Pathfinder: WotR - My Top 5 Favorite Classes 

The Magus and Kineticist seemed like a lot of fun. But Van Helsing Inquisitor was too good to pass up.

I love Slayers because I always loved to play Fighter/Rogue or Ranger/Rogue as I love to do good damage and kill enemies fast but also have persuasion, perception and trickery :)

I'm quite the opposite, really like to roleplay 'holy warrior type'. I blame the Dragon Age series.😁 So anything divine for me, clerics especially!😇

Love the Sword Saint as well. Also find the Slayer as a fun class as well. But my favorite Pathfinder unique class is the Arcanist. Why choose between Wizard and Sorcerer when you can have the best of both...and your own game breaking mechanics too!

I used to hate the “holy warrior”. Then I encountered Michael Carpenter in the Dresden Files

I like inquisitors because... * Screw spell memorisation. * All the skill points! * Judgements are fun.

Honestly can't wait to play the new classes and archetypes

Great video. Bloodrager is one of my favorites as well, all the self buff from arcane bloodline are insane. I also really liked Divine scion paladin and divine scion slayer, major damage with good utility

Thanks for this video. I usually stick to the vanilla classes because I’m new to pathfinder. I tried out some of these and ya inquisitor was awesome. Especially because of the hat. Will try a ranger next

I love Cavalier because I really enjoy the fantasy of a heroic knight fighting demons, not imbued with any magic (except the mythic path)

Figure I'll give my top 5 in no order. I do love Kineticist, never played them until somebody got me to stream one and I actually find them very cool. Ranger is my classic class, the first one I played in Pathfinder. Sorcerers I love for the flavor with the bloodlines, prefer them to Blood Rager, thinking of starting with an Undead Bloodline and go Lich Mythic Path. Magus is another of my favourites, love the Gish and Eldritch Scion is my favourite of them. Lastly would be the Alchemist, and more focused on the Bombs. I love using the Bombs and buffing up everybody with the right discovery, hardly ever use mutagens. Surprised how many we both have as favourites but as always love your videos and look forward to more WOTR content.

I am a big fan of the deliverer slayer, which I think will mean I will love the Sanctified Slayer inquisitor. Paired with a couple of dips, you could have some truly disgusting builds with that class, as you will have tons of skill points, sneak attack, a pet if you want one from your domain selection, extra talents like a slayer, studied target which will help offset inquisitor's 3/4 BAB. I am guessing that even though you can't take 'advanced slayer talents', you could still take an advanced talent if you dipped rogue at the right level (which is how it worked for deliverer in Kingmaker), so you have a lot of options for some real power builds. Sanctified Slayer is going to be awesome :DDDDDD (And need I even add that you get solo teamwork feats, improved critical confirmation, Bane, which is arguably better than sneak attack, but while active would put your damage dice easily on par with a rogue... It will be a true gish).

Even with all of this, I still can't pick a class to stick with!

i will be going Eldritch Scion + dragon disciple for the flavor of... well... jumping in the middle of a battle field with a winged half dragon swinging a elemental charged axe at my foes just turn into a full dragon for the flex .

Having a blast with my undead BL Sorceror who wears mithril armor, uses a greatsword and great cc spells like deep pit, flaming hands etc. going to also take dragon disciple and eldritch knight levels before going full on mythic Lich. Next play will try Gold Dragon path. Amazing game!

Alchemists are my favorite, they are unique class, but 2 best features are casting shield on dual wield characters and their bombs attacks target touch AC. Fighters are my 2nd favorites, especialy with UMD skill to use self buffs from scrolls and wands like Mirror Image, Angelic Aspect and etc.

I'm currently trying out a brown-fur transmuter Arcanist going into hellknight signifier. It's not as gish as Magus, but it has a lot more utility. I personally went with gladiator background for the weapon and buckler proficiencies and going strength over Dex, but I think Dex over strength might make for a better build.

Thanks for the vid. I wish you had gotten a bit more crunchy with the mechanics of each class that you liked. Like a simple "this is how they work and that is why I like them". For instance you said you really like the sword saint because they are a gish class... but didn't really get into why they are.

Inquisitor -> Monster Tactician with mythic talents that further buff your summons should be totally crazy

I can't help it, I just really love Bards. I love roleplaying as the charismatic wanderer turning their charm into leadership.

my favorite is magus eldritch scion, that class can do anything and its not only me big smash. The class can do literally anything and based on the situation you can use different spells, its really a fun class to play. My only completed playthrough of kingmaker is with an eldritch scion

I’m a simple man I love kung fu. It’s monk for me same as always. Though I’m thinking of running an oread student of stone monk this time for something a little different.

