PF: WOTR - THE BEST New FEATS, SPELLS & ABILITIES from A Dance of Masks DLC

[@presidenttogekiss635]

The main use for Favored Enemy Spellcasting is the HELLKNIGHT SIGNIFER, which is a spellcasting prestige class that that gets Favored Enemy from one of its orders

[@neiljopling4693]

Sacred Huntsmaster also gets Favoured Enemy.

[@TomMatt-gf8dy]

True. 1 Signifer actually pretty good for minmaxing now. You paying 1 feat tax (Arcane Armor Training) to get +2 DC. Crazy, considering you cannot abuse Expanded Arsenal anymore, and you want to get extra DC from anywhere.

[@Baerinho]

@@TomMatt-gf8dy the Arsenal "bug fix", is the only nerf i still hate. Takes so "lil" effort to just press bubble buffs once and oneshot everything what a gravesinger/whatever build on Unfair, but if you wanna play typical caster (and for extra kicks you wanna go without pets) it was hard before that nerf, and is even more challenging now. Like, you already gotta have e.g. all the frost spell dmg gear, need someone else in the Cold AOE armor besides you to proc imbument, and involves so many finicky steps, and then they took our arsenal :D. Meanwhile an angel/oracle is just "buff up and go" while surrounded by 4 pets with outflank :D

[@sametekiz3709]

Owlcat is great.

[@cheshirdog953]

I tried this build. Not working. You cant get this feat as a signifier.

[@Eothas]

Think you missed the Arcana Theft spell from Magus

[@Microondah]

Going to put it here, so we can upvote one comment and increase the chances: I also think there's new Kineticist Infusions besides the ones from the new archetype. I saw Air's Reach pop in my Infusion list and I guarantee it wasn't there the last time I played

[@sametekiz3709]

yes

[@Silverflower351]

I'm really tempted to try this game but it's a bit intimidating imo (never played any pathfinder before)

[@razorflossrazor2937]

They have a story mode this makes the game easier if you just want to enjoy the story.

[@thakydd9713]

trust me this guy has enough guides(and he's gonna be making more) to get you through the game and there are other resources online that can help you like the neoseeker chapter guides, but when it comes to character guides nobody has crpg bro beat, i was very intimidated at 1st but my 1st playthrough was using his builds and i beat it on unfair!

[@andrewstran]

I play this game with a wiki up on another monitor lol

[@fearrection4465]

This is the channel to learn what will mechanically work. The RP as usual will come to you.

[@Philemon5]

it is daunting, i wont say it is not. But this game is so worth expploring and playing. I will always recommend giving it a try

[@XEProteus]

Haunting Mist is quite broken actually. Makes Act 1 a breeze. Throw that baby on top of Shadow Demon and go get a drink, he'll be dead from WIS loss when you come back, him and Succubus in Act 1 are my fav uses so far for this spell. Extreme cheese.

[@Quandry1]

it also looks good for pushing some enemies closer into melee because they can't really shoot from range from the look of it. On top of debuffing their stats.

[@likeAG6likeAG6]

You can also merge it with polymorph and they will die almost immediately

[@AzureTwist]

Agreed, it's amazing if you are okay with forgoing attack rolls, and it's really busted if you're using Evil Eye - Saving Throws, to get that wisdom dmg rolling.. Stack it with some grease, web, entanglements and you've got a really nice attribute killer early on. Also ignores spell resistance, this is a beautiful spell for a caster oriented party early, and helps with will saves later on. I would actually say this is a must for a DC caster, (Nenio comes to mind).

[@Philemon5]

my boy is farming that new content again, and im all here for it!

[@Dr.Moogle]

The Diva Bard Class. Should have gotten the Diva Talents and Fient skill...missdd opportunity.

[@nufufufu9799]

Just bought this game after I got bored with BG3, haven't really played any hardcore crpg games before and I got overwhelmed by this game lmao. Thankfully you already made a lot of guides on this game 😅

[@notalefty999]

I assume that arcane tricksters ability to force the enemy to be considered flat footed would also work with ambuscading spell. I am not that keen on arcane spirit. Other than for charisma based characters, at low levels, enemy perception checks are often rather high. For example, dretches have 15 perception, babaus have 23 perception. You will seldom encounter a demon enemy which doesnt have 15+ perception in chapter 1. You will need the same persuasion modifier to have a 50/50 chance, and a modifier 10 (well 9 technically) higher to do this reliably. With +5 charisma, and the class bonus, your persuasion will be 8 + character level, assuming you pump it and significantly lower for non charisma characters. To get your chances well up early game, you need to invest multiple feats just for this one ability. And if you succeed, the payoff is also not very good - it increases the chance of failure by 10% for 1 target. The dcs you want to land at low level are AOE crowd controls, and this can never effect more than 1 target per round. At higher levels, swift actions are a valuable resource (at the very least, every caster will have access to a quickened rod) and battles are frequently on a larger scale and -2 to save to one target per cast of spell is generally going to be negligible and not worth the hassle even if you dont have a swift action to use. Its every bit as faffy as bane of spirit, without anything like the potential impact.

