[@cedriclacomblez9827]

@@alessandrogarofalo9951 While it will be cool for the game to be remastered, I am a little reluctant because of...Broodmother. I don't think I need to explain further.

[@alessandrogarofalo9951]

@@cedriclacomblez9827 Knowing modern videogame industry they would censure it as fuck. Probably even remove it in a remake since the lore behind a broodmother is quite heavy.

[@ArnaudJ]

Note: "Arrows of Many Targets" seems to appear in the Crèche shop only after a character has reached L6. I tried to reroll quite some times before that but they didn't show up. I hope it helps

[@hywolfgaming8932]

do i need to stock up before i aggro them?

[@ArnaudJ]

​​​@@hywolfgaming8932 i think the only way to really close up this shop is to kill one of them OR be declared a Githyanki enemy by Vlaakith. If they are "temporarily hostile", doing other things elsewhere may make them calm down and allow you to trade again. (But not sure if you need to Long Rest to trigger it or so, look for ways to remove "temporarily hostile" on the Internet 😛). There are other shops that can sell you these arrows but I haven't found one in act I (or maybe time was not on my side). You can try the Zeltarim shopper inside Goblin camp near Gut if you haven't made her go away (but if you're L6+ there's a chance you've already done some cleaning here so...) Next spot I found is in Act II. Shop at the entrance of Last light Inn has some, sometimes Damon has too, the little Tiefling inside the Inn and the Ironhand gnome can have too. So reroll one guy to L1, do your shopping at those 4 spots in Last Light, gain a level, do your shopping and cycle this. It is costly so unless you steal your money back or use a bug with Pact Weapon, your money can be the limiting factor 😅.

What a pleasure to see all the content you grant us ! Thank you very much Mister Potato 🥔

Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@Nefhith1337]

On 6:20: you should only use sharpshooter if you already have a high % to hit. On average (without considering advantage/disadvantage) it takes away 25% to hit, so getting that ASI (and then the +1 of dex) means all your attacks have in total +2 to hit and damage (also initiative, AC if you use light armor -anything above 14 is wasted on medium besides a few exceptions- and saves). With archery, that gives you a total of +4 (or 20%), and considering by then you'll have higher proficiency and magic items/spells it's a smarter option to get it then (or just respec yourself when you are level 5 or 9 (so you have +3 or +4 to proficiency)

[@afau1non]

30% hitchance, crits only... yeh right

[@istipisti55]

I gave you instant like for the vid in the first 30 sec because of DragonAge music! :) I've felt the power and usefulness of your build even without knowing anything about it!

[@CheeseVRC]

such a creative build, it always amazes me the amount of creativity your builds have.

[@Noble6233]

So basically just play dragon age. Got it.👍😎

[@hywolfgaming8932]

i really despise that this game has no NG+ id like to be doing fun stuff like this all game long instead of just at the end.

[@Bruno-lr9lm]

did practically the same thing with sword bard, i love flourishes too much to skip bard lol. I just don't have smite and I use arcane acuity gear to proc the prone effect nearly 100% of the time due to the high DC it gives. Kinda crazy how you can achieve builds that look the same but with different combinations.

[@TheSpudKing]

Oh yeah, it was hard choice between swordbard and paladin, booth works greatly

[@Bruno-lr9lm]

@@TheSpudKing yeah big difference with bard is, you gotta pick elf as a race or go for the longbow proficiency bracers asap until you can respect with something like fighter or whatever that has it inherently to ditch them afterwards

[@Bruno-lr9lm]

@@TheSpudKingquick question for you, are you experiencing the same (I assume bug) with the arrows of many targets not bouncing when shooting it from stealth/initiating combat with it? It works fine while in combat but if you take your first shot to start combat when enemies are not yet hostile it doesn’t do what it’s suppose to do, was wondering if it was just me aka user error or intended.

[@daveyfunk]

kinda what I'm building my swords bard into, but my build changes early/mid game - late game. early/mid game i go 6 bard/2 fighter to abuse helmet of arcane acuity and so - attack - action surge - CC enemies. After getting band of mystic scoundrel I go 9 bard (hold monster)/3 paladin (vow of enmity)

[@mikaelgaspar4222]

This video is insanely didatic, not only is easy copying the build with those steps, but, I learnt a lot about character building and thinking of different options. Slay!

[@kittydaddy2023]

I don't know why I copy your builds when you say they are completely broken. I usually detune them after one combat because I feel bad for the enemies.

[@TheSpudKing]

Yeah 😂 i even don't play them alot, made ny first honour mode playthrough with OP builds, and it was cake-walk, haven't played more than 2 turns xD

[@sergeiviskov7208]

Reverberation inflicts thunder damage on 5 stack, and continues to stack on frozen. So it neglects frozen condition with super low thunder damage. It ruins idea of frozen control archer) reverberation can't be paired with frozen.

