[@JohnB-ws4ge]

where would you put the 2 paladin levels some people mentioned?

[@ArcaneAgent]

I would do it at around level 6

[@Roxfall]

You need Mobility 3 for better AC while fighting defensively. Get it early.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yeppers

[@JockoJonson17]

How about Double Dragon build? Two Monk tanks for a 6-man party that stack some of the coordination feats.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Heck yes trip that beast

[@tomm3026]

Diamond Souls gives spell resistance of 10 + monk level, so it's be 25, not 15. Also, when you play game normally, a good rule of thumb is having armor class of 15 + level to be fairly unhittable. At level 20, should want A.C. 35

[@ArcaneAgent]

Ah yes

[@WiseWolfGaming]

As a heads up, putting 3 ranks into Mobility allows you to take less penalty and more AC from Fighting defensively.

[@g4jira1]

Agreed, 3pts on mobility is a must for fighting defensively, also crane wing, crane riposte.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Noice you learn new things every morning during your morning poop

[@daniellarsson4308]

@@ArcaneAgent 3 points of mobility adds +1 dodge bonus when fighting defensively, no more, no less, works for every class. still worth it when creaming. Besides having high mobility or athletics helps to get out of "sticky" situations so nothing to neglect in my opinion, one or the other is good to have decent in. Besides, some nasty tons of xp to be had for managing them mobility or athletics checks in act 3 forward.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yeah I even noticed that at rhe tree area

[@tomm3026]

3 ranks of mobility doesn't lower penalty to hit, but does give +1 AC

[@thullion9578]

Great build, good humor, good explanation, you've got an axtra sub. Nice work!

[@iitzJustWill]

I tried this build before seeing this video. it's super strong.

[@TheLapetra]

As everyone has mentioned, Consider going Lawfull good and putting 2 levels of Paladin in there, Charisma to saves makes your tank even "tankier", but everyone is forgetting to mention smite evil, smite evil will add your charisma to attack against one big bad dude but will also add your charisma to AC against that dude and will make you ignore any DR the enemy has, making your tank even better than it already is when you need it the most (Against Harkula or Vordekai, etc, big bad evil boss dudes).

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes especially against liches

[@ninou2246]

when to do it ?

Just got wrath for Christmas. Bringing this build to the new game, woot

[@darrellthomas1814]

@@ArcaneAgent Thanks a lot for all these videos. I've been learning pathfinder rules from scratch while playing the game so they've been extremely helpful.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I'm currently moving to a new house, will be setting up a new studio in the garage. Then I intend to make some more Wrath of the Righteous content and Rogue Trader content

[@taylorbreckon9473]

Great video! A better tank than my build, but I added a couple of levels of eldritch scion to add touch spell strikes to my flurry of blows. If I recall correctly, it applies the spell to every strike, which is a little cheesy, but it's fun.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I think it only adds the spell to one attack per round. However if you are doing Eldritch Archer, your ray spells such as Hellfire Ray which has multiple rays, it fires all the rays once, as well as full attacks

[@Jamiethekatz]

If you have 13 int and plan to take combat expertise, fury's fall and combat reflexes already, I would recommend trying to get the trip feat sooner so you can get improved trip. Since you have style strike leg sweep you can get improved trip later and get 2 free opportunity attacks from your trips instead of 1. EDIT: For Clarity; disorienting injury only applies -2 to hit. It applies a further -2 to hit against the character who applies it to a total of 4 with only 4 levels in rogue; you need to have 16 rogue levels to make it -8 and again that's only against the rogue. EDIT 2: Finding a way to get Shatter Defenses would really help this build.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes it definitely would

[@ArcaneAgent]

I likes the solo

[@IraRomfh]

"My noes itches" Here have my like sir.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Haha I gotta be real

[@ephasm]

Hey dude enjoyed the videos - would be good to see a tank series, ranged dps series etc. Allow you to try out all the different tank builds etc

[@ArcaneAgent]

All of the tanks, every of the tanks

[@g4jira1]

