I appreciate the work and effort to create this videos but slowing down a bit and timestamps would go a very long way.

[@klstay]

The thing is Graceful Cloth is in a location which seals off the grove by going there if you have not finished with the goblins (one way or another) by then. Auntie Ethel while still there (do not travel south into swamp yet) will sell elixirs to you for the same effect to get you this stat until you decide to go through mountain pass.

That lightning build I'm pretty sure is also insane when running Magic Missile. Pretty sure each dart that hits is applying stacks of lightning charges

[@CrimFerret]

The radiant/reverb light cleric is absolutely OP. The fact that you can get all the gear for it other than the rings in act one just makes it more so.

[@jameshill2450]

There's a dagger in the goblin camp that will help the first build in some places. In the room where you break out Halsin, loot the skeletons inside the worg cage. You'll find a +1 dagger that gives goblins disadvantage when attacking you.

[@clarablue6572]

this was so helpful!! one for act 2 and 3 would be so helpful there gets to be so many items it can be overwhelming

[@elfhririn]

Dexterity checks are not dex saving throws or dex-based attack rolls. But they are every other d20 w/ dex. I.e. sleight of hand, stealth, acrobatics, & raw dex checks. However yeah the item & cats grace buff are both extremily powerful. Esp w/ greater invisibility up in combat, or critical mass of stealing bonus' to shoplift.

[@dustinbailey7490]

Nice! Thank you!

[@02091992able]

Graceful Cloth also gives advantage on dexterity checks. Which mainly means lockpicking, pickpocketing and trap disarming. Same thing you would get from the thieves' gloves. If you are a monk, you can fully use the gloves that give lightning charges on unarmed attacks as well as melee weapon attacks. Since monks can use unarmed attacks as a bonus action. As long as the weapon you are using isn't twohanded heavy weapon that you are proficient with you get this action. Anything able to be used in one hand with a shield counts.

[@anthonymorris1360]

Great video, many thanks!

[@johnyoungerman1857]

Yep, excellent early builds and quite findable items. Thx for the video as always. Peace

[@MrPixelater]

Awesomes as always!!!

[@Crispebakein]

The lightning set, if you are a punching and throwing character, like a monk, you can combine the punching effects of the gloves with the tavern brawler feat. Your bonus is added to your attack roll and damage twice, not just once but twice. You will almost never miss if you need to punch or throw if you ever run out of spells or for whatever reason, using a spell in that moment would be detrimental.

[@neojb1989]

A really simple single-target damage combo that I really like Early On is Phalar Aluve + Magic Missle. Make Phalar Aluve shriek and it'll apply the bonus thunder damage to every hit of magic missle. So you're adding an extra 1d4 of thunder damage to each magic missle. You can pair it with those Belligerent Sky gloves and just spam reverberations on a single person as long as you have magic missle. If you can have someone else use Shriek for you, then you can add SpellSparkler for another handful of damage to your missles as well, plus the amulet that gives you 1 extra missle per cast of it.

[@kitrozon4422]

Thanks for the info

[@dubcOG610]

I combined the first and second item combos to make a ranged reverb build. The Harold 2h xbow also can cast bane on hit and with the boots it’s super OP. With a strong investment in invis potions and bloodthirst elixir you can solo anything. I solo’d act II using this on normal easily. I used 6 Ranger 6 Rogue and used plenty of silence, many targets and transpose arrows.

4:05 - it doesn't create a negative feedback loop, it creates a positive feedback loop of negative effects. Just a teeny tiny correction, sorry if it's tiresome but that stuff irks me.

There are a LOT of items that increase your crit threshold as well in Act 1, I really hope you cover those items in the next video!

[@nebuul]

Another ridiculous lightning combo is the Trident quest reward from which you grabbed the staff. Give that to a tiger animal heart barbarian. The bleeding cleave attack they get during rage will decimate everything because both the cleave and the bleed itself benefit from the lightning charge damage.

Add the diadem of arcane synergy to the archer build and go for a level dip on a spell caster so you can add your spell casting modifier to the damage as well. Very powerful on a swords bard with flurry.

