Anyone else wrestling with their build at Tier 3 and beyond?
A little bit, yes. I was happy to see that the Warrior of the Eternal Flame had been republished in the Blessed Lands book, as Raseri has pursued that for a very long time. From a 'fluff' standpoint, it is perfect for him.
Mechanically, I had to significantly tweak his build to eventually qualify for WotEF, and I will get relatively minor mechanical benefits from it. That said, it is absolutely the right choice in my mind due to the story aspects.
For my other characters, at the moment there aren't really any Paths that have grabbed my attention. It will be some time before I have multiple characters pushing T3, so hopefully there will be more paths to choose from, and something which better fits those characters.
I know my wife has had similar issues, in that there are very few paths which fit her character concept well...although there admittedly isn't a huge demand for paths for turnip farmers turned herbalist healer.
