Acid/Poison Build: Biomancer

[@Akoraz2010]

It’s so tough with poison because a lot of enemies (and mainly bosses) are straight immune to poison.

[@rollforbooty]

Yeah a ton are, it totally sucks! For them I would prioritize acid

[@austinorino9503]

Yep

[@rollforbooty]

I forgot to talk about headwear! I used the coldbrim hat a lot, adds Encrusted with frost once a round when you poison or acid a dude. The diadem of synergy is also a good idea as it increases your physical damage a ton. Boots I was switching between the acid boots and the Stormy clamour. The acid boots really didn’t do much for me, I made tons of acid puddles but it was never a real problem, but reverberation is always helpful. I’d use those if someone else in your party isn’t

[@jackripley3906]

Speaking of acid, do you think Melf's First Staff might be a good starter "weapon" in Act 1?

[@herobrineking2514]

As a geneticist and bioengineere I aproove this build. Cheers from the lab!

[@rollforbooty]

Bahaha! I’m honored as hell, thanks lab!

[@Therealest_Eman]

This is super helpful! I just started tactician for my third run with a Githyanki sorcerer dude 🧙🏻‍♀️ I can’t wait to level up and take those rounds of warlock

[@rollforbooty]

Hell yeah dude!

[@greenchilistudioz4537]

There is Melf's staff that gives Melf's Acid Arrow, incase you need extra acid spell.

[@northofself]

Your synergy with the pact'd halberd and healing looks fun! I went into honour mode with plans for a similar thorn-blade caster build, with the end-game aspiration of abusing the virulent venom ring, the old staff of cherished necromancy and guaranteed crit mechanics. What my tav turned into, however, has been a 6 evocation wiz into 6 black draconic sorc though. Up to 4 casts of almost-unavoidable acid splash (that only shield-masters and evasion-users can dodge), with damage stacking from things like the potent robes, the elemental amulet and cull the weak... well, it's all felt insanely low-risk by the point it turned on in Act 2. Thank the gods for the green magics 🙏

[@rollforbooty]

Thanks! Ive wanted an excuse to swing this thing around for a while lol

[@AsterSea]

I've never won anything from a raffle before! It was really cool seeing the RFB president calling me out all of a sudden on a build video. It's probably the biggest jumpscare I've had all year. Thank you AGAIN for the $100 gift card! 😊

[@rollforbooty]

Youre so welcome my friend!! Im just stoked I was able to give back a little what so many others have given me!

[@astellios1748]

For headslot: arcan diadem is better then u get your charisma modifier extra on top with your meele attacks over arcan synergie. And because u poisining, arcan synergie is always active.

[@philwendisch4894]

Thank you for this build idea! Something that came in my mind as i saw your video was the Drakethroat Glaive sold by roah moonglow in act 2 at moonrise. With this weapon you can turn any weapon into an elemental weapon. Also worth mentioning is the staff markokeshkir. With kereshkas favor : acid it lets you create noxious fumes when you deal acid damage with spells. But now i have to start a new run. Thanks.

[@philwendisch4894]

Also honourble mention would be flail of the ages wich is Sold by the little Lady in front of sorc sundries

[@LANV17DITTO]

It's a shame Sorcerers can't learn Melf's Acid Arrow, I wanted to do an Acid Durge but there is only Acid Splash. So i went for a Wizard instead but i don't get the Draconic Bloodline subclass. Maybe i'll multiclass but idk.

[@D_Quinn]

Alternatively, you could dual wield the djinni scimitars.. I know, not really intended to be obtainable, but very powerful poison weapons nonetheless.

[@rollforbooty]

They are v powerful, I thought about mentioning them but I steer away from them and the mace. Idk I pretend they don’t exist haha they just feel like cheating to me even though they’re totally in the game for you to use

[@Hudsley]

Ive been playing a dark urge playthrough recently and ive noticed the slayer form is wayyyy too underpowered. Making a build exclusively for the urge's slayer form would be hype if you dont mind.

[@rollforbooty]

I’ll add it to the list, sounds fun!

[@markf9138]

This music hurts my brain. Too loud and distracting.

[@Caolboy]

Cool build idea! Wanted to see if there was alot of synergy and BG3 really does have some amazing buildcrafting options. I will say tho the Handmaiden's Mace in Act 3 is basically the Club of Hill Giant Strength but with the added benefit of an extra 1d6 poison damage. Might be worth if you didn't wanna go Polearm master for your feat in this build 🤙

[@rollforbooty]

I love that mace it’s such a shame you get it so late in the game!

[@TheDeadb3ar]

Reeeally fun build, definitely going to use! Also remember "Reactionary" is a political term that doesn't mean what you meant, you'd wanna say reactive or reaction-based attack

[@rollforbooty]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@GheestyGhost.]

What’s the weapon you are using if you don’t mind me asking

[@greenchilistudioz4537]

To bad this build and any fire build is consider worthless, even if not on honour mode lmao

[@philzzera]

I need your mod list

[@rollforbooty]

I’m not using mods for this build! Which ones are you referring too?

[@Rush2nd]

@rollforbooty i think he may be referring to the gun that one of your party members is wielding

[@rollforbooty]

@@Rush2nd oh duh lol that’s the artificer mod. I made a video about that and go into how to install it! I’ll grab you a link hol up