[@scaryhairylemons9911]

[@JMarcus52]

[@Firespark81]

Yes in testing I noticed that it was a bit rough play with others.

[@SkilledKill]

That is similar to real DnD tbh. Friendly fire is one of the top 5 causes of Player character deaths

[@melanyebaggins]

that's why I never wear the boots. I give them to Gale :D

[@sleepyiguess]

Oh well, L teammates

[@ewok40k]

Ive put an electric archer build ranger last playthru. Joltshooter, jolty vest, boots that generate lightning charges, it was awesome. Once I got club of giant strength, though, I switched to titanstring. Also there is nice combo for those who find their melee fighters always few meters short of enemy. Swiresy boots, monster hunter glaive and the robe of +2 dex you mentioned all add up to extra 4,5 m jump. Tried it on Karlach...

[@ProbeAway]

Cats grace (including from the graceful cloth) only gives advantage on DEX ability checks, not DEX saving throws. They are different kinds of rolls. Still good gear but it won’t help you avoid prone or AoE damage. It will help with acrobatics, stealth and sleight of hand checks

[@B1gLupu]

For the first build, I think the Adamant Shield is better than the Hunter's Dagger. The shield inflicts Reeling and/or Prone much easier than the dagger does Rupture.

[@thaedleinad]

There's a glove set that sets your dexterity to 18 as well, it's sold by the egg quest NPC close the crèche. I did a build with 20 strenght from feats and 18 dexterity without using said club in the video, absolute OP. Edit: as pointed out, it's not the woman outside the crèche, but the storage trader NPC inside.

[@DiZtheJedi]

Gloves of Dexterity are sold by the gith merchant inside of the creche.

[@thaedleinad]

@@DiZtheJedi thanks for the correction! Did not remember perfectly.

[@fediken83]

I did that too, on my Pala-Lock. Combo it with that Yuan-Ti armor at Last Light and a good shield and you've got AC for days. While still dealing great melee and Force damage.

[@thaedleinad]

@@fediken83 did the exact same.

[@Faded_illusionz]

Lightning Aura shield u can get in grymforge would go great with the Lightning items

[@palid11]

4:54 no, DEX saving throws are not included, only DEX ability checks - nevertheless the Graceful Cloth is still easily an endgame item

[@linceaerian]

Not bad, quite a lot of thing that I already used for the reverb I use Phalar Aluve song in place of ruptured to add more damage on my cleric (and the guardian of light), for my thief I use double hand crossbow but I'll try the titanstring with the cub.

[@FunSam]

Throwing also activates unarmed attack conditions so sparkle hands is not just for punching builds. They're slightly better than uninhibited kushigo gloves for a throwing build.

[@Firespark81]

Like I stated in another post. I just grouped these into combos that worked well together in order to make the info more digestible feel free to mix and match whatever you want. Many of these items are very strong on their own. 😁

[@Sol-cd6mx]

Any evolutions to the baneful build for act 2 and 3?😅or any of the other builds?

[@Oshkoshbaby]

The archery build is insanely powerful on a sword bard.

[@freman007]

I'm fairly sure that if you have an Eldritch Knight bind a weapon that triggers off of being bound you can then pass it to another character and it'll still have its effect. Just as an aside, the Hunter's Dagger is a reoccurring item from Roah in Act 1 (like the Thorn Blade from Dammon in Act 2) so you can buy as many as you want so long as you long res/level up characters. To get the Shapeshifter's Boon Ring (which is BiS for a skill monkey) you can slap Strange Ox in Act 1 with your Mage Hand while your party hides in the prison area, and then, once the Hand is dead, speak to the Ox with your Hand's controller. That will give you a trade screen where he wants you to give him coin to improve your relationship, but instead you can just buy his ring.

[@Cyb3rM1nd]

If you bind a weapon and unequip it or hand it off it becomes unbound. So, nope. It is also better to kill Strange Ox in Act 2 because you get Hat of Fire Acuity. It's the only way to get the hat. You can also complete his quest in Act 3 to get the ring and he becomes an ally in the final stage - and he's a decent one - I prefer not to for RP reasons. He's a follower of an Evil God of Death, Cyric, and despite saying he just wants to live as an Ox, when appearing as an ally at the end he does mention he's been having fun murdering people (as in, innocent people not your enemies). He's an evil character.

