r/WrathOfTheRighteous

Hey everyone,

I just finished Pathfinder: Kingmaker and I'm about to start Wrath of the Righteous.

For context, I'm pretty experienced with CRPGs in general. I've beaten Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 on Tactician, but Pathfinder's ruleset never really clicked for me. I ended up playing most of Kingmaker on Story because I felt like I was spending more time fighting the system than actually learning it.

I'd like to change that with Wrath of the Righteous.

I'm considering playing on Hard because I want something that forces me to actually understand the mechanics instead of just brute forcing encounters. It'll probably be rough at first but I'm okay with that if it's a good way to learn.

A few questions:

• Where do you all recommend looking for solid, up to date builds for both the main character and companions?
• Is Hard a reasonable place to start for someone who's experienced with CRPGs but still pretty new to Pathfinder, or would Normal be a better learning experience?
• Any general advice you wish you had before starting Wrath?

I'm much more familiar with D&D 5e than Pathfinder, so I'm basically trying to bridge that gap and finally get comfortable with the Pathfinder system. I typically like to make Human / Elf Rogue characters, but again the system definitely feels different than DND ( I went full Knife Master in Kingmaker lol.) I'll likely be making another Rogue in WOTR too. Thanks!

I know there is a mod out there but I think Pillars of Eternity did buffs better. They are only avaliable in combat so you can't stack buffs beforehand and it felt like the game was also balanced around it too. I am not saying that game is better btw just because of this. That approach also takes away from the depth of combat as well. I am just trying to learn how you guys go about buffing. I feel like if I don't stack buffs before every encounter like 2 mins in ch4 and ch5 I am dead in seconds and I feel the game expects me to have like 15 buffs active at a time to keep going and I hate resting in a dungeon for roleplay reasons. Also please don't bring up playing on lower difficulties since the rule book difficulty is core.

Is there a mod that let's poison bypass any and all immunities if you have the corruptor mythic ability? It would make it certainly much more fun and I don't care about balance. If not, does anyone know how to make such a mod?

Thanks in advance.

I switched to story mode (or whatever it’s called). I feel defeated but I’m so happy to not do that fight 10 more times to get so close but ultimately fail 😭

Breaks my heart!

Edit: I moved to casual

So basically everytime i play a new rpg for the first time i get excited about a character concepts i wanna rp as but thet i get disappointed when the game doset have the dialogue/gameplay choices to support it

So i wanna ask you guys before i start my first playthrough

What are some character concepts that work very well with this game?

i'm going for 10 Spawn slayer/ 10 mut warrior and ended up using crpg's builds for once and realized he has mounts for everyone in the builds i chose xD

BUT THEN I REMEMBERED! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME BISMUTH ISNT TAKEN BY A COMPANION!

p.s- bismuth appreciation day when?

Hi guys,

Here's the context: I never played a kineticist before and was looking which companion I should respec into a pure fire one for a new run. I opted for Ember because of her Fire & Burned theme / Atheism / Familiar (I also don't really like the witch class)

But while I was respecing her, I discovered the Overwhelming soul archetype. I know through some research that it is notoriously bad, it is basically a no-cost / no-reward version of the base kineticist.

But the name and theme of the Archetype sound reeeaaally fitting for Ember, an absurdly pure and powerful radiant soul. I also wouldn't have to twitch her terrible elven constitution into something improbable, she could keep her actual base stats.

So here is my question: I play on daring. Given how strong the base kineticist is, would an Overwhelming soul still be a decent damage dealer at that difficulty. Or is the class just too frustrating, not even because of lesser damage, but because all the no-burn limitations ?

Hello, im looking at building a new character that I essentially want to be a teleporting dual wielding freak (in a good way) Doesnt have to be OP but it would be nice to feel like hes dominating the battlefield lol. Any advice would be great. Im open to all

Hi,

es geht um die Schlachten die man mit seinen rekrutierten Soldaten kämpft, darum wie ich die Moral wieder hebe (die ist gebrochen) und wie ich wieder mehr Soldaten pro Woche bereitgestellt bekomme.

Ich hab mich anscheinend zu spät eingelesen und bin jetzt Überfordert.

Bis kurz vor der 2. Stadt (die nach Kanebres) bin ich vorgerückt, habe alle Orte besucht, wie abgegrasst und habe viele feindliche Armeen besiegt.

Die Moral der Truppen ist auf dem niedrigsten Level, wie bekomme ich die wieder hoch (wenn keine Kämpfe mehr übrig sind und alle Queste vor Drezen gemacht sind. Es sind nur noch Kämpfe da die für meine Kämpfer zu schwer sind.

Wie gesagt mir fehlen Truppen, muss ich das Spiel neu starten oder einen früheren Speicherpunkt aktivieren?

Grüße

Looking for some advice about how to make a goth angel character. Basically I want to do the angel mythic path but give my character a goth look and wear all black. What would be a good class for that? Rogue? Fighter? Or maybe a spellcaster?
