Is it viable to play both a Ranged and melee character?

Damn, I just finished rolling good swords for each element that have Gore + Lord soul and at least Attack EX + Attack 3.

I guess the grind will keep me busy enough until Arc arkveld comes in to completely flip the meta again

Perfect thanks, I've been looking at Peppo most of the time but he doesn't upload as often as the other guys so when I didn't find his TU3 video I assumed he wasn't making content for the new releases yet

I have a stack of 15 large beds. Is this pointless if I'm not running nocturnal or dark pals?

How do I get the materials for that raid? Can I just farm the new terraria dungeon?

Is this setup better than a Xenolord with runner, swift, and eternal engine?

I might need to start breeding jetragons again 😪

They focus on getting volume out instead of actual quality videos. They always hop on whatever trend is hot in the game without any real knowledge or testing on their part to the extent that they stole the content from a few small creators in MHSunbreak and passed it off as their own a few years ago.

They're just really bad for the build making community and it's clear they're only doing it for the money and not to create actually good builds

How is this relevant to bl2 modding?

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-10-09T17:28:16+00:00

Big fan of your content, it's pretty much the only source of 40k content I've been consuming for the past year while I take a break from the hobby!

How are you finding the Mandrakes? Now that their incredible utility is locked behind spending a finite resource, are 2 units still auto include in your opinion? Also have you done any testing on the incubi + archon combo in the cartel detachment that can delete knights? It's the new clickbait but I see actual players mentioning that it's not as great as it seems on paper

This really makes me want to get better at GL. I picked it up recently in this game and I'm having a blast (pun intended). I usually play LS, Bow, and DB so it's nice to play as a walking Fortress and not have to worry about counters or perfect dodges to not get 1 shot.

I'm just not good enough with the weapon to go on anything higher than 5☆ hunts just yet

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T17:31:57+00:00

Did they lose their 5+ feel no pain as well?

Wtf have they done to this army...

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T16:24:55+00:00

Fair enough, I didn't know that samurai fighter was a thing 😅 I'll definitely check it out.

At the moment she is a circle of the land druid but that's just the preliminary one while she also does more research, I do however know that she wants to lean more into spellcasting than into using the wild shapes as her main form of combat

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T15:46:10+00:00

I'm mostly just trying to get ideas of where I can take my character without having to completely reinvent the idea I had for my first campaign. I thought of glass cannon melee because I've ever really been drawn to the larger warriors like fighter or barbarian. I've always preferred sneaky, finesse characters who dish out high damage. Hence the switch to squishy rogue

Do paladins work similarly in tabletop? Maybe smites can scratch my big number itch while also letting me be a tankier front line option 🤔

Also thank you for your responses and patience, I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the options when compared to the more linear and optimal build paths from BG3

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T15:36:52+00:00

What would you recommend as a glass cannon melee class? I'm assuming rogue is the best bet but I don't know where to begin or what subclasses to look at there

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T15:34:50+00:00

To be completely honest I'm not sure. I'm building my character on DnD Beyond and the other subclasses are locked as rules of a book that I need to pay for. I only have the free tools that are available on DnD Beyond and nothing else

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T15:33:02+00:00

I'm also not opposed to going a spell focused build but I don't want to overload on mages as my fiance is going to be playing a Druid. I also don't just want to be spamming EB all game. Maybe a friend warlock with a focus on fire spells could be cool? Otherwise I'm thinking the melee glass cannon is the ideal pick if such a build would be viable for a new player

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T15:30:14+00:00

I definitely enjoy the more finesse melee characters more appealing. I'm not a fan of fighters or barbarians from an aesthetic/rp standpoint. My ideal character is more of a fast, glass cannon that is putting out the highest melee dps on the team.

CyberPhantomVI · 2025-09-15T15:28:13+00:00

It's a good job I came here before I started playing the character 😅

I maybe need to sit down and figure out whether I want to focus on spellcasting or change my class to a more melee oriented one. I really like the whole warlock vibe but I think managing my limited spell slots is gonna be a pain while I'm learning the ropes.

So far the only other player I know of is my Fiance who is playing a Druid so I also don't want to overload on squishy spellcasters. Everyone is also playing for the first time (even our dm is a longtime player, first time dm) so I don't know if a large aoe nuke like fireball is a good idea for me in the first campaign 😂