[@freman007]

@@Cyb3rM1nd Yes, but getting the ring in Act 1 doesn't prevent you killing him for the hat in Act 2.

[@nipsoffortune4780]

Wolf Heart barbarian with Sasser(Silence) greatsword+ tiger heart bleed aoe slash for bleed for 2 turn on up to 3 people per swing(You get two at level 5). I set up Reverberations for my spell casters and at level 6 I can either go tiger aspect for +5 to hit to bleeding enemies with great weapon fighter...or The Maim enemies that are bleeding,makeing 3 enemies per turn have movement. You can get both tiger aspect and Badger aspect when you hit 12...but for the extra chance to hit I'd take tigar at 6 with great weapon fighter. If you wanna be weird take one level of monk to get +2 to AC. I have 18 dex (cats grace chest) my +2 ASI in con for more hp and AC from barb unarmored defences and finally putting the reat into Wis for saves and that one level of monk. I dump Str due to the fact I have 20+potions of Hill giants strengths. With ring of protection, cape of defence and the gloves that add 2 Ac while not wearing armor...I have 24-25 Ac without a shield 💀 Oh and the part Ranger and Main spellscaster have Blessing of Blooooooor for advantage on Attack rolls agaisnt bleeding enemies.

[@male_maid5951]

Way more powerful is this combo except using the Periapt of Wound Closure and the Shattered Flail to essentially heal 18-36 damage a turn guaranteed.

[@DSqu4red.]

For the builds that cause/need an enemy to miss, make sure you turn off Karmic Dice

[@fediken83]

Or just don't use that kind of build. It's not consistent at all. But to each their own.

[@Griffex394]

Shocking graps already has Advantage on metal, so you don't need the lightning gloves

[@jonathanhibberd9983]

True, but this gives advantage to any attack, not just that one spell. This build is more for casters, but there's a great build that works with melee, an alternate armor and boots (I forget what they are). The armor causes lightning damage to any creature that hits you, and the boots give lightning charges when you dash. Put them on a rogue or monk that can dash as a bonus action, and now you've got a lightning-based melee fighter.

[@kaelcastle700]

I need help building the reverberation build for classes and such, who should i use so i can dodge everything? And what should their stats be? Im using karlach as an eldritch knight but she isnt dodge nearly as much as i would like, level rn is level 6 and im starting act 2. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

[@evanperry6190]

couple easy ways to not get hit: Eldrich knight is def one of the best options, just abuse the shield spell+a shield+blur scroll. That with any decent heavy armour (adamantium splint, +1chain, ect) is giving an ac of 17(base heavy)+2(shield)+5(shield spell) + 1(defense fighting style) for 25 ac, with enemies having disadvantage on attack rolls. Shield of faith further boosts this, as do a couple other nice spells such as warding bond, ect. The ring you get from mol for stealing the idol is a free +1 ac, and early in act 2 by last light inn you can find the cloak of protection for another +1.

[@deusvlad2.083]

Is there a time stamp for these items in the video?

[@Kjp99]

I know this video is for act 1, but im really curious. Is there a build that for the very first build with radiating orbs and reverberation that ends up going good in endgame?

[@sorenjensen3863]

The armor plus any mass radiant damage spell. Spirit guardians for example. Makes you nearly impossible to hit

[@freman007]

Not to overlook a pretty basic combination. The Jolty Vest, the Sparkle Hands, and the Speedy Lightfeet on a Githyanki (for medium armor proficieny) Open Hand Monk (Lae'zel) I chucked on Crusher's Ring to compensate for losing Monk movement, and the Sunwalker's Gift to compensate for Githyanki lack of Darkvision. Usual Tavern Brawler at level 4 and a Hill Giant Elixir and she wrecks face. Until you can go to the Mountain Pass your best gloves for stealing are the Gloves of Thievery. Once you get the Graceful Cloth it's the Gloves of Power.

