What about monk instead or sorc. Does t monks unarmored defense by wisdom work with animal forms? Also what about bracers of defence does that transfer to beastform?
Just a small correction for Flaming Sphere, it does NOT cost a Bonus Action on following rounds to direct the sphere further; the sphere itself is a summon and uses its own Action as an attack.
Oh shit man you're totally right.. I don't k ow why I did that. That's the second time I've made that mistake about flaming sphere. Thanks for keeping me honest bro!
Flaming Sphere is fantastic in Acts 1 and 2. It soaks up damage, blocks access (makes chokepoints), and sheds light. It also does a little damage as a bonus. It's good action efficiency, IMHO.
I would have never known that if you hadn't commented it. I've never used the spell IRL and just assumed I would have to blow a bonus action on meh damage. But honestly as a summon, worth a spell slot
Problem with flaming shere is the same problem with spiritual weapon; it has terrible movement speed, and isn't reliable at hitting. It's only really good if you set up plant growth to keep them from completely disengaging with it, so you can atleast get the end of turn damage somewhat reliably.
Another good staff for outside wildshape and especially shillaleigh - the mourning frost staff. For whatever reason, it does a lot more melee damage than most other staffs. Also gives moon Druid a distance cantrip which is nice IF you did not use the sorcerer level. Which, is genius, by the way. Never have I ever thought to do that.
I really like that you give the synopsis at the beginning of all of your videos and that you use chapters. I really appreciate both of those. Also, I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to mention this, but the defense fighting style also carries over into wildshape for some reason.
I love the summary at the beginning of each episode. It makes me want to watch the whole episode, to help you, because you helped me by giving a summary, please keep making content!
Great video and thumbs up !!! Moon Druid is so far my favorite subclass in BG3. It's a fun, versatile class, and it fills 2 key functions really well : tank and area/zone control. And, when a tank is not needed, the non-tanky wild shapes and other spells keep it quite effective. One thing I think you should stress more is the how the wild shape is a "free" damage sponge usable 2 or 3 times per short rest. Even if/when the wild shape is knock to 0 hit points, the Druid is not downed, but popped back into normal mode with full HP. Just wild shape again. And , you get wild shape charges every short rest. It's a fantastic damage sponge. And, between the Druid's own spells and the summon's spells, it's the best zone/area control subclass in the game. Being able to cast zone/area of control spells from 4 entities in a turn (non-hasted) from a single party member slot is huge.
This is really enjoyable. I have been thinking of a Githyanki 1 Wizard / 11 Moon Druid Tav for a while now. The Githyanki gives Astral Knowledge so that he can be a decent face of the party. It is not the best combat choice, but it lets you do most of your talking with your main character.
I think it's important to note that elixirs work in wildshape form. Elixir of blood lust, or an elixir of cloud giant strength really puts moon druid on a different level. Cloud giant strength for +20 to hit, and +16 damage (+24 if you use dino form, acid is a damage rider).
the other perk to the saber tooth wildshape is that’s its normal “bite” attack also has a chance to knock prone then you can hit it with jugular strike and get the bonus damage
I'm mid playthrough with a moon druid right now, what a fun coincidence. My build is 1 War Cleric for bless and bonus action attack while wildshaped, 1 Draconic Sorcerer at level 7-8 for Agathys and con saves, 10 moon druid to get improved wild strikes
The fighter gets constitution save proficiency too. If you go fighter first, you get the d10 hit die, all weapon and armor proficiencies, and the CON save. Take two-weapon fighting so you have two attacks at level 1 when you run out of wildshapes.
Take 10 levels moon druid,1 sorcerer white draconic like he said for armor of agathis and draconic armor on wilshape with less than 13 ac and finally 1 level warpriest for warpriest charge and martial weapon proeficiency for the elemental wildshapes other than earth.
I have about 400 hours on this game and finished it in honour mode, people never fail to amaze me with the builds and strategies they come up with. I watch your vids religiously at this point. Keep it up brother
@@kwuserfriendly1769 I highly encourage you to try honour mode friend. It's a different kind of thrill! Or at least try a custom difficulty mode with legendary actions enabled. It's amazing
Melf's First Staff can be your first staff as well, until you get the Staff of Spellpower. It has the same bonuses, but instead of Arcane Battery it just adds Melf's Acid Arrow, but the bonuses are what matter. It's sold by Burg in the Myconic Colony
I like to take 1 dip into War Cleric, as you can use charges in wildshape and maintain spell slot progression for myrmidon summon. But that is probably because i have a favorable bias towards bless. It helps fix my abysmal RNG.
Do it this way (Act 1 Spoiler Alert): Save Mirkon from the Harpies, which opens up the adult-sized door to the underground “Dragon’s Den.” Go there and ungroup your Tav. Have the Tav go back up the ladder and do a weak ranged attack on the Strange Ox. Once combat begins re-enter the “Dragon’s Den.” Regroup, go back up the ladder and talk to the Strange Ox. The dialogue leads you directly to purchasing the ring. This ox is important later…
I went full 12 druid. 2 ASI to max my wisdom to peak my spellcasting, and the tavern brawler feat, since they made it so it works while wild shaped. I use the helm that grants an extra wild shape charge, but the hood of the weave is just as viable. Moonbasking armor, as it's the only armor that works with wild shape. Amulet of greater health (I have shadowheart as a life cleric, heals are constantly there), the gloves of dex, warding bond rings (with shadowheart, my druid gains the resistance). Shadowheart is also using wapira's crown helm, so even though she's taking the half of the damage I would be taking, she's also healing herself for each person she heals... mass healing Word or cure wounds or preserve life basically always full heals her. My items also allow me to completely dump my dex and con. I have 14 str, 18 dex, 23 con, 14 int, 22 wis, 14 cha. I use the staff with arcane battery, and will use the amulet with spell restoration just for a free 6th level feast. Shadowheart aids for level 5. Longstrider on everyone. It's to the point that I wish we at least on tactician, because now even the hardest fights in the game don't even make my dick twitch. With 22 AC and a high caster modifier, I'm hard to hit and hard to resist while casting. With wild shape, it would take a small army to get through my HP pools(especially bonded) and with Tavern brawler, my owl bear form AVERAGES what's normally it's high end damage with claws... while having 3 hits per turn, rage( which that strength bonus raging just makes TB that much better) and crushing flight for another attack/close distance option. I highly recommend going full druid to max stats and still get ASI, you don't need a level of wizard or 3 levels of sorcerer for mediocre casting, when you use perilous stakes, wild shape, and wreck any boss in the game withing 3 turns without even having your actual health touched. If you want to be even better at casting, you can always take war caster over an asi, seeing as many druid spells use concentration
I have about 13 hours maybe as a moon druid on my very first playthrough and its been extremely fun, this will be helpful so i kinda know what im doing but i cant wait to get my owlbear form lol
It's such an interesting class because you are great out of the box, but you don't really g et a ton of fun gear until late game! IT'S WORTH IT THOUGHH!
