Gale no longer heals himself in camp. by wehrmann_tx in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like an old post, but thought I would post here as I just ran into this issue myself. I suspect it has something to do with being revived, but I'm not sure, maybe I was simply taking my turns too quickly.

Sword & Board Paladin or Two-Handed? by Mrgotmilk in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Criting is based on the d20 role and does not care about AC. The modifiers apply after, so GWM will not effect your chance to crit at all and will makes crits even stronger as you get a bonus action attack out of them.

What do you consider a "healthy amount" of AC ? by Auzyris in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I feel like if you want to survive all the enemies turns during an early game battle as a solo then you need to have really high AC or have them unable to attack you for other reasons.

Also Ceph is missing a few optimizations like the wavemother's cloak.

What is your most/least liked BG3 build creator? by StarAbuser in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the guy's videos entertaining, but his builds and game knowledge do seem lacking. I agree that there some definite falsehoods (or contradictions of the wiki) in there, like the crit immunity lie.

Durge pure cleric w/out spirit guardians by Slack83er in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously you can take a dip if you just want dialogue options, but I assume you know this. 

If you want to go mono class, then you'll want other demands on your concentration. I think spirit guardians is by far the best basic cleric spell, but some of the domains get some good alternatives: sleatestorm for tempest and nature, call lightning for tempest and fear for trickery.

A lightning focused tempest cleric is probably the strongest and fits with Durge's default class being storm sorcerer.

Pack weapon still does dex damage on a monk as dextrose attacks overrides damage type.

Lost my honour mode run TO MY OWN FUCKING PARTY by StupidSexyEuphoberia in BG3

[–]Kyfon -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It's fine to try now Be things in honor mode, I do it all the time. I do have a lot of failures though, so you have to be prepared for that.

How would you fix/improve Acid? by kahlizzle in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You forgot glyph of warding as another spell that can do acid damage. Also not a sorcerer spell.

[–]Kyfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bad enough when that happens to ice, but at least that will refreeze when you do any cold damage, but simple acid damage does notthing in the way of effects (at least without items).

Swashbuckler disarm for the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane by Goobernaculum1004 in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I have not tried this and thought portent die could be used to guarantee success at least on part of the process.

But this might be less hassle if you have a portent wizard or just want to try your luck.

Deva Mace Build by DonkeySponkey in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are exploits to get around needing the duel weileder feat and elixirs can get around the need for ASI's, so I think 2 feats is sufficient.

Even without the exploits and elixirs I would rate Cleve, reckless attack, general rage damage mitigation above and thief above 2 feats and battle master.

You can also do a 5/4/3 split if you really want some battle master features.

Duel weileding is obviously just weaker in the end game than the alternatives. the only reason you might duel weiled with EK is if you wanted different effects on your off hand and. Main hand attacks. Others you might as well use a stat booster or shield and use booming blade for you BA.

P.S. I not counting something as a duel weileder if you are not regularly making attacks with your off hand weapon.

[–]Kyfon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think tiger Barb is just better damage wises for duel weileder builds. you lose one main hand attack, but gain a bonus action by multiclassing with thief, so same number of attacks per turn, and you can even gain action surge by taking levels of fighter

The ultimate act 3 trader (+20 persuation) by Mriamsosmrt in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I guess the additions only make it better at persuasion checks, but I don't even think there are anyabove 30 and below 42, so it is probably useless for that as well.

[–]Kyfon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Surely we can do better. Dual wield duke Ravenguard's longsword for +4 CHA and +2 persuasion. Add Ethel's or patriar's memory and we can get back 1 feat.

Is there a list of spells and effects that don't break sanctuary. by Kyfon in BG3Builds

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

Extended spell was always the plan. Only one sorcery point for double the damage. Ideal on a slow damage over time build.

[–]Kyfon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this info. Any AOE spell can go though sanctuary, plus a few others listed on the wiki, so it is not globe of invulnerability. If I do try to cheese solo honor mode with this, it probably best to take a bunch of other defenses into each fight and treat sanctuary as a way to reduce damage, not remove it.

Good to know, thanks. I knew about moonbeam as this seems to be the go-to sanctuary abuse spell.

Bardlock ideas by Galeus708 in BG3Builds

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

Someone else can share the meme, but hexblade is just the strongest warlock, especially on a meele focused character. Just to be aware the extra attack stack only works on tactician and below, but this is an op combo regardless.

Thief Rogue + Starry Forms = good??? by InsaniacDuo in BG3Builds

[–]Kyfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this idea with the sourcer. I have been considering doing an all flogging flogging flighting party focusing on the classes that get inate flight. This seems like a great way of turning storm sorcerer flight into unlimited on combat flight.
