Sure thing...besides the 2 I said were good for multiclass, Living Deity and Time Manipulator are the two best ones for pure 20 magic deceiver. Living Deity pure 20 is the strongest...cleric domain, pet basically.

@@ChanceOrangeGE Do they get domain spells or just powers? And then they scale off charisma?

@@noamto just powers - did not check though on stat scaling, as I typically pick domains that scale on class level rather than stat level ie animal etc

@@ChanceOrangeGE So you don't take the nature mystery then?

@@noamto depends...the AC stuff is bugged last I heard, but something like Friend to Animals is fine, but yeah

It is useful but not necessry - just like spell penetration on Deceiver. Because the way they work in merging is that they bypass resistances and immunities with clever merging of spells. This may get patched. But merging stinking cloud with say fireball completely bypasses enemies immunities at this point in time.THE MERGED SPELLS BYPASS THE RESISTANCEE and IMMUNITY PROPERTIS OF THE UNDERLYING SPELLS -EXCEPT FOR DAMAGE TYPE ie Fire, Cold etc

Also Corruptor is only mainly useeful first half of the game specifically for stinking cloud. Unless you are a mage with a lot of Disease spells it makes little sense to take now. Later spells like Phantasmal Web don't even need it to work.

thankfully these mofos don't sense invisibility unlike Eustoriax who straight up could not be caught flat-footed except by ranged attacker

you can multiclass yes. And you cannot fuse multiclassed spells. Licing deity dceiver is pretty great too but wants to stay pure 20 dceiver. The others don't care as much about level 20 ability they get.Anyways have fun, one exception to that fusion rule is dragon Disciple pretige that does add a few spells to your spell book - BUT - since this is a recent class for all I know those splls may not qualify for fusion either.

I turn of XP sharing until I hit the ambush Gargoyle attack later in act 2 ... and also run 4/5 man comps early game in some areas. Even then I usually only hit level 8 party heading into Leper's Smile. So I was wasting time on the world map fishing for random encounters I could beat. so actually doing a bunch of random encounters you can get it early Act 2 if you want. Normally I'd head into Leper's smile without hearth but the queen there would need hearth or a true strike infusion alchemist which is finicky (though Woljif did that for me on some runs)

On this particular run since I need Sosiel it has also meant taking him with me of course into every areas in Act 2 once I get him...which is not bad, as a cleric even he is very strong for party buffs

I see. Indeed random encounters in Act2 woulr be necessary to reach lv8 before Leper's Smile. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, Crusader or Sanctified Slayer (as I am doing on this run) - i think offense on Sanctified Slayer is somewhat better than on cleric. Either way, there is no need to go to zen Archer 3 anymore because with buffs/ polymorph his Dex is higher than his Wisdom anyways. NOTE: Archers really like Inquisitor bane / sneak attacks because there is no crusader's edge for ranged weapons

If your priority is Domains just go Separatist on him and get Community or Madness immediately and the other on later via impossible domain...or as I said Sanctified Slayer is still probably the best mix of archery damage and some enchantments/ 1 impactful domain like community or madness

@@ChanceOrangeGE Thanks for the response. Do you intend to go angel with your MC?

@@omgopet yes ... since this is "boosted" unfair where I can justify doing that OP merge. I contemplated doing Winter Child Drood, but chose Fey because Charisma or Int is still meta for casters because court poets exist.

@@ChanceOrangeGE Yea, court poet is the reason I'm contemplating this one (or oracle) over shaman/cleric. Is it really worth it going caster angel, though? In the end, the bonus spells from angel spellbook end up being good on their own without (almost) any spellcasting feat/item support... Sorry for all the questions, I'm planning to start my first unfair run this weekend and want to map everything out. My plan was to go either wildland shaman (maybe some loremaster or late game dips) or that vital strike rowdy/shadow shaman/loremaster build. I want to whack everything with weapons and use angel spells for nuking crowds. Would that be much worse than just oracle?

Yeah if you are Lich you don't care about Con. Does not do anything for you beyond really early game. PS: If you are a really experienced player on a Lich I would not start with more than 10-12 Con honestly for the whole game and just relly on con belt/ master shapeshifter to get Con to a reasonable level until Full Lich.

Is this hybrid build stronger than shifter bloodseeker? Feel like if you want to cast just use do EK build. At least with shifter you take advantage of the bite

@@Silversker The bites should be just nice boni. You are getting 2x here, with motherless can be 3, with wold scared 4x. (Not recommended to go wolf-scared because of 10% casting failure though) A good two-handed weapon like fauchard will or greatsword always outdamage them. And you want some spellcasting - most importantly mirror image and mage armor to get some defenses up. If with Lich build the spellcasting component becomes even stronger. No room for shifter in there. With a merge the most you have space for is dropping some AT and going a bit deeper into bloodseeker ,

Yeah it is a VOIDBORN background exclusive. Hence I stated at start in the build Crimelord - Voidborn. If you mess around with Toybox I am pretty sure there's an option to change if you don't want a new character start.