Awesome video! My all-time favorite class, and I just respec’ed at L4 to live my dream. 😅 Now at L5 half the Gobbo Camp is cleared, the other half is unawares, and Halsin was just set free. Me and my “Bear Buddy” are gonna go WRECK Dror Ragzlin, and complete “Save the Refugees!” You’re so very right to encourage players to, “play what you want!” If the most, “OP early dominate _____ mode and win all encounters,” build doesn’t fire up the player’s imagination…they’re just not going to get the best BG3 experience. (Same thing holds true in TTRPGs as well!) Thank you. 👍❤️💪
If it wasn't mentioned, Halsin actually has a unique Cave Bear wildshape that unlike the normal bear has 20 strength and has a multiattack. Not sure that makes it as good as Owlbear but its worth checking out.
Something i feel a lot of people dont know about wild shapes is if u want to go pure wild shape u want to take a point in monk and a point in fighter. Here is the reason monk gets a version of unarmed defence which gives ac based of wisdom and sets ur ac to 10 as a wild shape u only carry over int wisdom and charisma. This looks weird in the ui but what it does is it gives u the 13 ac base the wild shape has -3 because it gets set to 10 then adds the 5 from wisdom giving u 15 ac then u add ur dex so u can get up to 17 ac plus with a few wild shapes then u can add a few other things lile spells for another +2 ac maybe more getting u up to 19+ ac which is really nice as for fighter u take it just for the defence fighting style for another 1 ac
Hey i am new to d and d and the game. I dont rly understand what u are saying, but u are saying i should go with 10 druid, 1 fighter, 1 monk right? Are u getting more damage from fighter or an extra Attack. Sorry english isnt my first language
@@alexwinchester8144 its more for the extra ac that u pick monk and fighter. Wild shapes already have very high damage output but they have very low ac this helps them get up to 20 ac
Thx for the great video. I am having great joy of playing druid for my first playthrough atm. It is so versatile and I am just playing straight druid atm. One thing that might be worth to take into consideration: potion of hill giant strength seems to work in wildshape as well. This helps a lot until reaching owl bear .
My plan (if they fix the tavern brawler for honour mode) is to go 1 sorc for the con save, 10 moon druid and 1 war cleric for the war charges so I get even more attacks in one turn for a while! But this was really solid and I actually quite liked the idea of going barbarian and druid! I might have to give that a try!
Hey ItalianSpartacus, I’ve been following you for some years now and just wanted to say thank you for your enthusiastic personality and great perspectives! Keep up your amazing content and inspiring videos, my morning routines would not been the same without you!🎉❤
I started my game as Moon Druid Halfling. And while having the Bear tank a lot of hits was nice. I suddenly was getting into fights where they'd down me fast. One time, they even made sure my character didn't get death saves. So I needed to revivify scroll them. I ended up switching to Spore Druid since it gave me access to more equipment and I could tank hits better. Maybe I should give this Dragon Sorc, Moon Druid build a shot and see how much farther it takes me. Thanks.
In tabletop i play a Druid/Barb and i was so excited to test it out in BG3. Unfortunately not being able to use your concentrated spell effects like moving your moombeam once in wildshape has killed this for me. Not being able to do this breaks a core part of being a moon druid :(
I just use the concentration for hold person and upcast it to whatever is my highest spell slot (or how many enemies there are) then I just go to town with 3 crits. Do the same with Gale and he got the fire arcane alacrity hat, so usually start with scorching ray then haste potion then hold person or hold monster (whichever is the one I need the most) Then I use Karlach as barb or Laezel as Battlemaster and just go to town on them with guaranted crits
For those who want to go the Barbarian route, don’t dwell too much on the lower hp of your wild shape. Rage gives resistance so practically you are doubling the health bar of your wild shape. Technically quadrupling if rage persists when knocked out of wild shape.
For Level 4 Spells, Conjure Woodland Being is a *MUST*. It's an S-tier spell and a key selling point for Druid. I would argue it's the best druid spell in the game. Having 2 more free party members *that cast unlimited area of control spells* is huge, and that you can cancel at any time is also huge. For example, you can pop spikes under enemies, then cancel right before your owl bear does its combat leap, then cast vines from the lover next. And, if the lover dies, he can be easily re-cast without resting. I've done many encounters on my Moon Druid solo in Tactical without even trying thanks to CWB. I feel like I could do a whole video on just CWB.
So, I just tested this out. The extra damage from Tavern brawler does NOT apply to wild shape in Honor mode. On Tactician or lower it does, but in Honor mode your wild shapes only get the extra bonus to attack rolls, NOT to damage. I don't know if that's a bug with Tavern Brawler in Honor mode or if it that's just how it works in Honor mode now, as part of the new rules regarding damage modifiers. Either way, it drastically reduces the benefits of the Tavern Brawler feat for Moon Druids in Honor mode. The bonus to attack rolls is nice, but without the bonus to damage your melee damage output is kind of lackluster compared to other classes. Bummer.
@@italianspartacus Yeah, I really hope this is a bug and gets fixed soon. I was so disappointed when I got to level 4, picked up the TB feat, and got no increased damage on my attacks. I think I'll either put this character on hold for a while or respec him to something else 😒
If you take Resilient Constitution later on, it makes it kind of pointless to have started as a Sorcerer. You already get proficiency in Con saves with the Resilient Con feat. So in my case, since I want to focus on Owlbear, I think I will respec and drop that Sorc level as soon as I can get that feat (obv. Tavern Brawler is the priority).
