Yeah, it’s crazy that it took so long!

@@mjust7119 Thanks for the comment! There are only 2 I can think of from the top of my head but they are really good actually. First one is called, “Scatter” and you can teleport 5 creatures up to 120 feet away as an action. This can also be used on enemies with a wisdom saving throw. Then there is “Vortex Warp” and you can teleport 1 creature within a range of 90 feet as an action, but every time you upcast it it can go 30 feet more, and it’s only a 2nd level spell so it can get pretty crazy.

Is that true though? You can’t upcast with Mystic Arcanum, so the highest Spirit Shroud gets is 2D8, I haven’t done the math in awhile, but I’m pretty sure Blade of Disaster would still do more especially with the expanded crit range and Elven accuracy. On a non-warlock caster with 9th level slots I would agree. As far as doing an Eldritch Blast build I’m sure that’s the case, but that’s not the point of this video. The concept is a melee warlock. I’m sure you’re right though.

That’s actually crazy! For sure gonna make a barbarian whip build at some point😂

@@comradewarners apologizes. I was mistaken. It is a Heavy or VERSATILE weapon. Not reach. My bad. Still, i think there are some interesting Barbarian/whip builds. Brutal strike can still work with a reach weapon, and with slasher, you can still push an enemy while slowing them with both the slow property and the slasher feat

@ yeah, that could still be SUPER good!

wait nvm slow only affects a target once per turn, but still 20 ft of movement lost is crazy

ok but as an eldritch knight fighter, you can replace one of your attacks with ray of frost, meaning you can still get the 30 foot slow, assuming one whip attack and ray of frost hits

@@xiongray it would for sure be more fair!

That’s actually so great too, because based on the monsters we’ve seen so far that will be in the new monster manual, a lot of them have attacks that have weapon damage plus another type! Good to know! 😁

@@benruhl716 Can you upcast with the enspelled weapon? I think that’s the problem, and you also get other things from warlock. The 2 extra origin feats also do a lot for this build. Also for build videos I don’t talk about magic items even with the new rules because Bastions are still optional. (The new crafting rules actually aren’t that different, it’s the bastions that make things easier. This also was made before the DMG was fully out)

@@comradewarners so you can have them cast it also at later levels into the item at spell level 1-6 or whichever spell slot/rarity is available as long as they use the spell slot each day helping make and you have the required materials from the looks of it. From what people are interepting the spell level is the rarity so a first level spell cast at 4th level every x days would give you the up casted AoA! That’s what my table decided at least 😂. Crafting is so fun now! I do think divine favor for all classes is insane tho, it’s crazy powerful with dual wielders for just 200g and 10 days of work. But what you said makes sense, but I think if people are more aware of how easy crafting is now it would become more common and talked about, even though it is still SO new!

@@benruhl716 yeah, it also depends on how your table runs a campaign. For the campaign I play in, 10 days would take 6 months IRL most likely lol. We generally don’t have downtime very often, and if we do it’s just a couple of days.

LOL

@@AllMenAreBerries LOL

@@FrankDouglas indeed! That is exactly what I ended up doing too! 😁 Full video is link on the short! 😄

@@ericpeterson8732 close! Kensai Frost Goliath! Full build video linked on this short! :D

@@somedudesomewhere924 understandable! I’ll keep that in mind in future posts! Just so you know I have a long form version of this, and the music is waaaay quieter! I’ll for sure tone down the shorts volume too though 😄

@@normal6483 That for sure would do a lot for a build like this! You could do even more with a single hit! I must now think about this for a long time! *theory crafting intensifies*

@@matalvis Thank you so much for letting me know!! I’m using a UA-cam feature that lets me test out 3 thumbnails at once, but it doesn’t let me see them all while it’s testing it lol

@@jessesmith4350 That’s awesome! The 10 foot reach is very underrated!

