and can start giving all your companions +6 to their stats. At level 4 this class truly starts to shine as you unlock all the direct attribute buffs like bulls strength, cats grace, eagles splendour etc. The Stacking Bonuses Of The Brown Fur Arcanistīrown fur arcanists can cast transmutation spells with range personal on their allies and can improve all of the attribute bonuses associated with spells by 2, this is huge. You need 6 levels in shaman to get access to all these hexes, 4 would be better but as of now you can’t use a mythic ability to get a new shaman hex, only witch hexes. This is the holy trinity, just by having these hexes in the party you get two rolls on every dice, and in the best case scenario making your tank take 1/20th of the damage they were taking before. If you are diligent and cackle long enough for the buffs to last the entire time you are in the area then you will have these potent buffs forever. This means that when entering an area you can apply fortune and protective luck to the entire party and then start cackling where the amount of time you spend cackling will be how long the buffs last. Cackle extends both of these hexes by a round and can be used twice a round. These buffs are offset by the fact they only last for one round and that fortune only works once a day but this is offset by cackle. This raises the mean dice roll from 10.5 to around 15 and furthermore doubles the amount of nat 20s you will score and is one of the strongest offensive and defensive buffs in the game. On it’s own this is enough to turn your tank from formidable to invincible.įortune is equally powerful with two rolls for every saving throw two rolls for every attack two rolls for every skill check two rolls for every combat manoeuvre. If your main is tanking such that the enemy must roll a 20 to get in a hit then with protective luck the enemy must now roll two 20’s in a row which means that they now get hit 20 times less often and will on average tank 400 attacks until a hit gets through. The power of these hexes cannot be understated. Fortune is the opposite and allows an ally to roll twice and take the better result on all d20 dice rolls. Protective luck makes it so that whenever an ally is attacked the enemy must roll twice and take the worse result. The holy trinity of hexes that we use are “protective luck”, “fortune” and “cackle”. A table of exactly what to pick will be provided if you’d rather just copy it but this is by no means necessary. This is not a strict rigid build guide, it sticks only to what is needed to bring the goal of being your parties one size fits all buff-bot while leaving feat and mythic choices to personal taste. Witch will provide the holy trinity of hexes while brown fur arcanist will enable some truly broken buffing.įirst we will discuss what this holy trinity of hexes is and why it is so important for someone in the party to have them and then we will move on to the brown fur arcanist. We do this by combining witch with brown fur transmuter. It enables a more diverse party by condensing the best pre-buffing power available into one character. This build revolves around investing enough into witch to unlock what I term “The holy trinity” of hexes along side the ability to share powerful transmutation spells with allies that no other build could.
The Stacking Bonuses Of The Brown Fur Arcanist.So far I have Inspire Courage, Good Hope, and Haste. Originally posted by KrzyWasabi:Buffs have made combat a LOT easier so I'm trying to stack as much as possible. My evil party are more often selfish dps oriented or use personal buff like false life or divine favor or shield of faith. My good party have almost always a dedicated mass long term spellcaster and a bard who specialise in short term party buff. See invisibility communal, Protection from arrow communal can be good long term buff. Alot of Aoe spell are fire so you can safely throw fireball or breath with those spell on. Monster use alot fire so I often go for fire and you can always cast another energy type if you encounter them. The thing for spell like resist energy or protection from alignement will only let you choose one kind. That can be optimal buff and you may need lot of second caster like Cleric and a Paladin so it depend mostly of the group I use.Īll the communal spell and all the spell who have over 10 minute length are to be consider.
I use longer buff when enter a new dungeon or area with extend metamagic. I often use bless, prayer and rage on top of those. The buff you list are mostly for just one or two encounter.