[@jonathanhibberd9983]

I forget what they are, but there's an alternate set of boots and an alternate armor that I use for lightning builds. The boots give lightning charges when you dash, and the armor will do lightning damage to a creature that hits you. I put those, along with the rest of this build (except I took the bow instead of the staff for the quest reward), on Astarion. Dash as a bonus action and charge him up. Edit: Speedy Lightfeet (in the windmill) and Jolty Vest (Zhentiram vendor)

You are not going to a different act its basically just telling you that you have to resolve the goblin issue. This is the only thing that will be affected if you go there.

[@russman74]

@firespark81 actually I would argue that the creche is part of act 2 since it forwards the main story. if you go to the creche before you are done with the groove then the druids complete the ritual and close off the groove. just like if you go to act 3 from act 2 it closes off the locations behind you. Why would the developers go to the trouble to put up a warning screen and forwarding events like that if you were not moving into another act?

You just have to figure out the break points and usually not depend on items more class features or lineage traits.

[@gilaulet8735]

For that first build how could I fit blood of lath in

[@user-mr6hc9hy2t]

The Hunter's Dagger is mostly a filler item just for the sake of triggering more conditions to proc Boots of Stormy Clamour. Replace it with Blood of Lathander vs undead enemies to potentially give them disadvantage on attacks as well. Excellent synergy with the build.

[@greenmountainpokemon2112]

11:31 now do the 3HP stack say "3 charges = 9HP"?

[@D_Quinn]

Nope, just 3 total temporary HP. On its own it's completely useless, HOWEVER; it is unconfirmed by myself but some people have reported that if you have a bigger source of temporary hitpoints that is a fixed number like armor of agathys you can use this 3 temporary HP heal to refill ALL of the temporary health from those other sources in steps of 3 hp everytime you get a lightning charge. So theoretically magic missile could refill that entire temporary health pool.

[@davisbizarreadventure448]

@@D_Quinn if you currently have a temp hit point amount say 20 from dash with aspect of stallion then you give someone the 3hp bonus it overwrites it so you technically can lose hp from it. Still very good early game though basically a +10% hp boost at 30hp

[@zevitohrs]

does anyone knows a good replacement for the hunter daggers in the first build? I killed the seller early in my run and don't want to lose 15 hrs of gameplay for that

[@Cleptomancer]

poison works fine: disadvantage on saves 👍🏾

[@Bobberation]

Rupture specifically is only from that dagger and a certain type of arrow (it's not a DnD thing, but a callback to Larian's other games). That said, the important thing is just a status - any weapon can work with poison on it. Otherwise, I think Sussur dagger's Silence counts; if you're further into the game, Cold Snap (in Rivington) is probably worth a look.

[@nipsoffortune4780]

Silence dagger or you can apply poison to any weapon.

[@nerabon8138]

Could anyone brainstorm a party that is oriented around thunder damage? Like the third build is fascinating, paired with maybe with a tempest cleric and some thunder smites from a pally? Just for RP purposes, I thibk that's gonna be my next run

[@dotaschool2015]

1 - Frontliner: Paladin Thunder Smite / Wild Mage Barbarian / Eldritch Knight. 2 - Striker: Way of the Four Elements Monk / Arcane Trickster Rogue. 3 - Blaster: Tempest Sorcerer / Circle of the Land Druid / Evocation Wizard. 4 - Controller: Tempest Domain Cleric multiclassed with Blue or Bronze Dragonic Sorcerer and/or College of Lore Bard. The other classes can also be multiclassed for optimization albeit not necessary. Pick one of each category to form a full party and regardless of your pick - you can easily clear Honour Mode without much of a hassle. Of course making sure that at least 1 of your characters is Charismatic (Paladin/Sorcerer/Bard) and preferably having him as your main one so you can cover all the conversation checks & another character being dexterous (Monk, Rogue, Bard) so you can picklock and disarm everything in the game would be very beneficial to you - you can cover both with a single character if your main has Bard implemented in - but do keep in mind that Bards can't self-Inspire. I can help you with detailed builds for each one of these but obviously not in a short KZbin comment. xD Enjoy!

[@nerabon8138]

Thanks buddy!

