![]() ![]() The new transmission has a wider gear ratio that more quickly provides power but also improves fuel economy. ![]() While shifting is audible when towing a trailer uphill on Montana Highway 200, the transmission didn’t shudder. It’s also a welcome improvement over the continuously variable transmission in the previous model. Nissan tightened and improved handling with a new smooth-shifting transmission, which significantly boosted towing capability. Nissan New On-Road PersonalityĪll Pathfinder variants are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces up to 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. When equipped, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds. The SUV sits slightly higher, but is almost an inch shorter in length at 197.7 inches. It’s about 1/2 inch wider, with an even bigger 1.2 inch increase in track width (the distance between the wheels on each axle). The new Pathfinder’s styling is more rugged and less jellybean than before. While no one would mistake the new Pathfinder for a hard core desert runner or rock crawler, Nissan packed enough capability into the four-wheel-drive version of this model to tackle fire roads, mud, ruts and washboard trails. But over successive generations the SUV morphed into a soft people mover. It was a rugged vehicle that competed with the Toyota 4Runner and other off-road vehicles. Nissan launched the Pathfinder in 1986 as a body-on-frame SUV (how trucks are built). The styling of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is more rugged than the outgoing model. It is now competitive with the Toyota Highlander, beats out the Honda Pilot and depending on what it actually sells for-as opposed to its sticker price-might represent a better value than the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, the top choices in the segment. ![]() I'm also using turn based combat so positioning isn't as important and negates the need for controlled.The redesign places the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder into the must-shop list for anyone considering a seven- or eight-seat people hauler that can easily navigate dirt roads and trails to remote camping, kayaking and fishing sites. I'm loving using lightningballs even with them competing with haste for spell slots. It's normally a powerful nuke with the obvious drawback that fire resist and immunity are the most common. I'm playing through a lightning elemental bloodline sorc ATM and the toggle ability to convert energy types of spells to lightning has made fireball an excellent pick. I think controlled certainly has a place in your build if you can't fit regular in. Level 3 already has a good amount of solid picks, and extended level 2 buffs are always a good use of the slots. You usually get more mileage out of buffs / debuffs /battlefield control spells than one shot damage spells that'll probably get saved, resisted and/or evaded anyways.Īs a wizard I would grab both, probably scribe the level 3 version, and pick controlled at level up since I don't recall ever seeing a scroll of it in the wild, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten regular fireball scrolls that I end up vendoring since they cast at caster level 5.įor a sorcerer it's really not worth it to use a level 4 and 3 spell slot until you are high enough level that you'll have better options. Your spells are limited resources that make you rest more often. Your damage dealers can put out tons of damage without expending any resources. Got a fighter with combat reflexes and a reach weapon? Enlarge him to double reach and trip an enemy or 10 and trigger AoO's on all of them. Tank getting swarmed? Grease, entangles, pit spells, etc all can make enemies regret going the wrong way. Got someone putting out too much damage? Blind them, exhaust them, etc. It's always better to give your team of 5 melee fighters an extra attack per round for 10 rounds at their highest attack bonus while also giving them a bonus point to AC, attack, and +10ft movement, compared to throwing a 10d6, that targets reflex saves, against the most common type of damage reduction, and multiple classes/monsters have evasion to make the damage half, quarter or none? Remember, melee characters have static bonuses like strength, power attack, and multipliers from crit, charges, etc, your damage relies on the dice being kind. Wizards, using spells to cause direct damage is often one of the least efficient things you can do with your action. A well placed fireball/controlled fireball has it's place, but I would like to refer you (and others) to Treatmonk's guide to being God. ![]()
