What's the element most commonly resisted by enemies? I know through the game you're going to be fighting a ton of demons, and assumed they'd have fire resistance. I just really don't know what the types of different enemies are resistant to in Pathfinder.

From what I have seen, most of the demons are immune to electricity and only partially resistant to other various elements, so you can take the ascended element mythic perk, to negate that, and chain lighting everything as normal. The hardest fights just have high resists/defense to everything outside of touch attacks and holy (Angel nukes were the only way I won a few fights).

You can also take selective spell with fireball and sirocco to AoE everything, but it will cost an extra spell level (unless you use favorite metamagic mythic perk to make it free).

Edit: Hardly ever use poison or cold attacks, so can't attest to those.

Demons are all immune to lightning and poison, and most everything else has resistance to SOMETHING, so casters need to grab one of the mythic elements in order to get through that

I've seen a good bit of electricity and poison immune?

Demons in pathfinder are poison and electric immune but there is a mythic feat to ignore immunities and DR to a single element.

Ya I just got the ascendant fire one. Saves me a couple feats for spell penetration on the wizard. Real nice.

Couldn't really see the benefit of mythic weapon finesse, seems like it was the same as weapon finesse? Maybe it worked on a broader type of weapons, idk.

Just so you know, the ascendant elements is NOT spell penetration. Spell resistance is NOT element resistance.

When you cast a spell you first need to overcome the target's spell resistance. If you do, you then need to go through the target's element resistance, if they have any. The ascendant elements feat just means that the target's ELEMENT resistance is nullified. So chain lightning will still hurt a demon IF you overcome their spell resistance.

And THEN you also have to overcome their reflex/fortitude/will save to deal any meaningful damage.

Ya if they take a reflex (usually) or fort its half damage. Prevents a lot of aoe bombard cheese to trivialize everything I guess.

Clearly you are not abusing the ancient powers of tripping enough to defeat the Demons of the Abyss.

Having a pet with 3x attacks a round that trips everything constantly is some lol shit.

Like 90% of mobs are poison immune. Don't bother.

In Pathfinder an Oracle is a much better 'cleric' than an actual Cleric by leaps and bounds. Doubly so if you have extra mystery or other things like the ruby ring that give you additional spells.

So much of the Cleric spell list are 'in case of...' that you end up prepping lots of crap that you might need whereas the Oracle with that as one of their spells is locked and loaded at all times. After Lann, Daeran is becoming my second MVP lobbing health and death in equal measure, especially with Mythic levels providing ludicrous numbers of spell slots.

I killed some lvl 20 melee demon at lvl 7 and proudly exclaimed I have beat this game already.

Then I met a lvl 16 cleric ghost and his friend at some spooky old house. Changed my mind real quick.

I don't mind Daeran, but that's precisely why I don't have Nenio or whatever his/her/their name is.
