Two Handed Warpriest

[KelCJ]

Hello everyone!

First time posting and in need of some help figuring out good feats for my Warpriest. I've searched the forums thus far and have only found the undone guide -which while good - doesn't help my particular situation. I made the priest before I saw it and went down the TH road seeing as at the time that made the most sense (it also seemed cool). It's the first time I've played it and the first time ill be playing to twenty so I'm a little out of my league here. Any help would be very appreciated!

So my group and I are playing the wrath of the righteous campaign and have just hit Mythic their three. Theyve allowed me to swap out some feats to because they're awesome and I'm not sure what to pick.

Here's my set up thus far:

Race:
Level 9 Half Orc warpriest

Str 22
Dex 12
Con 14
Int 10
Wis 14
Cha 8

Weapon: +1 adamantium great sword

Current feats:
weapon focus great sword
Weapon specialization great sword
Vital strike
Improved initiative
Endurance
(4 empty feat spots)

Mythic tier 3

Feats:
Mythic power attack
Mythic vital strike
One more not yet chosen.

They probably wouldn't mind if I swap out vital strike though I like it because of the big damage you can do on that first turn when you have to move to get into position and can't make a full attack action.

Well considering you have

This build is probably superior to literally everything else you could possibly do. Most builds do not have access to such an absurd feat.

I strongly recommend step up and strike (the chain), finishing the Vital strike line (With MVS!), and you should be spectacular. Although see if you can retrain out of endurance. Furious focus and weapon of the chosen lines are also incredible when you have access to Mythic vital strike . Admittedly I never thought a GM would be insane enough to permit it at a table in my guide.

Truthfully, this is our first time doing a mythic campaign (and the first one we've done in over a year) and we're starting to figure out how absurd out damage output is becoming (and how absurd mythic characters are in general). That's probably the only reason we're allowing it.

And rereading what the feat does is making me realize how badly I've been misusing it...or not using it.

I could try retraining endurance, but since it came with the Half Orc I get the sense I'm going to be stuck with it.

I'll definitely have to get a piece of gear to let me finish the chain of step up and strike since that seems pretty awesome.

Thank you for your help, I've got a better sense of where I need to go now as compared to before, especially since I read that vital strike was a bit of a trap feat.

Vital strike IS a trap feat. Mythic Vital strike out damages spirited charge when you have GVS.

You don't list Power Attack among your feats, which is the prerequisite for Mythic Power Attack. I'd suggest picking it up.

Vital Strike is only a trap feat if you are operating under the assumption you are constantly hasted. If you're not, and can roll twice to increase your crit chances with greater weapon of the chosen on a big damage die weapon, it is roughly equal to a full attack from a warpriest due to being able to take the next feat in the vital strike chain sooner than you would have access to the next iterative attack.

If you are hasted, the full attack is better, but vital strike still has better mobility.

That said, Mythic Vital Strike is a much more powerful thing than a standard vial strike, and is perfectly fine if it's allowed.

Actually vital strike falls behind at 8th and never catches up.

Mythic vital strike due to always being full BAB has a MUCH higher DPR than most builds.
