13:28 Reckless attack is not a reaction. It's just that the game allows you to use it like that for the sake of it. It is like divine smite on critical hit. The good thing about using reckless attack *before* attacking is mainly to fish crits, even if you already have really good % to hit
Cool build one improvement i could see would be using gith race for medium armour as well as acess fo the silver sword which does extra pysic dmg on hit and also lrovides immunity to charm ans better saving throws. Also the gith flying boots which makes sorc dip less needed. Could the go 6 barb or options mentioned. Might also smooth out leveling as could start warlock.
Let me know what you think, and recommend me some non-meta builds (cause those have been done 1000x)! Also, my apologies if I'm pronouncing Agathys wrong (which I think I am). Just the way I default to saying it lol.
I'm assuming you'd start land or spores since moon druid is like the shapeshifting subclass. And yeah she had the "weapons" I guess for a dual wield build but wasn't that great with em lol.
I was playing around with something similar but with the Diadem of Arcane Synergy to double my Charisma damage bonus and something like The Skinburster to proc it and get tons of force conduit charges for damage reduction with the Tiger Bloodlust sweep attacks. With Mirror + hag hair help you can get to a 24 Charisma so...the damage gets nasty lol.
wow, thanks!) I've been puzzling over how to combine warlock and barbarian for 2 days now. I really want to create a drunken build for a good wagering with friends for the sake of experimentation. Finally I found the basis)
6 Beartotem Barbarian 6 Fiend bladelock The ultimate tank Kill something and get temp hp Bear tote causes you to be resistant to all but psychic damage
would it be worth it to double up with both str and cha or stacking dmg modifiers ? or does using pact of the blade swap it so that you only use cha as a modifier?
I don’t see why not. I haven’t beat the game as dark urge, but I’m dark urge in my honour mode playthrough @lvl 5. The invisibility cloak is amazing early game.
Wouldn't it be better to just set dex to 14 as that is the max with medium armor and equip the helldusk gloves for an extra d6 of necrotic or fire damage. You could have a stat array of 10 str, 14 dex (13+1 racial), 23 con (from necklace), 12 or 14 for wis and int (interchangeable depending on wat you want), and 20 cha (15+2 racial+1 hag+2 asi). You could also get 16 Con from dropping int and wis and use the periapt of wound closure and the ring of regen for 58 healing per turn (18 (6+6+6 from cleave) x 3 attacks + 4 from ring of regen). 10 str, 14 dex, 16 con, 8 int, 10 wis, 20 cha Also instead of sorcerer you could go rogue for a free d6 of damage per turn or go back to barb for lvl 7 to get the free +3 initiative. Also if you go aspect of the tiger instead at lvl 6, instead of using helldusk gloves you could use gauntlets of hill giant strength to get a 23 strength and have a higher average than with helldusk gloves. Another interesting thing you could do is go 5 barb 5 warlock and 2 fighter and use the 2nd idea I talked about and get 112 hp in 1 turn, without opportunity attacks. Another interesting build would be to forgo the bleeding all together and go bear hear and aspect of the chimpanzee. Go 7 barb, 5 warlock. Aspect of the chimpanzee blinds(all attack rolls against the creature have advantage) a target if they are hit by thrown camp supplies. Take tavern brawler instead of GWM and don't bind your pact weapon as it doesn't allow you to throw it. If you aren't going to be the party face then dump charisma and boost strength and other stats, Doing this allows you to boost other stats, as well as equip the helldusk gloves instead of hill giant gauntlets. You could also get Nyrulna and the returning pike for thrown weapons. Also Really liked the video keep it up. Edit* Literally realized right after posting I forgot about armor of agility and yuan-ti scale male so.... I guess this really only applies to a run were you lost Dammon. To make up for this if you want to use the gloves of dexterity to keep the 18 dex and instead use the elixirs of hill giant strength and cloud giant strength which are pretty easy to farm. Also if you are doing this build you can use Duke Ravenguard's sword for a +2 cha and the birthright hat for another +2 cha for a total of 24 cha. This would really on affect your spell attack rolls and slightly increase your average damage, but your initiative would suffer from not having the helmet in the video.
There are many gear and multiclass varieties with this setup lol. It's not too dependent on any single piece of gear, so you have a lot of options. You could keep dex at 14, and just use the hellrider longbow for +3 initiative. You lose crit chance though. The yuan-ti scale mail is nice too, but adamantine keeps you from getting critted and gives reeling (which I was going for inflicting conditions here). And looking back at it, helldusk gloves would have stacked nicely with the aoe attacks, so those are a great option. The chimpanzee setup sounds interesting. But at this point, I'd imagine throwing builds have been done 1000x over, maybe not building only around the aspect though!
youre amazing Crozyn, keep these builds coming friend!
Thanks for watching! And that's the plan, until we get an Elden Ring DLC release date!

I would like to see a "two-weapon druid". It's supposedly Jaheira's build, but she looks tricky.

No problem! You don't get the extra warlock attack to stack with the barb extra attack in honour mode, but it doesn't affect the build too much.
@@Crozyn Oh thank you
Agathys is pronounced like Agatha and thesis; Aga-thiss. Love this build super dope synergy just wish rage replenished off for a short rest 😅
6 Beartotem Barbarian 6 Fiend bladelock
The ultimate tank
Kill something and get temp hp
Bear tote causes you to be resistant to all but psychic damage

They don’t stack. Pact of the blade uses charisma only.
If you use the great sword that gives str damage bonus an extra time, then use strength potions as that does stack
How are you getting reaction spells while raging? Not a mod?
No mods. You can use reactions while raging, just not casting spells themselves.
Can you do dark urge with this build for origin
I don’t see why not. I haven’t beat the game as dark urge, but I’m dark urge in my honour mode playthrough @lvl 5. The invisibility cloak is amazing early game.
Really confused, my tiger rage cleaves only do 5 to 7? Am i doing something wrong?
You have to bind your weapon every long rest, otherwise it will scale with strength and do little damage.
You do a sweep but each hit dose half damage normal weapon damage...and what Crozyn said hehe

Greatsword or sword of justice. Use eldritch blast and hex until level 4.
@@Crozyn thanks im level 4
