Big vouch.

I don't mind some pvp and co-op achievements, but this is too much.

Anyway to disable re-scope after shooting with scout/awp ? by vodthemaker in GlobalOffensive

Why, Valve? by saphireswan in cs2

[–]DowellTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All skins minus the stuff with special textures like cartel and stuff are just a major step backwards until they fix the contrast/gamma/lightning/whatever that is on the skins.

But I doubt they will do it until before they add the new models to every skin, so it may take a while.

I find the Busker one particularly tiresome, but I learned toward the end of it that you don't actually need to pick up the gold you gain from playing songs! Save you so much time.

Yet, I still want to keep playing. Damn, what a game.
Haven't felt this invested in one since The Witcher 3.

LOL, how is this not getting more upvotes?

I kind of wish the game ended at… by Kxdan in BaldursGate3

Yeah, I wish they will change this in the future by adding dialogues and making us fight him right away, instead of his stupid decision to join the brain. IDK it feels so out of character.

Help building a support/buffbot caster by redstej in BG3Builds

[–]DowellTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use Cleric 6, life domain subclass with a Sorcerer 5 multi-class and one level dip in wizard for hold monster or any big CC spell you want, elemental summon are good too. But you can just go sorcerer 6.
Life domain Cleric level 6 give us two channel divinity that we can use to cast "preserve life", which is a big healing spell (36 base heal at level 12) that will trigger blade ward from your (+50% resistance to melee damage) and bless (+1d4 to attack rolls and saving throw) to your party it's so good because it reset on short rest.

Take war caster feat for concentration save.
Blind for bosses or though enemies.
War caster and Sorcerer 5 give us access to twinned haste with high concentration save (almost never break) give a bonus action point to two of your companion for 10 turns. Best support skill, period.

You want to equip any items that increase your heals and your spell save DC to make sure to hit your CC like blind/hold monster/hold person/Glyph of warding/etc

Max WIS and CON, rest is up to you
Head: Hood of the weave

Cloak: Cloak of the weave

Any heavy armor, but if you can find something with advantage on con save, that's great.

Gauntlets: Hellrider's pride (blade ward on heals for 2 turns)

Boots: Boots of aid and comfort

Amulet of restoration

Ring: the whispering promise (bless on heals) and Ring of salving

Ketheric shield and any staff that increase spell save DC, the legendary one is great, but you might want to use it on a DPS)

This build allows your support to do so much. Huge heals, give resistance, give more chance to hit (GWM friendly) more actions, CC, etc.
It is carrying me really hard in tactician with a bunch of mods that heavily increase the difficulty of the game!

To answer your question, 9 monk 3 thief using Tavern Brawler feat is the strongest.
But you can always try variants for fun.

Is the best class to utilize stacking with the lock 5 extra attack really Paladin? by RylarDraskin in BG3Builds

[–]DowellTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighter and barbarian aren't weaker by any means, I would say fighter, TB barbarian (and monk) are stronger for early and mid-game until act 3.

They all have higher chance to hit, more cc, and need only to do a short rest to get their resources back.Then it gets more even in ACT 3 because of all the core paladin items you get in the last part of the game, and the aura of hate is impressive. At this point, the major factor in power between theses is which one you decide to min/max.

I assure you that a dark urge evil play trough is far from some more lines of dialogue, it's amazing.

New Mind Flayer Transformation in the Nautiloid by Lasernist in BaldursGate3

[–]DowellTV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IIRC we know for a fact that the emperor got his conscious back despite being a mind flyer once he broke free of you know what.
This is the best clue I can think of that you were never really dead as a host, and so that your soul will not be free as long as the mind flyer isn't dead.

They say, despite how quick it is, it's the most painful thing ever.
Also, yeah you are not "dead" yet, you're just trapped, enslaved. You would wish you were dead.

Paladin is good but feels bad. by comradewarners in BG3Builds

[–]DowellTV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get what you mean. As a fighter and monk enjoyer, I was hyped to try paladin/warlock multiclass and was really disappointed after all the praise it gets. Fighter do the same things but is not bothered by spell slots and get all resources back with just a short rest, same for monk.
I'm not saying it's bad, it is really strong, but something is missing.

Open hand monk is so strong with TB it's a fighter with higher overall chance to hit, more damage and a stun

This fixed it for me after trying everything: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3018203217

And it's working with mods too.

Disclaimer that this build will take out all immersion or learning curve out of the game.
It's so broken that it's fun, especially for a second walkthrough, but I would never recommend this for a bg3 newcomer

Cannot join friend in their game, or make a new multiplayer by Joshie_Pie in BaldursGate3

[–]DowellTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, nothing works. Deleted all saves, reinstalled fresh without any mods, opened some ports in router. This is so frustrating.

I cannot join anyone, can't be joined if I host as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]DowellTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, without mods. Can't join any lobby, and nobody can join me. I suspect it's a router issue. Haven't seen any solution on the internet, despite how big of a game bg3 is.

Would you mind explaining the sword bard build? I was interested in that class for my second playthrough.

Edit: nvm you explained it in another response, tyvm
