Find someone who loves you as much as CRPGBro loves initiative 😊

23:45 Wounds having that meaning is not just Rogue Trader, it's a Warhammer thing in general (also in Fantasy and not just 40K)

You really are the G.O.A.T. Your videos taught me how to make characters for WOTR, and now I have a grasp on Rogue Trader. Wonderful Video!

Thank you for posting this video. Very insightful. It can be a bit overwhelming trying to choose the proper custom character build. You have given me a lot to think about. I know I want my MC to be an officer, but still struggling to choose the best path for World, etc etc.

Agility also increases your move distance. 30 agility would give +3 move whereas 40 agility would give +4. In short move distance is "base move + agility bonus". At least it was in alpha and beta. You got the Fellowship and Intelligence switched around in the "Be Smart" Voidborn section. It is substitute Fellowship in talents and abilities with Intelligence. So you could make an Int based Officer as an example.

And there it goes, a new series. Keep up the good work mate. Anyway, did you enjoy this game ?

For the Voidborn's Be Smart ability, I think you got it backwards, It allows you to use Intelligence for Fellowship Abilities and Talents.

As someone who doesn't really play crpg's but bought the game anyway because I really love warhammer, this is exactly what i needed!

Summary Execution requires the Commissar to land the killing blow but the Commissar will not get any bonuses from At All Costs if he kills the target so it isn't allowing more uses, it is a refund mechanic in case your Commissar gets the killing blow instead of an ally.

Officer is the new Skald lol

Strangely enough, this is the first CRPG with lots of options I've played in a long time where I don't feel like I even need to fully respec a character. Like, it's a pretty damn flexible system, just like 40k TTRPGs, so Officer/Sanctioned psyker is basically something I'll never regret picking. You can learn new psychic discipline paths whenever you get to pick abilities so you can switch the combination out by respecing talents. Meanwhile, games like Pillars of Eternity, Wrath of the Righteous and so on are games where solid 60% of all my game time is spent replaying Act 1.

Usually on DV's movies we slowly uncover the plot asking with the protagonist. RwR world most certainly be in line with that. It's also a coveted classic. I really think THIS is the project

Be careful, some passives are currently bugged. For example the death world character the survival instinct doesnt grant you extra parry and dodge chance when you have temporary wounds. Also if you go warrior reckless strike is incredibly powerful since it can double the damage of your next basic attack and it also gets applied to aoe attacks not just the single target version, you can also combine it with the sworn enemy buff for even more damage on 1 target.

Hello there, friend. Nice to see you embracing Rogue Trader.

Imma need those build videos asap dawg 😤. I went in with operator as my archetype and now there's like 3 of us. Can't have that

Dude I have just kinda learned to make decent character in WOTR. I cannot go trough it again with this game 🙂. Maybe next year.

I don't know how, but I've managed to make Abelard an absolute killing machine 😮

The problem with officers is that they have to be so close, and in line of sight, to use their abilities. I'm constantly finding myself unable to buff the right person because my officer has to be somewhere else. My RT right now is Officer/Grand Strategist. So I get the half turn, send Bring It Down to my sniper, get back to my RT's full turn since GS goes first regardless of initiative, send BiD to another person, then back to my RT so he can kill something. But my snipers are so good I don't always keep them close to my RT. A properly built sniper is the best mercenary you can have. I use two on my team. They sit in the back and just delete people from the game. I started out building snipers as Bounty Hunters because that's what all the videos and blogs say. But that's the wrong Archetype for it. The best sniper you can build is Forge World>Asta Militarum Commander>Operative>Assassin. For the Forge World, be sure to pick the brain implants to boost intelligence. Assassin is better for snipers because most of the talents work with a stationary character. And "Elusive Shadow" is absolutely perfect for a sniper, makes them the lowest priority target. All of the Assassin ability buffs are based on Intelligence, Agility, and Perception. The Homeworld/Origin combo used here boosts Intelligence, Perception, and Ballistic Skills. BS works for the Operative abilities and, obviously, snipers in general. It does ignore Agility. But Agility only plays a role on the defensive part of things. Since snipers are hidden in the background, they don't need much defense. And thanks to the Operative/Assassin abilities, these snipers don't need an officer nearby. They can buff themselves. With the right Abilities and enough AP, each of my snipers can 1-shot 2-3 critters per turn. Yrliet found that out the hard way.

Idira uses her first Psyker ability after joining the party...

Great video! One correction; the voidborn talent be smart let the MC to use intelligence instead of fellowship, that's pretty neat, especially if you go officer + grand strategist.

Your are next is for when your Servant is low on hp, not the player. It's basically if your buffbuddy is about to go down you can grab someone else and put them to work. I don't know if I'd take it though, I generally shy away from talents that rely on you to be failing before they're of any use. I'd rather something that works all the time preventing that from happening.

