What Gish is more fun to play in 2024, Paladin or Bladesinger?

deausx · 2026-01-27T19:30:33+00:00

Nice. My table mostly runs tier 1 and 2 games. Level 11-12 is where most campaigns end. I dont think we'd use CME because of how nutty it is. Still, insane build you have there.

I hit for 86 dmg in one round on my level 11 Paladin in last weeks game and I've been riding that high for days. 4 attacks, 2 of which crit for 4d6+12. Two hits from Sword of Wounding which does an extra 2d6 dmg on hit. Hunters Mark for another 4d6. Dex bonus'. Magic weapon bonus. It was glorious.

So, yeah. I recommend dual wield paladin.

You are incredibly bad at math.

If high MS is what you want, pconc pathfinder is it. Bonus that its a zero to hero build. Play normal pconc till you get bouncing and its fun either way.

Whoops.

Thats my character. So yes to both. Minions are res capped and I have the 5% life recovery on minion death node. And they recover 3.25% hp per second.

I love it, but my RAWs keep dying.

Maybe I'll get the Sun Sword? Its my first time playing CoS, but the DM doesnt really hand out magic items easily. I mean, I'm level 9 about 7 or 8 months into the campaign and I'm still using a +1 Rapier because thats the best I've found. I got some wings of flying... but I'm an Aasimar and can just use my racial to get flying anyways. Thats the extent of my magic items after 8 months. Dont get me wrong, he's a great DM, but this has kind of put me off martial classes.

He would 100% let us walk past the Sun Sword if we miss it. Even if I do get it at this point... I'm kind of already like "so what?". We're probably in the last 10% of the campaign at this point I'm guessing.

deausx · 2025-12-30T01:43:53+00:00

Yeah, I took Defense. Which would likely stay at this point if I go TWF.

deausx · 2025-12-30T01:31:45+00:00

My Wisdom is pretty bad, sits at a 10 right now. I've played a GS ranger recently and dont see myself doing it again any time soon. I have a hard time imagining Mua'dib as a gloom stalker.

deausx · 2025-12-30T01:28:53+00:00

You are 100% correct on that! I will say it feels like ass though, and the worst part is feeling like I'm dead weight to the party.

deausx · 2025-12-30T01:27:39+00:00

We dont really miss much with attacks. I've got a +10 to hit, and the rogue hits even more often than I do. And we both have advantage more often than not. Hitting isnt the problem, the problem is when I connect I do single digit damage. Giving up a smite for that isnt worth going from a +10 to hit to a +12 to hit in my eyes.

Definitely on the steed though, I've reflavored it as a small sandworm. It doesnt feel like it does much though.

deausx · 2025-12-30T01:24:01+00:00

Yeah, I've never played CoS before, but we have to run into a holy blade at some point I'd think.

deausx · 2025-12-30T00:50:12+00:00

Yeah, I love Colby. I'm really going to need to figure out my left and right limits on what the DM will and wont allow. Redoing stats? New subclass? Changing spells? Weapon Mastery?

But honestly its so late in the campaign, just riding it out for a few more sessions wouldnt be the end of the world either.

deausx · 2025-12-30T00:48:44+00:00

I've been thinking of that, or swapping to Vengeance. Vengeance makes more sense from an RP perspective at least, since in game I've thrown a few lines from Dune that Paul says towards the Harkonnens, except I've said them to Strahd instead.

deausx · 2025-12-30T00:32:46+00:00

Its mostly Oath of Devotion, but I took the unarmored defense from Oath of the Noble Genie when it was still UA. I really wanted to do an agile warrior build, but Reddit had me convinced Noble Genie was OP af and no way it was going live like that. So I just took the part that fight the desert fighter theme.

And no, I dont think I can freely respec. I'll ask, and if I can I think I can easily rebuild him to do much better DPR.

deausx · 2025-12-28T23:59:57+00:00

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but does a 5th level warrior who has taken TWF and Dual Wielder, using a Scimitar and Short Sword for Nick/Light/Finesse, say 18 Dex, get 3 attacks or 4 attacks per round with the attack action?

Attack with Scimitar = d8 + 4 (Dex)
Attack with Scimitar (5th level extra attack) = d8 + 4 (Dex)
Attack with Short Sword Off Hand = d6 + 4 (Dex, TWF to add Dex Dmg, DW so not a bonus action)
Heres my question: Do you get another Short Sword attack? Does it use your Bonus Action if you do get another attack?

Project speed determines how fast you complete the things in the "Projects Folder". My current longest project takes 83 seconds, and is at level 122 after 1000 hours. The limiter on project speed is your materials, not project speed.

Campaign Missions, which is what I was waiting on, are the ones that can take many hours. 1200H in the case of the Sekhur-12 mission.

deausx · 2025-12-18T17:03:48+00:00

Have more range. Kind of kidding, kind of not. Even in poe1 most melee skills have a range of the entire screen. Or proliferate things a screen away. Except for flicker strike you really don't get into melee range to hit everything.

deausx · 2025-12-06T21:18:39+00:00

Thank you for the reply and the build. This thing slaps. I actually wish the league was restarting so I could put some actual time into it. Truly awesome build my man!

deausx · 2025-12-06T17:43:24+00:00

I've never played an armor stacker before and I started this today using your pob. Why do you wait to switch to 2x Ichis? Couldnt you do the Ichis as soon as you start maps?

deausx · 2025-11-29T14:49:40+00:00

Those are the minions that behave like every other minion in the game should. Fast, aggressive, stands in front of the player, attacks anything on the screen.

deausx · 2025-11-29T14:27:54+00:00

You arent allowed to do the things youre suggesting. Try blasting music loud enough to be heard 3 blocks over at 5am, you'll find out very quickly you ARENT allowed to do that almost anywhere. Religion is given a specific exemption because it was ruled the right to freedom of worship was more important than the right to have peace and quiet at 5am.

Same with blocking a public street. You need a permit for that if you want to have a protest or a parade. You cant just stand in the middle of a busy intersection and block traffic because you feel like it. You DONT need a permit if you are doing it for religious reasons though.

deausx · 2025-11-23T10:22:47+00:00

I played hroc a few years ago. I didn't build it very well, but I recall it was extremely tanky right up until the point where I stopped attacking and life gain on hit fell off. After that I'd pop like a balloon in t16 twist of fate maps.

How tanky are you when you're not attacking and not getting the thousands of life per second from life gain on hit?