@@ChanceOrangeGE I tried, I can’t change the homeworld with Toybox, or I’m too dumb too find it.

@@ssj3rd last time I tried which was a long time ago it was when you do a complete respc in toybox of your toon...you can recreate the character from level 0

I think force swords fall off late they are good midgame but get outscaled by end game power weapons

@@ChanceOrangeGE thanks for the heads up, ive never actually made it to lategame. but my plan is to use the sword of faith momentum ability (which counts as a force sword) in the lategame.

I think that sword of faith is good but you need specific gear for that build - eyes of joyesse and you need to be DOGMATIC for the buffs

@@ChanceOrangeGE nice im going dogmatic. im at the start of act 2 its going well

was my first blind run of the game and I was taking on Arena stage 2 underleveled. - for an update after a second run of the game the refind team is this: th-cam.com/video/GpyoNsuubhg/w-d-xo.html

This was probably made before hirelings were known to be so useful, thank you this comment confirmed my thoughts. I’m on my first play through

It's nice gladior main aoe nuke weakness is vs flying as they don't dal anything to fliers....but for that I have separate teams with aoe arrow rain snipers

thx man, hope you enjoy the game and try stuff out. overall I like making a dps protagonist instead of support because faythe is very good at utility. strongest thing I had so far was some form of dodge this! gunner with smgs or shotties. But I completed game solo as a Fast Runner with shotties though runner is generally better with either melee or SMGs. Mastermind/ Rifling is probably the most all-round kit for doing everything

this. exactly. i was thrashing in char creation screen trying to glue everything together. the breakpoints for 8-pointed feats after overclocking is gold.

Precious Rod is a great healing staff indeed...it should be honorable mention as 20 to 25 base healing. I think it shines well if you are making a high initiative featherstaff cleric who can get the overheal off quick. I would put that unit in a high initiative swordmaster glassy squad though lol to make them more tanky.

Forgeworld - locomotion system. Pretty but the best selection for any agility tank

​@@ChanceOrangeGE Thanks for the quick answer and the build itself looks really great! Im eager to try it out. :)

Thanks! You can run Virginia and Leah frontline here instead of the werewolf and travis. Or Virginia/ Miriam frontline. I just feel Travis and the werewolf or Gilbert round out this team core better. I can see Virginia paired well with a breaker and a landknecht though and a Viking. she wants to be on a team where the enemy can still attack you.

It's him or Gilbert as both provide useful physical buffs. Gilbert is of course the better unit but you may want him on a different primary squad as he pretty much boosts not only physical.

Voidborn, crimelord, illustrious glory, shadow of torment, 35/40/25/30(35 tough), 40agi, 45 (40int), 35 per, 35 wil, 30fel. I am confortable dropping tough to 30 and raising int to 45 otherwise go 35 tough and int 40 int for easier earlygame

Yes it applies a dot. It's not needed IMO on the rifle build especially tactician though because in general, a rapid-fire burst attack already kills everything. I think sanctic, pyro or diviner (in case of crimelord for int/per) is better.

sure...what you are describing is the officer-tactician build which is a very strong psyker....but in all likelihood, you want to START as sanctioned psyker sanctic that way for the eyes of joyesse. I was going for a weapon build here with soldier. Sure you can play crimelord officer-tactician too...but by the time you reach peak power with late psy talents the game is kinda over by that point

I did any "changes" I feel optimal in the texted build. Prescience may be of higher prior than enfeeble. Taking It will not die before Aurora fight. Maybe take Biophysical disotretion at Warrior 13 and Psalm of Heroes at Vanguard 2. Basically have It will not Die and Biophysical before Aurora fight basically. When you get Eyes of Joyesse he ramps up and becomes as good as Idira.

@@ChanceOrangeGE I never understand why the skill that gives luck, makes the first crit, a normal hit isn't included in any builds. It's a lifesaver early on unfair.

@@MosCraciun777 I guess you can take that one instead of "Predicted Downfall" which works kinda similarly. Early on things are kinda packed. I guess you can fit that stuff in earlier if you want for Aurora fight because stuff like crowdkill/desolation will only ramp up late game anyways.

Yeah like the only guns you get that compete come at the end of the game. Like maybe Unhallowed Bellow/ let them weep. I swear they probably miscalculated something and gave that weapon more base damage than intended....but hey use it as it is like a top 3 gun in the game at the moment.

