THANKS FOR THE MENTION DUDE

[@bananaacquaintance569]

Minthara using Phalar Aluve is the ultimate “Fuck You” to Lolth

[@V1d3o]

A "taste the rainbow" build I was attempting to make myself! Great job

[@0katsuki0]

ONLY THE AVATAR MASTER OF ALL 10(?) ELEMENTS COULD STOP THEM

[@wasabi_pow101]

I'm really liking these "post-game" builds that you've been coming up with. And I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while now, that I'd love to have your take on. Now I know you plan on covering Wyll at some point, but likely it will be the version that's a Hunter Ranger that travels to Avernus with Karlach. That'll be great. However, an alternative origin build for Wyll that I've been thinking about is a version of him you can really only get if you play him as an origin character. An "evil" Wyll. A Wyll that still resents his father for basically disowning him because he made a pact with a devil, a Wyll that craves the infernal power given to him by his patron, a Wyll that follows Mizora's orders to a fault, a Wyll that is tired of hiding behind this "hero" guise. A Wyll Ravengard I've stylized as "The Scourge of Frontiers." Lemme know what you think.

[@HoboZone]

That's a really cool idea. I'll do that after the Ranger build.

[@eduardoserpa1682]

I really like that take, like he's given enough, and now it's time for him to take things for himself. I'm looking for my first "evil" run to be as Origin Wyll.

[@wasabi_pow101]

Awesome! I'm glad you both like it. I think it would be a dope origin build too. I hope it turns out well for you, as for Hobo I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@NaveSutlef]

Man, one of these days I have to fit Minthara on my team. This is awesome! The power of the Discord haha.

[@SeanConneZombie]

Lol, every time he is rattling off the numbers, I'm just waiting to hear "and a partridge in a pear tree"

[@anonymous99632]

Dex coming in clutch in Discord.

[@dexushun32]

Well i guess we succeded the Dex saving throw then Got it? Dex saving throw?...yeah no it was bad i know

[@dexushun32]

THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE! LIKE HOLY SHIT. now i really want Tav get hold of Soulbranding somehow(im going to wait for modding), because damn, this looks so effing fun, and its without GWM. And this what i would call an Elemental Knight Also Dex approves

[@HoboZone]

Minthara can cast Soul Branding on others.

[@dexushun32]

@@HoboZone Oh yeah i forgot she can do that. She can do that >:)

[@Llama2237]

There is a mod that I've used that (mostly) works (it works perfectly with soul branding) that let's you "learn" actions/bonus actions done by NPCS/other characters by spending an action and suffering some migraines to learn the action. the action specifically has to be able to target people so you can't get flight with this, but you can grab like, shadow step from dark justiciars in Act 2, Minthara's Soul branding, a Duergar's cantrip invisibility, etc etc. and you can only have up to 5 at a time before you need to forget one.

[@RandomGuy010]

Had no idea shriek ticked once for every source of damage on an attack. Damn.

[@thomasrosendahl2783]

I have an interesting request, can you make a Jack of all trades build that can pass most of the skill checks, cast spells and melee/tank. Mine is 10 levels Lore Bard+ 1 dip War Cleric and Wizard. Would be interesting to see your taken on a all in one main character.

[@Chris_the_Nerd]

Hope everything goes well with the fam!

[@jakeparkinson8929]

I curse you because I have to try something new now XD. I was thinking about a minmaxed lightning hand xbow build. Ironically a nature cleric build. Divine strike works identically to divine smite... I was thinking thief/cleric/fighter. Use a sorcerer to twin spell drake throat glaive on two +2 hand xbows for lightning damage. Use lightning arrows... Use ranged lightning divine strike as main action, use divine strike as cost free reaction on bonus action + sneak attack... Be half-elf/elf for ray of frost and wear +1 chain mail to reduce slashing by 1 + h-armour master to reduce slashing by an extra 3 + ritual dagger... So you use sacrifice to create a pool of blood and turn yourself into a pain-t-brush pre-combat + ray of frost to convert blood to ice to water + watersparker boots for lightning charges + sparks wall ring + Gloves of Belligerent Skies + ring of absolute force?

[@robertmarange9225]

Awesome build, as usual. There are a lot of feats, races, and other ways to get dice rerolls on characters. How about a build focusing on rerolls. Sounds strange, I know, but it's a guarantee nobody else is doing it and I also guarantee you'll make it work. The Lucky F**k build!

[@stevenfournier1933]

Flail of ages for dual wielded can add one more permanent buff on sword. One of three elements.

[@HoboZone]

Yes but it won't stack with Drakethroat and you need to take Dual Wielder

[@yahoomcrazy]

21:08 someone watches TFS DBZ Abridged I see. A man of culture lol.

[@HoboZone]

I didn't even realize I said that at the time lol. But yeah, been watching them for years

[@brianjones5418]

Interesting I'm still waiting for someone to make the other side of the wow style death knights the frozen melee style

[@SeanConneZombie]

It's the caption planet attack build, lol.

[@EclipseFactor]

Next is the question how many resistances can you get on one person without warding bond

[@HoboZone]

Welp, Bear Barbarian Githyanki gets all of them. But I could try to do that without it.

[@EclipseFactor]

@@HoboZone I completely forgot about Bear Barbarian

[@kingdedede933]

You could use the Ring of Absolute Force to give Thunder Damage and get a better weapon to use, possibly the Legendary rapier to also free up the helm with its active ability? Now I'm starting to wonder what could be done here!

[@HoboZone]

Yeah, but then getting poison is much less reliable. Also, with this setup, Phalur Aluve actually ends up being really strong with how damage riders work with its ability.

[@kingdedede933]

@@HoboZone How does Savage attacker and/or the Half-Orc Savage Attacks? I could have sworn it procs off different damage types with criticals involved..

[@jakeparkinson8929]

I wish elements monk had more spells, and ki-spells cost a bit less.

[@SeanConneZombie]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you have a character with the glave use it's buff on another character, and it auto applies to the main hand weapon?

[@HoboZone]

Probably. I always drop it on the floor since I'm used to twin casting it

[@pal7316]

Question : can't you twin the draconic element weapon spell and choose 2 different damage types ? this would allow you to use a different weapon

[@ritabuba4831]

Does it work the same as mixing colours? You know, when you combine the most vibrant pigments and you get this... goopy... grayish... boring thing... Edit: I just realised it can sound pretty negative TwT. I like the build, it's just something it reminds me of because of all the damage types and their colours!!

[@HoboZone]

Well I normally don't like to make builds just for the sake of power, so I guess you could say that?

[@alessandrogarofalo9951]

Build would be even stronger activating divine smite on reaction to sneak attacks (or the other way around)😅

[@HoboZone]

They can, the enemy just needs to not die before they can activate.

[@alessandrogarofalo9951]

@@HoboZone right 😂

[@harrisondunn5376]

Out of curiosity does sorcerers extended spell work on the “ Shriek” ability? Because I know some weapon buffs work with sorcerer abilities like twin. If it does work it would solve the problem of it only lasting 5 turns

[@HoboZone]

The ability in question has to based on a spell. Drakethroat works because it's an elemental weapon clone, but Phalur Aluve doesn't as its unique.

[@harrisondunn5376]

@@HoboZoneAhhh ok, too bad then but other than that amazing video as usual! Definitely going to try something like this

[@seanthegamer46_80]

Wait how do you stick divine strike with a sneak attack?

[@HoboZone]

As long as you meet the requirements for both Divne Smite and Sneak Attack and have them both set to trigger automatically, they can both be used in a single attack.
