So, i'm actually arguing with someone about the fact that a eidolon is way better than a fighter in damage dealing. (he's the eidolon side)
At this point i'll really need a warrior build, not a build to play but just to demostrate the highster level of pure damage the class can do... the problem is i'm not a very good melee optimizer.
So i ask for help here, please can someone post me a "Pure damage" build for a warrior, archer or melee?
Thanks in advice for any help.
take all archery feats and all feats that increase archery damage. Spend money for all damage increasing items (DEX, STR, Gloves of Dueling, Bracers of Archery, Bow, etc.)
Damage still wont beat the eidolon when it comes to pure DPR (without DR).
There is actually a thread on this, and i think the eidolon came out on top, but there is a difference between a build that can win a DPR contest, and one that works in an actual game.
Why did you not choose the Falcata 15-20 X3 with improved critical?
1. It's 1 handed.
2. because I'm literally over half asleep
Edit: you can't get a 15-20 with a falcata it has an original threat range of 19-20. either that or its a typo in the website
Falcata are 19-20. I was mistaken, but being X3 they are the best DPR weapons, not that it makes much of a difference when you are doing 400 points of damage.
PS:They can also be used with two hands. The other weapon does have reach and trip. I think I will have to look into it. :)
Get an improved familiar homunculus, give him a nodachi and feats like combat reflexes, outflank, improved critical, seize the moment. Then use as a fighter yourself a nodachi and those feats, then flank and fullattack. Everytime the fighter gets a critical (with 5 attacks it should happen 1-2 times) the homunculus gets two attacks of opportunity. If its crits, the fighter gets back two AoOs. This can be accomplished only with someone who has many feats like the fighter class, so it may be considered in a 'contest'.
Or you can butterfly sting yourself after a nodachi critical from the homunculus and hit hard with the fighter's tetsubo, then quickdraw the nodachi to give your familiar the same possibility to do that.
Two handed fighter (archetype) is the way to go.
1. It's 1 handed.
2. because I'm literally over half asleep
Edit: you can't get a 15-20 with a falcata it has an original threat range of 19-20. either that or its a typo in the website

Why is that?
19-20 x3 weapon, keen -> x*3*0.2 = 0.6x
18-20 x2 weapon, keen -> x*2*0.3 = 0.6x
The falcata deal less base damage than the fauchard, so the latter is the best DPR weapon (and better for critical feats, but we are not considering those).
Other improvement suggested in the other thread were giant hide armor and the toothed trait for an additional bite attack.
15-20/x2 : DAMAGE*TOHIT*(1+0,3)
17-20/x3 : DAMAGE*TOHIT*(1+0,4)
x2 means: [regular hit] + [Crit%] * [regular hit], at 15-20 that is (1+0,3).
Archery has some of the Highest DPR in the game. Mostly because it starts full attacking ASAP. Rapid Shot and Many Shot help put more arrows down range. You also can start the fight from a greater distance away which is also safer.
If you do go with the Fighter class do not trade away Bravery or Weapon Training. Any archetype that does is strictly considered a downgrade now.
What an interesting little necro xD

In complete honesty, I have an unchained ancestors eidolon who outdamages any fighter I've ever come across, but he also has the fighter template so I don't know if that counts. XD But I personally still think that an eidolon would outdamage a fighter. Fighters are great, dont get me wrong, but they don't get as many attacks for nearly as good bonuses. Ability increases and Str/Dex bonuses make sure of that, even if your eidolon weilds weapons. (IE my own ancestors eidolon with a +2 Impact/Cruel Scythe. I did intimidate build for him with his fighter levels. But sadly, my rules for him are PFS restricted since he's a PFS character, so XD)
Did you say your eidolon has fighter class levels in pfs?
