This Pathfinder RPG’s weakest class is a poisoner in a game where nearly everyone is immune to poison, but after two years it’s about get a lifesaving overhaul

If you wanted to play a sneaky assassin guy (like I often do) in the excellent CRPG, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, you paradoxically never, ever wanted to pick the Assassin prestige class⁠—it was that bad. In the game’s 2.2 update accompanying the release of its Lord of Nothing DLC on November 21, though, Assassins might just get their ticket to the major leagues.

In a campaign where a good 70% or more of the enemies are demons immune to poison, the master poisoner prestige class was kinda screwed. Assassins’ Death Attack ability, with its chance of paralysis, was a bit more promising, but you’d be better off leaving crowd control to a Wizard while your edgy dual daggers guy opted for pure damage. Seriously, there’s a companion in the game who calls himself an assassin, but doesn’t have any levels in the class⁠—developer Owlcat knew Assassins were not ready to rumble.
