I need help with suggestions for my Arcane Bloodrager’s feats. I’m new at pathfinder.
I’ve played this character for three sessions and really love him. Originally, when creating him and having some helpful input from this forum, I was thinking about following the cleave feat line. But after 15 hours of game play I’m finding that I’m never able to use cleave and don’t want to waste a bunch of feat slots on something I’ll never use.
Also I was considering going the Beast totem route, but I hate losing my 4th level Arcane Blooline powers especially Blur and Protection from arrows to get lesser beast totem and some stupid claws that I’ll never use. I mean I won’t get the payoff until 12th level when I get greater beast totem and get pounce. I’d like people to weigh in and let me know if it is worth it.
Here are my stats:
St 18, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 14
I’m using a Greatsword
Here are my specific questions: I want to put out a lot of damage. Would there be anything that would be better than Lvl 1 Cleave, Lvl 3 Cleaving Finish, Lvl 5 Greater Cleave, Lvl 7 Improve Cleave finish. For some of the low level feats I’m having a hard time finding replacement. Would love suggestions.
Is swapping out my 4th level Bloodline powers to start the beast totem rage line worth it?
I really like the idea or cornugon smash and hurtful. Or if you have any other Intimidation builds that may be interesting.
Or any other feat suggestions in general, please suggest. I’m new to all these feats.
I’ve only turned 2nd level and I can switch anything out. Here is what I have so far:
Lvl1 Power Attack, Bonus Human Feat: Cleave (??? Should I keep or change), Dropped Bloodline power Disruptive for Arcane Familiar (sage Familiar and get +4 Initiative)
Lvl2
Lvl3 Advancement Feat -- Cleaving Finish (Something different maybe hurtful ???)
Lvl4 Bloodline power --Arcane Blood Rage (Blur, protection from arrows etc.) or should I go Lesser Beast totem????
Lvl5 Advancement Feat --Great Cleave (???? or something else)
Lvl6 Bloodline Feat: Disruptive
Lvl7 Advancement Feat -- Improved Cleaving Finish (Or something different???)
Lvl8 Greater Arcane Blood rage (Haste or displacement)
Lvl9 Advancement Feat - Cornugon Smash, Bloodline Feat: Combat Reflexes
Lvl10
Lvl11 Advancement Feat -- Improved Critical
Lvl12 Bloodline --Switch out Caster Scourge for something else maybe --Beast Totem, Greater Beast Totem, Bloodline Feat: Spellbreaker
Lvl13 Advancement Feat -- Critical Focus
Lvl14
Lvl15 Advancement Feat – Vital Strike, Bloodline Feat: Iron Will
Lvl16 Blood Line -- Keep True Arcane Bloodrage (???? I like the idea of turning into a dragon but DPS wise would I do more damage with sword and different feats???)
Lvl17 Advancement Feat Improved Vital Strike
LVL 18
LvL 19 Advancement Feat – Greater Vital Strike