I just got Halsin to join the party in act2, figured I'd let Karlac take a break from being my tank (wildheart: Eagle with Steed, so she dashes as a bonus action and get 18 temp hp each turn, and has her own form of crushing flight that is super satisfying). Shes been an absolute monster all game, but i try to use everyone a bit, keep them geared and leved. I was starting to think Halsin was like withers, just a camp npc, until the whole shadowfell portal thing, now he's usable as a party member, but hes lvl 1, needs a stat respec, and a build. I decided to see how others had made him work as a tank. Holy crap, this guy is no joke. Im kinda mad that he's holding Karlach's spot so well. The real beauty is in the number of summons you can have out at once, then throw down a concentration effect and literally go beast mode. I also gave halsin the Quoth the Raven gloves. Hes a party by himself. My Tav is a GOO Warlock focused on CC, but always has a zombie, Shovel, and usually a pair of ice mephits running with him. Astarion has the Necromancy of Thay, so Danse Macabe will be a wonderful addition next act. Point is, having 10+ "pets" or summons is totally doable, and really effective. If everything dies before it takes a turn, you end up having to remind yourself to take long rests for story reasons, tho the party never really needs it lol. This has definitely been fun
Another fun one is Moon Druid 8/Thief 3/Sorc1. You lose the lvl 10 extra attack and wildshapes but with Owlbear you can then leap twice a turn (or shift and leap in the same turn) and have sneak attack damage. So still 4 attacks per turn. Surely not the most optimised, since you give up on higher lvl spells and wildshapes but jumping around on the battlefield and knocking things prone is a ton of fun.
The shapeshifters ring can be gotten in act 1, the strange ox is there. You will make the Tieflings mad by killing the strange ox but it can be acquired EXTREMELY early, not the easiest fight but its possible.
Okay. I have a complaint. I'm going to preface this with...I love your content for BG3 and CK3 (I love your CK3 play thoughs), and this isn't related to you alone. Every build guide I've looked at across youtube is at level 12. I get that, but when you reach 12, you're at least 1/2 way through Act 3, so the game play with max abilities and using things like haste, etc...don't really give a good feel for the leveling process. How do these builds play at lvl 4, or lvl 8, etc. some builds come online at lvl 4 and some really don't come alive until 8, but what gear should I be using at 4, or at 8...etc.
It's why I step you through each level and explain thr choices as they pertain to that point in the game :) I see where you're coming from, but I'll usually say stuff like, "at this level you're usually around this point in thr game, so you'll want to use these spells" etc.
1 dip in Wizard is an exploit that will be patched out sooner or later; 1 dip in War/Tempast domain to get heavy weapon proficiency for elemental shape. 1dip in Fighter to get proficiency and +1 AC fighting type. 2 level in sorcerer to get metamagic but give up level 6 spell (hero feast)
Lol first step to being a good moon druid: level sorcerer Man.. the fact that it says "Halsin" in the title.. I wanna be a druid but it literally gives you two druids and being in wildshapr takes away your ability to talk.
With the cow that gives you the shapeshifting boon ring. You find it in all three acts. Its in the druid grove (only drops the ring) act 2 in at the inn. (Drops ring and a hat with some gems) and in act 3 in a barn i can't remember where (only drops ring, hat, and gems.)
If you're playing with a level 10 "Icemoon" Druid, this encounter can easily be soloed in Honor Mode while the Steelwatcher is still on the battlefield. You wet everyone outside of combat - followed by a haste on yourself (which you can get from a bow) and enter turn-based mode. Two ice storms later, all the guards are down. The ranger in the background can be fought with a normal water elemental and two ice mephits (place them around him and cast ice spells on him and he will most likely gonna be on the ground). Then next turn you can transform into an Owlbear (or cast a few more spells on the Steelwatch guy), kill the Ranger if he's still around, and then do whatever you can to defeat the Steelwatcher, perhaps as Owlbear + tavernbrawler + 2 Strength from the Elixir from Moonrise Towers (it also adds strength to your shapeshifting forms). Ice also offers good control - even more with some great items you can have at this point. Taking a slow approach with a little control here and a little damage there just isn't enough for me in BG3. Destroy the weaklings and then the bigger threats - this is the easiest approach in 95 percent of all encounters. P.S. I use the shield with + 3 to initiativ and the gloves that give 18 Dex which lets you go first very often. My WIS is 20 (17 base + Hags Hair + 2 at level 8 = 20), CHA 16 (he is my Main) base DEX and STR at 8 CON 16 INT 8. +2 STR from Elixier permanant makes it 10 in human form and adds +2 to wildshape. For checks i use the headband of intellect which sets INT to 17. Until now i never had to respec - tho in the beginning, until the creche Vendor, with 8 DEX you allways gonna go last^^ But for that i have the Party.
Hmmm so I guess it's either 1 level into wizard to be able to learn all kinds of spells for utility Or 1 level into sorcerer which is probably more useful combat wise Either way i think i should seriously consider speccing into one of the two
shapeshift ring gives +1d4 only on checks and attacks are not checks, which limits its usefulness quite a lot. Though no other alternative, so might as well use it. Tbh feels like the item team was worn out once they came to making moon druid gear
Hmm, I completely don't understand the Draconic Bloodline choice. Its only going to be +1hp as its just 1 level into sorc and you still recommend wearing armor in the build so the other buff is also useless + choosing mage armor has the exact same effect. Am I missing something here?
I've been looking for this comment. I re-specced to this last night only to be extremely disappointed that the draconic defense passive didn't apply at all in wild shape while wearing the moon druid armour, because it's light armour and it still considers you as being 'armoured' while in wild shape. Idk if I'm just stupid and can't see what's going on with the stats or if this really is just a big oversight of the video.
@@AstralWeebo but then what's the point of wearing the druid light armour? May as well wear clothing instead. It's not like you'll be un-wildshaped in combat often as moon druid to get the AC benefits. All the other benefits of the armour apply in wild shape anyway.
what if you just go all moon druid and use the resilient feat to get the con sav throw profiency and also get some more hp? probably go 15 con, 17 wis for ethel hair, 11 str for tav brawler, and probably 14 dex
@@italianspartacus That isnt fully true. Some shapes (standard bearspecifically) have odd strength. There is an argument if you REALLY want to min max to go +1 from tavern brawler at level 4, then swapping to con once you get owlbear onward.