There are still some bugs in Act 4 that can end your run. I play with toybox installed for that reason....to mark/ progress quests in case something fails. But game is "completeable' ... just some quests of some companions may not resolve

I play on highest difficulty...unfair I believe? but the game becomes easy after chapter 1 and early chapter 2 really. by act 4 you generally kill every encounter first round.

Yes it does. assassin just uses blades...can get to higher single target dps somewhat faster, while militant is more versatile and has better (over the top) defenses with cautious approach. There is a bit more nuance involved in playing assassin than militant but I outline the abilities well and the items in the completed warrior/assassin build guide.

@@ChanceOrangeGE Advise me on something please: I'm only level 20 something on hard. I don't have a lot of time to play. I want to read everything cause I heard the story is good. ATM I have an commisar officer. The advantage is that I can learn all the companions since he is a support but I don't like it cause ussually I was the main dd. In the end I want to play all 3 convictions. I heard heretic is bugged so I am kepping it for last and thinking of using this build th-cam.com/video/F2Jm_-29lCQ/w-d-xo.html That's 1. 2nd: My favorite is Fortress World Soldier Arch-Militant Pyromancer/Telepath. All the Soldier and Arch Militant abilities work with Psyker Powers, so I'm casting 4+ times a turn and the Pyromancer Telepath combo means I usually clear encounters within one turn on Unfair. Pain Channeling plus Backdraft and Aftershock, with Psychic Barrage converting my BS into raw damage, lets me hit a group of weak enemies with a Lightning Arc and the excess damage of each of their deaths kills a ton of other enemies. In several encounters I've ended the battle with LITERALLY a single attack. On unfair. This seems good too but he is range and glass cannon, maybe restart and play with him on iconoclast. and ofc your build on dogmatic. I want to restart my current run and play unfair from the start. There are two more builds but they are simmilar: www.neoseeker.com/warhammer-40000-rogue-trader/builds/Arch-Militant this is like yours only arch militant and another archmilitant who uses heavy weapons more. In case you read it till now, what would you advise me to do ? Thank you in advance

@@ChanceOrangeGE Or the last option: continue my game with the officer on hard, enjoy it and then choose two builds for dogmatic and heretic. I would like to restart dogmatic since I read that it's the least buggy

@@MosCraciun777 sure thing: sactioned psyker officer/ master tactician is a thing on Dogmatic (rank4/5) dogmatic gives you helm to scale damage as sanctioned sanctic psyker. Pyromancer like my build is fine on dogmatic too because you get boost to fire damage...then again a physical unit like assassin works great as heretic too because at heretic 4 you get +20 to all stats per encounter. as for iconoclast I think best would be party support because iconoclast high tier ability lends itself to it. In general neoseeker builds are great...make game easier. arche militant pretty broken right now. When I post a build I try to find something strong but a bit different. Right now I am playing on an alt playthrough crime lord gunslinger (soldier - tactician) / high int voidborn -> be smart. It's not quite the powerhouse of assassin or militant but interesting for big alpha hits nonetheless. cheers. The thing with psykers I find I that they start out weak before mid 30s on unfair...you are leaning on a strong starting class like warrior (deeps) or officer (support) or I guess soldier (deeps) before you get psy things going.

(Asking because you don't seem to have a link in your info.)

What I can say is that it is very replayable in terms of gameplay choices - like you can do combat heavy playthrough but even there there are lots of choices to discover - which weapons and starting builds to use(there are at least 5 variants with a "master" feat you can only take on character creation based on if and which of your starting attributes you pumped all the way to max (10). - I have perception 10 on this playthrough for instance. Then there is how many party members you play with - you can go solo or take up to an additional 3 companions - and that changes battle dynamics. Lastly, you don't even have to do a playthrough where you fight, you can do the whole game via stealth and diplomacy/ speech. So gameplay is varied, but I have to say falls off a bit is that while there are very real choices and branches in the game - I do not think they matter that much or are as impactful to change the feel of a playthrough as the above gameplay decisions I mentioned. Like the studios priveious game (Age of Decadence) had vastly different gameplay experiences based on character creation choices. This one is more story streamlined though. It has something of Shadowrun to it in terms of feel though.

@@ChanceOrangeGE I didn't enjoy Shadowrun much... mostly because of its lack of NG+ or post-game content. The game was rather short to me, only taking about 5 hours to complete, and I'm one of those people who go through the full game collecting things and exploring.

no

That sucks. Because my returning pipe keeps disappearing.

I ended up using attacks on her that she don't counterhit - like 4-range byleth siege mage sage Ivy and all my engage attacks.

I am well aware of that ;) - she was so tanky most engage attacks would not kill her as houses unite there was barely scratching her. she was also very dangerous in dealing damage so I had to set up a one round or loose a unit as it was ironman
