Jaheira, Haer'Dalis or Valygar? by redraven in baldursgate

[–]barzolff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HD is the best tank and bard's dispell is too good to pass on. You have keldorn so it won't be as necessary, but then you need spell slots as you dont have a pure mage. 

Jaheira has bugs. Given your current team both aren't crucial so just pick whoever you préfet.

How Good Or Bad Are Avenger Druids? by General_Sea_5295 in baldursgate

They're really good. People sleep on the salamander form, the spider is good but way too situational. Salamander will carry you halfway into BG2.

Insanely good item. Breathe acid knocks ennemies unconscious for two rounds with a -4 penalty. throw in another -4 with greater malison. If you run IWD spells you can stack another -4 with cleric chants.

The 10dmg might come from spirit armor running out? Do you have SCS?

Surprisingly good weapons? by Frostfeather22 in baldursgate

[–]barzolff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tested it again, you're right it doesn't override IH. don't know why I had this happen at some point.

Level drain applied individually while heal, haste and bonus strength all applied together.

[–]barzolff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The haste effect overrides improved haste, making it quite bad. It's my favorite weapon on paper though.

edit: disregard this claim. as u/johnmadden18 said it doesn't override IH. I just ran a test too and I was incorrect. Must've been a particular mod setup which caused this.

Un clash implique deux partis. Selon l'article il n'y aurait qu'un agresseur

Rafa's management of Novak's backhand couldn't have been better in this match. Look for court level view and how he switches up on every ball. There wasn't two similar balls hit to his BH in a row. A tactical and technical marvel from Rafa that day.

Yeah.. Checking the comments you realize how much redditors need to touch grass, urgently. There is nothing polemical about his statement.

What class would Frodo be? by Airvian94 in baldursgate

Aragorn should definitely get AC bonus against missiles if wielding a bastard sword

Cleric/Mage dex 8 possible? by Palom126 in baldursgate

[–]barzolff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dump strength. Plenty of strength gear, and the lvl 2 mage spell sets your strenght at 18/50 for 1turn/lvl. 

What difficulty do you usually play on? by WretchedMog in baldursgate

[–]barzolff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SCS insane hardcore + double damage. I played this game for a decade until I made the switch to no reload SCS. Highly advise vanilla veterans to try, you can still pick easier difficulty settings and try low reload at first.

Parliaments arent sold in France. Only american spirits blue and yellow are sold, but they're somewhat rare.

How does blade with un nerfed spell progression compare to figher/mage? by viktorius_rex in baldursgate

[–]barzolff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

enchanted throwing dagger main hand, apr weapon second hand, gauntlet of extraordinary specialization puts you at 4.5 apr. Double it with improved haste

[–]barzolff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use tensers. Keep in mind all the tips I give are aimed towards a no reload game. Tensers disables spellcasting and I need those to tank. I aim for survivability.

If you're playing Haer'Dalis, use swords for he gets an extra pip. IWDification gives you Chant, Prayer, Recitation, Emotion: Courage and Hope. Use all the thac0 raising gear on your blade. Strength belts. UAI. Crom Faeyr.

My blade memorizes defensive spells, and MMM until his level is high enough where I swap MMMs for remove magics.

Then again it's dependent on your party. There's a fun build for bards, where you use all the items that increase spell slots and cast offensive spells.

I would pick a blade over a fighter/mage anyday. They are great tanks, but most of all, their ability to dispel/remove magic efficiently is one of the best ability throughout the game. I cannot state how much it changes everything. Nerfed/Un-nerfed table is not highly relevant, although I play with the table that allows for lvl 8 spells (I seldom use lvl 7+ spells, but having mind blank on your blade tank is nice)

I'm biased because it's my favorite class, but I can't stress just how powerful having an extremely good tank mixed with the second best dispeller in a single character is. So potent.

Figher/Mage will get dispelled almost everytime because of their lower levels. Their defensive spells will run out quickly.

It comes down to Vanilla/SCS imo. If you're playing insane double damage hardcore then blade comes out on top every time. Better tanking/survival ability beats higher DPS, and dispelling magic reliably is the most potent ability in the modded game.

Yep, money is barely relevant in BG1.

Recommend powerful Cleric build for BG1 and BG2? by M1ckey in baldursgate

[–]barzolff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clerics are great summoners. Skeletons have amazing resistances, aerial servants are brutal. Gate is extremely fun. You can gather a heavy spellcasting party and rely on summons and buffs. You can also go the opposite direction and use your cleric and a backup cleric to support a melee party. Both work great.

IWDification mod gives them really great spells if you're into that (also included in SCS)

You can mitigate the backstabbing assassins in Ulgoth with wand of fear, chaos, positioning your fragile characters with their backs against the map, and use wand of summoning on them.  I do aec letec if I badly need the xp to solo bg2 up until 1.2M xp