[@Syurtpiutha]

Looking Forward to seeing some builds based on the new Archetypes. Red Mantis Fanatic Aeon sounds pretty cool thematically given the role Achekek has in the lore (enforcer/assassin for the gods, unwilling/unable to strike down *legitimate* authority).

[@someother5512]

I just started a Red Mantis and am wondering what mythic is most thematic, problem it feels that Devil is the most correct one, but is also means playing with arguably the weakest Mythic path of them all (Aeon to Devil).

[@Syurtpiutha]

@@someother5512 I don't think you'd have to go full devil. If you look up Achekek in the lore, I think Aeon might fit better. But if you're determined to go devil, then yeah you get the lesser package.

[@Valor6]

@@someother5512 At least you get to experience the new Devil stuff! ...Silver linings, right?

[@backgroundnpc9631]

Could you do a Selective Haunting Mists to give yourself concealment without the the drawback?

[@detective_solomonto3011]

Legit you could. You could selective haunting mists your party for concealment, enemies run in and suffer wisdom damage while they miss most of their attacks

[@BarokaiRein]

Ah, intesified spell, my beloved. On tabletop, there's a background feat that lowers the cost of one metamagic by one, to a minimum of zero. It's extremely common to get that as a magus and always intesify a shocking grasp for free. Its good for any caster, but that's the most common application.

[@sametekiz3709]

great idea

[@aeon5566]

Yea it makes the Magus kit possibly useful this time round. Normally the kit with off hand spell casting is just gimping yourself in dps since a .5 str increase on all attacks for 2 handing deals much more damage than a measly shocking grasp attack. Then if you go Eldritch Scion you can take 2 bloodlines and convert all your spell damage to a single element and enhance it by 1d6 damage as well. And of course mythic element thingy to ignore damage resistance and you're good to go. It's a bit of an investment but probably worth it.

[@crackedjabber]

So just as a goof, I built a character with greater dispel, dispel focus, greater dispel focus, dispel synergy, destructive dispel, ambuscading spell, spell spirit, and piercing spell. Then went legend for 40 levels of caster and prestige classes. So a +44 to dispel everything, followed by up to a -8 to their saves on my next spell, which forces them to try and beat their new spell resistance of 50 something in order to cast a spell. Is it good? probably not. Is it funny as hell to tell some of the most powerful casters in the game to knock it off? Very much so.

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

That just sounds like the Disenchanter Warpriest archetype from the tabletop with extra steps. Lol

[@drchaos2000]

when the pets are fixed in a patch... what pet class would you recommend for a hippogriffin ? does "bully" make sense because of the level 7 aoe trip ?

[@olivierklein762]

There is a great use for the incendiary runes spell. For the magic deceiver arcanist subclass, you fuse it with another element spell like shocking grasp or snowball or acid touch. You need to have the according ascendant element mythic feats and elemental barrage, it will proc elemental barrage twice on a small zone with just 1 1st level spell without caring for spell resistance or the save (as base damage is low and even half will still proc the elemental barrage). I suppose it is made to keep the magic deceiver good in later levels even though you have only level 6 spells cap.

[@Ceriu]

False on Haunting Mists my dude...just use True Seeing theres no reason you cant get it off on all your guys with Mythic OP bullshit...and also Mythic Metamagic "Selection" ...voala your allies are now not being harmed by it in any way. And the mythic selection meta mastery doesnt even increase its spell level...spell slaps mid game.

[@1stSlug]

Does anyone know where I could find a guide on an updated Sword Saint build that uses new mechanics/feats?

[@yuriiherbenko8381]

Haunting Mist with Selective Meta? It could potentially provide free mass shaken for Shattered Defences. (I didn't test so I have no idea)

[@gaoaibai6243]

Intensified Spell is pretty much mandatory now I think, UNLESS you don't take Bolster for some reasons... The 5 additional levels of dices will massively boost Bolster damage and they BOTH cost only 1 level up too, pretty much the best combo you can ask for especially with favorite metamagic making both cost 0. Legend casters are now very viable with this DLC tbh take Lich and boost the Mythic spells with this I think you can go a long way.

[@spellandshield]

Praying for those sweet archetype guides....you are a god man!

[@Sapphic001]

Hi bro. Will you do a summary build update for all your existing builds video .?