8/8/15/x/16/x 12 levels in Moon druid Feats Tavern brawler +1 strength Resilient Con Warcaster Items Helm: Haste Helm Back: N/A Armor: Armor of Moonbasking Gloves: Dexterity Gloves Boots: Boots of Striding Neck : N/A Ring1: Shapeshifter's Boon Ring Ring2 :N/A Weapon: N/A (Staff of Arcane Blessing may be an alright weapon if you want strong bless for self) Shield: Sentinel Shield Range W:HellRider Longbow Additional buffs Hag Hair +1 Strength Final stat line out of combat caster 10/18/16/x/16/x Initiative would be 10(4dex+3Shield+3Bow)+d4 By doing it this way you get +1 Attack and damage on all Strength forms, and a +1 on con for most forms that are used late game because they have an odd stat, and still will go first by simply using your first bonus action to shapeshift. With that specific gear and assuming wood elf turn one you could run 62 feet as a Sabre Tooth or 50 as a Earth Myrmidon lol. That is just me slapping it together so it may not even be the optimal 12 moon druid levels build. But interesting to look into
Hey brother, great video. Two suggestion for future videos: keep the music in the background during the full video (if possible), but mix it down like 10 decibels(dbs) when editing. In the beginning of this vid it’s a little overpowering.
A question for folks that play Druids; does your quick bars keep shifting around every time you shape shift? Or if you are using anything that changes your form, for that matter? -Thanks
in your experience, how useful is primal strike? i was thinking up an owlbear build and being a land druid (wanted certain spells) and i was wondering if this would be a critical miss.
Great and fun build. BUT there is no way this is beating just a lvl 10 moon druid At lvl 10 you get a third attack and nothing the barb gives you is even CLOSE to that let alone the other 2 levels. Id take 2 war cleric and you would absolutely stomp this build as thematic as it is
a friend of mine and me want to start a honour run together, he wants to play a moon druid. Which character of your OP Party comp video would you recommend to switch out for that?
Tavern brawler is currently not giving the strength to the owlbear form but both heavy armour and resilient:strength are. Not sure how much damage modifier you get from tavern brawler vs getting 22 strength from both heavy armor and resil:str. Would love to know which is better as I just got Halsin and I'm looking forward to using him in the party.
Forgot to state that I'm currently only level 8 so I only have access to two feats. Just realized that heavy armour, resil:str would give me 22 str and then tavern brawler at 12 would give me the modifier. Still wondering if TB is better to take right away and then wait til lvl 12 before I hit 22 str through other feats.
So, if you go lvl 3 Barbarian lvl 9 Druid, you lose out on 3rd attack in wild shape. And you have to use rage before you go into Wild Shape, which are both bonus actions...Correct? Is it worth damage wise? There is no show case for this alternative build, so I need to know things xD
the barb versions i see are mostly land druids so that the bonus action clog is minimized. most optimal i've seen is white sorc 1, barb 3, land druid 8.
Wouldnt 10 lvl in Moon Druid , 1 lvl in Sorcerer/Wizard and 1 lvl in War Cleric be good ? or cant u use your war cleric charges in wildshape ? + u would still get the lvl 6 spell cause cleric
Would only going 7 into moon druid and 5 into wild barb for the extra attack be worth the reduced health? I feel like it might be but im genuinely not sure if losing the extra level 4 slot and the feat is worth it
With 10 levels of druid, characters can make 3 attacks in wild shape, so if you're thinking of going for those barb levels only for the extra attack, then I'd personally advise against it.
Nay because you'll take on the forms strength! BUT like I say in the video, things like the hags hair buffs your strength which carries over to the wild form
Nice mate but don't think I'm calling I use your guides all the time put the music in this video is a bit too high to be able to hear your voice, less tunes, your voice is the only voice we need to hear x

I'm doing a multi player honor mode run and just hit lvl 5 with my bro and his ranger. So this was perfect 🥰💞
What about monk instead or sorc. Does t monks unarmored defense by wisdom work with animal forms? Also what about bracers of defence does that transfer to beastform?
Just a small correction for Flaming Sphere, it does NOT cost a Bonus Action on following rounds to direct the sphere further; the sphere itself is a summon and uses its own Action as an attack.
Oh shit man you're totally right.. I don't k ow why I did that. That's the second time I've made that mistake about flaming sphere. Thanks for keeping me honest bro!
@italianspartacus In tabletop 5e, the spell requires a bonus action each round to direct, so you could be mixing that up with Larian's version
Flaming Sphere is fantastic in Acts 1 and 2. It soaks up damage, blocks access (makes chokepoints), and sheds light. It also does a little damage as a bonus. It's good action efficiency, IMHO.
I would have never known that if you hadn't commented it. I've never used the spell IRL and just assumed I would have to blow a bonus action on meh damage. But honestly as a summon, worth a spell slot
Problem with flaming shere is the same problem with spiritual weapon; it has terrible movement speed, and isn't reliable at hitting. It's only really good if you set up plant growth to keep them from completely disengaging with it, so you can atleast get the end of turn damage somewhat reliably.
Another good staff for outside wildshape and especially shillaleigh - the mourning frost staff. For whatever reason, it does a lot more melee damage than most other staffs. Also gives moon Druid a distance cantrip which is nice IF you did not use the sorcerer level. Which, is genius, by the way. Never have I ever thought to do that.
OHHH! That would also key off of Armour of Agathys too!!
I really like that you give the synopsis at the beginning of all of your videos and that you use chapters. I really appreciate both of those.
Also, I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to mention this, but the defense fighting style also carries over into wildshape for some reason.

Never change🙌🏼
I love the summary at the beginning of each episode. It makes me want to watch the whole episode, to help you, because you helped me by giving a summary, please keep making content!
Great video and thumbs up !!!
Moon Druid is so far my favorite subclass in BG3. It's a fun, versatile class, and it fills 2 key functions really well : tank and area/zone control. And, when a tank is not needed, the non-tanky wild shapes and other spells keep it quite effective.
One thing I think you should stress more is the how the wild shape is a "free" damage sponge usable 2 or 3 times per short rest. Even if/when the wild shape is knock to 0 hit points, the Druid is not downed, but popped back into normal mode with full HP. Just wild shape again. And , you get wild shape charges every short rest. It's a fantastic damage sponge.
And, between the Druid's own spells and the summon's spells, it's the best zone/area control subclass in the game. Being able to cast zone/area of control spells from 4 entities in a turn (non-hasted) from a single party member slot is huge.
I love moon druid in real DnD. Nothing better than playing as a Dreugar, casting enlarge, turning into a colossal squid and 1v1 a pirate ship. XD
This is really enjoyable. I have been thinking of a Githyanki 1 Wizard / 11 Moon Druid Tav for a while now. The Githyanki gives Astral Knowledge so that he can be a decent face of the party. It is not the best combat choice, but it lets you do most of your talking with your main character.