If you plan on doing solo run.. triggering consistent sneak attack pass round1 maybe a bit complicated. You need at least 1 more party member, or a pet, or greater invisibility, or stunning fist or perma trip the target to trigger flanking. The best would be trip since with leg sweep trip becomes a free action. For trip strategy you'd need high CMB meaning gotta stack some BAB str and dex. Also for solo run without pet/ summons I think it's better to run with minimal to no dependencies to sneak atk dmg. Since you'd be outnumbered, and vs high hp enemy pass round1, and failed trip the dmg will fall dramatically. However i think this monk build is doing good on AC department repectable off tank and caster/archer killer. If you use this on a party run i would suggest: Not sure about focusing monk as a Demoralize guy, since it's better to build Valerie for it (she's suppose to be dazzling anyway :p). Demoralize is a full action. Means wasting 1 round. 1round for monk is at least 2attacks with flurry of blows, At max level 5-6 attacks. Monk is more about Trip as free action i suppose Lv5 replace precise strike with outflank. In party flanking is super easy so almost 100% uptime If you like huge sneak attack number i'd suggest be a Knife master (1d8 sneak dmg) instead of Thug, and use 1handed Sai. Sai still benefit from flurry of blows. since it is a monk weapon & Sai is Considering 1 level of eldritch scion. For lv1 spell like shield and enlarge person also +1weapon enhancement. Since the build already have the Charisma for it. Speaking for high Charisma, 2lv on Paladin will convert that cha bonuses into saving throws. Maybe stretching it too thin since monk has diamond body rolling. But it's an option :)

[@ArcaneAgent]

Nice ideas all around. Ive got a couple of builds in the pipe to bring before you guys this week as well

[@GarthTheMighty]

0:43 Praise the Sun?!

[@ArcaneAgent]

yesssss

[@IAmAnEvilTaco]

So apparently it’s possible to dual wield bastard swords without too much of a penalty. I gather with enlarge person they do stupid damage. Apparently both slayer and rangers allow you to do this without high dex, I gather. But fighter is what you want for no bad penalties for doing it. I have a build challenge for you. This should be good. Dual wield bastard swords, and throw as much damage as possible while doing it. I have a few ideas, like martial cleric with fighter and vivisectionist, maybe slayer vivisectionist, but I’m curious what you’d do here.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Dual wield scythe... Hehe

[@dianabialaskahansen8705]

Trip is good, gives a +2 on trip check. Greater trip should be vital, as it gives attack of opportunity on succesful trip. And Outflank teamwork feat on all your melee characters gives a lot of attacks of opportunity. Also this is a bad solo build, since it is difficult to consistently trigger sneak attack without flanking buddies.

[@ArcaneAgent]

But I like sneakssss

[@dianabialaskahansen8705]

@@ArcaneAgent So do I. Nok-Nok is a beast. But the problem is to trigger the sneak attack when doing solo.

You should check out Callum Bradbury solo monk playthrough. He is almost at end game with his build 😀

[@robcole6]

Thanks so much for your video. Love it, keep up the great work.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Thanks a ton. Its tough down here

[@halfvampire2]

Monk spell resistance is 10+ monk level, so with 15 levels of monk, you have 25 SR

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes spell resistance is yo fraaaand

[@unwithering5313]

ACE-imar, you're not wrong to be honest because they get 2 stat bonuses and no stat penalties is just awesome

[@joshh7819]

I attempted to make a monk build, but I ended up finding 2 kama's with +2 or +4 dodge per kama. So I just ended up getting monk for a few then 1 of Vivi and rest in thug. At lvl 13 or 14 my monk has 44 AC before any potions or spells. and does about 40-80 dmg with sneak attack. Now I did find other items that grant bonus dodge/deflection armor. My main guy looks like a Lisa from The Simpsons in every combat. Btw you have to use a monk weapon to get the effect of flurry of blows.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I thought you could still use monk fists for flurry?

[@Jarredpearman]

You can.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes we can!

[@gaven9763]

Would copying this ingo wrath of the righteous be ok?

