It'd be nice to know, when playing thru as whatever class, which items (weapons, consumables, equipables, throwables etc) I should look at, and a reference video for each class makes that info easy to find. Plus, more videos! Win win. You could rate each item based on power, but also on party/class crosspressures, so in demand items couldn't be S tier unless they were definitively best used on that class, for example.

Shoutout to Corellon's Grace ...especially if you're a monk. +1 to unarmed attack rolls and damage is pretty impressive, considering how early you can get this and that you can simply buy it off a vendor. I usually buy it anyway even when I don't have a monk in my party. It's better than the generic quarterstaff Gale will be using at this point and its +2 to saving throws makes it a handy swap-in item later in the game when you've long since retired it from combat duty (for certain dialogue-sequences that require saving throws). All you have to do is strip the character who needs the bonus of any armor they might be wearing. I'm also pretty sure it stacks with Safeguard Shield's effect, resulting in +3 to saving throws overall.

Regarding the Hunter's Bow I'd mention one more thing, that there are some bonuses and abilities in the game that require you to concentrate on a spell, and while there are many other ways to do this using scrolls or other items, having a free concentration spell for the whole day that increases your damage even further combined with those other effects is just extremely powerful.

Another thing to note about the everburn blade which I learned from a comment on another video possibly on this channel. It counts as a magical weapon for bypassing resistance against non-magical bludgeoning piercing and slashing. Which means that it bypasses Zhalk's resistances and is absolutely worth the action to equip it if you're able to disarm him. Now I don't recall any other fights early on where it's relevant to bypass resistances like this but it's a fun thing to keep in mind.

Everburn Blade- To get dippable fire in EVERY battle location you are going to have to find a way to produce it because it's definitely not always readily available. It's not the first thing to do that one thinks of. I would prefer to have the Everburn blade then I have to think every time, "Oh I have to create a fire source to dip my greatsword." Knife of the Undermountain King- When paired with the Sword of Life Stealing in Act 2 then eventually adding in the Risky Ring and the Killer's Sweetheart one becomes a killing machine. It's a great weapon for all acts.

Reverberation gear can knock them prone and do more damage. Radiant orb gear can make them combat ineffective. It is a real hoot. Ceph's build is quite good.

Is knife of the undermountain king really still bugged or has nobody gone back to test it? I'm really baffled by the idea that there are still so many items in the game that have either outright wrong tooltips or have their special effects entirely or partially missing after the game has been out for well over a year. It's not like Larian have just been twiddling their thumbs. They keep trying and failing to fix trading exploits after all. And I don't believe that nobody went and reported these really glaring issues (Before anyone decides to be a jackass, I went and reported a bunch of bugs myself on my first playthrough.) However, even if nobody reported all that stuff, Larian has to be aware that there are still some bugged items. I feel like in terms of scope and complexity they could pick one guy, let them spend an afternoon scouring the items on the wiki, and I bet 80% of these issues could be resolved within a week, at least to the point where it's ready for testing so that it can be put in the next patch cycle. I mean seriously, suggesting that most of these things aren't easy fixes would be an insult to the devs' competence. There's going to be some on_attack or on_preview_attack event. When you equip the knife of the undermountain king you attach the Shadow Blade effect to those events. Shadow Blade gets executed when the events are triggered, and it checks. What is the target of the attack? Is that target obscured? If yes, add Shadow Blade to the sources of advantage. Can it really be significantly more complex than this? Sorry for the rant, I just don't comprehend what is happening there. I seriously hope that the wiki is just outdated and most of these bugs actually have been fixed already.

@@Mebsuta Flying once per turn as a bonus will trigger it, but not enough to truly enable the build. Other sources of flight cost only movement, meaning you can fly many times on a single turn and thus trigger Hammerhraft's damage very often.

i absolutely love your videos but can you do one that doesn't focus on exploiting mechanic interactions for us simpletons with an iq less than 178

Love your videos, but honestly, you could trim them down quite a lot so they're not all an hour long. There is quite a lot of extra fluff you don't need to include. Example, you mention where you got the slides are from the baldur's gate wiki and are trimmed down and etc... . None of this is necessary to get your points across. Again, not hating, just offering some constructive feedback. Keep up the great work :)