Yay!!!! I just started a moon Druid run! Thanks for coming through to save the day again 👏🏾🫶🏾
I think it's important to note that elixirs work in wildshape form. Elixir of blood lust, or an elixir of cloud giant strength really puts moon druid on a different level. Cloud giant strength for +20 to hit, and +16 damage (+24 if you use dino form, acid is a damage rider).
Preciate you for that, bloodlust is such a great potion so I'm glad to know it'll work
the other perk to the saber tooth wildshape is that’s its normal “bite” attack also has a chance to knock prone
then you can hit it with jugular strike and get the bonus damage
I'm mid playthrough with a moon druid right now, what a fun coincidence.
My build is 1 War Cleric for bless and bonus action attack while wildshaped, 1 Draconic Sorcerer at level 7-8 for Agathys and con saves, 10 moon druid to get improved wild strikes
Great guide. I've been wanting to really try out moon druid and this has given me a great foundation to do so!
The fighter gets constitution save proficiency too. If you go fighter first, you get the d10 hit die, all weapon and armor proficiencies, and the CON save. Take two-weapon fighting so you have two attacks at level 1 when you run out of wildshapes.
Take 10 levels moon druid,1 sorcerer white draconic like he said for armor of agathis and draconic armor on wilshape with less than 13 ac and finally 1 level warpriest for warpriest charge and martial weapon proeficiency for the elemental wildshapes other than earth.
is the proficiency part still needed? or was it patched? @@Dekaldar
I have about 400 hours on this game and finished it in honour mode, people never fail to amaze me with the builds and strategies they come up with. I watch your vids religiously at this point. Keep it up brother
What is your party composition for honour mode? 😊
I just wanna know your front liner
@@Ooze74 lvl12 Oath of Vengeance paladin, 9/3 Monk/thief, lvl12 Life domain cleric and lvl12 divination wizard. Nothing too crazy really
same here :-) love the game, 500h+ and still finding new stuff and new dialoges. I only play tactic mode. maybe one day I try honor mode.
@@kwuserfriendly1769 I highly encourage you to try honour mode friend. It's a different kind of thrill! Or at least try a custom difficulty mode with legendary actions enabled. It's amazing
Melf's First Staff can be your first staff as well, until you get the Staff of Spellpower. It has the same bonuses, but instead of Arcane Battery it just adds Melf's Acid Arrow, but the bonuses are what matter.
It's sold by Burg in the Myconic Colony
I like to take 1 dip into War Cleric, as you can use charges in wildshape and maintain spell slot progression for myrmidon summon.
But that is probably because i have a favorable bias towards bless. It helps fix my abysmal RNG.
I too will bend over backwards to get bless from somewhere in my group lol
You can get the shapshifter ring in Act 1 in the druid grove, just attack the cow and it will drop as well.
Thanks, had no idea
It’s an ox not a cow
@@UFC_PICKScounterpoint, and I really mean this, *moo*
MOO!
Do it this way (Act 1 Spoiler Alert): Save Mirkon from the Harpies, which opens up the adult-sized door to the underground “Dragon’s Den.” Go there and ungroup your Tav. Have the Tav go back up the ladder and do a weak ranged attack on the Strange Ox. Once combat begins re-enter the “Dragon’s Den.” Regroup, go back up the ladder and talk to the Strange Ox. The dialogue leads you directly to purchasing the ring. This ox is important later…
I went full 12 druid. 2 ASI to max my wisdom to peak my spellcasting, and the tavern brawler feat, since they made it so it works while wild shaped. I use the helm that grants an extra wild shape charge, but the hood of the weave is just as viable. Moonbasking armor, as it's the only armor that works with wild shape. Amulet of greater health (I have shadowheart as a life cleric, heals are constantly there), the gloves of dex, warding bond rings (with shadowheart, my druid gains the resistance). Shadowheart is also using wapira's crown helm, so even though she's taking the half of the damage I would be taking, she's also healing herself for each person she heals... mass healing Word or cure wounds or preserve life basically always full heals her. My items also allow me to completely dump my dex and con. I have 14 str, 18 dex, 23 con, 14 int, 22 wis, 14 cha. I use the staff with arcane battery, and will use the amulet with spell restoration just for a free 6th level feast. Shadowheart aids for level 5. Longstrider on everyone. It's to the point that I wish we at least on tactician, because now even the hardest fights in the game don't even make my dick twitch. With 22 AC and a high caster modifier, I'm hard to hit and hard to resist while casting. With wild shape, it would take a small army to get through my HP pools(especially bonded) and with Tavern brawler, my owl bear form AVERAGES what's normally it's high end damage with claws... while having 3 hits per turn, rage( which that strength bonus raging just makes TB that much better) and crushing flight for another attack/close distance option. I highly recommend going full druid to max stats and still get ASI, you don't need a level of wizard or 3 levels of sorcerer for mediocre casting, when you use perilous stakes, wild shape, and wreck any boss in the game withing 3 turns without even having your actual health touched. If you want to be even better at casting, you can always take war caster over an asi, seeing as many druid spells use concentration
I have about 13 hours maybe as a moon druid on my very first playthrough and its been extremely fun, this will be helpful so i kinda know what im doing but i cant wait to get my owlbear form lol
It's such an interesting class because you are great out of the box, but you don't really g et a ton of fun gear until late game! IT'S WORTH IT THOUGHH!
I’m this build as we speak and owl bear + plus enlarge + rage = delete button
@italianspartacus It feels worth it down in the underdark lol I can't wait to get access to summons later that'll make it even better for me.
Thanks for the build, yesterday i started to take Halsin in my party and had no idea how to build him up 😊
Awesome video! My all-time favorite class, and I just respec’ed at L4 to live my dream. 😅 Now at L5 half the Gobbo Camp is cleared, the other half is unawares, and Halsin was just set free. Me and my “Bear Buddy” are gonna go WRECK Dror Ragzlin, and complete “Save the Refugees!”
You’re so very right to encourage players to, “play what you want!” If the most, “OP early dominate _____ mode and win all encounters,” build doesn’t fire up the player’s imagination…they’re just not going to get the best BG3 experience. (Same thing holds true in TTRPGs as well!)
Thank you. 👍❤️💪
If it wasn't mentioned, Halsin actually has a unique Cave Bear wildshape that unlike the normal bear has 20 strength and has a multiattack. Not sure that makes it as good as Owlbear but its worth checking out.
