Trickster 9, Legend 8, nigga what?

He's ranking based on personal enjoyment and he's probably right. Trickster has fun abilities but the worst writing of all the paths by a mile and is one of the worst ways to enjoy the game. Legend is gimmicky and rarely is the lvl 40 power worth sacrificing the mythic powers for. Especially when lvl 9/10 Mythic has so many broken shit.

Legend gets the benefit of full Mythic powers for two whole chapters before it even starts. People overlook how big a difference 20 extra lvls of BAB/saves is whatever the class (and all the extra rest) but 90% of ideas I see are missing the point:

Legend lets you pick up not just one but two Prestige classes without sacrificing class level progression in base class like it usually does. That’s… a huge difference. Three capstones etc
BAB means nothing in a game where you can buff yourself to twice the AC of unfair bosses and initiate infinite attack loops for infinite damage on at least two mythic paths even after the Improved Critical feat nerf that previously allowed an extra method of initiating an infinite attack loop. Despite what many think, Legend is actually a relatively very weak mythic path in a game where Demon and Trickster deal infinite damage with Demon being able to do so right at the end of chapter 2.

Moreover, multiple mythic paths (Lich, Aeon, Trickster) offer an extremely underrated power - full dispel which is pretty much an instant death sentence to any boss since a huge chunk of their defensive and offensive power lies in their buffs. Here's a demonstration from my current martial Aeon run in progress:

eavw2m.jpg


Another thing to consider is the capability to cast spells as move action (Demon, Aeon) as well as obtain inherent spell persistency on all spells (Azata, Demon) - something that no amount of extra levels or capstones will allow you to do and ensuring that Legend will always remain a massively underpowered caster regardless of how you build him.

The reality of this game is that mythic synergies are more powerful than any non-mythic synergies you can think of.
The existence of multiple ways to beat the game does not make one more powerful than another.

Why do so many confuse sucking at something with that thing sucking? If Legend doesn't need all those buffs that means... Legend can beat things without them, freeing up party comp or simply being more resilient.

Dispel was nice on Aeon and Trickster as I pointed out at the time but now there's support in-game for Dispelling without needing Mythic abilities (and TTT fixes it to limit Dispels to one per four caster lvls since full Dispel breaks the game).

Finding the one weird trick to break the game is not the point of playing these games. There is no ladder. These aren't shitty phone games where you break it so you can get to the next one.
There is nothing Legend can do that other mythic paths cannot do better. Absolutely nothing: melee damage, DC casting, ray casting, AoE damage casting - other mythic paths do all of this much better. Legend offers you flexibility and variety, but it does not achieve the peak performance in any area that can be achieved only through appropriate mythic synergies.

Angel loses both actions on doing a full dispel and thus can't do anything else.
Just use a quicken rod? Greater Dispel is even a level 6 spell, so you can use standard rods rather than greater ones.

Sure, you might need 2 casts which uses up your first turn. But as you said, a fully debuffed boss is basically a harmless cakewalk, so the rest of your team either kills it on turn 1 or you do on turn 2.

Areelu's DC check is 34, so CL 30 is practically a guaranteed shot and just a few CL boosts (or the glasses, for your first cast) makes it guaranteed. Though if you're exploiting the glasses then fully dispelling bosses is not really difficult with any party, even level 20 characters can do it.
Using a rod of quicken just turns a spell into a swift action. Since Angel cannot cast spells as move action, he needs to cast the second dispel as a standard action, leaving him no actions to actually attack with. Proper dispeller mythics (Aeon, Lich, Trickster) will retain one standard (Lich, Aeon) or swift (Trickster) action and can use it to instantly kill/disable the dispelled boss on their own turn.

Dispel seems to be bugged all or nothing. Is that a mod thing or are you getting it in vanilla?

I have toybox but nothing that would change things AFAIK. I thought Owlcat fixed it to roll on each spell, but either they didn't or the bug snuck back in.

Point is, you can still pretty easily dispel bosses. Waiting for turn 2 to kill them isn't a big deal, worst case you have last stand.

It's true, you can dispel, even demon can dispel reasonably well:

But as I said: the action economy is not the same, there's a difference between needing to wait for your second turn or your party member's turn and simply delivering a quick one-two dispel-kill/disable on the same turn. There are levels to this.

Specifically, switching Trickster into Legend is a pretty cool path, because obv all your improved items are still there from the whole party, and you can also reset all of your guys bypassing lvl req for perks. So a lot of Trickster power is still there even after you flip into Legend.

It's bait, nothing you gain from 20 more levels is as powerful as what a mere Trick Fate can do.

It's honestly hard to reach chapter 5 in the first place without being powerful enough to totally wreck the game on whatever you're difficulty you're playing at, arguing about balance at that point is meaningless because the game should be easy. You choose your final mythic path based on what kind of storyline you want to see, nothing more. Mythic choice balance matters in chapter 3 and 4.