I wish there was one more level of BAB in pathfinder. A bard having the same BAB as an inquisitor doesn't sit right with me. I'd like it even if they had different BAB for certain archetypes, like a sword Saint having a slightly better BAB than a typical magus etc

I fell in love with the Sword Saint aswell. Pure SS is just amazing. Both tanky and dishing out solid damage. Gets the most usefull spells like mirror image and blurr/displacement, always has a way to deal damage that an enemy is weak to (fire/cold/electricity and more). Just so great. I also started to enjoy Druid (more specifically Defender of the True World) after a while. It takes some time to get going, and in Kingmaker, with the Thunderclaw of the Bear God, it was really funky. Hope we get to see a similar weapon in WotR. Paladin is also on the list as well rounded support class.Not amazing in terms of damage, also not the tankiest, but all those immunities for free is always nice. And Mark of Justice.... Swordlord funnily enough is on the list aswell. Multiclass hero so you can really dip into lots of great classes that give you many great things (Pala, Monk, Thug, and Aldori Defender on top of your Swordlord levels). Really flavorfull and almost no micromanagement at all. Get in there and whack stuff. Works great as a main for the persuasion checks.

It isn't a proper Mortismal Gaming video without at least 3 "moreovers", haha. In all seriousness I appreciate the stream of content, hopefully it leads to more folks discovering and enjoying cRPGs

Just sad Summoner was not possible it would have been my favourite, especially the synthesist because it sound fun as hell, getting a pet as your suit of power armor.

I can't wait to play the finished game. Was beta testing but I don't want to burn out on it. Sent a bunch of bug reports though, so hopefully that helped.

Barbarian 100%, beast totem with "come and get me"/taunting stance rage power. The most fun to play hands down.

Inquisitor is mah BOY! High skills for full exploration of gameplay narratives, versatile combat buffs/debuffs, so FUN.

1. Mystic Theurge 2. Mystic Theurge 3. Mystic Theurge 4. Mystic Theurge 5. Arcane Heirophant

My favorite is a dex based scaled fist/eldritch trickster. Because neither class can wear armor, they both get defensive mechanics in Cha to AC, mage armor, shield, blur, maybe an AC bracer if you can get one better than mage armor, mirror image. You become a super tank. Throw in flurry of blows with sneak attacks, and your damage keeps up well. Get crane style and dodge arrows from monk, you're damn near immune to missile attacks. Evasion from either class, diamond soul (I think) gives spell resistance, and magic is less effective. Still deciding on a mythic path. Prob either azata, legend, or gold dragon.

Thanks for discussing these classes because I'm really ignorant about many of the expanded classes in Pathfinder.

Playing a Sword Saint in my first playthrough, absolutely loving jt

Scald is a really interesting class a nice mix of Bard and Barbarian which turns your whole party into raging barbarians, while buffing them and being a great melee fighter even on unfair. I just breezed through whole game without feeling any resistance on Hard and it was a great fun.

My first character was an Elemental Engine (Kineticist). The damage output ended up being insane. Want to do around 380 damage to a single enemy each round? or maybe 200 damage a round to all entities in a 20 foot area? Bring the pain.

Currently I would say Slayer but with what I have seen previewed I am thinking Arcane Bloodline Bloodrider might be it.

I think i'm still be playing the old scaled fist with a stronk monk or a regular monk, cause winged riposte (i think its called, but the crane wing super mode) is just too good.

Build you have posted with 9 swordsaint, 10 duelist and 1 vivisectionist (but honestly scaled fist or swordlord works fine too) is ridiculously effective. Even full 20 primalist with 2 bloodlines is not as effective of cutting through everything.

Yeah the Kineticist is sick. It's great for the harder difficulties as it does so much damage. Both ST and AoE

Im the same way with Magus, I love it but only the Sword Saint. It's just by far the best subclass. I'm surprised you don't like alchemist since it's incredibly unique as well and also offers a lot of great buffing for the party.

Sword Saint Yesssss!!! That's awesome dude!!

I wonder if there is a way to combine Inquisitors's Tactics Bonuses with Summoned monsters and any other class to essentially become a "summoner that gives combat bonuses to their pets while casting support spells/healing"

At least in tabletop, I really like oracles, inquisitors and bard because they can be good at fighting if you want to go that way but it's not like fighting's their only good quality like a fighter or a barbarian. I remember my first character was an ifrit inquisitor and I had a lot of fun

My first toon so far is a level 12 element engine kineticist, pumps huge dps with a lot of different ways to play.

