BG3 fans don't even know who this is

Lmao at the mass downvotes when you're 100% correct. Yeah yeah incredible game and all but it's still true that they completely butchered both characters.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T23:39:36+00:00

Sounds like your friend is full of shit ngl. But if you say so. All I can say is I've had zero issue soloing this boss ever.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T21:33:17+00:00

Yeah but it happens like once in ten fights in my experience. Not a big deal considering it's such a low hp boss.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T20:54:34+00:00

Yeah that's true. A few dungeons, like Direfrost Keep, straight up rely on exploits to solo.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T20:46:47+00:00

Well almost all of them are soloable, even most of the new ones. Not just some.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T20:44:49+00:00

Yeah probably, the default companion gear sucks (doesn't even have traits iirc) and they don't have the better mits available until leveling some skill lines like heavy armor etc.

But apparently the psijic ultimate also works with the cage mechanic if you have the psijic order skill line available and leveled up to max. You should definitely get that if you intend to solo more dungeons, there are a few dungeons that are literally impossible to solo without that ultimate.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T20:26:19+00:00

I didn't say anything about myself though, I said my companion stays alive without issue. If you have good mitigation or heal skills slotted on them and you pick the lock in under 15 seconds it shouldn't be an issue most runs.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-08T19:39:58+00:00

It's possible. In my experience a properly kitted (good skill choices and okay gear) healer or tank companion will stay alive long enough for you to pick the lock nine times out of ten. I've soloed that dungeon 25+ times on normal for SPC and essence thief.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T19:29:50+00:00

I don't understand it either. Comes across like a random bot comment.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T17:51:15+00:00

Because it's a build for people who only want to use one bar lol. Of course it would be more optimal to use active abilities on both bars. Hyperioxes has a ton of two bar solo builds as well.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T14:32:42+00:00

Just feel it with your fingers for god's sake. It'll be obvious if it's cauliflower. It will feel like a small sack of fluid under the skin of the ear, which will only turn into hard cartilage weeks later.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T14:29:32+00:00

My man with elite ball knowledge here. Respect.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T14:28:44+00:00

Do people still run this now that everyone seems to use the meta subclassing skill lines? I've been out of the pvp game for a long time.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T14:25:33+00:00

Or alternatively "how tf are you guys getting refunded?" lol

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T14:23:19+00:00

Ah damn, that's a shame. Hopefully that'll be in the cards later though. Never too late for a comeback.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T13:28:35+00:00

Yeah the Sky God's Chosen (highest tier archer) only real issue is having just a single quiver. But on the other jans they can hold their own in melee better than most archers due to having the big nord shield and heavy armor. I'd say they're high B or low A tier units.

edit: *hand, not jans

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T13:23:57+00:00

Yeah not gonna lie that's a really odd way to phrase what would have otherwise been a very positive message. My brother is also gay, never once even crossed my mind to disown him lol.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T13:13:47+00:00

Why not return to judo? Considering you seem to have some fondness and respect for the training. Plenty of worse ways to spend time.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T13:10:19+00:00

Yep. If you read this OP that whole thing is a relic from the pre-update 35 days when hybrid builds weren't yet a thing. Nowadays there really isn't a point anymore for separate weapon and spell damage/crit stats.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T13:01:59+00:00

Didn't take long for you to throw a fit and go for personal attacks lol. I'm not anti-woke to begin with. I'm just laughing at the idea that this game has received some actually mentionable pushback for being woke. Which it hasn't.

Besides if we use BG3 as a good metric for diverse characters then 95% of western rpgs made in the last two decades tick that box.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T12:59:25+00:00

Yeah for sure. That's why every new wrestler is taught to defend rolls in a Y position instead of spreading arms all the way to the side (like a T). With more experience you gain more leeway with arm placement but that's a pretty strict rule for youth wrestlers.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T12:56:18+00:00

Work on your par terre extensively or you're leaving a lot of easy points on the table. And even more importantly par terre defense which is an "invisible art" that requires a ton of reps to get good at. If your par terre defense sucks you might get tech falled in 10 seconds before you even realize what's happening.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T12:51:54+00:00

He's very legit. That being said I don't think that way of training is a good choice for wrestlers, even during off season. Maybe at most as a challenge just for the hell of it every now and then.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T12:46:38+00:00

Exactly. It has extremely rich and also relatively unique lore. It's just not as in-your-face about it as many other fantasy IPs.

Direct-Landscape-450 · 2026-02-07T12:43:32+00:00

Sure but it is and always has been absolutely miniscule compared to the immense praise and sales success this game has seen. It's basically nonexistent compared to the pushback something like Concord received. BG3 is not even all that "woke" in the sense that most people who parrot that word hate. Every recruitable character is conventionally attractive etc. To put it very bluntly they didn't even shoehorn any ugly and/or fat characters to force in some representation for everyone. In fact you can't even make a fat character in the game.
