  • Dont need to be Astarion to do 19 attacks, just 11lvl fighter. Ascended Astation just gets 1d10 added necrotic dmg and with auto crit and arrow of many targets it can be 8d10 dmg combined per shot just with this added damage.
    I needed a support to acheve that becouse cant cast Mind Sanctuary before battle. For some reason if you precast it, it lasts 3 turns irl time so 18 seconds idk why. And Perilous Strikes debuff that makes enemy vulnerable to all damage cost an action so 3 attacks for fighter. Mind Sanctuary makes so your Bonus Action are equal to Actions. So for fighter 11 lvl gets 3 attacks per bonus action thanks to Extra Attack x2. Ascended Astation gets 1d10 necrotic damage to each shot. Arrow of Many Target can bounce 3 times and it only halves the damage of piercing damage excluding Sharpshooter! So you deal FULL damage with other added dmg like this 1d10 necrotic or 1d4 Bolt of Celestial Light. I also Paralized Raphael, so every hit within 3 meters is auto crit and it spreads with Arrows of Many Target. ALL enemies get auto crit. This is just ridiculus and Its not even fully min maxed.

Would have some difficulty moving that many barrels throughout the entire house since you can't return to camp at any point inside of it.

      Asmodeus is a quasi deity, he will rofl stomp you even at level 20. Even just taking his pure CR, that's level 30. He is just immune to most damage, including negative, cold, fire and poison, and resistant to everything else but light and is just immune to any spell of level 6 or lower.
      He can cast many spells just at will, including fireball, chain lightning, a powerful charm, curse and animate dead , all at highest level.
      He also regenerates 30 hp every round and overall can't be killed in the first place if you don't manage to conquer hell. He would just respawn there.
      He's always in advantage with his saving throws against magical and can chose 5 times per day (only limited for the gameplay) to succeed no matter what.
      He will also just regenerate ALL damage, including cut of limbs and any kind of magical or other effect over 3 rounds, what will also protect him from being attacked in the first place.
      Oh, and beyond the other most powerful spells he can cast, he can create a zone of abslute darkness that not only takes your senses, but crushes you with 8D10 damage per round and reduce you and everything you wear to dust when you get to 0 HP in it.
      He can make 5 attacks per round agains targets up to 600y away doing 50 damage on average per hit. And he can do that on top of casting a spell every round.
      He can teleport at will inside the nine hells every round or outside the nine hells as far as he can see.
      As a nice bonus, he can grant you a wish if you sell him your soul - and he can change the contract if it pleases him without negative effects on him.
      Oh, and just standing close to him (200feet radius), will force you to make a Wisdom saving throw against 30 or you will cover in fear.
      Oh and at the end of each round he gains a bonus action, wher he can:
      a) start enslaving you by just looking at you (what also does 3D10 psychic damage)
      b) raise a soul and giving it a new body (will always be that of a tiefling), with all its memories changed to serve him as loyal servant.
      c) can call for up to 9 inhabitants of hell every round with a CR of up to 20.
      d) create a giant ugly male mouth with teeth and hellfire, that acts like a portal and sucks in everyone in 60y range who does not make a wisdowm save against 25, leading to anywhere he pleases in the Nine Hells (including for example a chasm, a prison or a pool of lava).
      And that's just Asmodeus on his own, not talking about all the other lords and demons of hell.

    You can do 4 attacks per actions instead of 3 (and still have actions surge) with the following build:
    Gloom stalker ranger 5 for normal extra attack. plus you get an other extra attack on first round of combat.
    Warlock 5 for pact weapon extra attack which stacks with other sources of extra attack (bug ?)
    Fighter 2 for actions surge.

      You only get an extra attack with the melee weapon of choice, Gloom Stalker + Warlock = 3 attacks per round / 4 attacks in the first round.
      You can attack + bonus attack more times in the first round with 3 Gloom Stalker Hunter + 3 Thief Rogue + 6 Battle Master Fighter.
      This gives 2 bonus attacks, 1 ambush attack, 2 main weapon attacks in the first round, and 2 main attacks + 2 bonus attacks in subsequent rounds, without accounting action surge, potion of haste or potion of bloodlust.
      An Eldritch Blast build should top it with at least 20 attacks per round iirc (Warlock + Sorcerer + Fighter).

      Sure, 20 attacks that do 2d6+6 damage. Raphael will still have about 50% of his health left when you're done and then wreck you. But if you insist on going that route then you want to convert all your lower level slots into Sorcery Points and then you can convert those back into level 4 slots and max level every cast. 25 attacks.

    • @taa347
      @taa347 Рік тому

      ​@@lsaria5998 Assuming you're getting 5 casts in one round (haste, action surge, 2 bonus actions for quicken), it'd probably be fine to just go with a storm sorc (6 more damage per cast) or lightning draconic (5 more per cast from charisma), cast create water, then unload a chain lightning and 3 lightning bolts on him with 5/4 spell slots for something like 10d8 + 29d6 + 20 (assuming 5 charisma bonus. idk if it can be higher) doubled from the wet condition. Average of like 332 damage if he fails all his saves.
      Then you die lol
      Or if you went with fire draconic and just did 5 casts of the highest level scorching ray it would actually be 6, two 5, two 4 spell slots that's
      24(2d6+5) for 288 average damage. But if they're critting, it's obviously gonna be doubled for an average of 576.
      This isn't counting any magic items that might help you and it'd only be more efficient if you used mind sanctuary, I guess.
      Not that any of this is enough to match what the martials can do. They're far and away better thanks to all the busted magic items and action abilities
      Edit: I am fool. I forgot that the 5 levels to get action surge and the extra bonus mean you're only a level 7 sorc so you don't get 5th or 6th spell slots.
      This is much, much worse than I thought and puts casters even further behind than they were.

      @RatherEmpty Рік тому +1

      What part of the game are you currently on, because some of the explanation goes into spoiler territory. (1) They're all missing because Astarion he has a really high AC. You can see at the end of the video that most of his equipment adds to Armor Class. So none of them roll high enough to hit. (2) The dome is an illithid ability called 'Mind Sanctuary' that makes it possible to do actions and bonus actions interchangeably. (3) They are using several 'Arrow of Many Targets' which deal an additional half damage to three other targets in range.
