I just wanted to say that this was a really fun video to watch. Storm has always been so cool to me and is part of why I love spells and things that take advantage of the environment! Great stuff and you earned a new sub :)
@@InsightCheck Thank you so much for the support! I’m gonna be doing another lightning themed character down the line, something martial, so keep an eye for it!
Man I've enjoyed your videos recently, but this better mic is genuinely a fantastic upgrade. Makes it's easier to have your videos playing in the background 👍
@@WilliamPeters-f3s That's real good! I've only gotten up to that level twice, once with a battle master fighter in Princes of the Apocalypse, and again with an Eldritch Knight/War Wizard in Storm King's Thunder.
Enjoyed your Pacific Rim and Witcher builds as well. I would love your take on a Scarlet Witch/Dr. Strange aberrant mind multiclass with psionics and time themed build.
Awesome build! Loved having the Roadmap on screen with the build too. Lightning is such a fun damage type, I always wished it had more support in 2014 like fire did and I am so happy Witch Bolt got the boosts that it did.
@@ExploringtheBuild I’m Right there with you! I’d love to figure out a build using Witch Bolt, Booming Blade, and some sort of knock back. Maybe a tempest cleric!
here some comments: 5e cantrip do no significant damage at all. The only cantrip that can kin of compete are booming blade, green flame blade and true strike and only when weilded by class with a single attack (like a rogue) or a class that can use it with his extra attack feature (like a eldritch knight valor bard or bladesinger wizard) or without class feature (warlock agonizing blast other invocation, but even that, in 2024 and eldritch blast build deal very low damage, so low that Treantmonk no longer uses it as his baseline (defining what "good enough" damage is) The fighter dip is useless I know you are not an optimizing channel, but even flavor wise, fighter do not fit Storm, she has nothing of a fighter. much better go full sorcerer 20, you gain your spell faster and that armor proficiency is not worth it delaying it. Especially if you are not using truestrike, the weapon mastery from fighter is wasted. If you REALLY want fighter for some reason go fighter at level 1 for the extra HP at least But if it just the armor that you want your best option would be to go cleric or druid instead so at least you do not waste a spellcaster level and still gain your medium/heavy and gain a few more spell option to prepare each morning in 2024 Gust got replace with Elementalism, which do everything Gust do but also let you play with the other elements, giving an even better Storm feeling you don't need to waste your feat on elemental adept, you already have 3 elemental type in your build. If you face a monster resistant to lightning just use a cold spell. And the minimum of 2 damage is not worth a feat. Once again this does not make you feel like the character Storm. I mean in the shows I never saw Storm trying to fight a coldbase mutant with colder wind... she strike him with lightning. When facing a mutant resistance to lightning she freezes it. you are not building a Pikachu who "aim for the horn" here...
Thank you for the comment! Yeah you're right, full cantrip damage isn't significant at all. But I still feel like you need a cantrip that matches your character's theme just to have a free attack option. I definitely agree that the fighter dip felt awkward. I mainly went with it over Cleric or Druid so I wouldn't need a 13 Wisdom. That and the Defense Fighting Style makes the medium armor even better, I just can't stand having a low AC on my characters. I would have gone fighter first, but then the character would have no lightning spells at 1st level, and also proficiency in Strength saves instead of Charisma, which didn't feel right. But if you're starting at 3rd level than I'd say definitely start in fighter for the extra 4 Hitpoints! I did think about Elementalism, I wouldn't say that it replaced Gust, so much as its just a new spell. Gust can force movement, whereas Elementalism only creates the aesthetic effects. I think you're right about the Elemental Adept thing, especially once Transmuted spell becomes an option. I assumed it was kind of necessary for full casters, but looking back you make a good point about just swapping to a different element depending on who you are fighting. Thanks for the feedback, like I said I don't play alot of Full Casters, I usually go martial and Unga Bunga my way around, so I need all the advice I can get!

@@obrien1121 Those sound really fun! I’m trying to get better at Full Casters, so that might be just the thing!
Great build and nice sound.
Much better with a Mic

1:52 Not to mention the buff that lightning tether (or as you pleebs call it: witch bolt) got.
One of my favorite spell changes for 2024!
