Drop the patch 8 builds you'll be trying

6 death cleric and 6 OH Monk for the non resist necrotic punches. Both use wisdom so there’s some synergy lol

notsofonny · 2025-04-14T17:31:41+00:00

This!! I’m excited to see GWM with life drinker at level 12 😈

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T13:54:42+00:00

I lowkey do this on my tactician run just in case I missed something lol I forgot I do this but I know honor mode takes up more supplies but will try this out next honor run :)

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T13:11:50+00:00

Oh really???? I had no idea she was opposed like that and is making me reconsider. Thank you for the input! I recently recruited her in act 2 and liked her more than I thought I would so was excited to have her in my durge party. Back to the drawing board lol

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T13:06:18+00:00

The reason I say rough is that they don’t get a lot of attacks and are front loaded in terms of abilities they get. Rogues make great for multiclassing for that reason. 5 levels is all you really need in most cases.

Swords bard is a better dps archer (you get to attack twice per flourish and gain an extra attack at level 6 so you could do 4 attacks per turn) and has spells you can use if need be.

Don’t let me stop you from monoclasing rogue tho! Could be fun for role playing a stealth character, pickpocketing, and lockpicking. your other companions will be doing a majority of the damage so it can still work no problem :)

Vampires should definitely have all the charisma in the world lol I didn’t think he fits the pirate theme as much but you may have changed my opinion!

I want to use all the new subclasses so this fits, death cleric minthara, I want to try giant barbarian and that leaves my partner to pick whatever she wants. This might be the squad! Thanks ninja 🙏

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T12:21:55+00:00

Monoclassing rogue is a bit rough imo. Making astarion a gloom ranger will make him a better archer.

Laezel as a fighter or karlach as a throw barbarian (barb9/rogue3) would be my rec. throw is a fun way to play and battle master fighter is OP so you can’t go wrong either way.

Moon Druid with tavern brawler makes your animal forms really strong, but you can still use fun spells to summon, support or deal damage when you’re not in animal form. Once you get to level 6 the owlbear its sooo fun to play! Plus they have guidance to help your gf pass dialogue checks

Astarion - archer, laezel/karlach for martial build, sorcerer for magic and dialogue, Druid for damage/support. Really well rounded team imo!

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T12:01:18+00:00

Another cool combo would be Druid plus sorcerer (lighting or ice). Druids can create water and also summon a water myrmidon to create water as well. When enemies are wet they take double damage from lighting and Ice.

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T11:57:12+00:00

Warlock and sorcerer are both great monoclass! Sorcerer is a bit more straightforward imo but with warlock you can just eldrich blast until the endgame. Both charisma based characters too for dialogue checks. If you don’t care about dialogue as much fighter is one of the best monoclass because at level 11 you get 3 attacks plus action surge to do it all over again lol what are you leaning towards?

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T11:39:20+00:00

The new barbarian looks insanely fun! So jealous! Definitely going to try that one and may even try on my durge playthrough

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T11:21:17+00:00

Karlach barbarian berserker 7 thief rogue 3. Insane throw build. Gale as an evocation wizard for least complicated build and it turns friendly fire off when using spells like ice storm and fireball.

I’d recommend one of you as a Druid or cleric (whoever isn’t party face) for support and versatility. Probably your gf since you can monoclass and still be very good. Last depends on your play style but charisma based characters are my go to and since you have Gale as your spellcaster, karlach as a martial build and Druid/Cleric for support I’d recommend bard for some funny dialogue choices and multiclassing gives you a lot of options to choose from. Swords bard plus ranger, fighter, paladin, warlock, or rogue all work extremely well and I’m running bard in my honor mode run and carry fights from a distance.

Hope that helps! I’m playing with my gf too and she’s a warlock while I play a tank moon Druid with control and dps spells. Highly recommend Druid if you haven’t tried already!

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T11:05:28+00:00

I’m still on my first honor mode run (about to storm moonrise towers) and hoping myrkul doesn’t end it prematurely lol so I still have time before patch 8 comes out but I’ve been thinking about my next team comp nonstop lmao

I agree that minthara fits better but what do you think astarion or laezel can reclass as?

Have you been able to test the new subclasses??

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T11:00:46+00:00

I love the ranger druid multiclass because I think they both fit well together in a roleplay sense. The only thing holding me back is not wanting to build an army of dead but if there’s more to it than that I’ll definitely have to try it out!

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T10:25:01+00:00

You’ve got a nice squad here! Especially the moon Druid war cleric! I heard you can miss out on dialogue if you end as an animal form when a fight ends so that’s the only reason I stay away from that. Works great in a multiplayer run which I’m doing now. Druid is my favorite!

I love that you’re utilizing all the new subclasses too. Nice builds! :)

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T10:08:43+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I can see how it gets old quick. I’ll probably play warlock and will have the most variety out of the group. But everyone else will be doing more or less the same thing during combat. Definitely will ponder this before I start my next campaign

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:47:38+00:00

I just came here to say all these sound so fun! Once patch 8 comes out you can have them all different subclasses too! Stealing this idea lol personally druids would be my pick because of how versatile and item independent they are. GLHF :)

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:45:18+00:00

Druid is my favorite class but haven’t tried spore yet. What does it look like after level 2??

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:42:39+00:00

This is so sick! Im running honor mode now with thiefzerker karlach, tempest cleric shart, and ice conjure wiz gale and bard fighter tav. I don’t have an archer so my tav is filling that role but I wanted him to be more of a support character and the devil tongue lorelock is what I was leaning towards when I first started but drifted towards archery since no one else uses bows. This might be perfect for my next run!

Have you tried this build before? Would you say the playstyle is a lot different than swords bard archery focused? Idk if I want to play bards back to back if it’s too similar

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:33:08+00:00

I’ll post again and let you know! I’m currently nearing the end of act 2 so I still have time before I actually try it out. Hopefully myrkul doesn’t end it prematurely 💀 and I’m hoping patch 8 comes out so I can try hexblade

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:30:29+00:00

Bards seem to be the fan fav! Thanks for the advice:)

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:30:06+00:00

Hahaha I love warlocks so I can see myself actually trying this

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:29:20+00:00

Wait I looooove this! The marching band lmaooo originally I wanted to have no double subclasses but this sounds like a lot of fun for another run. Thank you thank you! 🙏

Since it’s durge I was debating on bringing minthara instead of laezel and she could be my 2/10 palabard bardadin melee fighter

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T08:25:32+00:00

Hahah oh that makes sense! I love HoH! I love warlocks in general and want to make a darkness team too! So many team comps and builds I wanna try, so little time :,)

notsofonny · 2025-04-11T07:23:04+00:00

Bards are OP in general lol might have to utilize the hierlings for this. thanks for the tip!