[@FedoG88]

Is there a way to loop with "Come and get me" and Trickster's Mobility 2?

[@d34rth]

When would you take Intensified Spell in your Blaster Caster Azata build?

[@bobmcbobbob2391]

Does Ambuscading spell work with shattered defense and frightful aspect?

[@violau8550]

New Bard archetype can sing and make enemies flatfooted

[@Irydion]

Your talk about intensify with hellfire ray made me check how much damage the last blaster I played did (without intensify). It was 1755 damage per cast, bypassing all immunities and resistances, and with 64 spell slots to cast it. Imagine adding intensify to that!

[@HendrikHagelslag]

It should increase the damage by about one-third, assuming a CL of 20 or higher. It might be time to whip up another Eldritch Archer soon. Although I'm sure they removed the yank from Kingmaker's interaction between the class and that particular spell. 150d6 in sneak attack dmg alone, per attack, that is.

[@steele5823]

Now that the game is done we need updated companion build guides, updated divine and arcane spell guides, updated items guide, updated best archetype guides, maybe an updated animal companion guide. I think WoTR will have extreme longevity (even better than Deadfire for example). You are the community’s #1 creator and I think such final word videos would do extremely well in the long run if you could consolidate all your knowledge into a master playlist. We now seem to know, for example, that loremaster will forever give you the trickster critical feats. Merged angel / legend / loremaster with trickster feats guide? Also a limited spoilers review of the mythic paths and companions from a story perspective as well as mechanics perspective (with full spoilers at the end). You know more about this game than anyone else on YT, and I think we’d all welcome your definitive final review and guides. Most of the guides would probably just be tiny tweaks to existing content. Hope you do it before someone else does and steals all your previous guides to do so.

[@chaitanyateja6415]

Early waiting for new builds

[@kylevanderwolf4446]

-Waits patiently for a deceiver build to use for a Merc-

[@notalefty999]

Unfortunately, I assume its a bug, but intensified spell does not raise the cap of chain lightening. My guess is because its coded differently, hence they had to separately cap this spell as of a recent prior patch. This is a big nerf for Azatas in particular. But yes it is fantastic for hellfire ray AND if you have Razmir ring, it works with Devil's hellfire ray. That said, so does the mask, and two free casts of hellfire ray, or a free cast and another spell, is clearly better that a 33% increase to 1 cast. You are generally 1 shotting enemies with a decent hellfire ray build anyway, so more damage is often just more overkill.

[@austen8718]

Haunting Mist is really good for cheesing the succubus in Act 1. Woljif can get this spell, then you can just drop it in the room and wait.

[@acrab6527]

Might be good if you suck at illusion magic, so your party members always pass the save.

[@errant575]

Haunting Mist is really rather good. You can sneak/go invisible drop it on a pack of enemies and then wait for them to die. It's mostly good early game. With this spell I took out the Tower of Estrod without initiating combat.

[@246Rennie]

I fell like Come get me would be pretty strong on bloodrager since you can use arcane bloodline to always have displacement when raging and you can cast mirror image.

[@chrispowell2480]

Hello! Loved the video as always. Just wanted to point out in testing, fused haunting mists doesn't apply the effects of the other spell. I presume this is because it doesn't actually "target" anything, just creates the fog, but it doesn't work even with other aoe spells, i.e. fireball. I doubt this is intended, so hopefully it's fixed soon.

[@homeostasis1103]

My biggest issue with feint is that you need to spend too much resources on that to actually benefit from it

[@someguyatsubway]

Im definitely giving the Chelaxian Diva a go as a sort of melee hybrid bard, gonna see how it works with a Dhampir

[@Voncasey223]

Do you think we can get another OP Demon Build for the DLC? Looking to get back into this game and dont want an outdated build.

[@KimmoKM]

Come and Get me sounds like a nice power for instinctual warriors who are going to get really high AC and starting from Act 3 the -4AC is kinda negligible, but then again, they're also going to get really high initiative, so chances are most fights will be over during the surprise round before they even get hit...

[@empty3102]

I wonder if its a toggle or if you have to keep activating it every round. Its absolutely game changer as it will mean no longer needing 10 lvs of aldori defender to get counterattack, and that it'll work for more than just dueling swords.

[@sushishark824]

Will you be making new pf builds for the new update?

[@graky]

Looking forward to new builds for the DLC

[@kurtbrisch5776]

It seems they nerfed grave singer as it no longer appears to have the huge crit range.

[@BLACKDOJAH789]

Has any of your builds suffer from the new updates ?

[@Alister222222]

I'm wondering if feint would be a good pickup on a vital striking build. While I'm aware that vital striking is far from meta, it could be a viable route on some more generalist builds that have other jobs but still want to hit things hard occasionally. When the enemy runs up to you, it would be fun indeed to feint and then smack them with a massive 4x damage vital strike (that would also be even more fun if it happened to crit).

