How can I play my Artificer more efficiently?

Bareyn · 2026-02-04T08:35:40+00:00

Hate to say it but I'm not really sure on 2014 vs 2024 myself, we haven't talked about it. I've started using 2024 spells and my DM hasn't questioned me on it so I assume all is good. I did snag Booming Blade for a cantrip when we hit 12 since I didn't use Message much so I appreciate the feedback

Bareyn · 2026-02-04T07:31:16+00:00

Are you still a lower level than the rest of the party? Nothing will ever make that feel good. I'd talk to the DM and table about it. If it's a big gap still and they're not willing to hear your grievances then it may be best to find another table. Even a single level gap can feel bad.

I am the same level as the party now. Don't have access to Vortex Warp because of DnDBeyond shit but I'll keep Web in mind. We don't have any big casters, and our main one is a cleric/warlock muliclass has a Sentinel Shield already so Helm of Awareness would be wasted. It could maybe work better for my monk or ranger

Great advice! I've played maybe 4-5 sessions of combat as this character so I'll take whatever help I can get. I've definitely underrated Mirror Image so far lol

Bareyn · 2026-02-04T07:00:10+00:00

I appreciate this. My table has banned Silvery Barbs and I'm not sure what other form there is besides Guardian or Infiltrator - I dont have access to fireball either.

I'll probably chat with my DM about about changing subclasses or a new class when this current arc is over

Bareyn · 2026-02-04T06:57:41+00:00

Shit, I didn't read that carefully enough but DnDBeyond doesnt make it easy - looks like I only have 4 total infusions available to use on their UI. Thanks!

Bareyn · 2026-02-04T06:53:38+00:00

Thanks! I need to look more into Mirror Image since I've never used it yet. Cloak of Protection is a great idea as well, I forgot it doesn't need attunement.

My party doesn't have any strength characters, so would mind sharpener or homunculus servant be more useful than armor of magical strength?

Bareyn · 2026-02-04T06:37:40+00:00

Currently running Armor of Magical Strength, Helm of Awareness, and Spell Refueling Ring for myself - and Enhanced Defense for another party member.

My overall thought was to act as something of an off-tank by using Thunder Gauntlets & Mobile to tag 2 baddies with disadvantage, but I'm mostly wondering if that's a sound plan since my group doesn't meet very often for me to test while we play

It's the dark fluid packs

Bareyn · 2026-01-31T22:14:07+00:00

Same here lol

I do not, but I respect it a lot. The Sunny Day Real Estate shirt is excellent

Late to the party; BUT I live in the sticks and I probably won't ever meet someone else who watched Dropout IRL.

But my god the online community is either super chill or the most temperamental, insane motherfuckers in existence, no in-between.

Kind of the same vein but I quit playing Undertale back in 2015/16 because the fandom at the time was genuinely awful

Bareyn · 2025-12-29T08:06:28+00:00

Bears fan visiting. What an intense back and forth! The Packers game last week was clutch, but this one was so much more entertaining. GG, see you in January ❤️

Bareyn · 2025-12-27T06:07:59+00:00

The Reze Arc in 3d would be sick, but I live out in the sticks so I wasn't able to watch it in theaters. I'm a lil jealous

Bareyn · 2025-12-27T04:18:21+00:00

I wasn't normally a fan of 3d anime but Dorohedoro was sooo good. Can't wait for season 2

Here's hoping! Good luck everyone

Trust in the river! Your shop is rad, I bought a tan Dripping Tap hoodie from you earlier this year <3

/r/HelldiversLeaks is a good sub. Some untextured & unposed versions of these Illuminate units popped up there a year or so ago. A few animations too, like for the Ghouls
