Yeah mod support is coming to console in the next big patch which sounds like is coming soon. Still no cross platform unfortunately from hearing what's coming in patch 7
Been using a planner to remake a party of Sith for my Dark Urge playthrough. I was going to do rule of two, and have one sith warrior or sith assassin, and a sith inquisi lightning sorc. I think this is going to be THE main one of my party, this build is so fun. LOVE Eldritch Knight and Wizard, so good, love this video.
As a long time Skyrim modder of course as soon as I figuered out how I have been using mods and would like to see different ones in action. I'm currently using mostly aesthetic mods and some QOL and would love to see what I can add. And sorry to all the console players but having followed you since the game oficially released you have done more than your fair share of vanilla builds for folks to try.
A conquest paladin build sounds baller. I'd really like to know more ways to cause and play around the fear/frightened conditions, since I struggle with causing them in both tabletop and BG3
Dude. There's some great Conquest gear in the game. Get the Braindrain gloves for mental save debuffs. (gith weapons deal psychic damage and so do many illithid powers). Shield of the Undevout so enemies have Disadvantage on frighten. Bonespike helmet = menacing attack each turn. Thats a just a few items for it. Its fun. You just keep fearing everything.
@@jmcc2k10 Go take a chill pill bro, he asked peoples opinion and I gave mine. And yes you are right, I could choose to not watch it (and probably won't should he chose to do them), just like you could have chosen to not be an arse in a reply to an opinion. Have a good day.
for a sith lord i feel like a 8 paladin 4 warlock would work much better. you would get eldritch blast that would be your force push. you could get spell sniper thornwhip that would be your force pull you could focus on charisma, which would work for siths better since their strength comes from the "force" which is basically an eldritch entity, and best of all, it also means you can use pact of the blade, to have a charisma "bound weapon" that you can throw and will come back. finally, 8/4 gives you 3 feats. meaning, you can, max charisma at 20. get alert, so no need to get much dex, use heavy armor(darth vader style), and grab any other feat you want, like warcaster for that shocking grasp reaction or spell sniper. for race, you could be anything, for melee, half orcs give savage attacker, while strongheart halfling's lucky fits perfectly with the jedi/sith "manipulating the odds" with the force. finally another way to look at it is as a monk 8(open hand)/thief 3/barbarian 1. rage is a literal ability of the sith. so to have a sith that doesnt rage kinda feels like its missing something. you could swap open hand monk for four elements, but i feel like a more vader style, instead of a palpy lightning storm.
@@marcosdheleno the wiki says it can’t be thrown and I believe my one wyll play through I was never able to throw it( tried to throw on ground using throw action to use drake throat glaive buff). I’ll try it later but I believe even in 5e it specifically says it can not be dropped or thrown.
@@kirkvanallen5202 saw it. the weird part is, there are multiple entries for pact weapons, but only 1 of them talks about throwing it. all the others say things like: "The weapon returns to its previous state if you are more than 1.5 m / 5 ft away from it for more than 10 rounds. " which makes no sense if you cant drop or throw it.
Maybe this is TOO much to ask, but I think a video where you go through an entire party composition like this. I feel like the meta for this game is single builds, honor mode builds, or honor mode solo runs. However, I think a big source of fun from this game is bringing your companions with your main character, and synergizing their abilities as they all work through their own stories. Also, not EVERYBODY could use the Boots of Free Movement or Crusher's ring. So building a party of 4, each with their own gear, gives you a lot of other things to analyze and consider. It might be long (maybe make a series), and probably harder than most of your single builds, but I think you could make it fun.
Love the build ! Definitely recommend modding because it adds so much replayability. Just a small note, Eldritch Knight has always displayed incorrectly in the level up screen and spell book. But in the combat log it shows properly using INT. There’s also a mod that fixes that bug from the vanilla game
Magic initiate: Bard probably won’t be much use unless you rearrange your stats. It uses CHA for the spellcasting ability, and 12 CHA is going to result in a lot of successful enemy saving throws (unless you really want to use your divination dice)
Love to see some modded builds, so much more content variety and far more interesting once all the vanilla stuff has run dry. I use scaling enemies and more enemy encounters mods for much more combat in the game. So many great mods though
It’s important to note: if you decide to choose Half Orc for the extra crit damage and the ability to not immediately get knocked out, if you find a way to pick up the “Disguise Self” spell, you can turn yourself into a Gith and still net the benefits of the Gith-specific items/ prerequisites while also maintaining your Half Orc racial benefits! Only thing to keep in mind is you won’t be able to look how you wanna look😁
I'd be very interested in modded builds, so long as they involve classes/subclasses/feats/spells from the tabletop game itself so as to recreate characters people might actually play in DnD! A shadar-kai conquest paladin/bladesinger wizard multiclass with the telekinetic feat and blade cantrips? Absolutely.