[@animewarrior3]

Best monk build for this game is a scaled fist 4, draconic sorcerer 1, dragon disciple 4-5, scaled fist X. This gets you blur/mirror image casts for sorcerer on top of shield and bark skin from monk. +4 strength (untyped) and +2 con (untyped) You wont have more than a +2 dex at the start, but once you start stacking shield/mage armor/bark skin the build does a large amount of damage with great defenses (not just relying on your ac, which is already super high) with the dragon style feats your unarmed strikes are doing the same damage as two handed weapons from your strength.

[@Folsomdsf2]

mage armor is garbage compared to the armor bonuses it doesn't stack with. It's only good at level 1-3, after that you have better options.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Ive yet to find actual robes for mages at level 7 in the game. Unless you know beforehand where its gonna be, Mage armor,spell is nice

[@Folsomdsf2]

@@ArcaneAgent I've already gotten robes and bracers of armor(these do not stack) that can beat them by then. There are also other ARMOR bonuses that you need to remember as well. These do matter.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Well yes but I don't wanna drop feats foe arcane armor. Mage armor is amaze for animal companions

[@Folsomdsf2]

@@ArcaneAgent You're not dropping feats, you're literally just equipping bracers. You know that you /can/ wear things that give you an armor bonus that aren't armor right?

Why no 3 levels of mobility for the extra 1 ac from defensive fighting? Crane commits us to fighting defensive anyway..

[@ArcaneAgent]

Because I was dumb

[@Badbentham]

Great stuff! - Still tend to assume that Kenshiro also had Paladin (fitting: Divine Guardian) 2 , for his full auratic invulnerability. (Not that expensive for +9 all saves, or so...) Body and Spirit, they say. - Nani?! :P

[@jstuckless]

ik this is an old video but for anyone watching in 2021, a 2 lvl dip into paladin is very worthwhile to get charisma bonus to saving throws.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I'm still watching ...

[@darinobryan2207]

I’m thinking 2 paladin instead of the vivisectionist. What do you lose? Unarmed is the same you lose one level of monk. But for a crap ton of saves.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Those saves are definitely something you want

[@ArneValhallason]

Your videos are awesome! You should build a duelist class, I have been wanting to experiment with that one

[@ArcaneAgent]

Duelist is on my do list

[@michaelvanderbeek6869]

With lawful good.. You can add two levels of paladin for +4 saves with divine grace. This is similar to my build

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes ive had a lot of people mention 2 levels of Paladin and the saves. I'll make a saves build soon

[@LEdungeonmaster]

Another Idea, 4 levels of Thug Rogue for frightening/brutal beating, then you can send your enemies running and some sneak attack too

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yeah! I have a scaled fist thug I'm working on

[@theclimbto1]

Now you need to take each of these Builds... likely in order of your 'Most Viewed' from these videos, and do them from Level 1. That way we see how the Progress through the game against Level Appropriate Enemies. And, of course, how they play in Kingdom Management. :D

I'll have to test it more, but shapeshifting isn't as good in this game. Its possible though. I'll stream today on www.twitch.tv/thearcaneagent

[@JohnDoe-nn5pj]

reddit posted a high AC build. Could you find ways to improve on it to make it tankier or better? www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_Kingmaker/comments/9phbpj/high_ac_builds/

[@ArcaneAgent]

Oof those are some already high tanky builds! I'll toy around with them, I'm more of a DPS type person dude, in fact I lean towards the more glass canon type of build hehe. But yes, I'll toy around with that Vivisectionist Build tank for sure!

[@JohnDoe-nn5pj]

thanks, I appreciate that. Just have fun with it. I'm curious about what you come up with.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I always do

[@Jammorg4480]

How do you gain XP?

[@ArcaneAgent]

I posted a video on it

[@araara4717]

Your builds are great AND cool. Not to mention, powerful too. But they're only viable once your levels are maxed out. It's not viable when you're just levelling up because multiclassing at earlier levels puts you at a greater disadvantage because you become weaker.

[@StratEdgyProductions]

I don't know about that. My level 4 27 ac sorcerer monk disagrees.

Hey do you have any tips on making a Ninja build?

