Raising DC for Mythic Disintegrate help?


Advice

Dark Archive

I'm making an anti boss build Sorc using Mythic Disintegrate with Maximise spell, Empower Spell and the Channel Power Mythic ability to get 810 damage + 9 con damage/ray at 20th level. However I'm having trouble getting a good enough DC so far I have:
Spell focus (Greater, Mythic) and I'd like any other feats I could take (or items I could buy) to jack it up


If you're using that much metamagic on it already, consider taking Heighten Spell and Mythic Heighten Spell. The Mythic version, instead of being active metamagic, would just raise its level for DCs and the like to be the same as its level after Metamagic.


Just so you know, you'd still have to roll the dice for the Empowered part of the combo, my good sir.


Spell perfection will help you by doubling the feat bonuses. Favored enemy spellfocus will add another +1(+2) or +2(+4) if you can get a favored enemy.


Hmmm...it seems to me like what you need is...more metamagic!

Elemental Spell lets you get a +8 from Elemental Focus (Greater and Mythic) and Spell Perfection (which you should have anyway). The best part is that enemies have to save twice and take the lower result.

Persistent Spell can be very nice. Consider getting a rod of it at least. Consider what happens when you combine it with Mythic Elemental Focus.

How's he going get elemental focus to apply to disintegrate?


persistent spell is the easiest way to increase effective DC.

Otherwise, spell perfection and the two spell focuses help a bunch.

Finally, get your INT as high as possible.

Elemental Spell was explicitly pointed out there.

Could I use the Arcane Metamastery(Mythic adventures) ability to get a free +4 level with heighten spell as well?


You could, but that's silly.

Since you're already adding five levels of metamagic via Empowered and Maximize (I assume you have some sort of cost reducer on standby here), and you want a sixth level via Elemental Spell + various elemental shenanigans, I would point you toward Mythic Heighten Spell. What it does is raise a metamagic'd spell's level-- any metamagic, not just Heighten-- to whatever its final level is.

For example, you have Maximize Spell, Mythic Heighten Spell, and Disintegrate. You apply Maximize to Disintegrate. It is a 9th level spell for all purposes, including DCs, and gets maximized damage dice too.


Well then, consider my statement redacted. Was thinking that it needed the descriptor to benefit from the feat. I was also unaware that elemental spell worked with any damaging spell. Had it in my mind it worked like the old 3.5 one.

Over all I was wrong and that would work.

Is Mythic Heighten Spell 3pp? If so I can't use it.


... Apparently it is. Huh. I'd found it on the SRD one day and thought it was cool, and it was listed in with the other Mythic feats so I assumed it was Pazio. But apparently not.

My apologies for that one.

It's ok, I have Arcane Metamastery to take the slots down anyways.


I have a slightly similar problem, and I didn't really feel like making a new thread. How could I raise the DC for the Wolf Savage feat? I've read some other threads, and the general consensus seems to be that I can use Ability Focus on this sort of thing. But even with that, I couldn't find any way to get it higher than 17+wisdom at level 10.
