    Another way I've found to bump the crit rate higher is to buy the risky ring from Araj Oblodra in Moonrise towers in Act2. It gives advantage on attack rolls but disadvantage on saving throws. Then as a paladin you can partially negate this disadvantage by using the permanent aura of protection feature you get at level 6 that gives you a +6 bonus to saving throws. I rarely fail a saving throw but my crit rate is super high so this has worked well for me.

    Character Creation:
    Race -> Zariel Tiefling or Half-Orc
    Background -> Noble or Soldier
    Subclass -> Oath of Vengeance
    Ability Points -> 16/10/14/8/10/16
    Leveling Process:
    Level 2
    Fighting Style -> Great Weapon Fighting
    Prepared Spell -> Searing Smite/Thunderous Smite/Wrathful Smite/Heroism
    Level 3
    Prepared Spell -> Command
    Level 4
    Prepared Spell -> Shield of Faith
    Feat -> Great Weapon Fighting
    Mostly personal choice after that, just try to counter the -5 on attack rolls when using Great Weapon Fighting feat a little.

      FYI, great weapon fighting is statistically weaker than just getting defence plus one to armor.Great Weapon Mastery (feat), on the other hand, is good. Also shield of faith is a concentration spell, so you lose it if you use any of the smites that stack a per turn condition like searing smite or wrathful smite.

      @joekraut9094 might be a bug, but it's not supposed to reroll smites AFAIK. If it does, then that boosts it a little. But in 5e it averages out to like 1.2 extra dmg or something negligible since you only reroll 1 and 2s, and even then, it doesn't guarantee you don't roll the same or lower.

    Sweet build! I might try this build out in future runs.

    I've been really enjoying my paladin playthrough using luck of far realms and smite, I'm not new to Larian games/crpgs but totally new to DnD really.
    One thing I thought I'd mention; I think luck of the far realms recharges per long rest. To offset this I luckily picked up a ring (don't remember where sorry) called "Killer's Sweetheart" which has the executioner perk "When you kill a creature, your next attack roll will be a critical. Once spent this refreshes after a long rest" Similar to luck of the far realms you can choose when to you use this, so sometimes I "bank" my crits and save them for the toughest enemy/boss etc

    Good day sir, i was doing a 2h build all along but what i noticed is that actually dual wielding with dmg on hit will deal way more and sit on better stats overall due to 2nd passive:
    You go paladin 6 warlock 3 ( i am at that point ),
    Main hand you go with charge-bound hammer (highest hitting non heavy i have so far and it will be better in your build even if its 2h if i calculated right ), offhand you use thorn blade for sweet 1d4 poison to you offhand and main weapon, flawed helldusk gloves for sweet 1d4 fire main and offhand, caustic ring for +2 poison, cloak of protection ( vendor i think ) +1 AC, Amulet of misty step ( bonus action ), darkfire shortbow for "balanced" 10r haste.
    I spotted in your video you do not use inquisitor might + shield of faith for +2 AC and thorn blade proc.
    Buff wise i use on my support bless + mystra bless, phalar aluve for more 1d4 bonus dmg and a huge grow for more 1d4 as well as warding bond for ALL resistance.
    Summing all this up: this thing yolos through everything in 1-2 turns since you can also proc smite and crit from our offhand which gives us basicly more actions per turn considering we can also proc smite from offhand hits. Rest wise i am sitting at 2k+ supplies so after 1-2 fights you can afford to rest, i agree thought that dual wielding eats more magic slots.
    Highest hits were 120 ish.
    I do run half orc as well. At lvl 5 warlock ( lvl 11 character ) will also get 1 more action point at leasts thats what people say.
    AC for me is at 27 right now without clones etc. as well as full resist.
    Keep in mind this is my first DnD experience but i am just glad to share my happiness, i do like building stuff and will be glad if you help me improve.
    P.S. on 6:17 you have +14slashing, where does that come from? i do not understand how to go over 4 ish, since in weapon it shows 4blunt for and in skills as well, for you its 4slash on weapon but 14slash on skills.
    Also your discord link is outdated.