@@italianspartacus well for adding to the topics, can you add up lightning strike or something like that to make it more sith ? :) idk how to build it, its just an idea since you go said its sith. Ofc we not building mr darth vader here, since darth is more heavy armor character and this build is more nimble. Edit : ah never mind, i miss the part on the last wizard build, i think its represent the sith already, sorry man, my bad for mislook that one.
I'd appreciate a guide for the PC player who's never done anything with mods. ("Modding BG3 for Dummies," "So You Finally Want to Try Mods?" Something like that.)
If you do not use mods in this game ... you are not play a DnD game on any level! After 500 hours ... there is absolutely no way to play a paladin properly here! No dialog for a Lawful good char. Infact this game will go out of its way to break what ever oath you give! With mods you can play a paladin that won't do this! 22 race, 83 subclasses missing from game in vanilla version!
Don’t know if he will make a video about it but if he doesn’t I have walked a couple of friends through it before. If you need help I can help you as well! It adds so much to the game without breaking it
In case he doesn't, there are some really good guides and most mods are very easy to use. The big thing you'd use is BG3 Mod Manager as most authors create mods for it and it comes with script extender which a lot of mods also use. Most can just be downloaded and imported through the manager but there are some that will have you find a few folders in the game location.
Note to viewers: Arcane acuity does not add to damage but to attack rolls and spell save DC. Even if you get 10 charges, your damage will be the same. Gloves of battlemage's power doesn't work Elemental augmentation is what adds damage Arcane synergy is what adds damage from the acuity charges. Without it, your charges will not add any damage to your weapon attacks
Spartacus, can you do the Dame Aylin build? Not sure how to a two handed Cleradin because it needs both charisma and Wisdom. I have seen a lot of BG3 fans request the Aylin Nightsong build.
I mentioned a few videos back that I'd love modded builds. Especially with cross play mods coming next update. If you want suggestions, using the Artificer mod would be cool. Same with the dread overlord subclass of Warlock. Though, idk if it's 5e or homebrew
At first it was like not modded builds. 😒 but then it kind of made me curious of modding my game now that most patches are out. So yeah, curious to see what one can do. 🎉
Circle of the Sun Druid. Fencer Rogue. Inquisitor Cleric. Path of the Giant Barbarian. Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian. Hexblade Warlock. All are available with mods. Please consider doing them.
might just be me, but id go with evocation over divination, because 1 hermione has an anti-divination stance at hogwarts, but more seriously, you can throw down fireballs without having to worry about whose there thanks to the evocation wizard stuff
This just made me reinstall for another play through. A Dark Urge/Sith Lord roleplay. Companions are tools to use. Driven to gain more and more power at all costs. Seek to be in control of the dark urge. Can’t wait!
my one issue is that, this build looks like it has too small AC for a close range fighter. in something like honor mode, it feels like if you get unlucky, you will go down before being able to really do anything. even with mirror image, its good, but temporary. so against some heavy hitter, it doesnt seem like it has enough protection to handle.
You have sooo many ways to stop attacks via portent dice, defensive duelist, shield. Honestly honor mode is not that hard where people say you need 20+ AC characters. I did honor mode with the highest AC on any of my characters being 19 or so
@@italianspartacus i dont doubt. my issue is with those random "everythings goes wrong" and kill your run. so i tend to like builds that diminish the amount of "shit going south" due to bad luck.
I really like your videos. But there's one thing you might want to rethink. BG3 is a game with a huge amount of options and players can really get lost sometimes. So going "you can do this or you can do that or you can do basically everything it doesn't mater do whatever you feel like" isn't really why people look up a build guide. Even if it's true that most things are viable or playable in a lower difficulty setting, a bit more decisiveness would be more helpful.
paladin (broken oath) \ sorcerer is a better sith lord, simply because charisma is so powerful for both classes. I start sorcerer and take paladin later on.
charisma also fit the theme better. but for a sith, i think warlock fits better. both because of pact of the blade, but also because the force is kinda like an eldritch entity. also, eldritch blast would work like a force push. you could even grab spell sniper thorn whip, and use it as a force pull.
Given the lore? Yeah, why not? In a universe of spaceship riding squid men, fish monsters that have lived before the gods existed, frog faced people that also engage in space travel, a magic light sword is what makes you raise an eyebrow?
@TheSilkKing1 ok so name the "lightsaber" weapon in Advanced Dugeo. N Dragons! Not a flame sword ot an energy blade.... an actually lightsaber! As a DM for 40+ years ... im telling you there is no such item! Fyi a nautoloid is not a spaceship lolol hilarious
you don't need to be a Gith to use the sword and get the bonus out of it, you can just have one to use "disguise self" on you and turn in to a Gith, then you get all the benefits out of it ^^ ...
This would be another example of... Do as I say, not as I do, and put it in a ramekin, in the other, for 45 minutes and then it can join the clean plate club!
I so appreciate being told what the build is up front and having time stamps. That alone is worth the like and comment my guy
Thanks brother!
