Original Sin 2 - So You Want To Be A Huntsman (Aka Ifan ben-Mezd)

[@abraveteddybear7390]

No clue if you're still reading comments but your content was a winner and is much needed, pls come back bb!

[@thecanadiantraveler2505]

I recently found your youtube channel and have been binge watching all your videos, then I realized that your last video was 9 months ago 😭 dude! You gotta come back and make your freaking good content!

[@grandengineernathan]

For those who are a bit late to the party, the source skill with 15 arrows is awesome at point blank range

[@gpkai]

Your rant was absolutely fantastic, it helped a lot in understanding how Warfare interacts with your attributes.

[@MrBean8100]

WHERE'D YOU GO QUACKSTACK??

[@LokiTheAnsuz]

Wait, you recommend an elf and THEN change his name to Ifan ben-Mezd? xD

[@moileung]

yeah such bullshit right. i noticed that too.

[@pencilbender]

Elfan Ben-Mezd

[@MegaHellstrike]

Started a 2 character playthrough recently and decked my elf out exactly as you did in this guide, flesh sacrifice truly is the gift that keeps on giving my enemies a hard time.

[@Quackstack]

Christmas-lite is almost here! To skip the 3 minute long rant about critical strike chance (I swear I didn’t mean to make it that long): 7:53 Also: www.strawpoll.me/14400567 I’ll see you in the next one.

[@zyrkugilgamesh]

So you like Edups too...

[@EquiliMario]

Voted Shut Up because I very very very rarely watch twitch. BUT a lot of youtubers decide to go on twitch and uploads the VODs to youtube. Either in full length or cut in parts (parts better i.m.o as the full stream can be viewed on twitch if one likes to bench it for 3 hours)

[@0NBalfa0]

I liked the rant part. Detailed and you got your point across to the one paying attention at that part (at least I hope so :s).

[@geemaan1]

haha very funy guy

[@peoji]

rip this channel

[@ZtriDer]

WITS: Just wanted to add a few things here. It is good and nice to have pure damage output, but there is a few things that you have to take into the calculation. The opertunity to CC before they are able to attack. a 4v4 can turn into a 4v3 and change the fight totally.

[@evrimenustun9548]

Yea, that "Everyone gets a turn anyways" argument makes zero sense, especially on Tactician. Most reliable Honour Builds have high Wits for a reason. Why would you wanna risk getting CC'd when you can guarantee CC'ing the enemy by starting first.

[@jamied4106]

For those who don't know, Ifan is a Welsh name and the f in Ifan is pronounced as a v. E-van

[@anjette100]

No more videos :( feelsbadman

[@BasHeRz666]

I love how you got into the mechanics of the game and what to and not to do to min/max. Alot of builds ive seen dont go into the small min/max details like you did. GJ

[@lakeside1168]

This way to talk about divinity is gold thank you. Great advice and funny. Your effort with the warfare vs finesse was lit. Thats dedication man

[@Elidan1012]

Arrow Storm is good Arrow Spray can be good, if used as a shotgun skill on large enemies (hit with 80%+ of the arrows on the same target) Far Sight is a joke.

[@asdergold1]

If you can aim that fucking inconsistent Arrow Spray, I swear to god that shitty hit detection is out to get me.

[@Ray_tch]

Here i am, re-watching every video this fella made, 7 times a week. Please return!

[@Magmakojote]

not even a minute in the video and already more puns, than I need for a week :D

[@argr4sh]

ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY PUNS!!

[@degreeskelvin3025]

Waiting with immense anticipation for your BG3 class guides

[@j_g_t6091]

Man... I just got into Dos2 and these guides are hilarious. Wish I was here when you were mate. Hope all is well.

[@Ozhar1]

In my experience, combining stench with glass Cannon makes this build really good in a full party.

[@SolaireOAstora]

When you find a great KZbinr and see their last upload was a year ago *ohno*

[@mezigone9177]

Idk if you come back and look at these comments but this is one of the best guides ive seen on a video. Comedy and straight facts

[@C_opter]

thank u for all your divinity videos!! they’re rlly nice to watch as i play thru the game for the first time :>

[@Zyere100]

Really miss you dude, you made some phenomenal content that was witty and hilarious. Hopefully you can find time to come and make us laugh again!