I did not, great catch - sorry about that man!!
@@italianspartacus You actually did mention Halsin's Cave Bear, just didn't expand on it.
Lvl 5 also gives your wild shape a second attack as a shifter druid
Something i feel a lot of people dont know about wild shapes is if u want to go pure wild shape u want to take a point in monk and a point in fighter. Here is the reason monk gets a version of unarmed defence which gives ac based of wisdom and sets ur ac to 10 as a wild shape u only carry over int wisdom and charisma. This looks weird in the ui but what it does is it gives u the 13 ac base the wild shape has -3 because it gets set to 10 then adds the 5 from wisdom giving u 15 ac then u add ur dex so u can get up to 17 ac plus with a few wild shapes then u can add a few other things lile spells for another +2 ac maybe more getting u up to 19+ ac which is really nice as for fighter u take it just for the defence fighting style for another 1 ac
Hey i am new to d and d and the game. I dont rly understand what u are saying, but u are saying i should go with 10 druid, 1 fighter, 1 monk right? Are u getting more damage from fighter or an extra Attack. Sorry english isnt my first language
@@alexwinchester8144 its more for the extra ac that u pick monk and fighter. Wild shapes already have very high damage output but they have very low ac this helps them get up to 20 ac
Thx for the great video. I am having great joy of playing druid for my first playthrough atm. It is so versatile and I am just playing straight druid atm. One thing that might be worth to take into consideration: potion of hill giant strength seems to work in wildshape as well. This helps a lot until reaching owl bear .
My plan (if they fix the tavern brawler for honour mode) is to go 1 sorc for the con save, 10 moon druid and 1 war cleric for the war charges so I get even more attacks in one turn for a while!
But this was really solid and I actually quite liked the idea of going barbarian and druid! I might have to give that a try!
Hey ItalianSpartacus, I’ve been following you for some years now and just wanted to say thank you for your enthusiastic personality and great perspectives! Keep up your amazing content and inspiring videos, my morning routines would not been the same without you!🎉❤
This is a great video, thank you for sharing! This was just what I needed to get started with a Wild Shape build.
I started my game as Moon Druid Halfling. And while having the Bear tank a lot of hits was nice. I suddenly was getting into fights where they'd down me fast. One time, they even made sure my character didn't get death saves. So I needed to revivify scroll them.
I ended up switching to Spore Druid since it gave me access to more equipment and I could tank hits better.
Maybe I should give this Dragon Sorc, Moon Druid build a shot and see how much farther it takes me. Thanks.
29:32 you mentioned the boots being medium armor was a big deal but maybe I missed the explanation? Great video I’ve been loving moon Druid.
Mage armor doesn't work then
In tabletop i play a Druid/Barb and i was so excited to test it out in BG3. Unfortunately not being able to use your concentrated spell effects like moving your moombeam once in wildshape has killed this for me. Not being able to do this breaks a core part of being a moon druid :(
I just use the concentration for hold person and upcast it to whatever is my highest spell slot (or how many enemies there are) then I just go to town with 3 crits.
Do the same with Gale and he got the fire arcane alacrity hat, so usually start with scorching ray then haste potion then hold person or hold monster (whichever is the one I need the most)
Then I use Karlach as barb or Laezel as Battlemaster and just go to town on them with guaranted crits
For those who want to go the Barbarian route, don’t dwell too much on the lower hp of your wild shape. Rage gives resistance so practically you are doubling the health bar of your wild shape.
Technically quadrupling if rage persists when knocked out of wild shape.
For Level 4 Spells, Conjure Woodland Being is a *MUST*. It's an S-tier spell and a key selling point for Druid. I would argue it's the best druid spell in the game.
Having 2 more free party members *that cast unlimited area of control spells* is huge, and that you can cancel at any time is also huge. For example, you can pop spikes under enemies, then cancel right before your owl bear does its combat leap, then cast vines from the lover next.
And, if the lover dies, he can be easily re-cast without resting.
I've done many encounters on my Moon Druid solo in Tactical without even trying thanks to CWB.
I feel like I could do a whole video on just CWB.
Thank you so much for this video. It was extremely helpful.
You're very welcome!
So, I just tested this out. The extra damage from Tavern brawler does NOT apply to wild shape in Honor mode. On Tactician or lower it does, but in Honor mode your wild shapes only get the extra bonus to attack rolls, NOT to damage. I don't know if that's a bug with Tavern Brawler in Honor mode or if it that's just how it works in Honor mode now, as part of the new rules regarding damage modifiers. Either way, it drastically reduces the benefits of the Tavern Brawler feat for Moon Druids in Honor mode. The bonus to attack rolls is nice, but without the bonus to damage your melee damage output is kind of lackluster compared to other classes. Bummer.
That's weird because they said they patched it in. That's very disappointing. Thanks for looking into that man, very much appreciated!!
@@italianspartacus Yeah, I really hope this is a bug and gets fixed soon. I was so disappointed when I got to level 4, picked up the TB feat, and got no increased damage on my attacks. I think I'll either put this character on hold for a while or respec him to something else 😒
18:50 a really hard guy ahead of you. Behave, Mr. Spartacus
If you take Resilient Constitution later on, it makes it kind of pointless to have started as a Sorcerer. You already get proficiency in Con saves with the Resilient Con feat. So in my case, since I want to focus on Owlbear, I think I will respec and drop that Sorc level as soon as I can get that feat (obv. Tavern Brawler is the priority).
I just got Halsin to join the party in act2, figured I'd let Karlac take a break from being my tank (wildheart: Eagle with Steed, so she dashes as a bonus action and get 18 temp hp each turn, and has her own form of crushing flight that is super satisfying). Shes been an absolute monster all game, but i try to use everyone a bit, keep them geared and leved.
I was starting to think Halsin was like withers, just a camp npc, until the whole shadowfell portal thing, now he's usable as a party member, but hes lvl 1, needs a stat respec, and a build. I decided to see how others had made him work as a tank.
Holy crap, this guy is no joke. Im kinda mad that he's holding Karlach's spot so well. The real beauty is in the number of summons you can have out at once, then throw down a concentration effect and literally go beast mode. I also gave halsin the Quoth the Raven gloves. Hes a party by himself.
