Oils of sharpness actually only benefit weapons that don’t already have a +1 to attacks and damage. It’s basically an oil that temporarily turns non magical weapons into magical weapons. It’s not doing anything to crimson mischief
@@Sam-gl4qnyeah he used the oil on magical items; plus for some reason it’s the only oil/poison that works on thrown weapons when you throw (returning pike for example). The bahlist armor is just one less thing to cast or pre buff before a fight.
I don't think they are being slept on though, I'm pretty sure most would agree that bard is the best class. You can be a skill monkey, the party face, the spellcaster, melee dpr, ranged dpr, etc etc
Hehe yea the mystic carrion body parts blow up quite bad; first time I did it I blew myself up sky high. I reloaded and threw it at him and then blew carrion up with his body part. Quite odd it had this mechanic.
Sword Bard is unironically one of the best ranged attackers, with Slashing Flourish. Look up Sin's Bard videos, they are cheese. It's basically Bard 6/Assassin 4/Fighter 2.
You get 14 AC from the Bhaalist armor, plus one for every 2 points into Dex past level 10. So he's getting 14+4 from the armor, +2 from Hastened, +2 from cloak/boots, and +1 from Defence fighting style at level 2 Paladin. Without haste you can still easily achieve 21 AC with light armor equipped which is nuts. Make sure you're putting at least 16 points into your Dexterity stat to gain maximum Dex from level 1.
Bard gets two attacks per turn, slashing flourish counts as one attack but can hit two enemies at once, attacking with the off-hand weapon is a bonus action, Spirit Guardians was cast before combat started
@@Sogazu she is a sword bard, sword bard gets extra attack on level 6, so every time a sword bard attacks they can attack again, this coupled with the speed potion that he thrown on the ground (gives a new action when used) made him able to attack so many times
Close fight, you were lucky to make it out alive
Excellent, I was counting on you to upload level 12 version of this build and I'm not disappointed :)
you are really know how to abuse damage to enemy. i trully respect and loves your videos
Mystic carion knows it’s coming and tries to walk out of the aura lol. And still couldn’t do anything about it.

Pretty sure you still get the effect, only the magical part doesn't matter

Bards are the most versatile class. You should make a guide because so many people sleep on them!

@@ignis.valorant bard is quintessential of dnd and i love it
yea me for example didnt know bard had this potential, i highly agree he should make a video about the class
Build guide soon? :D
yes, i have plans for 4 different builds but i wouldn't say soon. I have footages ready for edit, just not a lot of time.
@@sintee106 Take your time! Your showcase and build vids are the best, and they’re always a joy to watch - no matter how long we’ll have to wait
@@sintee106 Awesome! Can't wait, thanks
Thank you for all you've done Sin tee
Out of curiosity for this run, what are the builds of your other 3 squadmates? Thanks!
Welcome back!
Hehe yea the mystic carrion body parts blow up quite bad; first time I did it I blew myself up sky high. I reloaded and threw it at him and then blew carrion up with his body part. Quite odd it had this mechanic.
Do you have a build guide for this? gonna run this as my mc with your light cleric, a thrower, and wiz.
Does soul branding work with unarmed attacks?
90 piercing dmg? dang
Why the shadow-cloaked ring, and not the caustic band?
I think its more damage
Do you think Duellist's Prerogative works well with this build?
You'd have to change two-weapon fighting style with College of Swords Bard to dueling, but it could work.
What do you think would be a good line of thinking for a solo rogue? Thief? Assassin?
Not playing pure rogue... other than that Assassin if you always kill in the first turn attacking with invis
Assassin/Gloomstalker

May be a silly question, but how do you get rhapsody and ascendant astarion?
wym? just loot cazador
I understand the rest but how did you get to 23 ac with just bhaalist armor? Using that setup i only got 16+2 from the cape and the boots
You get 14 AC from the Bhaalist armor, plus one for every 2 points into Dex past level 10.

Why does your combat log say + 8 Strength modifier? Elixirs?
cloud giant elixir
How did you manage to get so many actions on one turn like that? Potion of speed is supposed to give you only one extra action, isn’t it?
Bard gets two attacks per turn, slashing flourish counts as one attack but can hit two enemies at once, attacking with the off-hand weapon is a bonus action, Spirit Guardians was cast before combat started
Is your character oatbreaker?
No, it is not.
Vengeance
How did you get spirit guardians if you don't mind my asking? Is it a perk or something you can grab as a bard?
On level 10 of bard (and level 6 of lore bard) you get magical secrets, basically you gain acess to 2 spells from others classes
Magical Secrets
@@gillysillychantillythecute8211 Ah cool, thank you :)