[@percinatto]

hey quackstack, hope you still come back one day. we miss you

[@LucasLjung]

I'm in desperate need of your comeback... you drop these great videos, tbh If the case is that you play other games these days I would like to see that. Just give me anything with puns senpai!!

[@JMotiveMU]

WHERE YOU AT BRO???

[@cyrosphere0154]

Chapter11 yeah, it looks like he's a funny KZbinr and the best Divinity original sin 2 build guide maker.. There's so much he could've done

[@Tyiriel]

There's also the "Hehehe imma sneak attack u, kill 1, then go to stealth, then kill 1 more, then gtfo, then return and do the same until ur all dead" build

[@itsJRN]

Dunno why but i love all of this channel content The humor and the quality of editing is just really good. Hope you come back from the dead bro

[@At0mHeart]

The arrow recovery bit was gold, did not expect that at all subbed immediately.

[@stavik96]

10:57 I really enjoyed my executioner huntsman on my first playthrough, was just so satisfying to finish off enemy after enemy from high up while dealing massive crit dmg.

[@MrBean8100]

Love your content, mate. You're probably the most naturally humorous person I've seen on YT so far.

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

Honeydew is delicious. If you buy one and cut it up yourself, it's great.

[@Lullegullebulle]

Waow just started the game and lookedfor builds found your vids, stoped playing the game to watch your videos, you got to make a comeback whit thouse dank puns.

[@Sonic_Ancap]

Please correct this if I'm taken by mistake, but the critical multiplier is applied to ALL final damage, not just to the bonus damage.

[@NobodyDungeons]

I actually use the lizards fire breath as a zoning tool for when I don’t want enemies to get close to me because enemies tend to avoid walking on fire.

[@Catson91]

0:48 good you put a pause after that, otherwise I'd had to pause myself

[@arzanpatel]

Hey can you please do an updated guide list for every build . I know it's been 5 years but worth the shot . Ty

[@omeganism]

You could really cheese the game with summoning, sneak and assassinate. Not time prefficient but it's an option. Basically have your ranger or whoever you want to cheese with, make their move but leave over at least 1 AP so you can run. Have a character with summon (who is not in the fight), summon a creature outside of the fight and make the creature attack someone to join in on the fight. Now go back to your 1 AP ranger and make them run (there's a talent that allows you to run at anypoint in the fight). Come back, sneak, assassinate, finish the summons move, attack some more with your ranger but leave over 1 AP and repeat the cycle.

[@voldset9865]

"I'll see you in the next one" :,(

[@bcpond]

I'm not a huge fan of summoner on ranger because the few attacks they get scale with intelligence and ranger tree doesn't have a unique summon. What I do instead is stack scrolls and arrows on my ranger and use them as an unreachable nuker

[@SeventhheavenDK]

Boring

[@bcpond]

@@SeventhheavenDK BIG Damage Isn't boring 😎

[@alfair324]

I'm just now playing this game with a friend of mine & we are running a lone wolf playthrough. I must say Apotheosis veil > Time Warp > Daggers drawn > Skin Graft > [ Crazy ability ] is amazing.

[@braydenfriesen6654]

Hell yeah. Just got this game and am Gunna run this build on tactican mode!

[@pillipinoso1270]

I hope we 'll see you again when the divinity 3 hype beginns, can't wait for your Comeback!

[@RansomMemoryAccess]

Baldur's Gate 3 first I think ;)

[@TheShubLub]

Thanks for the video. Whats keeping you from making more? I would be interested in BG3 guides

[@arcburn6340]

Dude! Where are you? We miss you!

[@dr.strange1300]

Can't wait for you to return man. Content is on point! Hope everything is ok on your end.

[@thanhdohuu9473]

wits is important for finding secrets as well. You can drink potions for a few more points when needed but you kinda have to at least have some points in it.

[@DriftingOne1]

Don't give up on us dad. You're the chosen one.

[@kristianhirsl8647]

Papa, please come back...

[@yan-amar]

Can someone explain to me the stuff at 2:51 please ?

[@Wordgoblin]

I came for the dwarf dance, but I stayed for the rest of the video... Wait.

[@francis563]

367k views come back lol its the commentary that makes it

[@DarkErrant]

Came for the builds, but stayed for the puns and the math.

[@enejsrok8635]

what is the point of weapons: single hended, bows? etc is it better to put your points into skills?

[@azib958]

Can you do a group build? Love all your guilds, but would love to hear how you would compose your group.

