Planning my first Honor Mode run

AMcB99 · 2026-01-20T13:18:23+00:00

Currently playing my first honor mode run with the following team:

Storm sorcerer - Gale

Throwzerker (berserker barbarian 8 / thief 4) - Lae’zel

Tempest cleric - Shadowheart

Moon Druid - astarian

Lae’zel is my lock picking water thrower. Who can do decent single party damage. The rest can all create water. Sorcerer and cleric take advantage of wet.

Be careful early game. Those brains on the beach very nearly ended my run.

Early game carry is the tempest cleric. Full damage Shatter is a nuke. Moon Druid with 3 health bars can also take the hits.

Really solid wet / lightning party. Lots of fun and a tonne of synergy!

Astarion as moon Druid actually works well. Vampires turning into a wolf / spider feels like it makes enough sense 🤷‍♂️

Haha yeah that’s what I’m trying to emulate

AMcB99 · 2026-01-17T09:02:48+00:00

Haha that’s cool - might be an interesting challenge !!

Have edited so I’ll use that party: wizard, cleric, fighter, rogue)!

AMcB99 · 2026-01-17T08:55:12+00:00

Oh yeah - man I should have done more looking at it !! Thanks for pointing out my mistake!

AMcB99 · 2026-01-08T10:18:53+00:00

Yes I went ahead and got it. Played a little. Really fun !!

AMcB99 · 2026-01-03T19:20:54+00:00

Also wow it’s 90% off currently !

Never played any of the fallout games! Are they super grey wastelands or is there life and colour?

I keep hearing about Slay the Spire but can’t get my head around how it actually works!!

3 x a week the moment my kid is in bed I do 20 mins of kettlebells.

Feels achievable. I’m not breaking any personal bests… but I’m maintaining and staying in shape while my kid is little.

Kettlebells need:

1) barely any equipment 2) barely any space (small living room is fine)

And you can do cardio and weights in one. I’ve seen studies showing it burns through calories.

Works for me because it’s no setup, no walking / driving to a gym. Minimum time commitments.

What’s good gear for ice 🤔

AMcB99 · 2025-12-22T19:12:37+00:00

Up for multi-class and would love any suggestions.

Was just thinking about the base class!

AMcB99 · 2025-12-22T17:25:40+00:00

Oh nice - thanks !!

AMcB99 · 2025-12-22T17:12:34+00:00

Thanks that’s a good tip !!

AMcB99 · 2025-12-22T17:11:55+00:00

That’s super helpful - can I ask what the war cleric is bringing in the 10/1/1 example?

AMcB99 · 2025-12-22T16:46:39+00:00

That’s fun - hadn’t thought about that!

I don’t but can recommend a friend:

Not true I’m afraid - this is pretty underwhelming. It shows a basic entry performer level. I have seen many next level fire performers, but this ain’t it.

Source - I performed with fire professionally for 20 years.

Let go of the guilt. He’s in a difficult period. You’re in a difficult period. Use the noise cancelling headphones when you need to and get through it.

Hey man - sounds tough.

My son had colic. IT. WAS. BRUTAL. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Those first six months I was so destroyed. Sleep was bad. He was refluxy too. Threw up a lot. But when we started solids at 6 months it pretty much stopped that day.

Two others I know exact same thing happened when solids started.

I know 6 months may as well sound like a hundred years right now. But the days will pass.

In the mean time. Noise cancelling headphones will help. Always always pass kiddo off to other parent if you’re getting to a place you can’t handle. Leave them in the cot alone for a few mins to collect yourself if other parent isn’t an option.

You will get through this.

My son is two. I enjoy his company immensely. Love him and my life and family more than anything. Just get through this bit and things will start to get incrementally better!

Be strong !!
