Season of Ghosts: Earth & Wood Kineticist level 8-12

-

Level 8

Class feat: Drifting Pollen. Yet another way to debuff enemies. Stacks with off-guard, which I can easily do by flanking, and frightened, which our swashbuckler and sorceress can do. This then increase the chance of critically succeeding in inflicting prone condition on them via some Impulses.

However, since affects all creatures within my aura, I will retrain Level 4's Tumbling Lumber to Safe Elements and retrain Level 5's Calcifying Sand to Tumbling Lumber. I'm getting rid of the Calcifying Sand because of its Overflow trait i.e. if triggered, it will stop my Kinetic Aura and so Drifting Pollen will disappear too. Since it will not be my turn (it's a Reaction), I cannot reactive my aura immediately thereafter.

Skill feat: Mortaling Healing. Increased potential healing from Treat Wounds.

Level 9 

Skill increase: Master in Athletics.

Ancestry Feat: Mountain's Stoutness. Increased tankiness and survivability.

Gate's Thresshold: Expand the Portal -> Earth Gate Junction: Aura Junction. This is to keep enemies from going away from my Drifting Pollen.

Expand the Portal Impulse feat: Spike skin. Increased tankiness and survivability of anyone in the party. Again, Dash of Herbs is an alternative, if it isn't taken earlier and it's needed to trigger the save againts one of the listed maladies.

Level 10 

Ability boost: Add to CON, WIS, DEX and CHA. Would have boosted STR, instead of DEX, if campaign goes to level 15 for the enxt ability boost.

Class feat: Aura Shaping. Increase the area of Drifting Poleen and Earth Gate Aura Junction.

Level 11 

Skill increase. Matters not which one. I choose to be Expert in either Nature or Religion, just to help party to Recall Knowledge, if needed.

General feat: Incredible Initiative. Never a bad feat to take. Also, going earlier increases the chance that enemies hit me first, rather than my less tanky teammates.

Level 12 

Class feat: Effortless Impulse. Free action to Sustain Sand Snatcher.

Skill feat: Depends on how the campaign has been going and what to expect in future, I'll consider Unusual Treatment, Robust Recovery or Titan Wrestler. If no idea, then pick Ward Medic.

 

General strategy during combat:

  1. Use Timber Sentinel to summon the tree protector around where melee teammates are engaging enemies.
  2. If there is more than 1 group of enemies, engage a separate group than the one melee teammates are engaging.
  3. Use various debuffs to immobilise, sicken, and inflict prone conditions on enemies. Use the Grapple or Trip action if warranted. If possible, keep enemies from approaching teammates, especially our sorceress and investigator.
  4. Heal self or teammates when needed, using Battle Medicine.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...