[@davidschwab7556]

Addendum to your elf ranger song: forget about your worries and your *strafe*

[@romdom9406]

Pls do more! Your humor, content and quality editing man! Waiting for more

[@Cat-sampo]

Yes, I see your math on wits vs finesse for damage, but let me raise you this: Bold of you to assume everyone gets a turn. lone wolf talent, elf. Be the buff boyo(fortify/frost armor/haste/evasion/regen/first aid/LoTE/etc)on the charisma person talking to a potential(more than likely) combat encounter. Preparing the battlefield pre-emptively, summoning your dude, completely buffing him with whatever element you prefer (#bloods), then starting combat using the talker. Now your archer goes *first* a majority of the time (first opponent who outsped me was alice, and ended the game with 67 initiative due to maxed wits and armor buffs, which I dont remember anything outspeeding me at that point) allowing them to set themselves up, flesh sacrifice, bloody arrows, adrenaline, maybe a ballistic shot due to how OP it is, skin graft, adrenaline, flesh sacrifice. Haste yourself, and that combined with flesh sacrifice will allow you to actually have ap the next turn. Do what you want, and finish the turn with a chameleon cloak. Pair this with a crit chance bow/crossbow, and your dps is amazing, even at 50% crit chance. Having used your entire first turn to probably kill 1-2 enemies, with which I love Execution over The Pawn for that 1 extra shot, if not at least knocking them down with knockdown arrows. THEN YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR INCARNATE FULLY BUFFED TO ALSO DO KNOCKDOWNS. Really combines well with my Dagger/Shield tank that suffers in damage (the backstab crits help loads) but is great in CC. This was how I got my way through Tactical Honour mode. Pretty versatile, can be used for any situation, really, even the random fights you usually outspeed the enemies allowing you to create some protectionary countermeasures. Stats were something like 14(2)str, 40(20)fin, 10(0)con, 20(5)int, 40(20)mem, 40(20)wits without gear and with gear, and certain choices raising finesse and wits well into the 50's and 60's. Melee build also had its fair share of buffs etc, but she was mainly the support with at least 1(=2LW) point in every skill, focusing on summoning (maxed with armor bonuses on top), ranged, scoundrel, and warfare in that order while he worked on CC until she could start picking off the enemies one at a time. Edit: I should note that this build was VERY glass cannon. You needed to play VERY carefully. Constitution was a dump stat for it, and I chose to give up con for wits, as well as flesh sacrifice taking more and more con as you level. If you do not CC properly, or evade trouble properly, *you will die*.

[@justinspencer9653]

Bro you had me laughing so hard. Good shit

[@ragnorucca6637]

Come back quackstack, youve got a gift for this! :D naturally funny is hard to come by these days

[@CptZhu]

Why did you stop making videos? Your content is amazing

[@davidbecks81]

Please come back quackstack I need you

[@Azer220]

Are you gonna do any videos on Baldurs Gate 3?

[@shadow_psych7069]

Your videos are SO good! Please make more! :D

[@RPGmodsFan]

Great D-OS2 vids. How do you record your Gameplay for D-OS2? By chance, do you use OBS?

[@zacheonodom7364]

Question, Why would you put more points in Warfare rather than Range?

[@WishIWasClever]

9:36 was this supposed to be funny...???

[@michaelmcmahon5623]

That "joke" = inadvisable

[@thereddevils091]

I just found these and they are amazing

[@realNaniByte]

this is what my life needed you are like a sunburned albino but for divinty gr8 m8 thank you

[@maxxrr7389]

1% crit chance does not actually mean you get 1 proc every 100 or you'll proc it in 100 attacks maximum. 1% crit chance mean in every attack there is a 1 in a 100 chance that you proc the crit. It's like every time you attack you dice a roll with 100 sides with only 1 side leading to your reward.

[@li6706]

So… what ratio should i have finesse to warfare on a ranger???

[@bentinbama1]

The sarcastic humor is on point in this vid perfect

[@christianwalker4522]

the thing about criting is its actually better to get more damage on that one hit if it means you get the kill that hit. Think in pokemon flamethrower vs fire blast

[@Galebreth]

I'm rewatching your content. Oi, mate. Make more vids. Awesome content.

[@extremefiley]

Loving it, buuuuuut when can we have the end game build guides? :)

[@Quackstack]

+Liam Riley end game is super easy though, I wouldn't really know where to start. Just abuse aoe skills!

