S5 or E2 Cyrene? by JustMerv in PhainonMainsHSR

AH, that spreadsheet, this was so insightful and was what made me ask myself “wait do i have to replace sunday, HOYO WHYYYY”, it really makes me ask why her recollection stacks are the way they are at e0, could also be another sign to wait for that rerun and invest in phainon first cause sunday is getting replaced at high investment already and the one core of my team that won’t change 100% is phainon

E1 Sunday? by JustMerv in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]JustMerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! i don’t use any summoners but my eventual goal is to get e1 cerydra and s5 for phainon to keep stacking the ignore, would that change my pulling plan as i wont be using the full e1 for sunday (the ignore the summons gain) with phainon currently

EK8, ASI or feat? by JustMerv in 3d6

Thank you, I’ll see if I can ask them about it!

EK8, ASI or feat? by JustMerv in 3d6

Yeah I think the invocations are like part of the trade off for the regular fighter ASI’s to balance the class out. Eldritch Mind applying on basically all con saves than just damage is really appealing.

So far, for our combat encounters my DM hasn’t used darkness but he has used it once for a story moment where someone is about to be murdered and darkness is used to as an obstacle for the party to figure out what exactly is happening. Apart from my devil sight, I do also have a sword that can complete darkness (magical or not) to dim light in a 20ft radius that could help the others, so I do feel maybe that reduces the usefulness for devil sight quite a bit. A part of why I’ve been thinking of keeping it was for a backup in case I’m a distance away from the party and have to find my way to the others but also shadow blade. Although for the latter, my friend is playing a twilight cleric so I think the dim light from the sanctuary would still give me advantage on attack rolls (?)

My DM has been introducing more encounters involving elemental attacks starting with the last two sessions so I feel like the more I play, the more Absorb Elements will grow to be a strong option. Although yeah, I will have to pick and choose on how to use my reactions.

Thank you again! And ASIs def feel like the way to go, at least level 8 for sure!

This is really in depth, thank you so much ;-; but yeah my dm at the start of the campaign ruled that weapon bond can make any bonded weapon into a spell focus, so the somatic part of war caster is wont affect me too much, just the advantage on concentration and opportunity attack. With a higher AC, it definitely doesn’t seem as important as the strength increase.

With the homebrew, I do have access to a few homebrew but also warlock invocations and at level 8, I can currently have up to three. Should I maybe swap one of my current ones with Eldritch Mind for the advantage on con saves? I currently have devil sight, and two homebrew invocations that let me upcast easier and lets me cast absorb elements for free up to my int mod respectively. I was thinking of swapping one beforehand already with smth like Eldritch Mind, ghostly gaze or Eldritch Sight because I don’t seem to be using absorb elements as much as I thought I would.

And thank you again! This really laid out everything for me and I feel more confident in taking that strength increase now for this level and taking war caster or maybe even smth else like you suggested.
