is because it really enhances my playstyle of focusing on criticals and Teamwork Feats, and I do find it to be overall one of the best Mythic Paths for characters that cannot merge with Angel or Lich. As far as companion builds, all my companion builds are made for any Mythic, which is why not a single one of them has the Trickster feats. The Arcane spells is just an extra, for late game. Warpriest is still a very solid class overall as I explain in the guide, even when you still only have access to your Divine Spells which are great for buffing & self buffing.

[@ZeriocTheTank]

It's definitely a downside of his builds, and while I learned a lot from it I have to say that it's annoying to constantly see the same mythic paths over and over again. Then again he's playing on unfair & isn't trying to RP in anyway.

A lot of this changes with the nerf to Elemental Barrage

[@cRPGBro]

It's lower damage per strike for sure, but you can still achieve respectable damage thankfully.

[@awesome27677]

i made your cult leader build and tragedy struck. no matter what kind of warpriest i made the sacred weapon feature doesn't replace my weapons damage dice. in essence the sacred weapon feature doesnt work! noooooo!

[@cRPGBro]

It should still work, but the thing is it only really starts having an effect once its power would result in higher weapon damage than you would have by default, there's a Warpriest table you can check for that: www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/warpriest/ Note the Sacred Weapon damage column.

@@cRPGBro i know, but i have tested it on mutlipe max level warpriests and the dice dont change on the character sheet.

[@bobpetal5085]

can i run this build over sword saint? are they comparble in damage

[@cRPGBro]

Definitely! Main difference is Sword Saint has an easier time hitting high AC targets later on due to their meele to touch attack ability. Trickster remains the best Mythic for both.

@@cRPGBro i wanted to do a hard run is it good on hard?

[@cRPGBro]

@@bobpetal5085 Definitely! But Hard will require a lot more pre buffing knowledge to ensure you get top tier defenses.

Great video. A couple of points. You’ll need to take ranks in Knowledge: Arcana and tank everybody else’s skill to get the mythic trick to work. Sacred Armour last 1 minute per level rather than 1 round per level. But since fortification is the best enhancement and the Destruction blessing gives you 50% fortification as the level 10 power an archetype that trades Sacred Armour like Proclaimer would be a beneficial trade. I think the highest possible weapon damage would be a Legend Zen Archer + Ranger or Hunter for Hurricane Bow at 8D8. Your Cult Leader should have really nice Sneaky Quack healing with Completely Normal Cure Lights Wounds as an orizion.

[@cRPGBro]

Hi there, and thank you! Are you sure you need to take the ranks in Arcana yourself? Last time I tried, it didn't matter which party member identified the items, the bonus from Arcana 1 was still applied. And nice to know Sacred Armor has such high duration, apologies for the mistake. Fortification really is one of the strongest defensive properties. I imagine Legend can have crazy damage too, but it's hard to compete with 40 BAB and 40 class levels!

[@neiljopling4693]

@@cRPGBro I haven’t tried Trickster in a few patches. As to Legend Instinctual Warrior + Skald or Sensei + Martyr might not be as strong individually but with a party very powerful.

Damn, yesterday I was wondering about doing a Warpriest Trickster, and had trouble finding builds. Guess this is basically DIVINE intervention omg and Shield Basher soon, nice

[@cRPGBro]

Nice! I'm here to help, especially when it's dictated by fate itself, hah! I can assure you Warpriest Trickster is tons of fun, especially the Cult Leader variant.