Holy God-Emperor, it's great to have you back! I love Baldur's Gate 3 and enjoyed your videos for the game, but I'm afraid the game just doesn't give you enough of a challenge for your theorycrafting. I can't wait to dig deep into Rogue Trader with your guidance.

Really need some melee psyker builds now please.

Yes, give us the OP officer guide bro!

I get not changing archetype, class, whatever background stuff, that makes sense. But i really wish we could reasign characteristics chosen at creation. Characteristics change each round of combat, even out of combat rather frequently!

Killed a guy by the top of the stairs. Heard the initial squish of the body getting hit by big ass bullet. Then kept hearing a set of "squish" afterwards and it turns out tgat the shot dismembered the guys legs and they kept rolling down the stairs making sounds 😂. Loving this game so far. May we someone day be blessed enough to see the light of the most holy, our God Emperor.

thanks for the guide, but I think soldier is better for burst and area weapons (to kill a lot of weak enemys) and operative is better for snipers (boss killers). Soldier rewards you for a lot of hits and kills, while operative talents heavily buff you first attack and promote to be stationary.

Navy officer get into cover count as Extra turns for cassio mastery of time, which mean if you can use it twice it grant up to 50 fellowship, which translate into greatly upgraded master tactitian cassio If you realy want to exploit this run a 2 bounty hunter 2 officer type and 2 navy team. Bounty has 2 skills that grant extra turns, not to mention 2 exploiter that can increase everyone armor indefinetely with officer extra extra turn. Combined with the ramping buff cassio. Her buff will break the game the moment you get bounty hunter talent. Bonus tip firebird work with navy officer get into cover

Be smart is the other way around. It replaces fellowship with intelligence.

what a great year for crpg lovers the dlcs for pathfinder, bg3 and now this. The bad thing is... I DONT HAVE FKING TIME TO PLAY THEM AS MUCH AS I WANT :')

Note: Apparently you can respec your party by talking to the High Factotum Janris on your ship. Haven't tried it myself tho

Can't afford the game right now but a friend was showing me feats, I read sieze the initiative and said instantly pick that LOL

Awesome between this wotr and Bg on Xbox now I am having the time of my life

A solid, but odd build. Pyro mancer with the fire res backgroud. You light yourself on fire, and wade into melee. and just Anihilate enemies. If they hit you, attack, deal fire dmg to you or you cast anything you PBAOE. Point blank area of effect. It also allows firestorm to work, since it wont hit things not on fire.

Bit lost in WH 40k - curious how my journey will be. Pretty sure, your guides will be helpful as usual, even i am not as happy in melee as you are 😄 I prefer being a Commander and let my team get the injuries 🙃 Skill Monkey / Caster in other games...

The master is back, and has already homed in on the most OP things, so you don't have to :) I always think it's a bit of a double-edged sword, because once you know the OP things, it feels a bit sad playing anything less than optimal, even though it might be more fun for your preferred personal playstyle, or more suited to the sense of rp you initially had in mind.

Great video. Can't wait to see your psyker builds

I was thinking of making an officer santic psyker build.

Nice video! Thank you

Great video wow subscribed can't wait to play

I don't think Summary Execution is as good as you think, because the only way to trigger it is to kill the target with your Commissar, and the Commissar doesn't get the bonus from At All Costs!. Sure you can apply the ability again but its more of preventing a wasteful usage of it than actually providing additional value.

Surprised you skipped over Incinerate for Pyromancer. Once you get the ball rolling by stacking fire across the battlefield, it is a fantastic way to burst down priority targets.

Everyone: "The Word Bearer was too hard!" Me: "Hold my buffed Argenta." Chaos Marine: "Why do you have so many officers?! WHY IS THIS SISTER OF BATTLE SO POWERFUL!?"

You making me wanna remake my main character into a officer 😂

Whats the best officer build? 😊

Have not tried this game yet, but I have heard that the difficulty (especially on Unfair) of this compared to Pathfinder WotR is not as much. So I assume that this game will be more forgiving on builds that are not near perfect.

Hmm I really can't decide the best Archetype for a Pyromancer caster blaster. I don't wanna reroll again so late in the game. Save me, CRPG bro! I'm thinking either Master Tactician or Assassin. I know action economy is king in turn based RPGs so the extra turn from Master Tactician helps. If the AOEs from Pyromancer procs the assassin's perk, then assassin would be huge too.

I find pyromancer to be quite strong, especially if you have an officer with the feat that allows them to always go first. You can cast ignite on their bonus turn and then firestorm on their actual turn. A good synergy is to have a melee tank with a flamer or hand flamer to proc fire and then use firestorm to spread it to more people. Also one thing I love about officers is that their extra turn ability can be used on an extra turn so if you have multiple officers you can chain the ability like a conga line to reach someone who's otherwise too far.

