Top 5 Archer Builds Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous Guide - Multiclass, Prestige Class and Single

1 rowdy/ 1 visco/ 1 sroc(huracanebow) /4 Dragon disiple ( sence vitals)/ the rest fighter or rowdy

these archer build are not viable for unfair or even heroic diff level. when i build my archers for these diff I pick a multi class that can have a pet. like for example laan and divine hound from hunter class as an example 3 in zen/17 into hound, u get a pet on top of that free team work feets, and inquisitor powers. and when u ride a pet these team work feet have amazing synergy. also not to mention it fee many feat that pet would had to take (mandatory team work feets) to take something else, either tanking or more dmg.

For Rowdy why did you chose Brightborn and Hunter?

Thanks for this albeit very late. I am playing a demonslayer ranger on the enhanced version of WOTR now and its a lot of fun

One of the best WotR videos I've watched and learned from. Thanks Fex

Is it worth it to take manyshots/clustershots/rapidshots on a rowdy rogue bow user doing vital strikes?

I feel like it is worth mentioning that rowdy rogue works particularly well with the trickster mythic path thanks to the extra sneak attack dice. That isn't even mentioning how well the combination of vital strike and sneak attack die synergize with the advanced mobility trick.

So turns out EA2 (with ranged spell combat and spellstrike both toggled), sohei6 (and 11), rapid shot, and many shot stack...











BOW GO BRRRRRRRTTTTTTT

I was disappointed to not see a fighter archer dip in any of these builds. A human fighter can easily match a Zen archer in dmg out put with sheer feats and Dr mitigation. But that was tabletop, and Zen archer couldn't be a unchained monk so my math might be off.

What would be a good heritage trait to pick for this rowdy rogue build as a half elf? Building my first character, thanks!

Divine Hunter all the way, at least if you have time to buff before fights!

Lann... Just Lann is the best archer. I cannot stress how OP Zen archers are in the game and in the TTRPG game.

Bows seem really op is this normal or do all my other builds suck ?

Any thoughts on Arched build for a legendary hero?

mutation fighter is a better archer than all of these.

Hi thanks for the video ! However I can't find how to switch to eldritch knight from eldritch archer, how do you do it ?

Do you think the Zen archer/Cult leader build would work well on Lann?

Rowdy with crossbow, str dump skill monkey. Lots of damage early game, then falls off a bit until you get all improved vital strike feats.

For eldritch archer do I focus on spell feats? Like spell penetration, school focus, spell focus? Or do I focus on archer feats like deadly aim, manyshot, rapidshot? Does insight for touch attack work? Should I focus completely on my bow and think of the spells as arrows? I'm so confused.

no zen archer/primal druid ? its quite fun(massive buffs) and you have a pet to anoy anemies :p

I've been having issues with my hunter build and being able to use my level 2 and 3 spells. What am I missing? What stat am I not focusing on that make them available for use.

No talk about mythic weapon finesse applying dex to range damage? I mean I'm not sure if it should but it does

you still making Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous Guide videios?

How do Eldritch Archers make a full attack with Ranged Spellstrike? The ability says they only get one free attack?

top5 archers. 0 rangers.
stupid shit game lol

Full Demonslayer is very mean as well, w/ self buffs like Aspect ofhte Falcon & Hurricane Bow and the ability to boost your entire team v demons

How about a Legend Path build with Rowdy 20, Vivisectionist 20?

when you say any ranged weapon i guess you dont mean crossbows, as they are weaker, right?

Thanks for the guide, i noticed you sound sick or tired, get some rest and get well

Vital strike does not work with ranged attacks, so rowdy rogue is out.

What about taking only 11 levels of Zen Archer just to get the second extra flurry attack? Levels beyond 11 don't seem to do very much (there's only so many Ki powers you need), so you could add, say, 9 levels of Slayer for swift Studied Target and 3 sneak attack dice. Another class I think could be interesting to mix with Zen Archer, since they are both WIS based, is Instinctual Warrior. Thoughts?

for the eldritch archer build, you can instead do Eldritch Scoundrel 8, EA 2, EK 10, or Scoundrel 10, EA 2, EK 8, depending on how important spell critical is to you.

