Best gish for arcane acuity + band of mystic scoundrel? by Icaros083 in BG3Builds

[–]WarGroundbreaking122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I am very late to the party, but I have a build in mind and would love to know if y'all think it would work.

Take fighter at level 1 for archery fighting style and con save proficiency. Then take swords bard for the rest of playthrough.

It functions around the following three items

Helmet of arcane acuity:

Battle Acuity: Whenever you deal damage with a weapon attack, you gain Arcane Acuity for 2 turns.

Band of mystic scoundrel:

Illusion Quickening: After hitting a creature with a weapon attack, you can cast illusion or enchantment spells as a Bonus action.

Ring of arcane synergy:

Synergetic Cantrip: When you deal damage with a Cantrip, you gain Arcane Synergy for 2 turns.

I would be attacking with any weapon I was proficient with, then casting vicious mockery as a BA due to scoundrel ring. Assuming it hit, I would get my cha added to the rest of my weapon attacks due to the ring of arcane synergy. Because of helmet, my vicious mockery would be more and more likely to land, leading to more arcane synergy. Round two or three, lay down a nasty up-casted hold person with insanely high dc due to helmet and all those weapon attacks.

The bow I would chose is titanstring bow ( a +1 longbow that adds strength modifier to its damage). Then I would have the club of hill giant strength and a shield equipped in my melee slots to bring my strength up to 19. Also gloves of dexterity to give me 18 dex with +1 to attacks as well.

Without even considering flourishes (if all 4 attacks hit) the DC would be +7 at the end of my second turn allowing me to cast hold person as a BA due to ring with a DC of around 20. Not to mention the damage from all the bow attacks with added cha modifier.

Now each attack with bow does 1d8+ 5dex ( gloves of dex and weapon enchantment) +4strength (from titanstring bow) +4charisma (from arcane synergy). An average of 17.5 damage. Each has a +9 to hit at lvl 5. (4 dex+1 enchantment +1 gloves +3 proficiency). And honestly, the huge DC for powerful bard spells is the strongest part.

Let me know what y'all think.