[@keithwiechart7744]

I actually found that the lightning build is just as good if not better on a rogue, especially Astarion. My build of choice was thief rogue for the two bonus actions and moderately armored to be able to use shield and medium armor. You use speedy lightfeet boots which gives you 3 lightning charges if you dash, and with two bonus actions, you pretty much never have any reason not to. You use the Joltshooter, which Astarion has proficiency in being an elf. The Joltshooter gives you advantage on attacks against enemies wearing metal if you have lightning charges, making it incredibly easy to trigger sneak attack. You then use the jolty vest, which triggers dexterity saving throws against attackers while you have lightning charges, the lifebringer for temp hp if you have lightning charges, and the real sparky sparkswall for the lightning aura.

[@MeRDied]

Couldn't you multiclass into ranger to get the needed proficiencies instead of using a feat on moderately armored? Just a thought. You can also get the archery fighting style and a second attack this way.

[@keithwiechart7744]

@@MeRDied yeah, but dipping into Ranger means you don’t get the feat at level 12 anyways. One feat isn’t that much, and a double bonus action dash that guarantees lightning charges each round, plus the advantage on metal enemies synergizes well with Sneak attacks. Astarion was invaluable during the iron throne for the dash lighting charge plus lightning aura shield combo. Ranger may be a good choice too, I wouldn’t know, but I’ve found good success with this combo as it stands right now.

[@eboethrasher]

@@keithwiechart7744 yeah but the 5 level dip gets you the ability to do 1d8 bonus damage per round to a target at less than max health as hunter or bursty burst as gloomstalker, plus, that extra attack just gives you even more damage per round, for the cost of one feat. One feat is worth an extra attack every round, as well as those other bonuses you get with a fighting style, spells, hunters mark or ensnaring shot/melee, stuff like that.

[@BFishy]

I’m confused as to how you’re at the goblin camp with stuff from the crèche? I thought once you go to the crèche everything in the wilderness disappears? 🤔 because you get that pop up before you go there starting you’re progressing the story so you won’t be able to go back or something?

[@ZeeDC666]

Despite what it says you can travel back and forth freely during Act 1. There might be a quest or two that can progress forcibly by travelling to the Mountain Pass, but I can't think of any off hand.

[@pantheraleo2]

The fate of the grove is sealed once you enter the mountain pass or shadow lands, but you can still go back and fight/loot act one when you enter act two, entering act 3 you are locked out of 1 and 2 though.

[@sideswipe4796]

Bro does not want to tell where the graceful cloth is located

[@Bodehi_The_Archivist]

In the Rosymorn Mountain Pass, there is a woman that has been kicked out of the crèche because she attempted to steal an egg. If you trade with her or kill her, she will have the graceful cloth among other considerably powerful magic items 👍🏽

[@deidaraman90]

Then just steal the money back and the rest of her stuff using the Graceful cloth :D

[@crusaderesper]

I don't know if they patched it or if it's a bug, but I can not seem to equip the club of giant strength in any character's offhand regardless of class.

if it's not tagged as light weapon, you need a feat to do so, but I can't remember the name

[@digthathole5521]

Off topic, but 544. My game just got annihilated by the 544 bug. Anyone else get nailed by this, or find a workaround?

[@Djowl6]

I “lost” my first honor mode run to it 80 hours in, on act 3. The error kept coming up and in my frustration, I spammed saved which corrupted my file. The only fix I’ve found which has helped, so far (50 hours), has been creating a Larian account and syncing the game save files. I don’t know the logistics, but I’m assuming it doesn’t prevent the error from occurring nor the potential corruption, but it does create a back-up save in Larian’s cloud, thus making the save recoverable. If you’ve already done this and it’s still an issue, then I don’t have anything else I can provide to help. Nonetheless, I hope this helps!

[@digthathole5521]

@@Djowl6 I had over 200 hours on my first run. Halfway through act 3. Totally disappointed but strangely not mad. I was excited to restart, tried a custom character this time, last run was Astarion. Still in act 1 and everything is different. It's amazing. Making the same decisions, but new branches and quests keep popping up. 544 sucks, but this game is gold.
