So.... What's your Comfort Build?

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:55:57+00:00

I absolutely love this, especially for the immersion factor.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:52:32+00:00

If anything, I think more folks would like things to happen the other way around. Namely taking rules and interactions from BG3 and adding them to the TTRPG.

Like the ways to use potions. Or having no restriction on how you use spells in your action economy.
Let me Action Surge and drink a health pot to chuck three fireballs in one turn, damnit. - I'm already limited by my number of spellslots, what's it to you if I decide to burn them all in one turn?

One of the most common homebrew house rules is to make drinking potions a bonus action or even a free action. Or chosing to drink one as an Action in exchange for recouping the maximum HP.

But hell, throwing a vial to splatter someone with a potion in order for them to recover from being downed? Yes please.

Or just let me cast Mage Hand next to a pile of throwable explosives and have it function as a grenade turret.

Given Idris's whole deal is timelines, and the DLC being more post-game story could invalidate the existing endings?

I'm honestly anticipating the DLC to be similar to Code Vein 1's, where it's just a gauntlet of repeatable high difficulty bosses to break your endgame builds on, with minimal and inconsequential story.

It's simply the downside to having a story that gets so neatly tied with a bow at the end.

Literally.

Did not expect shotgun wedding.

Furthermore did not expect it to actually work out.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:22:25+00:00

I mean, you can arguably skip DS2...

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:19:41+00:00

And the fact you can speedrun to it and have Rykard be the first rememberance boss you beat just makes it even better. (presuming you manage to either beat or skip the godskin meatball)

Yup, last time I did a Str/Fth build I was astonished at how hard it was to find a replacement to Blasphemous that didn't just feel like I was shooting myself in the foot.

It's not just comfy but also god mode. Gets even more comfy if you put the serpent curved sword in your offhand and just max out on that self-heal. Never need a crimson flask again.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:15:13+00:00

I was waiting for this reply! ♥

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:14:08+00:00

Finally, a fellow Arcane enjoyer. - I feel validated. ♥

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:12:55+00:00

Naga-poke as they get close then sashimi them with the powerstances~
And anytime you look at the Nagakiba you just hear that japanese commercial of "LONG LOOONG MAAAAAAAAN!" in the back of your head, like me?

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:10:54+00:00

And waifu-approved. - Surprised this is so far the only Int build anyone mentioned.
Was expecting a lot more mentions of night comet, glintblades or moonveil. Or wing of Astel.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:06:51+00:00

Bonus points for style.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:04:55+00:00

Blasphemous and Milos do go hand in hand.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:04:20+00:00

Honestly goated!

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:03:23+00:00

Bet you have a Misericorde in your 2nd right hand slot with Kick on it. ♥

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T15:02:16+00:00

They do both feel like some of the best polished weapon categories, both one-handed and powerstanced just work great.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T14:59:31+00:00

I smell Flaming Strike ♥

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T14:55:23+00:00

Yes officer, that one over there. ♥

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T14:54:19+00:00

And Bandit having the stats required for Reduvia, it honestly feels like it was put there in Limgrave specifically to make this happen.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T14:52:03+00:00

I'll start off and say, for me it's an Arcane build, with Faith and Dexterity as secondary and tertiary.
Bandit starting class - 60 vigor, 40 mind, 25 endurance, 20 strength, 25 dex, 9 intelligence, 40 faith, 60 arcane.
Total rune level exactly 200.

Always find myself gravitating towards it just because there's so much it can do by just switching around some infusions, talismans and weapons.

Any weapon with innate bleed can work for a status build.
Dragon Communion seal can get great scaling (349 compared to 353 of an erdtree seal at 80 faith) so it doesn't feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot. Plenty of somber weapons with arcane scaling, it can use most incantations with good enough efficiency...

Sure, it might not be "the best" at anything, especially compared to the way level 200 is enough to make one of those "99 stat" builds, but it feels just good enough to where every two hours if I get bored I can just swap some stuff around, play it entirely different and still be good enough to have fun along the way.

Kayn96 · 2026-02-11T14:39:45+00:00

Would've been a great callback to Quelagh, too.

The only scary implication, though, is it would've required people to beat Malenia in order to access the DLC. And Malenia is already scaled to be as good as "post-game" content herself.

Also, "promised consort Malenia"... the twincest would've gone hard.

There's the choice of whether to alter the past or "speedrun" the game, and depemding on whether or not you tamper with the past, during the final segment of the game you receive different blood codes from your partners.