While technically correct, like Manatee mentioned, it hardly matters at that point. Legend is plenty cool and powerful too.

Precisely. In fact, the nerf to Improved Critical feat made the switch from Trickster to Legend even less desirable. Before the nerf, Trickster could reach a critical threat range of 9-20 which was overkill since all you need for a 100% critical chance is a 11-20 crit threat range. After the nerf, the best critical threat range Trickster can achieve is 12-20, which means no more 100% critical chance for either Trickster without Trick Fate or Legend who switched from Trickster.

Well, yeah... and? Do you need 100% crit chance for something? Consider it mandatory, necessary or balanced?

I guess it makes your e-peen bigger?


Don't get me wrong, I enjoy breaking a game's balance in half as much as anyone. Does not mean it's mandatory or even most enjoyable to play this way.

This issue occurs due to a bug in transferring a save from The Lord of Nothing DLC company (team with Sendri, Rekarth and Penta) to the main game.
    Because of this the game could not read the ending of The Lord of Nothing DLC company and could not give the corresponding storyline for the commander.
    We have prepared an update and instructions for you to fix the bug. If you encountered this problem while already on the location Portal to the Abys" and passed it from beginning to end then:
    1. It is better to use an earlier save from the main game, right after entering the location or before it.
    2. After loading the problematic save you will see a window with the transfer of the save.
    3. Please select your save from the list of saves made in the final The Lord of Nothing DLC, where you played as Penta and Sendri, and confirm your choice.
    !Otherwise the error will not be fixed!
    4. If the transfer the save is successful - you will be able to continue your passage of the DLC as a commander.
    5. If transferring the save does not yield any results, please send us a new error message in the game by pressing Alt+B (this will help a lot in solving this problem).
    How do I know if the save transfer was successful?
    1. If you are on the global map near the location Portal to the Abyss or already on it, but only at the very beginning and have not yet had time to go further, then entering it you will not break the cutscene, which shows the portal itself and those who guard it.
    2. If you are closer to Drezen, you can enter the tavern and to the right of the entrance, by the fireplace, you can see your party from the addition (if any of them survived).
    We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. You're awesome!

  • Fixed bugs in dialogs in A Dance of Masks DLC;
  • The descriptions for the Storyteller's items are now displayed correctly;
  • In A Dance of Masks DLC, a bookevent for Swarm-That-Walks now works correctly;
  • A randewoo with evil Arueshalae during the events of A Dance of Masks DLC will drain levels from the player character;
  • The game could freeze when making the final screenshot for A Dance of Masks DLC - fixed;
  • If a player had no active romances, they were teleported to Kenabres on every load after completing A Dance of Masks DLC — fixed;
  • Fixed the description of the Enhance the Holy Book — Bane ability.
Freedom of Movement being impossible to dispel from enemies still not fixed after months and months since the bug appeared? Owlclowns.

It's honestly hard to reach chapter 5 in the first place without being powerful enough to totally wreck the game on whatever you're difficulty you're playing at, arguing about balance at that point is meaningless because the game should be easy. You choose your final mythic path based on what kind of storyline you want to see, nothing more. Mythic choice balance matters in chapter 3 and 4.

Drunken masters can't be lawful.

......

You stupid fucks.
Some people (and I'm using that term very loosely) on ribbit cried and now they can.
It's just...it's...It's so fucking retarded.

Drunken masters didn't drink for the sake of drinking. If they did drink (and wasn't just pretending to be drunk), it was a ritualistic HIGHLY LAWFUL affair. The idea was that there was path of enlightenment to be found through alcohol. Not that they could party hardy.

Fucking hell. There's a reason why it was always considered a still lawful archetype in Pathfinder proper. Fucking idiots.

Fun fact: Now that Drunken Master can't be lawful , now they can't use any of the Monk Robes.

Yeah, but not being able to role-playing as a Cayden Cailean Monk would be lame. :M

No, it's fucking stupid to think that any monk of any kind would fit in Cayden Cailean's crowd to begin with.

I like Cayden, but the idea of ANY kind of monk fitting into that crowd is stupid beyond belief.

edit - I'm all for people using mods such as toybox to change things, but things like this THAT DON'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE shouldn't be officially messed with because a couple of whiny retards wanted it.

Is this game all a linear combat fest? Played a couple of hours and so far its just linear path, a couple of gay story lines and more combats using buffs while collecting piles and piles of loot. Is the entire game this way?

No. It's somewhat linear in chapter 1 (you can hit locations in Kenabres mostly in any order before the final assault on the citadel, you just have to go through the market square). Mostly linear in chapter 2. Nonlinear in chapters 3, 4 and 5.