18:47 How can you get 24 dex? My count is: 17 Initial + 1 Hag + 2 Ability Improv + 2 Mirror = 22. Where does the other 2 come from? There's only 2 feats so 1 is Ability Improv and the other is Sharpshooter. Am I missing something?

[@Typhon18038]

Tried the arrow of many targets with sharpshooter today on honour mode and the sharpshooter didnt carry over to the extra targets. Also, what is the progression once you hit act 3?

[@tic_tacticalgaming]

I wonder how viable this build is if Patch 7 fixes the bugged Vow of Enmity on self trick that's being used for 10 free turns of Advantage? Probably no point in going Paladin in that case.

[@TheSpudKing]

Will be a bit less powerful, but still fine. Waiting for it too 😉

[@hieuluu6613]

No magic archer. Well I would like to see explaination for the baloony "Stealth archer" ive been seeing flying around youtube for a while now. As far as I am concerned, that shjt is broken all the way from Skyrim to here

[@TheSpudKing]

Its self casted "pass without trace" + "greater invisibility" from party memeber, and you'll be able to attack around 5-10 times before breaking invisibility:) i will drop spore-ranger in 1 day, that uses this mechanic and other shady stuff :)

[@rey4rtro]

Bow paladin or how to mix unmixables. Interesting.

[@DeanHenderson]

Sorry mate but I've given this a go and it's rubbish - one channel oath charge per short rest no matter your Paladin level - so the whole idea is to use Vow of Emnity to make your shots hit, but you only get one vow per short rest. I assumed you'd get more oath charges as you levelled up but you don't so I do not see how this works as a viable strategy.

how did you have wavemothers armor look at level 2

I have the same question. Maybe a mod?

[@kahwigulum]

@@BgHatcher ive since learned that you can edit memory addresses to give yourself stuff or he just respeced a level 12 character to show the leveling process this game is fucking stupid

[@BgHatcher]

@@kahwigulum I learned that you can use the Transmog Enhanced mod to change the look of armor to look like a different piece of armor. You can see at one point he is about to use a weird dye in the mighty cloth. You can also get a mod that has a similar looking clothing item. But I cannot get it to work

[@sylaann9206]

What's the potion you combine with armor at 4 minutes ? even in 0.25 speed I can't see because you don't what it is.

[@TheSpudKing]

Thats dye, to colour it ;)

[@Henbot]

Should show how you fought Ketheric and Myrkel tbh. Not convinced this build works in that fight

[@TheSpudKing]

You still doing half of DMG physical, and if needed, just make them wet :)

[@Avdimax]

I wonder whether 2 level Spores Druid 1 level War Cleric with Dual Hand Crossbows out damages 2 Level Paladin alternative in early game or not hmmm

[@TheSpudKing]

You don't need warcleric for dual weild :) better figter + two weapons fighting style.. it will depend on rounds. Paladin is more stable (don't need to keep additional hp to do dmg), but will loose DMG from limited spellslots in round 3

[@annslow41]

Dang, that is a wild build. Looks like fun!

[@manuelpacciardi2473]

Would it work if I went Astarion origin with it?

[@guillet6944]

what is the bow that you have when you wake up in the shore of the river in act 1? or is it just a skin

[@TheSpudKing]

It should be jolt shooter, or second bow from this video

[@acrab6527]

Has anyone ever done the burning set? Or since half of it is in act 3, is it just too late? Only ever seen anyone wear the hat

[@TheSpudKing]

For mages, act 2 Ox Hat is just too op if you going fire. But im playing with some burning combos right now, will start "fire series" after few more ice guys

[@CheeseVRC]

Something i would suggest, for the last level, you can also pick rogue to get sneak attacks since most of your shots will be with advantage

Wow this is really creative and cool! I wish the arrow types were a part of ranger or part of the bow…. I’d play this if I didn’t have to buy arrows and be bummed when I use them. Or have arrows reset on long rest or something.ive always felt that way, that’s why I never use bows in Dark souls/Elden Ring

[@TheSpudKing]

Lol, 🤣 same ! 😂😂😂 I actually played my first as gloomstalker assasin, and never used arrows, because i dont like "consumable ammo"

[@Boziina]

Just get a level 1 hireling and buy arrows then level up - rinse and repeat. I’ve done this so much I had 100 arrows of many targets lol

[@Vioblight]

@@Boziina oh that doesn’t sound to bad in a solo playthrough. I’ll try it. Might be a little annoying in a group setting but if it’s only done once or twice in bulk it’s probably chill.

[@MagpieMcGraw]

I love an Eldritch Knight snow archer. It's very similar to the paladin version in terms of items, but I like to use Harold as my weapon. And I get 20 int, so diadem of arcane synergy is a good option. This build helped me win my first honor run.

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

My own archer was ranger/rogue and had archery playstyle. I picked up Titanstring Bow in the Zhentarim lair beneath Waukeen's rest and smashed the chair in the tower in the Underdark, so I could get a high strength.