The advantage to this is it gets you a bunch of sneak dice on your archer :).

Trying to theory craft a sohei with a hunter style pet at range. He has the flurry and doesnt get that ki arrow thing, also gets a pet and gets godly initiative checks, I really think a sohei archer could rival a zen archer with the benefits of getting a cool pet

#1 Lann. omg does he make my main character look weak

Man, I really hope we get other guides like this. Dual weird, two hander builds would all be super cool. Hardest part of this game is figuring out what class to play and just do it lol, rather than keep second guessing and start over.

thanks, Im building rogue with a support for Greater Invisibility, its awesome

What stats do you suggest for eldritch archer?? dex/int i suppose. I´m not min/maxer.

is it just me or in real time combat characters don't seem to get all the attacks as you do in turn based combat? Even when not moving they seem to fire less.

Can someone explain me "weapon finesse" and "composite" tags in weapon?? If my archer is using a longbow that does not have "composite" tag, is he using his DEX modifier to do damage??

Ok but how precisely build a rowdy rogue ? what feat exactly

I absolutely love how much this video reminds me of those Giant in the Playground threads.

So where's the actual builds?

Great video as always... Can you make a similar video for melee damage dealers plz?

Out of curiosity, does the "Crusader" cleric archtype still have 1 less spell slot a level and does it mention this?
As in kingmaker It was missing the slots as the pen and paper rules said it should, but the video game didn't mention it.
More or less curious how much has been copy pasted, and which things have been look at in detail.

Take trickster path, save that one arrow from the beginning of the game, the one that deals 50 dmg and cant miss. Take feat at rank 2 that doesnt spend charges when used. Have fun.

It is not 100% true that you can only use strength on composite bows: It might be niche, but there is also the slingstaff (halfling weapon). It is actualy pretty fun to play Eldritch Archer wit slingstaff, as you can sling snowballs at enemies.

Crusades management guide would be nice

For Lann, I've opted for a 3 Zen Archer/1 Roudy Rogue/16 Slayer build. Depending on what you are going for, 1 level dip into Roudy Rogue gets you the free Vital Strike feat + the extra 2d6 per sneak attack. You can then get the actual sneak attack levels from ANY class that gives it and boost Vital Strike to insane levels. Slayer gives you a lot of sneak attack levels (not as much as Rogue), but is full BAB and also gives a ton of Feat (to be able to take Improved and Greater Vital strike plus all kinds of others) and Advanced Rogue options like Crippling Blow and others. For a MC build, you can omit the 3 Zen archer levels and pick up something like Vivisectionist for 30 min mutigen and 2 more levels of sneak attack or something like that.

Another good option is 3 Zen/1 Roudy/16 Cult Leader. Gives you all the divine spell goodness + Sneak Attack + Vital Strike + Wisdom for bows. Less Feats to work with, but you can still get the important ones along with Improved and Greater Vital strike since you don't have to get rapid and manyshots due to Flurry of Blows.

Zen archer is strongest early game, but it falls off hard as you level up compared to other archers.

Manyshot is much better than flurry once most of your damage comes from static modifiers like Str bonus, bane, divine power, crusader's edge, sun marked, studied target, etc.

Multiclassing into zen archer instead of using manyshot is a bad trade.

Even in PnP, where we don't have half the stuff that's in this game, Warpriest and Inquisitor DPR is nearly double Zen Archer by level 10 or so.

I noticed the video also didn't really factor accuracy at all. That also pushes classes with things like divine power and study target ahead of the rest on average, which should matter a lot given high stats of enemies in this game.

There was also brief mention of penetrating strikes, but not of Align Weapon completely bypassing all DR with no limit, not costing a feat and being castable on other party members.

Most effective archers should be Sacred Slayer and Warpriest.

The Video is very great and i waitet a long time to get some more informations about Archer builds. But it would be interesting too if you speak about the mythic paths which fit great to the builds or in total for archers. Because for example you pointet out how well sneack attack works. ZA fuill does not have sneak attack, so would a Trickster fit great ? because he adds sneack attack or are other path better then that? Like Lick for EA/EK build. etc.
