What did you build for Swarm?

[Vae Victis]

Your opinions on swarm, the required build, or what you thought while playing that path?

I played a Vivisectionist because I thought it'd fit the motif. Haven't finished it yet, waiting for the EE. I have four or five saves near the end just waiting for the EE, in fact, since most additions will be to the very end of the game.

Thematically, I am a huge fan of either Blight Druid or Divine Hunter with Insanity domain and centipede companion for this mythic path.

Blight Druid is a tad more defensive oriented with Plaguebearer transmitting contagion on successful hits. This also applies when enemies hit your clones from what I witnessed. Plus immunity to diseases is far less widespread than immunity to poison in WotR. Miasma is the cherry on top for another enemy passive debuff. Not the most flashiest playstyle around the block, but I like it.

Divine Hunter's drawback (or anyone with an animal companion for that matter, really) is that only the "main body" get's to have the actual animal. Your clones will remain companionless. So archetypes which heavily rely on the partnership are objectively worse off. Still, I like having this insectile mythic path accompanied with an arthropod to match the theme. Even if centipede is largely regarded as the weakest pet. Insanity domain is a no-brainer, given that Lamashtu has deity specific dialogs in this mythic path.

I played a base slayer, sword and board. Thanks to grabbing magic nullification just before I hit swarm I was immune to all magic. Then my super high AC let me tank most of the other enemies through the early bit until I got my clones. After that it was smooth sailing.

Haha , i did the same, it was very funny and easy, and a brutal domination with my clones.

No one tried Kineticist? I was thinking witch of the veil 2 - Kineticist the rest of the way.

Or some sort of sword saint build, but ive yet to play Magus or Kineticist.
