BaB is actually only 1 behind a 3/4 BaB class. That, and I find a +14-15 hit bonus is usually enough to hit regularly in high-level PFS, unless against a high-AC creature.

If you go with fumeiyoshi, destruction and repose are both solid choices.
Inflict spells are not great, but it's not that big of a problem. Channel is a non issue as you should never channel on a warpriest. Literally anything that is not a swift action spell is a waste of fervor, with the possible exception of smite if you take that archetype.
Not sure I see the glory of the Repose blessing. It requires a touch attack to stagger something for 1 round or 2 rounds to an undead if I have 14wis. The 10th level ability is pretty much a wash. Can you deliver a blessing as part of a melee attack? Some of the blessings mention that if you hit someone you can use your blessing as a swift action on them but the Repose blessing doesn't mention that from what I can tell.

Repose + a conductive weapon is when it gets really good.
Blessings section on Warpriest is very vague. I don't see it say anywhere that the abilities are Spell-like or Supernatural. Can anyone share or list where it says Blessings can be used through Conductive weapons?
My local area is pretty uptight with "if it doesn't specifically say it via RAW or FAQ then it's not possible." In the past they've said that attaching an item to a rope is not possible as it's considered "crafting" and that you can't switch the rope out of a Rope Dart for silk/etc rope or pay the material cost of Darkleaf to have stronger rope on it. So you can see how I'd be a little concerned on using something unless I have something RAW wise that enables me.
Blessings (Su) in the class description seems pretty clear that it's supernatural. Conductive works with a 'supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack'. I don't see what room there is to argue these.
Can't attach an item to a rope ... some people are crazy.

Thanks! I completely missed that as I was looking at the Blessings section at the bottom and the abilities they gave which just have (minor) and (major) listed next to them. Appreciate your help there; I just wanted to make sure I had it 100% straight before sitting down at a PFS table.
and yeah, I know. I'm playing a character with a rope dart and hopefully no one ever sunders my rope on it because that's 1 easy way to break someone's weapon fast. I don't think they would...but not being able to pay the cost for different rope (silk, etc) or spend the material cost for Darkleaf is just silly. But I have to abide by their decisions as it was 3-4 of the main GM's at my local area that agreed that the Rope Dart says Rope and rope is hemp by default and Darkleaf doesn't specifically say it can be made as rope (yet it seems pretty obvious it can be) and that the silk rope, etc are all adventuring gear and alchemical items which aren't allowed to be combined to a weapon as that would be crafting... Sometimes them's the ropes, heh.

Oh, wow. I completely missed some other Deities with reach weapons.
Tsukiyo, Argueros, Keltheald, and Olheon
Anyone care to comment on:
Darkness Blessing? Tsukiyo
Luck Blessing? Tsukiyo
War Blessing? Arqueros
Sun Blessing? Keltheald
Travel Blessing? Keltheald
I know I'm listing a bunch of blessings here but just wondering which ones are generally the best choices. Listing each deity for them as I'm able to take 2 blessings. What Deity/Blessings would you take?
