The way I see it you can do two things with Ember that justify her party slot. have pointed out previous how our whole build philosophy is based on making boss battles easier, 'cause am not seeing the point to being able to snooze through trash mobs only to be stymied during boss battles. Ps but again, and am not just doing the bygone thing- if ember is effective for you, then that is good enough. nothing else needed and each investment in meta requires abandonment o' something else. ![]() the thing is, shrug off the occasional reflex check pass for chain lightning which she gets freebie with those bracers and maybe during a boss fight she misses a sr check, or two, which in the grand scheme if you is playing normal and has an angel doing storm o' justice won't matter or be noticed, but objective ember is less effective if she don't have boss level sr penetration and ab. If you aren't playing at least core, then you likely don't need greater spell penetration and you can probable skip weapon focus in spite o' her blackened malus. we load up on such stuff and then blast away at everything. Is a whole lotta gear in the game which boosts spellcaster fire efficacy and catalogues, particular for spontaneous casters. drop a feat somewhere and take elven immunities 'cause against bosses you need every bit o' spell penetration. obvious you are going with spell focus and greater spell focus and at least one o' the spell penetrations, likely both, yes? you took selective spell, correct? add heighten as a metamagic as well as weapon focus: ray and improved critical: ray. ![]() the owlcat folks gave her the right starting feats with point-blank and precise. If you keep ember as a witch, she just doesn't have superfluous feats. nevertheless, am still not taking anything but heighten and perhaps empower even with such a build. finish off with loremaster for extra (cheaty or not) feats. 5 levels o' witch, one level o' vivisectionist, then go everything arcane trickster. ![]() If you really want metamagic, add levels o' arcane trickster and loremaster. I've leaned into the blaster role because that's what her starting build lends itself to, but am open to learning from missed opportunities. I appreciate the 'bygones be bygones' sentiment, but I'm genuinely curious how you're using her.