My Tav is a GOO Warlock focused on CC, but always has a zombie, Shovel, and usually a pair of ice mephits running with him. Astarion has the Necromancy of Thay, so Danse Macabe will be a wonderful addition next act. Point is, having 10+ "pets" or summons is totally doable, and really effective. If everything dies before it takes a turn, you end up having to remind yourself to take long rests for story reasons, tho the party never really needs it lol. This has definitely been fun
“It’s huge man! ITS HUGE” Halsin, standing in his underwear: 🧍🏻♂️
Thanks. I’m about to create a Druid tonight for a MP game.
I have a forest gnome resist-Durge moon druid and he is _so_ adorable every time he goes in for the intimidation.
33:27 Bracers of Defense specifically states wearing armor OR holding a shield which is why it doesn't work.
I'm loving your vids, keep it up.
Another fun one is Moon Druid 8/Thief 3/Sorc1. You lose the lvl 10 extra attack and wildshapes but with Owlbear you can then leap twice a turn (or shift and leap in the same turn) and have sneak attack damage. So still 4 attacks per turn. Surely not the most optimised, since you give up on higher lvl spells and wildshapes but jumping around on the battlefield and knocking things prone is a ton of fun.
I don't care what it says on her character sheet, this is Doric. There's no Sneak Attack like an aerial Sneak Attack from a pouncing Owlbear.
I think sneak attack die only works with melee and ranged weapons, not unarmed and natural.
@@derekgunnels4856 you seem to be right. There goes my planned build. The mobility is still nice, but not worth sacrificing the spells and 3rd attack.
@@derekgunnels4856 700kg of feathered fury falling from the sky begs to differ. The Ultimate Sneak Attack.
The shapeshifters ring can be gotten in act 1, the strange ox is there. You will make the Tieflings mad by killing the strange ox but it can be acquired EXTREMELY early, not the easiest fight but its possible.
Okay. I have a complaint. I'm going to preface this with...I love your content for BG3 and CK3 (I love your CK3 play thoughs), and this isn't related to you alone. Every build guide I've looked at across youtube is at level 12. I get that, but when you reach 12, you're at least 1/2 way through Act 3, so the game play with max abilities and using things like haste, etc...don't really give a good feel for the leveling process. How do these builds play at lvl 4, or lvl 8, etc. some builds come online at lvl 4 and some really don't come alive until 8, but what gear should I be using at 4, or at 8...etc.
It's why I step you through each level and explain thr choices as they pertain to that point in the game :) I see where you're coming from, but I'll usually say stuff like, "at this level you're usually around this point in thr game, so you'll want to use these spells" etc.
Thanks for the video. Good stuff.
1 dip in Wizard is an exploit that will be patched out sooner or later; 1 dip in War/Tempast domain to get heavy weapon proficiency for elemental shape. 1dip in Fighter to get proficiency and +1 AC fighting type. 2 level in sorcerer to get metamagic but give up level 6 spell (hero feast)
Lol first step to being a good moon druid: level sorcerer
Man.. the fact that it says "Halsin" in the title.. I wanna be a druid but it literally gives you two druids and being in wildshapr takes away your ability to talk.
Thank you very much for making my request
You could change dex attribute score and use glove of dexterity and use the ability points somewhere else.
With the cow that gives you the shapeshifting boon ring. You find it in all three acts. Its in the druid grove (only drops the ring) act 2 in at the inn. (Drops ring and a hat with some gems) and in act 3 in a barn i can't remember where (only drops ring, hat, and gems.)
If you're playing with a level 10 "Icemoon" Druid, this encounter can easily be soloed in Honor Mode while the Steelwatcher is still on the battlefield.
You wet everyone outside of combat - followed by a haste on yourself (which you can get from a bow) and enter turn-based mode.
Two ice storms later, all the guards are down.
The ranger in the background can be fought with a normal water elemental and two ice mephits (place them around him and cast ice spells on him and he will most likely gonna be on the ground).
Then next turn you can transform into an Owlbear (or cast a few more spells on the Steelwatch guy), kill the Ranger if he's still around, and then do whatever you can to defeat the Steelwatcher, perhaps as Owlbear + tavernbrawler + 2 Strength from the Elixir from Moonrise Towers (it also adds strength to your shapeshifting forms).
Ice also offers good control - even more with some great items you can have at this point.
Taking a slow approach with a little control here and a little damage there just isn't enough for me in BG3. Destroy the weaklings and then the bigger threats - this is the easiest approach in 95 percent of all encounters.
P.S. I use the shield with + 3 to initiativ and the gloves that give 18 Dex which lets you go first very often. My WIS is 20 (17 base + Hags Hair + 2 at level 8 = 20), CHA 16 (he is my Main) base DEX and STR at 8 CON 16 INT 8. +2 STR from Elixier permanant makes it 10 in human form and adds +2 to wildshape.
For checks i use the headband of intellect which sets INT to 17.
Until now i never had to respec - tho in the beginning, until the creche Vendor, with 8 DEX you allways gonna go last^^ But for that i have the Party.
Thanks for the video
Better to cast spike growth from woodland being and vines from woad.
Hmmm so I guess it's either 1 level into wizard to be able to learn all kinds of spells for utility
Or 1 level into sorcerer which is probably more useful combat wise
Either way i think i should seriously consider speccing into one of the two
Could you show us your best grim reaper build trying to make something decent and I'm kinda new at this
shapeshift ring gives +1d4 only on checks and attacks are not checks, which limits its usefulness quite a lot. Though no other alternative, so might as well use it. Tbh feels like the item team was worn out once they came to making moon druid gear
Hmm, I completely don't understand the Draconic Bloodline choice.
Its only going to be +1hp as its just 1 level into sorc and you still recommend wearing armor in the build so the other buff is also useless + choosing mage armor has the exact same effect.
Am I missing something here?
I've been looking for this comment. I re-specced to this last night only to be extremely disappointed that the draconic defense passive didn't apply at all in wild shape while wearing the moon druid armour, because it's light armour and it still considers you as being 'armoured' while in wild shape. Idk if I'm just stupid and can't see what's going on with the stats or if this really is just a big oversight of the video.
Gotta take off your armor first, then wildshape
@@AstralWeebo but then what's the point of wearing the druid light armour? May as well wear clothing instead. It's not like you'll be un-wildshaped in combat often as moon druid to get the AC benefits. All the other benefits of the armour apply in wild shape anyway.
@Lottienn oh no it sucks, also found that out myself a couple mins before I replied, very sad but I'm not taking my armor on and off for that
a video on how to play the class would be nice
He did at the end?!