Interesting list. Neither of my two favorite Pathfinder classes (Bard and Rogue though I'm sure Inventor will join them once my tabletop group starts getting together again) made the list though my best friend's favorite class (Ranger) did make the cut,

Nice! I found your videos looking up kineticsist glad to see them on the list! Edit: and Magus! My first class in kingmaker!!

I made a (druid)Drovier x (Hunter)Divine Hound multiclass and it turned out much better than I have expected ! I'm riding a buffed up tripping armored wolf(with mythic beast M.power for universal dr bypass!) My very good boi even tripped that first Lich you see two times :) Casting those sweet nature buffs on people ( aspect of raptor gives everyone +20feet speed lol Chaaarge !) And for myself of course I'm enhancing my AC reducing shortbow with buffs and then with my Judgement of smiting(mythic;endless) ! Bam ! Somehow I made a divine archer tank speed freak nature dps build who can do ranged AoOpportunities and I'm loving it in the mid game that I'm in ! Woof !

Im not on top of everything from the game because i want little spoilers as possible , but im really hyped to play Dirge Bard / Trickster mythic path , i think is going to be a lot of fun ....

Always have to be some form of scholar, and so the Alchemist was my perfect pick.

My top 5 goes something like 1: Monk, 2: Monk, 3: Alchemist, 4: Rogue, 5: Monk

I approve of your favoritism towards Magus. Magus just scratches an itch I don't get from any similar ttrpgs with their Spellstrike/combat mechanics, and I live and die for dem Sword Saint crits and crazy dodge tanking, especially with Archmage Armor added in wotr. I played Sword Saint so much in Kingmaker I swore to play something else going into wotr but I found myself quickly reclassing back to it lol

Well i do really like cavalier class. Sure it has it,s drawback considering that charge ability sometimes can not work o while there is nothing blocking the way or the thing what to do when you miss ,but 2000 critical damage near the end of the game is kinda worth it (especially when you can fell yourself as a khight of the grail)

With the classes that are two classes mixed Paizo calls them Hybrid Classes too.

Kineticist is honestly one of the easiest and most op classes I have ever played. I always keep on in my party. Maximized Empowered Cloud and/or Deadly Earth Composite Blast will one shot massive groups of nearly any enemy except literal gods. Even The Lantern king could barely withstand 2 turns. Stack stealth and it is super easy to get the jump on nearly every encounter and obliterate everyone right off the bat or close too it. Plus they don't have any real limits like casters so you can do it every fight.

Any chance of suggested builds videos for the various mythic paths once able to cover them?

Thanks for the widdom

Surprised witch wasn’t on your list. This list mirrors mine almost perfectly. I’d switch blood rather for paladin as paladins are just solid, reliable damage dealers. That’s mechanics tho not class fantasy.

My top 5 would have to be: 1) Magus (Eldritch Scion and Sword being my favorite); 2) Inquisitor (agree with their concept); 3) Alchemist (Grenadier being amazing); 4) Eldritch Scoundrel (only Rogue I like, gotta have that pew pew casting); 5) Bloodrager would probably be my last pick.

Well I am torn between dragon sorcerer gish or just abusive fire/earth/water kineticist/thug for fear explosions everywhere (if it is still possible in wotr as it was in kingmaker).

I wish shikigami style was in this. Having a stick that does 4d6 damage at the height of the tree is awesome. Especially with vital strike

Sword Saint and kinetic knight give such fun gish type feels

Really good video. Can you keep making new videos of classes you already covered in beta?

I wish D&D Rangers were like Pathfinder rangers.

Magus is my fav to ! and not top 5, top 1 ! Also sword saind with rapiers or scimithars :D

Sword Saint is my fav as well.

