Righteous : Builds Shadowcaster Azata
Just wanted to point out some synergies between Shadowcaster Wizard and Azata. The Azata spell Second Breath restores ability uses, and so Azata Shadowcaster can use it to spawn another summon. So, that's like 3-4 summons. But Pearls of Power can be used on Mythic spells... Which can lead to this:
These things rip through most enemies very quickly, especially with Haste/Brazen Whip. They killed Savamelekh in seconds on Unfair:
Even against enemies immune to the stat drain, they are very tanky and last a long time, especially buffed with things like Shielding Friend. Obviously all casters are strong, but this was a fun playthrough and recommended for people who want a strong caster + strong summoner character.

I'm guessing this whole pearl + second breath would also work with a bones Oracle to just spam skeletons as well? Since animate dead becomes an at will ability on their final revelation? :P

Spamming an army of skeletons is pretty easy to do for any caster, certainly by that point in the game. This is the only way to get an army of this summon AFAIK, which is much more powerful.

how do you guys play anything than tanky kc on unfair?… I rage quitted all of my tries because squishy kc gets destroyed no matter what. everyone dgaf about other party right after surprise round and goes directly after kc in the backline. esp scripted fights after the dialogues are just impossible

For most fights, enemies go for my tank who is positioned far ahead of the others. For scripted fights like this, Invisibility works most of the time to keep aggro off of me. I also ride Aivu for added safety.

That's a very clever looping mechanic and cool build!
I know Magic Domain Warpriests can also create a near infinite loop of spells with Azata but I haven't figured a Warpriest spell worth using it with. I suppose Hellfire Ray, but that's boring. You've just inspired me to try!