@@TheFishBowl27 not really, he showed an example of a scenario, not how to best play the class with the specs he laid out
what if you just go all moon druid and use the resilient feat to get the con sav throw profiency and also get some more hp? probably go 15 con, 17 wis for ethel hair, 11 str for tav brawler, and probably 14 dex
ahhhh nvm
No need for points in strength since we'll be augmenting the shape's strength, not our own! :D
@@italianspartacus That isnt fully true. Some shapes (standard bearspecifically) have odd strength. There is an argument if you REALLY want to min max to go +1 from tavern brawler at level 4, then swapping to con once you get owlbear onward.
8/8/15/x/16/x
12 levels in Moon druid
Feats
Tavern brawler +1 strength
Resilient Con
Warcaster
Items
Helm: Haste Helm
Back: N/A
Armor: Armor of Moonbasking
Gloves: Dexterity Gloves
Boots: Boots of Striding
Neck : N/A
Ring1: Shapeshifter's Boon Ring
Ring2 :N/A
Weapon: N/A (Staff of Arcane Blessing may be an alright weapon if you want strong bless for self)
Shield: Sentinel Shield
Range W:HellRider Longbow
Additional buffs Hag Hair +1 Strength
Final stat line out of combat caster
10/18/16/x/16/x
Initiative would be 10(4dex+3Shield+3Bow)+d4
By doing it this way you get +1 Attack and damage on all Strength forms, and a +1 on con for most forms that are used late game because they have an odd stat, and still will go first by simply using your first bonus action to shapeshift. With that specific gear and assuming wood elf turn one you could run 62 feet as a Sabre Tooth or 50 as a Earth Myrmidon lol. That is just me slapping it together so it may not even be the optimal 12 moon druid levels build. But interesting to look into
@@italianspartacus mayyybe carry weight?
Hi. how do you have the djinn with shadowheart or in your camp? I bet I missed a hidden room, didn't I.
nope! it's the spell Planar Ally :) you can summon a Deva, Cambion, or djinn!
Hey brother, great video. Two suggestion for future videos: keep the music in the background during the full video (if possible), but mix it down like 10 decibels(dbs) when editing. In the beginning of this vid it’s a little overpowering.
Do not waist levels to gain prof in CON. Just buy mercenary and make a alchemy stone for that. But I like idea to take frost armor .
Tbh, I think it's better to go for that lvl12 druid to get the advantage for concentration spells fear
A question for folks that play Druids; does your quick bars keep shifting around every time you shape shift? Or if you are using anything that changes your form, for that matter? -Thanks
in your experience, how useful is primal strike? i was thinking up an owlbear build and being a land druid (wanted certain spells) and i was wondering if this would be a critical miss.
Great and fun build. BUT there is no way this is beating just a lvl 10 moon druid
At lvl 10 you get a third attack and nothing the barb gives you is even CLOSE to that let alone the other 2 levels. Id take 2 war cleric and you would absolutely stomp this build as thematic as it is
Why not go monk one level inthobk gives you unarmored defense that goes to beat forms..right?
I did not test that! I don't think it does!
a friend of mine and me want to start a honour run together, he wants to play a moon druid.
Which character of your OP Party comp video would you recommend to switch out for that?
Pretty sure Mage Armor and Natural Armor from Draconic Bloodline dont stack
They don't, I was saying that :D I wanted to illustrate how you can use it IN LIEU of Draconic if you decided not to go with that subclass
Tavern brawler is currently not giving the strength to the owlbear form but both heavy armour and resilient:strength are. Not sure how much damage modifier you get from tavern brawler vs getting 22 strength from both heavy armor and resil:str. Would love to know which is better as I just got Halsin and I'm looking forward to using him in the party.
Forgot to state that I'm currently only level 8 so I only have access to two feats. Just realized that heavy armour, resil:str would give me 22 str and then tavern brawler at 12 would give me the modifier. Still wondering if TB is better to take right away and then wait til lvl 12 before I hit 22 str through other feats.
Would ability improvement work better than tavern brawler? Does ability improvement carry over in wild shape form?
im wondering does smite work with wildshape?
cause first i dont saw anyone trying that out and second it would be neat if it works ;D
Does initiative work off of wild shape dexterity or our own? Would alert work? It is a passive after all
Which form your currently in, and yes.
Not sure about resilient dex - wouldn't I just go from Owlbear to Myrmidon (both even-# dex)? Is sabre-tooth or Dilo worth taking a whole feat for?
Should be able to rage WHILE wild shaped, at least you can in 5e
Should you not have put more into strength for tavern brawler?
Does the spell Shield works on wildshift?
No, pretty sure it does not trigger if you aren’t in human form.
But do the transmutation stones work with Druid? That’s the real question.
Why do you have more spells than me in my play through? What am I doing wrong ?
So, if you go lvl 3 Barbarian lvl 9 Druid, you lose out on 3rd attack in wild shape. And you have to use rage before you go into Wild Shape, which are both bonus actions...Correct?
Is it worth damage wise? There is no show case for this alternative build, so I need to know things xD
the barb versions i see are mostly land druids so that the bonus action clog is minimized. most optimal i've seen is white sorc 1, barb 3, land druid 8.
Maybe i missed it but does the +1 con from tavern brawler carry into wildshape?
Yup!! :)
Wouldnt 10 lvl in Moon Druid , 1 lvl in Sorcerer/Wizard and 1 lvl in War Cleric be good ? or cant u use your war cleric charges in wildshape ? + u would still get the lvl 6 spell cause cleric
you already get tge 6L slot as a druid 10, sorc 1. war priest does work in wild shape.
Re: TB @ Level 4
I almost always respec to keep STR or CON even. It's only 100g.
Would only going 7 into moon druid and 5 into wild barb for the extra attack be worth the reduced health? I feel like it might be but im genuinely not sure if losing the extra level 4 slot and the feat is worth it
With 10 levels of druid, characters can make 3 attacks in wild shape, so if you're thinking of going for those barb levels only for the extra attack, then I'd personally advise against it.
What about dipping into theif rogue for two bonus action?
I wish there were timestamps for levels
Does str affect your wild forms melee damage?
Nay because you'll take on the forms strength! BUT like I say in the video, things like the hags hair buffs your strength which carries over to the wild form
why cant i cast mage armour on myself? it says "target cant have armour equipped"
Check your boots or helmet?
I subsramited !

26:43 That's Unrelenting not Relenting, Bossman.
