If you want the better DCs then you want to avoid Trickster entirely. CNS doesn't stack with itself, it's a Metamagic like any other. Stat Focus can't be used to increase DCs either. Trickster is mostly for utility perks, martial buffing, and crits. So in that sense you can run a Ray crit build though it will take a really long while to bloom and it will require Eldritch Knight or Loremaster levels to work.
That just gives you access to stronger spells sooner but everyone eventually gets to lvl 17 and you got no advantage. Now I wonder who can sling best spells at that level.
Ah that is shame
I was hoping it could stack but maybe they figured it would be too strong. But from I can read from Demon you can get +3 DC and 2x roll for any spell (and +2 from Mythic Spell Focus). I wonder if anyone else can get something similar. How long do these aspects of demons last when activated, can you activate both lesser and greater at same time (+3 is lesser, 2x save is greater) and how often between rests can these be used? Trickster into Legend has bonuses always active.Spells scale with caster levels. Spell levels determines DC. You get more caster levels with mergers, you get more spells, you get higher DC, you get better spells.
In this case I want it for last 30% :D
way more than +3DC because you can stack aspects
Poor Lann took a hit for the team.
5 levels of loremaster means delaying your bloodline powers. i'd only go loremaster if it meant getting some impossible spell from another school. like greater command.
Best DC caster for the 70% of the game is Azata, best DC cater at the max Mythic power is Demon. Lich does not have a forced reroll for the save or suck spells and that automatically puts him in the lower category. And Weird casted with CL 17 = Weird at CL 30 on the character with the same stats, feats and items. Previously, Lich could at least get +CHA from the Lord of Undead, but that was hit with the nerf hammer recently, but Demon still gets permanent up to +7 Int from Aspect of the Coloxus and can cast 3 spells per round in the rage (standard, move and quick action), not mentioning all + DC and -Enemy Saves he gets from different aspects and Rage itself (around +7-10).
His question was "So guys what would be strongest main character pure caster?" not DC caster. The answer is any merged mythic. The end.
You don't delay anything if you take them after level 15. Arcane bloodline gets School Power 15, basically nothing else after and arcane apotheosis is garbage.
Well, Merged Angel is the strongest damage-oriented-caster Mythic, no arguments here. My issue is with Lich, who is presented as casting-oriented Mythic but ended up in the weird place where it has absolutely nothing to offer to improve spellcasting beside unique spells and boosted CL. No attribute bonus, no +DC, no forced reroll, no damage per dice effects, no extra spells per round from free Quicken or Move Action.
This is why I don't like Lich and Angel, you end up not being a spellcaster, you are just Lich or Angel because their special spells are always better than all others except maybe some buffs.
Yes. Favorable Magic forces the enemy to roll twice and take the worse result any time they make a save against your spells, persistent spell forces them to save again if they pass the first time, so they effectively have to pass 4 rolls on the first spellcast (persistent doesn't apply to rolls on subsequent rounds, but Favorable Magic does):
