    Dancing Lights: "What is my purpose"

    I've really been liking your BG3 videos. I'm in my second playthrough and still have a lot to learn about the game. They way you make your videos helps a lot with that.

    Shillelagh + torch is actually pretty decent damage early in the game if your healer/support doesn’t have anything better to do with their action

    • @wayfaringnomad
      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah I like it for a close range support.

    Dancing lights is for prepping concentrated blast and nothing else

    Fire bolt is s tier for setting off explosives in addition to its damage. I don’t think I have seen a normal run without fire bolt

    • @wayfaringnomad
      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому

      This is true, it interacts with so much throughout the game. I could easily see it s tier on many lists.

    This is a pretty good list. I agree about most selection. EB and guidance are definitely the two best

    Traumaturgy should be A or B at least couse is mechanically is the same as friends and even better couse you can combo it with guidence since is not concentration.
    Firebolt and ice bolt can be also low S if you build around it, heat, bombs; chilled, freezed.
    Dancing lights its a free concentration spell to any class tha wants to trigger the ring of 1d4 psychik damage from a ring doing weapon attacks; rangers, eldritch warriors.
    True strike is only viable to a dual weild characters like a rogue if you really want that advantage to get that sneak attack.
    Minor ilussion is def an A and S+++ on single character honor mode. The amount of aoe damage that you can set up with it is inmense even to avoid encounters and exploration as you said.
    Thorn whip would be a lot cooler if you can choose the direction that you want to push them. A funny bug is that you can use the cantrip on targets that have sanctuary.
    My only D will be vicious mockery. Low damage and not very usefull when enemies get extra attack. And even with the build that trigers mental fatigue. But the flavor thoug...

    • @wayfaringnomad
      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому +1

      yeah vicious mockery is one that probably should be lower.. it's very meh compared to the others.

    Sacred flame is just for when enemies don’t have enough health left to warrant guiding bolt

    • @wayfaringnomad
      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому

      It being tied to dex save really hurts it, especially early on.

    You forgot that Shocking Grasp prevents the target from taking Reactions. Though I agree with your ranking since it's only really strong if you're doing a lightning build.

    Acid splash is one of my favorites but you do have to build for it, reverberation helps and if you add the ichorous gloves you get noxious fumes. Plus if you do it as an evocation wizard it’s level 6 ability lets it do half damage if the opponent makes a save.
    I did a drain tank Erdrich knight that used poison spray with the poisoner gloves, derivation cloak, and that healing ring that was fun, but it’s like you said you have to build around it to make it good, lol

    • @wayfaringnomad
      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому +2

      I feel like Bg3 puts all the poison/acid gear in a weird place in the game. I need to do a sit down with it all.

    dancing lights can be nice though, it sets of traps, mines and such, wouldnt call it amazing, but more usefull than D i think

    May I ask if a combination of Duel Weilding Staffs is applicable with shillelagh?
    As I Am working on a Storm Sorcerer Shadow Monk (Ninja Storm) and that last cantrip is the finisher
    Feats include [Dual Weilding, (9m Charger Attack / Pole Arms Master), (Either Shillelagh / Eldritch Blast - spell sniper)]

    • @wayfaringnomad
      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому +1

      I'm not sure, I'll give it a try next time I'm in the sandbox.

      @@wayfaringnomad Thank you Kindly.
      (Ideally would love the 4 feats without spell sniper but this is the issue with mental theater - But If It does work ohh my it will be fun to role play as the newest Intern At "Devil May Cry")
      Royal Guard - 3 Prong Staff, (Shellelagh)
      Sword Master - Charger Stinger.

    True strike only mean when you have concentrated blast as bonus 😂

      @wayfaringnomad  Місяць тому

      I just wish it was a bonus action instead.

      @wayfaringnomad *SPOILERS*
      you can evolve them, in creche. Then all tadpole powers became bonus actions