[@violau8550]

I guess Feint means use you can do Shatter Defenses Strike without Dazzling display and shatter defense feat, they really boost Persuasion specialist to the highest in this new DLC

[@Alister222222]

@@violau8550 I'd add that it's superior to shatter in one way: I could be wrong but don't think feint counts as a mind-affecting effect, so should work on things that are immune to shaken, like undead (if you aren't an undead bloodline sorcerer or dirge bard) and constructs.

[@violau8550]

@@Alister222222 hmmm I played mod feint specialist Monk Archetype before, it use Wis as Persuasion Bluff skill, and it's mind affecting skill, can't work on undead or animal. Hey, who knows maybe Dirge Bard can make good use of it.

[@Alister222222]

@@violau8550 It seems from an RP point of view it shouldn't be; it makes sense that demoralize wouldn't affect a construct because it doesn't have emotions, but feint absolutely should, because it does have a 'mind'. If you're doing a kind of 'fake out' move to trick your target, it shouldn't matter if its undead, a plant, or a construct - no matter what it is, as long as it has a mind it should be able to be tricked (which is why it annoys me that you can't trick a spider as it has only 1 int, making it ineligible; I'd think a spider would be very easy to fake out with a move like this). The one exception would be some kind of being that can see the future or read your mind, in which case they would recognize a trick and thus be immune to it, but every other creature should, at least in an RP sense, be susceptible to it.

[@violau8550]

@@Alister222222 Yeah that makes sense, since animal or undead just act based on instinct and natural behaviour, feint means make them do one thing but you do another thing instead. Ah well, good thing is this Wrath most are demon with mind, unlike Kingmaker there are tons of undead. (Which that's why I gave up play Feint Monk mod in Kingmaker)

[@charlesdean2781]

Love your content bro. Keep it up.

[@aeon5566]

Would this intensified spell feat make the magus kit mechanic of using a touch spell as a free weapon attack worth it? Currently using the spell combat or whatever it is called actually lowers your dps because of losing the 50% str bonus to damage rolls. Hmmmm... this could be interesting. Going with completely normal spell from Trickster to cast 20d6 damage touch attacks with Shocking Grasp every round may be worth it. You'll need to invest in electricity damage though. Otherwise you have Corrosive Touch, but that's a d4 spell.

[@Dioptase26]

First!!!

[@flemsha]

Heaven’s Wing Strike on a Magus is fantastic. As you’ll probably be focused on evocation and be getting up close and personal it lets you for almost no investment in feats or mythic abilities you probably wouldn’t take have a strong area of effect crowd control spell.

[@leyasu888]

can't wait for you to make a munchkin build guide for the sable company archetype. Currently leaning towards dipping 4 lvls to titan fighter to dual wield fauchards or maybe longspears but i heard longspear double damage from charge is not working

[@notalefty999]

Havent you missed the new feat that allows raging classes (including scald) to power attack with con bonuses? I am not sure if this stacks with strength or not. Come and get me looks potentially great for a insightful rager for example, or a build with vampiric blade could use it more safely, particularly as you can block crits. Edit: its raging brutality, requires rage, power attack and 12 BAB and a swift action lasting only 1 turn, so this is a potentially significant limitation. It adds con to damage only, or 1.5 con with a two hander. I assume this stacks with strength. Doesnt multiply on crit. The description states expend some of your rage, but I have no idea if it uses up rounds, which would be moot for limitless rage anyway, but might tax skalds rather heavily, who would go from using 1 point every 3 rounds to potentially using 2 per round (you could no longer stop and restart to maximise lingering song as this is also a swift action). Its not at all clear what this means specifically from the description. It could just be flavour text. A demon or azata in particular (or lategame Aeon) can push constitution very high, so this could be a large damage increase.

[@arddv1]

Lategame skald can wear singing steel breasplate making his rage song a free action.

[@secrecy2744]

You did actually miss one feat. It's called "spell bane" or some such. It increases your DC by 2 if your weapons has the Bane ability on it.

[@Alister222222]

I could see Acrobatic Spellcaster having some use on a magus who doesn't take the L20 capstone. As much as I love maguses, no matter how high you get your concentration you still always seem to sometimes fail and cop a bunch of opportunity attacks when you're using spell combat. If you toggle on the acrobatic mode, I imagine this means you'd then have a chance to negate the opportunity attack using your mobility when you roll that nat-1 on your concentration check. It's still not a strong feat per se, but that's pretty much the one use case I can think of where it might be useful.

[@shrimpofdeath5199]