[@ArcaneAgent]

Well ninja isnt a class in the game yet, so do you mean a monk type ninja or a stealthy katana type ninja

[@seangray6131]

@@ArcaneAgent either or really I mean I know there's no Ninja class in the game like you said unfortunately but I'm guessing maybe as a start for a ninja build is a Rogue/Monk multiclass

Rogue duelist for intelligence armor boost

@@ArcaneAgent Rogue Duelist huh that's a interesting choice any feats and weapon recommendations

[@ArcaneAgent]

Ill work on the build.,ive got a ranger build out tomorrow and I'm working on a necromancer build as well, necromancer build will be Monday and duelist probably wed

[@cmdrglass5096]

Why are you not using 1st level classes through to 20th level .You know a lot of classes are not very good at lower levels so when you set your character only at 20th or close to that its only shows the high end. Some of the classes don't work well at all until the very end of the class . Wizards are very sucky at lower levels and very fragile

[@ArcaneAgent]

Wizards are amazing throughout if you know what youre doing

[@ArcaneAgent]

What kind of build should I put my spin on next? Let me know in the comments!!!

[@jaredwoodhouse1263]

I have a build I'd like to see you work on. That's building a relationship with me. Because damn, you are one hot man!

[@arshadsoamber5810]

Can anyone explain how he is able to re create a character up to level 20? Is there a re spec mechanism in the game that the stupid me has missed? Please advise. Thank you.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I will advise, ive created 2 videos discussing this very thing. How to respecc your character

[@Dfowler98]

Wait, is this game different than regular Pathfinder in that you can stack the same type of bonuses on top of eachother? If it's not, then why stack all the dodge bonuses if you're just going to be getting the +4 eventually? (Which in tabletop would overrule all the +1's and +2's and +3's)

[@ArcaneAgent]

Dodge stacks . the others dont

[@ArcaneAgent]

You alright? "Poser"? I said that Dodge stacks

[@ArcaneAgent]

Ah sadly the youtube creator app didnt tell me that

[@Dfowler98]

@Jake R I'm not really sure that there's a need for hostility because of a simple mistake. A mistake that was already corrected, too. If that's your knee-jerk reaction, you may want to see someone about that before you get yourself into trouble.

[@huctor8552]

what is the recommended gears ?

[@ArcaneAgent]

Dex for a weapon finesse build. And always wisdom

[@huctor8552]

@@ArcaneAgent isn't scaled monk uses no weapons ?

[@ArcaneAgent]

I believe you can use monk weapons, such as a kama

[@jakubkonecny7369]

Haha i found much better way how to build scale fist tank. Forget rogue. Use barded archeologist. 4 archeologist for uncanny dodge and 1 feat take weapon finesse. 2 iori paladin levels for CHA to saves. And 14 scale fist. If you find amulet of agile fists you realy neednt any rogue (There are 2 monk amulets, one +5 atack/dmg and second +5 atack/dmg + unarmed finesse). Sneaks dont give you much and bard give you mirror images which is best tank spell ever.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Wow

[@tanis022]

can you make a necromancer?

[@ArcaneAgent]

Someone focused on necromancy or on undead minions?

[@tanis022]

I have seen that there are 2 kinds of necromancy, mages and clergy. its your choice.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I wish Wikia or Gamepedia would have their spell lists finished for Pathfinder Kingmaker already. I'd like to easily be able to see the spells for both Clerics or Wizards without having to roll a 20 cleric and a 20 wizard. I'm considering a Touch Attack focused Cleric...

Toying around with a cheat to auto level. Who needs to worry about builds.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Builds are fun when you want to play legit

[@IndyMotoRider]

@@ArcaneAgent Ah I see your point. You do this to map out and know what you need to take and when. I found your vid on how to do this and it worked perfectly with WinRar btw. Much appreciated! And while I might not run a level 20 from the tutorial, I AM tempted to start the game as a wealthy noble's son in possession of 100,000 gold lol.

[@ArcaneAgent]

I wouldn't. It cheapens the game for ya. You need to live through the struggles. Plus I only made these level 20 builds to test their effectiveness, not play the game from the tutorial as a level 20
