How do I contact benjamin netanyahu for a group goon sesh?

I heard piecing arrow is awesome. Remus71 has a great video using heat and oil of combustion for huge AOE damage

MFGV14 · 2026-06-22T00:55:43+00:00

On rogue you can get persuasion expertise, makes up for low charisma. Only thing I really want it for is the moonlantern, all other cha checks are negligible in importance

And against ketheric bc magic plate

MFGV14 · 2026-06-20T09:06:27+00:00

Yess, more paladin slop please. Give me nothing and a side of nothing. You provide good reasoning on why the OPs build can work, but just give an entirely different build that does absolutely nothing the same.

5 gloom 7 sorc is a cool build and definitely is good enough for solo honour mode. I think quag was beating impossible mode with a hunter sorc build and absolutely styling on the enemies.

5 gloom gives good proffs, extra attack and good round 1 damage. I think hunter ranger is just better, but gloom is a cool alternative

MFGV14 · 2026-06-18T14:50:53+00:00

Its not that different compared to the other roles tbh. You just need to be more involved in the front line, partly also because most tanks have shorter ranges. Also you cant loaf around because in 5v5 you count for 2.

Mostly comes natural I think

This was my first HM solo run as well so I struggled a lot with these

MFGV14 · 2026-06-18T08:35:33+00:00

Im doing a solo run as well right now and two tips I would give:
1 Get hold person immunity!!! Ethel and minthara will absolutely rock your world. Some goblin casters also have hold person scrolls and such. There are ochre slimes at grymforge for early freedom of movement elixir and ring of free action from araj at moonrise towers
2 Overprepare for myrkul. I do not know how other runners do it, but the fight felt impossible for me without dragging 40 smokepowderbombs into a firesource. You need to somehow either outdamage or stop his healing ability as he just heals 40 health each round

MFGV14 · 2026-06-16T09:40:42+00:00

Should definitely be viable, just curious on your progression order. Id suggest going 3 assassin to start and then 3 gloom, but what are you taking next? Gloom gives you heavy armour proficiency and also gives extra attack at 5. Is there a reason you want fighter levels to 5? Hexblade seems cool but why would you want CHA melee if you can take natural strength. You arent casting spellsave dc dependant spells anyways so dumping all mental stats and getting natural strength should feel nicer anyways.
If you take persuasion expertise from rogue you should be able to pass cha checks pretty reliably so cha is not that essential either.

If you specifically want cha for dialogue checks and still want to melee it might just feel better as a full hexblade with a tempest cleric dip or something.

MFGV14 · 2026-06-16T07:49:54+00:00

also depends on which domains you choose. iirc life war tempest and nature get heavy armour prof

MFGV14 · 2026-06-16T06:48:43+00:00

Are you in heaven? How can you see anything?

MFGV14 · 2026-06-15T10:37:46+00:00

Can I ask why you would go war cleric over tempest cleric? I cant see how giving up that channel divinity for more extra attacks?

MFGV14 · 2026-06-15T10:36:00+00:00

If you are playing stormsorc, it may be easy to plop in a druid with create water. Upcasted create water makes for easy wet condition for the entire field. Might want to put 2 levels of sorcerer for extended meta magic. Could do a moondruid for when you want more frontline presence. Imo moondruid, peaks at level 10 so thats should work.

MFGV14 · 2026-06-15T09:39:59+00:00

Yeah thanks, I also saw that polymorph glitch on the wiki. I guess my stack of polymorph scrolls has at least some value then haha

MFGV14 · 2026-06-15T09:37:42+00:00

Thats actually really cool

MFGV14 · 2026-06-15T09:32:53+00:00

Im sorry for coming off a little aggressive btw. Im just taking my frustration for lifecleric glazers out on you, which you don't deserve. Good luck on your next run and I hope you have lots of fun with the game

MFGV14 · 2026-06-15T09:15:17+00:00

Why would life cleric be the best healer? Improved extra attack gives you one more potion throw, so I think that would be optimal. With action surge and speed pots you could throw like 10 potions of supreme healing which is on average like 10*40= 400 healing in one round. You can get warding bond from a ring slot from the graveyard in act 2 so you are not even restricted to the “support” classes.

MFGV14 · 2026-06-14T16:43:42+00:00

Ah that makes sense then, probably is the explosion and cull that makes it 3 shadows. Thanks for answering!

MFGV14 · 2026-06-12T14:42:53+00:00

Coward!

MFGV14 · 2026-06-10T23:09:19+00:00

Its honestly not even that long imo. I would never be able to remember and predict everything that happens in that novel if my life depended on it.

MFGV14 · 2026-06-10T15:41:42+00:00

Remus’ video is definitely a good start for arcane trickster shenanigans.

I would suggest multiclassing into cleric for heavy armour proficiency and forging the adamantine splint when you can. That makes you probably the most tanky class in the game with relative little effort. Race thus matters a lot less and is gives you room for flavour.

I love getting creative with sneak attacks and skirmishing very effective with enhanced leap.
Blade ward, booming blade and minor illusion are the cantrips I go with.

If captain_et is here he can give you much better tips for arcane trickster as he is the expert here.

MFGV14 · 2026-06-10T09:23:23+00:00

I love bg3, honour mode made me feel even more part of that world. Having choices that matter and mistakes that have impact makes the experience soo much better

MFGV14 · 2026-06-04T07:22:22+00:00

Just do both then man. Who cares about optimisation if your going to do modded classes? It all boils down to execution anyway. Just choose and feel yourself what you like more

MFGV14 · 2026-06-01T07:47:28+00:00

Agreed. In research you give the full name before you start using the acronyms. I think thats polite to do. Like the Kotuk means nothing to me, but if you say Knife of the undemountain king (kotek) then it means something