  • @Chokoboh
    @Chokoboh Рік тому +6

    Did you know that +1, +2 and +3 enchanted weapons give that bonus not only to the damage dices, but also to your attack roll? Meaning you'll hit more often with this type of weapon.
    The Everburn Blade does not have such an enchantment. Meaning, it's damage is nice IF you connect, but an enchanted weapon is still superior and more reliable.
    Then you'd say: "I get this at the start of the game, what's the problem with that?"
    And i can tell you here, that you can get a far better greatsword in Act 1. It's not as easy as the Everburn Blade. This one is a little bit more specific.
    You can get the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane in Act 1, which is without a doubt the second best greatsword in the game.
    Hire the Fighter hireling from Withers.
    Respec her to Fighter 16 Str, 14 Dex, 16 con, 8 Int, 12 Wis, 8 Cha, stay on defensive fighting style.
    Take the Battle Master subclass and take Disarming Strike and Precision Strike and whatever you want, maybe Riposte.
    If she's level 4, take Ability Improvement as feat and add two points to Strength.
    If you can, equip the hireling with a +1 enchanted weapon, for increased hit rate.
    Then go to the Mountain Pass where the Githyanki Patrol is stationed, bring your party in front of the gates.
    Ungroup the hireling, have Shadowheart cast Guidance, and have Gale or Wyll cast Invisibility or simply drink a potion.
    Go to Camp with your 3 man group and switch back to the hireling. Turn on turn based mode.
    Now run behind Voss and use Precision Strike on yourself. Then take a quicksave for save scumming.
    Now you backstab him with the Disarming Strike.
    Your hit rate with this setup should be over 90% or something, but the disarm effect has still a saving throw on it.
    Look for 'Weapon dropped' before the cutscene starts (it will be orange) if it doesn't drop, you can immediately reload.
    Once it dropped, you can either try and talk your way out of the situation if you have a mind reading scroll and feel lucky to succeed a lot of checks, or instead just take the fighter dialogue option and then say nothing, that's the quickest way to combat without checks. When the combat starts, immediately pick the weapon up and transfer it to another group member.
    The hireling will die here, but you can just revive her and then pickpocket Withers afterwards, you can just pickpocket him without any problems, it's a super high skill check but you can just try and try again until you succeed, there are no consequences.
    Some of the Silver Swords boni are a little bit more specific tho. They only get granted to a Githyanki wearing it.
    Namely, an added 1d6 psychic damage on hit and resistance to psychic damage.
    But even without those, this weapon is straight up superior to the Everburn Blade, even in raw damage output.
    And now comes the icing on the cake: If you bought the Digital Deluxe Edition, you also have the Mask of the Shapeshifter.
    Turns out, the weapon only checks if you're a Gith when you equip it. But when you change your helmet, the sword does also notice for some reason that you're not a Gith.
    So do it in this specific order:
    1. Don't have the silver sword equipped
    2. Equip the Mask
    3. Cast the spell to change to Githyanki
    4. Equip your regular helmet that you'd wear
    5. Now equip the sword
    6. Then dispel the illusion
    You might have to repeat this process when you take a long rest, i didn't tested that yet.
    Otherwise, the only thing that makes you repeat it is, when you unequip your headgear or weapon.
    There you have it. Now have fun and kick some ass! ☠

      The silver astral greatsword is a +3 greatsword then is far more superior because it gives you +15% chance to hit, +3 to damage and ignore resist to normal damages.
      When it comes to statistics, the +1D6 of fire from the everburn sword gives +3 average, so it's the same as +3 enchant, and fire is an element often resisted by ennemies.

    So you get auto-crit on the first strike (tadpole). But second and third attacks are not auto crits, right?
    Btw, if you are lvl 9 paladin of Vengeance, use Haste Spell: +2 AC, double movement (huge for not wasting extra attacks after killing enemy), and double your regular attacks (i.e. 4 automatic +1 if crit or kill)

    • @spiraljumper74

      Haste is an amazing choice for concentration on vengeance paladin. Maybe the best option all around, especially if you have other casters in the party who can buff you with mirror image or blur, you can become such a crazy dodge tank while still having great damage per turn.

    Last i heard, multiple sources of Resistance don't stack in BG3. So if you're a Tiefling with innate racial Fire Resist (50%), and are using an item/spell that grants Fire Resist (50%), it doesn't give you 100% Fire Resist, nor even two 50% mitigation rolls (lowering the final damage to just 25% of the original).

    I've come up with a build that people might like.
    Race: Githyanki
    Background: Whatever, it does not really matter, but talking proficiencies are useful, I used guild artisan.
    Starting Class: Warlock
    Dump Strength, you won't need it. I went with 17 Cha, 14 Con, 16 Dex, and dumped all the other stats.
    You go Pact of the Blade at level 5.
    Now you either start using Githyanki Greatsword into Soulbreaker into Silver Sword of the Astral Plane or you disarm Kith'rac Voss and get the Silver Sword early.
    From Level 5 you go 2 levels into paladin to unlock your smites.(the oath does not make a difference)
    Next 5 levels are Fighter. Subclass Champion.
    Your act 3 equipment will be Sarevok's Helmet, your bow is the deadshot. Both giving you a +1 to crit. With Champion that makes you crit on a 16-20.
    Risky Ring and Ring of regeneration paired with the broodmother's revenge for some damage stacking.
    Flawed Helldusk Gauntlets until you get the better version.
    Your best in slot armor is the one you get from Ketheric, your best in slot boots are the boots of speed to solve your mobility issues.
    Ketheric's Armor makes it so that you can't be shoved or thrown, so your physical saving throws don't matter anymore.
    The silver sword gives you advantage on the mental saving throws, negating the negative on the Risky Ring completely.
    You can even add another 1d4 of elemental damage to your sword with the Drakethroat Glaive.
    This build can deal upwards of 400 points of damage in one turn when hasted. As you crit for 10d6+2d4+cha modifier without your smite damage. Deactivate smite on normal hit and only let the game use your smite when you land a critical hit.
    You only get two feats, I used one ASI and Savage Attacker. As fighting styles I took great weapon fighting and defense.

    Could you explain the choice of going vengeance instead of devotion? Doing something similar but with devotion instead not sure if vengeance has anything useful for oaths save a 2 turn inquisitors might early game, but sacred weapon lets you add your charisma modifier to your attack rolls (+3 mid game with 16 riz) that and +2 from like a weapon oil and magic weapon with ur concentration would negate the -5 penalty easy even before adding in other modifiers. Not the mention the sanctuary spell being insanely broken for every encounter all game
    Also just from a utility perspective curious if i have this right but you can only make this useful 1/10 every attack rolls if you are rolling 1 or 2 and there's still a chance you miss. It might be the best way to maximize damage but imo just throwing 1 extra AC every attack against you will require 1 higher roll to make the hit for the rest of the game seems pretty strong from lvl 2 as well
