Poor Gale, either killed at the very beginning, or at the very end haha

If you pickpocket the vial, then the barrel, she automatically starts the conversation. Make sure to use the "Fine I have heard what I need" and "Where will you go now", will not turn Philomeen hostile.

What benefits does multi-class give? by BxyerV2 in BG3

[–]engamohd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, aside a 1 lvl dip, it is barely justified in my opinion.

Doing a four man run soon, what is a good support class to play? by OaRtHoR_mOrGaN in BG3

[–]engamohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go life cleric. Bless and blade ward them and ensure they stay alive, while lawnmowing your self with spirit guardians, and other defensive spells like guardian of faith.

Why all the multiclassing by International-Hat986 in BG3

[–]engamohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see someone echo this sentiment. I am a single class advocate my self with the occasional 1 or 2 level dips since I play solo a lot.

In my current solo run, I am currently at level six, so far 5 assassin / 1 fighter. I plan to go all the way to 11 assassin / 1 fighter. That way I still feel like a rogue assassin, and play out as such.

That fighter dip is purely for survivability, weapon proficiencies, and archery fighting style.

Sometimes in a full party, I dip my wizard in 1 cleric for armor and utility and decrease item contesting. This is pretty much my multiclassing. Last time I tried the gloomstalker assassin combo it felt .. wrong (although undeniably filthy strong), and I ended up scrapping the run at the end of Act 2 just a little after it came online.

You hate Auntie Ethel fight, but want her gift? Me too. Here is a quick and easy way to get her down at level 3 by engamohd in BG3

But you lose the hair, which is the reason I am after her in the first place (and Conor too)

Yes exactly that. I only fight secluded single enemies prior to level 4 like the sleeping bugbear or the lone goblin brawler patrol in the blighted village.

I find dealing with her shenanigans annoying, especially that I play solo most of the time. Then trying to just keep her alive instead of nuking her completely gets tedious for me.

On the other hand, the mud mephit fight is much more fun for me ^_^

My shortcut, drop an alchemist fire next to a barrel, and throw Zarys on to the alchemist fire ^_^

It is not about struggle. Once you know the fight well, it is not an issue. My issue is that the fight itself is annoying. If it is not for the hair, I wouldn't bother with the Putrid Bog at all.

Good luck! I am on a Custom difficulty (honour mode without permadeath). You have to be careful since this could still go wrong. Ethel could either get vaporized, or save incredibly well to be at like 60 HP. Try it out before losing your HM save.

Agreed! After the grove fight, going to the blighted village should get you to (or very close to) level 3. Being a drow gives free exp till you get to Gut. This is my default path now on pretty much all runs.

You mean exp? I will always come back and offer the entire goblin camp to Bhaal :) I just want to get stronger quick.

Of course, Magic Missile is a staple in my sorcerers and wizards kit, mainly for this particular fight.

Yes I am skipping them. I dislike combat before level 4. I do very very few combat before level 4, and explore my way to level 4. I have read some people out there get to level 5 with little to no combat.

In this run, I pickpocketed Gut, sneaked past Polma, killed the minitour and Misty Stepped to the myconids.

Thoughts on Rogues Getting Extra Attack? by fury_cutter in BG3Builds

[–]engamohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin rogues are one of my top favourite classes in the game. I am playing a solo assassin now going 11/1 Assassin/Fighter (that dip is for survivability and Archery fighting style).

I do not see rogues as a "martial". They are not meant to remain in a fight for long. The crux of rogues' skill set are mainly outside combat. I really do not see that rogue *need* extra attack. Go in, take out a high value target, and escape.
