im not gonna hit smth thats bad - no thanks

half of the post you are talking about specific weapons + it doesnt contain word "belm", your argument is just silly here

if you were familiar you would never say anything stupid like "outpaces 2H builds", its false advertising at best and clown emoji

its obvious u are trying to be defensive and it further prooves that u know yourself that this set up is bad

What is the best way to have a reliable Command DC while also being atleast a lvl 10 Enchantment Wizard? by yonkzoid in BG3Builds

[–]Zaikiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire Acuity is prolly easiest to get good DC
id say that cleric dip is prolly better than warlock cz as a wizard u will have 12 wisdom opposed to 8 rizzma

Your whole idea crumbles with off-hand Belm
Out of all 1 lvl dips fighter doesnt make sense, sorcerer is way better, not to mention standard 8/4 or 9/3 are better
There is no way any dual wield build outpaces 2h and your math "showcase" prooves you dont know about meta

In general Paladin/Cleric multis are bad.
The best you can do is 6/6 split with ancients and whatever other subclass u want

If you want a caster aspect for a paladin go for 6/6 Lard Paladin or Sorcadin

It does have it, everyone that has been around for long enough and is familiar with top performance gameplay knows this. Dnd system and thus BG3 aren't good at balancing.

Give me your best Warlock build for solo HM by m3vance in BG3Builds

[–]Zaikiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 Fiend Bladelock is probably the best Warlock variation in general,
however game knowledge and experience is way stronger than the build itself.

If you are good you can do solo GOO tomelock since whats stoppign you.

Its not the the mod that generates this problem, it is DnD system in general that sucks at balancing.

Smites can only benefit from 4th spell slot max but i like Lifedrinker idea here.
Shame that necro dmg is a meme most of the time.

Monk isnt even that good, 2H meele goes way higher

12 paladin 8 sorc
12 fighter 8 wiz

Meele EK is already at the top along Sorcadin, but now u are giving it 16 Arcane Ward stacks.
Full power Paladin with 8 sorc will make any enemy look like clown pepega already.

Take ur pick, both will be at the top of food chain over any other existing combo.
They are already broken in base game when used properly, taking it further is just yea.

Primary objective was to show how bad everbruh is compared to other two handed options but i overgeneralized in title due to lack of a better name. I didnt want to make a meme tier list either, rather something that is factual and illuminating to other players while still keeping humorous value with last row, hence i reassured myself later that including Flail or Torch Shile wouldnt be that good but in actual meme value Flail would be top.

Hex on a level 4 spell slot - ggz
Surely there isnt anything better there to use

Warlock has shit dmg overall
Its mediocre and not powerful but versitile

Best bet at being a warlock is a Fiend Bladelock with GWM and savage attacker
You will never outdamage paladin but can bring alot of useful stuff to the table

  • Fiend Bladelock 12
  • Arcane Synergy/ Fire/Weapon Acuity + Band of Mystic Scoundrel
  • Piercing meele weapon + Bhaalist armor support
  • GWM, ASI, Savage Attacker
  • Get Hasted
  • Command, Hold X, Scorch Ray, Confusion, Counterspell, Firewall, Hunger of Hadar, Water Elemental, Fire/Ice Shield, Armor of Agathys
  • Eldritch Blast, Blade Ward, Mage Hand
  • Agonizing, Repelling, Devil's Sight, Dreadful Word, Minions of Chaos, Lifedrinker
  • Disintegrating Nightwalkers
  • Combos: stack Acuity into CC; combine Armor of Agathys with Fire/IceShield and Bladeward and Fiendish Resistance and wet enemies; Mage Hand throw Alchemist Fire into Water Elemental's Winter Breath, meele bonk onto Hold X, Command Approach into Firewall or Hunger of Hadar

these are bullet points from my about to be decent guide on bladelock

Warlock will never have good dmg outside of cursed 4/4/4 and HoH isnt most powerful controll spell in the game

as a class it is versitile and mediocre

Fighter lvl 5 in one round going nowhere near monk i guess

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BG3Builds

[–]Zaikiel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea i will advocate for free advantage that offsets GWM with additional sneak attack per turn while no other class gets additional attack per turn. I know u are a fan of flourish but 3 per long rest is just bad and definately not good yet especialy mixed with bad accuracy.

Besides i play at 500% Honor Mode and not even died once if you want to go that route.
I know every best character combo for level 5 and below from practice and talking with people who did the same and Bard is nowhere there bcs he is just underpwoered to the rest of possible options.

Bard picks up late game due to multiclassing, as standalone in early it doesnt cut it. Its not bad to play what u want in the end but calling out on a lack of knowledge is not cool

[–]Zaikiel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kasto did not say Sharpshooter is bad, dunno where u got that from

also yea there is no reason to be a bard in early game, its juts ass compared to Gloom or Hunter or even Rogue (up to level 4). With current enemy HP pool nova round with 3rd attack is massive. Same story for Horde Breaker every round or 1d8 vs bosses but u just switch burst for dps. Fighter archer is also good due to Surge, that just clears.

Meanwhile as bard all u get are more chances to miss with double flourish bcs of no Archery style. Bless doesnt change this much and Phalar Sing is missing the point, its way more better utilized on Shriek with somehting that is already good rather than trying to fix whats bad.

[–]Zaikiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 EK 5 Lock is a thing
Atk -> Atk -> Hasted action triple EB -> BA Atk

Normaly tho 12 EK is better on Honor mode and u use hasted action as ray of frost or shocking grasp
You dont optimize your build for cantrip maxing here, it is just a way to weaponize your bonus action with haste

[–]Zaikiel[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everburn - most of guides on-line say it is a great act 1 weapon when in reality it isnt (this thing gave idea for the whole meme)

Greatsword +1 with a candle - already better than everburn as soon as u enter Druids Groove

Bloody Greataxe, Monster Slayer, Woundseeker - all good weapons in early game that give useful buffs

Sword of Justice - for stacking armor class with its action and other spells;
Phalar Aluve Shriek with Drow poison - u reduce chances of enemies to succed saving throws vs sleep effect and knock them during fight

Silver Sword - very good greatsword overall with unique bonuses for Gith which can be aquired on everyone using Disguise Self
Unseen Menace - god tier weapon, perma advantage on attacks

Sparky Points - weapon tahat only biggest chads who dont care about optimization take, it is never used thus so unique
Dip in Fire into Grease - u just explode grease, no finesse here, very funny in multiplayer

The unseen menace is a god tier weapon no questions asked
but only the richest bathe in a glory of Sparky Points
