For anyone curious, a patch made it to where you can't get greater command at level 10 for loremaster, so just swap level 10 and 11

Thanks for another fun and creative build! It's amazing seeing what someone can do with such encyclopaedic knowledge of this game, I am *only* 450 hours in and yet I still find this channel to be such a treasure trove of information.

[kiratt]

I was watching it for DC 55, but the most important thing I have learned today is that mind blank protects against true seeing :) Thanks for the guide! BTW I went for a similar build before and I choose Insect swarm as lvl 7 druid secret that helps some specific unfair encounters a lot.

[Radeo]

If anyone is wondering why the "most replayed" part of this video is what it is, it's because so many people would have tried to figure out what the heck happened between editing cuts in order for "Greater Command" to actually appear on the screen.

By either bug or deliberate change, you now have to have unlocked that spell's level before you can use Loremaster to get it, which means you cannot get Greater Command at lvl 10.

[Vrouph]

this is the 4th video i watch ty dude I finished wotr and kingmaker twice and was looking for something like your explainations.

[dust]

I tried this build out and largely love it.
I just found myself basically never using Greater Command and ended up swapping it for Selective Winters Grasp and Selective Sirocco
Sirocco was landing knockdowns even late game
But I also found myself using persistent fire AOEs in general.
Gave me a great template to start with and had a lot of fun with it!
Cheers

[Ren-]

Haha. I love the part with the sermon making everyone listen to her. ^^
GJ man. : D

[zyfryth]

Easily the best builds channel for WotR on the internet :) Btw this Ember idea would work great with my transmutation focus primal druid, who is also a lore master. I steal wizzard spell slow and trust me it is really fun to go with selective dif terrain thorns spell (you open with that) and then you cast slow which is also transmutation spell and enemies are almost non-moving at all, making your trigger happy Arueshalae truly happy. Now throw in that Ember there and it will be a massacre 😅😅

[blknman]

Hey i just wanted to say u have the best in depth Pathfinder videos out there. I was looking for a Warpriest class breakdown and ur video is by far the best.

[whatsupbrooos]

Hey, a grand video as always! And what an unusual way to build Ember with a focus on crowd control with "Enchantment" spells! Thanks for what you are doing, man, your guides are the best source of inspiration for my builds as well!
I had sort of a similar build for Daeran in my first walkthrough, seemed a bit more accurate lore-wise (and Daeran has natural access to both "Greater Command" and "Overwhelming Presence" as an Oracle).
Also, just for the record, the Skald class gets access to "Overwhelming Presence" and "Euphoric Tranquility" as level 6 spells as early as on 16th level, in addition to "Cacophnous Call, Mass" as level 5 spell already on 13th level, which is mechanically similar to the "Greater Command" spell, but those affected cannot evade the nauseated effect with a repeated Will save each round.

[yaroslavs]

For rings there is a Ring of Pyromania that you've missed and for belts there is a Mallander's Insult belt, both of these are very easily accessible and make Scorching Ray into a very powerful ability until you reach the Hellfire-Ray-Oneshot state as both of these items trigger additional damage to all rays in a spell independently, so 3 rays = 3 procs of each item, which makes every Scorching Ray from 4d6 to 4d6+3d6 and this is very useful through early and mid game. And usually this additional damage is a big deal even in mid game when you fire two fireballs(1 swift 1 normal) and oneshot all the mediocre enemies in one turn

[apex]

so i have to change level 10 with 11 huh?

Find traps, Heroism(Because the spell level of "cure serial wounds" went up from 3 to 4, couldn't choose it for now)
Cure serial wounds OR greater False life, Feeble mind

[Seelenverheizer]

really great build, prob the best Ember one i have ever seen

[thenephz]

Thanks for all the guides mate, learned a lot about the game just by watching your content. Any chance we're still getting the updated Ember guide? Would love to see how you change them. Best of luck!

[midori]

Can't wait for the other companions builds. Thanks!!

[debuyarou]

Your videos about pathfinder WOTR are priceless! Too bad that there si no similar content creator for kingmaker also. What I really love about your videos is principles about what party need to have so if someone what to change something but follow them he will be fine.

[janverfaillie]

There's a bug in the game that makes it so you can't select level 5 spells for your secret at level 10. You can just swap level 10/11 progression around.
