Pathfinder: WotR - "Isaac" Mantis Zealot Build 

That's some dedication. A let's play of the full game is over 100 hours. Can't wait to see it.

Slandered playing Warpriest??!? thats got to be the biggest highlight of 2024 for the channel so far, what a crazy time!

Some day, I am going to dig myself deep in Pathfinder, as it is so interesting and complex build-wise. Thank you for the great videos!

I've been looking for some inspiration to play a righteous evil dude and this is exactly it! Awesome content as always!

That's awesome, my dude. I hope you have a blast in this new playthrough. Going through the game again myself, because this game is beyond amazing, and I'm looking forward to listening to your videos while playing. Good luck on your Devil path run!

Man perfect timing. I just began playing again. gonna see if I can finally make it through the whole game and this seemed like a solid straight forward choice that I wouldnt need to have to multi-class. Even so I was at a lost of what i was gonna do for it and build can be molded well for different builds My guy is going Law and War blessings and gonna go full Aeon since I have to be lawful anyway. Thanks a lot!

So excited! Let’s goooo!!

I'm definitely gonna play alongside you in your let's play.

Thx Big Mike (from chuck the tv series, i think you 2 look very similar :D), definitely gonna try this when i have more free time.

Great video! MZ definitely feels like the better Warpriest!

Can't wait to see it! I'm doing an LP of my own; Shadowheart from BG3 as a living grimoire.

If you look at the end of the Castlevania series (last episode of season 4), when there's that big reveal of a certain 2 people in an inn room (being purposely vague to avoid spoilers) Just before that there's a cutaway shot of it raining outside and a man who's features are all completely obscured by a hood and crossed arms. He does however have a long blue tunic with a deep V neck, and I will not be convinced that isn't Isaac. Why is he there? IDK.

I just voted on this and lo and behold you’ve already started, good thing I voted for this storyline

Sweet! The minute I saw this class I thought of making a Night Sister character.

Lets goooooo!!!!! Isaac is the man!

Isaac is such a amazing character the depth and writing they put into his character and arch during the show blew me away.

Just bought and started WotR, came across your videos for build inspiration. I’m very excited for this playthrough as I get to watch a evil guy do his thing. Can you please take the time to look at cool lore things? Also what difficulty will you be playing on?

Bro I've been right with you on how bad Warpriest is, but this build looks solid. Excited to see him in action. I've been trying out the Titan fighter with mixed results in the early levels.

If i can make a build suggestion. Mechanics wise the Zealot doesn't really gain anything with devil. The best builds are blaster casters die to unlimited Hellfire ray. Try to pick up Point blank shot and precise shot. Also. Spell pentration. That way, end game HR will actually hit the demons SR. Find metamagic rods. Also, in chapter 3, get that ring that increases fire dmg.

Good build, I just started an unfair Mantis Zealot/Devil run. It is also fits in well with the lore because while Achaekek is not a devil, its realm is next to Hell.

You will be a Devil, not a Demon. Remember that. Devil 😈

Lol I was a necromancer true neutral his bg was " a good kind man who was lied into making a demonic pact" I called him Faust .😂😂😂

the portrait looks so good what program/site do you use for it?

Warpriest is very strong, because the class has absolutely good action economy, at start it feel weak (actually it is absolutely strong at first 4 level because the damage buff from domain), but once you cast enough Divine Favor then Divine Power, stunning barrier,, it can really shine. And it always should dual wield with light weapon because warpriest can boost light weapon damage. But of course warpriest seem weaker than other classes when you can pre buff everything over the top, so their self buff value seem not that high. So far i think cult leader is the strongest since they have good sneak attack, i will definitely do Mantis on next N time playthrough.

There's new boots you can buy in drezen that give you permanent greater heroism

Here's a build idea for living grimoire. Robin from fire emblem awakening. A war domain inquisitor who became a tactician for the crusaders

Unfortunately, I am terrible at pre planning a build. That's why I have to leave the character respec option on and I frequently change to whatever feels fun.

I think this will be the third full playthrough of Wotr since you did Lich 2+ years ago.

I mean you coulda left a -10 attack on the table, sure attacks are good, but a lot of feats, you coulda get +4 to crit defense, toughness, the +2 for one of the saves feat, etc. I dno theres a lot of good options.

The only thing I would do differently is take two blind fighting feats at the end.

i played mantis a little and its super strong

Smart as always, an incredible character for an amazing playtrough😮

Personally, while I feel what you created here would definitely be a very powerful damage dealer, I don't think it really fits the Isaac theme. When I think of Isaac, I think of summoner with a focus of evasive maneuvers and a single blade fighting style, which probably wouldn't be any fun to play for very long in a game as number crunchy as WotR, but that's just my inner roleplay enthusiast overriding my inner minmaxer 😆 It'd be nice if game metas didn't make roleplaying as specific character theme in a roleplaying game less viable 😞 I hope in their next game Owlcat designs the experience to let players fail upward, so that losing an encounter just changes the way the story progresses rather than limits your progress, to allow for more interesting roleplay opportunities 🙂

Fitting to make Charisma the dump stat. Everyone in the series just SHITS on poor Isaac. Well, everyone except Dracula 😅

Oh man, perfect rp characterisation.

looks good can't wait

Wait? No Seize the Moment in a melee build? Did something change?

where you find the two sabers? thx

I said in the chat and I will say it again hulurn and terendelev about to heal a mantis zealot

I like your ideas, all very thematic! I would probably take Slashing Grace at level five, in place of Piranha Strike, to get Dexterity damage online before Mythic level four. Could be an earlier boost to damage without taking a minus to hit. But that is only if you're playing from level one, if you're just building for level 20, I don't see anything I would change!

Yeah and i was the laughing stock of the chat when i defended war priest muhahah! You say Issac was corrupted- us war priest stans, rather use the word 'enhanced'!

Not a great way to go, but Clerics can pick Akachek as their deity and start with proficiency with those blades

Nice intro, but just to say Isaac never was good at all :D, nice build.

Issac was my favourite character in Castlevania...shame the new series is so much worse.