I can't wait for this game

my favorites are Inquisitor, Ranger, Alchemist, Magus and Witch I like Rogue a lot but they're a little too 'vanilla' for me to consider a top five, and I should technically love Slayer but they sorta just feel like a tryhard hodgepodge of a bunch of classes without enough of a unique theme/identity or defining feature as far as favorite archetypes (in the sense of 'this caters to my preferences markedly more than the base class does') Archaeologist is pretty high for me, even if they're an objective downgrade. Bards are mechanically versatile, and I have a soft spot for jack-of-all-trades types. But while performances are great support buffs, 'I play music so good that it makes my friends better' is too silly for me to really want to play one (and I find a lot of the stereotypes regarding bards and those who roleplay them to be true). I don't thematically like charisma casters and I kinda wish archaeologists were INT based since... that'd make sense for an _archaeologist,_ but otherwise they fit into my desire to play 'buffer/disabler spellcaster who can also be stabby or shooty on the side' and I prefer spontaneous casting over prepping spells also, Sylvan Trickster because hexes are never not fun and it adds some flavor to rogue beyond the usual

inquisitor is the best class because they get the best hat

I'm so excited for WotR! Do you think you'll cover the update to Solasta that's coming out next week? It'll finally add the Sorcerer class, which I've been dying to play.

Hi - I'm a little late to the party here, I just found out about this game a couple days ago. Where can I find this character creator program?

I'm wondering if they have fixed the Sensei (Monk) class....

Big + for Magus it is top class :D for me Eldritch Scion is best suboption, and Inquisitor are more fanatical agents of gods they will do anything for their gods and his beliefs.

eldritch scion is still one of my favorite class a good mix of melee and magic

I think I will play Skald this time around.

I really liked the Arcane Smth Slayer. High BAB, sneak attack, "spells" - the best of all worlds. Best class for bonking people if you're not keen on the usual bonking classics.

Thanks bro

I get Magus - Armored Battlemage, and i thinking that if i get Legend Mythic path in future, what class could be good to cobine with that? (Bloodrager, Wizard, Alchemist?) Due to character i play i would like some buffs or strong spells and healing, he is basicaly combination of Aragorn and Gandalf in my mind (Half Elf noble from ancient kings line of long lost kingdom).

Do you play the pen and paper version of pathfinder at all? If you like the magus you should look up the 'Bladebound' archetype. You start with a self upgrading intelligent weapon with a set of powers of its own that you can actually converse with and it will have goals. It also has an ego score so it can try to control your actions if you try and deny it the chance to accomplish your goals. Luckily the rules are very specific that the weapon matches your alignment at ALL times so if you're playing your character right and don't do the whole 'I'm lawful good! Oh hey look a helpless merchant, let's off him and take all his stuff!' kind of thing the intelligence in your sword won't want anything that will go against your ethics, but that doesn't mean it will always be convenient. It's great roleplay and a lot of fun, provided you have a good GM of course.

I love kinetic knight it's basically worst spell melee class but I'm a sucker for role playing a fire wielding knight

Full 6 man monster tacticians.

agree on the kineticist one 😁

How many more new classes are there compared to kingmaker? Inquisitor, I don't think was in it right? It just sounds badass.

Make a playlist of the videos of all the class mechanics :)

What is the program/site/app you're using here?

Did they happen to add in any of the other kineticist elements? Aether and wood were always my favorites, but neither made it into Kingmaker

what class would be the best for a sorta death knight kinda lich? someone who could fight well in combat while still being able to cast the lich powers?... the main issue is that armor interferes with spellcasting in this game.. so I dont know how you could pull off a sorta hybrid fighter/spellcaster with the lich and still be viable with both. also... side note... but is there any way to get permanent regen/fast healing like the azata has while being a lich? I assume no... its just the azata with the fast healing was sooo OP that i cant imagine playing a character without it lol since spells have limited uses in this game.

Cant wait to play scared monk/ sword saint

maybe i like things to easy, but sylvan sorcerer for the win. Its to good

Pathfinder Kingmaker Definitive Edition is currently on PSN sale for PS4 $20

I read your channel as moisturizer gaming. I'm a bit flu-ish though.

I can't ever figure out these "kinda spellcaster, but also a bad melee class, but also the spells are bad" -classes. And playing kineticist requires a PhD.

Interesting perception of inquisitors. Always thought of them as religious fanatics who would stop at nothing to eradicate heresy or anything really that undermines their religion.

Does the beta include the full story?

Alchemist vivisectionist is a trusty go to class for me either for a dip or for main class, those mutagens are so amazing. :)

Any idea if the Blood Kineticist actually got blood-colored animations, or if it is just water?

Paladin! ❤😊❤

Does the Inquisitor Bane Weapon ability work correctly in the game?

War student. I’m a fan of the idea of the class not the mechanics which doesn’t always end well but this game seems to have a lot of forgiveness with the mythic system making up short falls. At this point though I may quit the beta and just hang out till release.

what is the difference between range and raged touch?

Gestalt class