Look you can fully respec everyone apart from the rogue trader just hire a new mercenary. I like how it sticks you to your class and background doesn't make sense story wise for the rogue trader to completely change.

Gimme the buuuilds. Please make a warrior Vanguard build

Health is denoted as wounds because that is how health is tracked in all Warhammer and Warhammer 40K tabletop games.

I can respec out of anything but that's cause i built a save editor.

(Me when I just try to roleplay as Commissar Cain and his faithful aide, Jurgen): heh, pew pew

Sanctioned Psyker Melee Nuker How do?

Can you respec companion origins, archetypes, homeworld?...

Bro make full op officer build please

Trying to decide what second warrior archetype to take for my rogue trader. Have a sanctioned psyker background. Wanted to use the sanctic psykers sword attack in the end game, if it doesn't turn out to be terrible. Definitely melee focused, though.

Hello author ans other guys! Could you please let me alme advices about melee pyro? I cant really decide about stats and world

typical owlcat not letting you respec character when that's the most fun part of their games, i have major indecisiveness i don't want to restart everytime i wanna try a new mash up, pretty sure i spent more time thinking about what classes i wanna run than i actually spent playing bg3

Yes! Crpg bro! Lets gooo! Its time to break this game like we did wrath!

Thanks for the guide. I am guessing the best party comp would be 4 officers and 2 soldiers. (for Min/Max play)

reading an awful lot of overheating issues due to the Unity engine. Anyone else have this or a solution? got an older ti1070 card, so rather hesitant to buy this atm.... (bg3 runs fine on this btw)

Cant wait for your builds! Especially for the pyromancer psycher. Maximum dmg 😩

cant wait for the companion builds

comment for the algorithm. bis guide as always

I went forge world operative crime lord and using sniper rifles.

I couldnt unlock him , the option never came up..! 😢 he stayed in his cage and i left the city without him ..bugs! :(

what class for the priest where fit the priest by

Perfect

took me 6hrs of gameplay to figure out WTF wounds were

Can anyone please elaborate on this part 41:45 ? What does he mean by not having spells in 60-70% of the game? Do you get to have spells later, even if you are not a psyker?

Thanks for the basics, i plaed tabletop a long time ago, and the worst thing was the character creation mayhem. i really disliked it, especially because the book was a mess. i do love the setting though. Played a sniper / hacker mechanus frommone of the forgeworlds, which was a lotta fun :)

Giving up your turn to give an ally an extra turn doesn't gain anything, though?

Please do an assassin build I can’t any

Are there stat requirements for gear? Want to play a 2H fighter in heavy armor but it seems like AGI scales everything better than STR

My main is psyker tank/dps. Very fun build.

Valeu pelo video

I regret picking Operative. I wanted to play Officer

Really unhappy that Origins matter so little in the game compared to archetypes. :/ Puts a massive damper on replayability.

Yo Mr. BRO, how would you rank rouge trader among bg3 and pathfinder wotr?

Any shotgun build viable? Or melee weapons much better?

what would be the best hoemworld for a damage melee cahracter

is an Officer\sniper build viable for the main?

So, leaving BG3 behind? Well, had to happen at some point, I guess

I really couldn’t figure out a build to make the sister of battle any good. One or maybe two mediocre bolster shots that missed pretty often seemed terrible. What’s a better build for her?

Kinda bummed that of all the psyker types they have not included the funniest of them all: TELEKINESIS PSYKER. In wargame, usage of TELEKINESIS usually amounts to huge bonuses to AP of the weapons (mostly melee, your ordinary sword is now a power sword) and possibly an armor bonus. And, of course, just throwing boulders at enemies. Also if I remember correctly, invisibility was one of the telepathic powers, and it's not there. Double bummer.

You always have the best guide, but this video is too long.

I disagree one Argenta, if you go arch-militant with her she can get super OP i only just started Chapter two and if you give her a bolter and the kick ability you can really stack up her class buffs you rotate between single and burst fire and if anyone gets in to melee you kick then (that counts as a new attack so another stat buff) and i gave her a blade trinket that lets her parry with ranged weapons using her BS so she is hard to hit....... so i got this mad bolter bitch running around with 120+ BS and WS kicking fools and turning enemy entire groups in to swiss cheese with rapid fire, i even gave her the grenadier skill so she gets a free nade too.

can i respect my companions?

your builds are perfect or at least close, which are meta builds and somewhat kills the RPG element of the game, besides that, really perfect content gotta admit and I have been a follower since wotr. maybe you should sometimes give up the maths and optimization and put in some rpg elements?