Defensive Duelist could replace Slasher to skyrocket AC 26 --> 32

That sounds like a really fun build!! I need to look this up and check but I would argue with Custom Lineage and background feat I don’t think you’re meant to take any feats that aren’t origin feats. I think any old feats that aren’t replaced with the 2024 PHB are assumed to have a level 4 requirement. I might be wrong though! If so though that’s a pretty crazy build! A gun monk is very cool!

@@captaincriticize8050 oooo!!! That’s a great idea for an NPC!

@comradewarners do you think making her a literal cat woman as a tabaxi is too much? Or just true to character

@ I think that would be perfect, but my table is also a bit more up for humor like that at the table. Also Tabaxi could do some crazy stuff with a build like that!

@comradewarners very true. In this upcoming campaign it's almost low magic, not like it's unavailable but like it's much harder to access and is highly specialized, but in that vein races other than humans, elves, and dwarves are also uncommon. So i think the tabaxi would add a lot of mystique to the cat and mouse game (pun intended)

@ yeah, that sounds awesome! Also in low magic, non-magical abilities really shine like the new whip! Should be a ton of fun!

@@mjust7119 omg, that’s a great name for the build 😂

@@xiongray LOL, I was hoping someone would understand what I meant 😂

@@ericpeterson8732 yes! I try my best to restrict myself from doing too much of the same thing but when making this build I was like, “I am focusing on slowing enemies, and if I could be large size I could grapple bigger targets, and be able to be within 5 feet of more targets to hold the Cavalier mark… if only there was some way to make that happen easily…” as I said in the intro though, I’m for sure not gonna use Goliath for a good while now.

Could be fun! I’ve seen it done with the old rules! 😁

@ ive played with it in the new rules, easiest way for some highish dmg is to dip fighter (plate + martial weapons), then go rest shadow monk for full advantage with 2d6 weapons

You miss out on your initial features: bonus unarmed strikes, Martial Arts Die, Dexterous attacks, adding your Wisdom to your AC, increased speed etc. You also need a 15 strength, chances are if your DM made you take the Monk array creation, you won't have it. Moreover, since you aren't proficient in armor, you will always have disadvantage on any strength or dexterity D20 tests. Finally, since you can't cast spells in armor, because you aren't proficient in them, you can't choose a subclass that casts spells.

@@The_RealWilliam You dont need your i initial features, you take unarmed fighting style with ur fighter dip, u go full str (15 +2), 13 dex, 14 con, 9int, wis (13 +1), 8 cha, boom, now you got good base stats, still good defences, more burst damage, and a higher ac

@@deadku6150 Whoops. My bad. I see you mentioned dipping and I missed it. Disregard.

H K 😊

That is a super fun tank build! What subclass would you go for with the 2024 rules?

@comradewarners I don't know all the new subclasses very well, but battle master seems to be one of the only ones that can help with ranged attacks besides arcane archer but you need a long or short bow for that. What would you use?

@ So the battle master is a great choice! It’s not much different from the 2014 battle master, the main differences are with the fighter class themselves and it’s only buffs! Eventually battle master gets the ability to do 1 maneuver every turn for free, so that’s pretty cool!

@comradewarners haha cool! I've always wanted to DM for my friends but I have no clue how to run a campaign

@@JoshuaSmith-hl1xj Yeah, the dedicated weapon feature was so good! Now Kensei kind of feels like how Hexblade felt in the 2014 rules. Subclass tax to be able to use weapons effectively with the features. I would love a feat like that! For sure 2024 rules have a lot less flavorful features unfortunately.

So actually with our background we took a +2 in Wisdom so our Wisdom was already at a 17, so with that feat we get it to an 18! 😁

@@comradewarners What feat did I miss. 15 + 2 (Background) + ? 18

@@marcducorsky8736 yes, the background gave a +2 to wisdom.

@@comradewarners 15 Wisdom + 2 from Background = 17. Where did the +1 come from. I rewatched. Did I miss a feat?

@ ahhhh, so I did with the Epic Boon feat.

@@marcducorsky8736 Yup! Got that included to be assumed every round! I might have misspoken at one point and said once a turn, but I meant once a round.