[@XendalUmbra]

Literally subscribed within the first one minute. God damn youre hilarious.

[@LupinDaWolf]

Your commentary is awesome props for the spaceballs reference

[@Jbpennes]

Except you forgot that you can easily get 100% crit in this game with the ranger. And thus, there won't any comparison with Finesse vs Wit... When you crit 100% of the time your dmg output is MUCH more important than if you had more points into finesse but did not crit 100%. I'd strongly recommend to nearly max WIT.

[@santeripaananen9717]

You are missing that finesse also increases your crit damage. Lets say for example that your base damage is 10. At this point 11 points in finesse would increase your damage by 55% and you would hit 15,5 every time. At the same time increasing your wit by 100 (almost ten times more points) would help you crit every time, but as the crit modifier is 150% (assuming no points in scoundrel)you would do only 15 damage per crit. So only 11 finesse would be better than 100 wits.

[@Jbpennes]

If you're comparing things with only a single shot, of course it's better to get more Finesse. But if you're comparing on the reality of the game, let's say 5 arrows total or 10, make the calculation of 10x 100% crit shots minus 10 pts (for example) in Finesse, compared to 5 crit shots + 5 normal shots with +10 in Finesse, and you'll see ;) And if you're making this calculation with the entire shots you'll be doing in the game, it's even more obvious.

[@santeripaananen9717]

The difference between 100% crit chance and 50% would be 50 pts in finesse or wits, not 10. So lets calculate what your finesse would need start at in order to make those damage numbers equal. (X = % modifier with the start finesse) 10 Crit shots = 5 Normal shots + 5 Crit shots 10 * X * 150% = 5 * (X+250%) + 5 * (X+250%) * 150% 15 * X = 5 * X + 5 * 250% + 5 * X * 150% + 5 * 250% * 150% 15X = 5X + 1250% + 7,5X + 1875% 15X = 12,5X + 3125% 2,5X = 3125% X = 1250% To get a finesse damage modifier of 1250%, one would need to have finesse of 260. The simple fact is that the crit % from wits is way too minimal to make a difference. If the attributes would grow large enough, it would be eventually better to take some wits over finesse, but as the game works now, that is not the situation.

[@Jbpennes]

Still not my point but anyway :) In this game you can go to 100% crit anyway without maxing WITS and maxing FIN at the same time so who cares :D

[@res4421]

So.... No arrow spray in the second game?

[@christianillic]

Great videos.Watched all of them,just hope you will come back

[@sinciti9354]

how does initiative not matter?...... being the one to strike first means if they are low you can finish them off before their turn comes up negating the dmg you would have taken from said turn..... not to mention gives you first opportunity to CC

[@Yuchigo3]

but the game forces you to always alternate between you and the enemy, so even if multiple of your party members have higher initivative than all the enemies only one of them gets to go before an enemy. having one member with high initiative is useful though because he will always be first

[@sinciti9354]

yeah, hadnt noticed that detail yet when i made the comment. still a bit overboard to suggest its useless though. its just only 1 char should have it high then the others you should just put 1-3 points in to hard determine your turn order

[@plucascreams9517]

Loved the elf jokes! Thanks for this! Just started playing DOS2 and I turned Sebille into a Ranger... No regrets so far!

[@BidiguiloChefao]

Ifan is my ranger on my monk build

[@plucascreams9517]

I am interested in his story as well! But I'll probably save his quests for my subsequent playthroughs...

[@simonsis1321]

Tell me, how are you planning on fighting Dallis or killing Slane without the initiative? Additionally, ranger has a lot of powerful single target attacks, you can just go in, kill someone in the first turn and then run/turn dead. Also you can't use evasion/invisibility as effective withiut initiative, as delaying your turn will no longer help you as much. Ofc. Finesse will maje you deal more damage, but as you said, it has a cap and everything left afterwards is crit. Stench is not working btw.

[@Daniel-dr9yw]

Just startet playing the game . what happemd to this channel ?

[@spacecat7715]

I'm excited to get home, roll an elf ranger or play Sebille, and try this out. I've been playing as the Red Prince as a wizard. My party is wizard, enchanter, knight, rogue. And the rogue has been doing the most damage I think.

[@yulwu6758]

So i have sebile and lorhse in my game, and i cant decide which one i want as a ranger and which one i want as blood mage. I feel like blood sacrifice would be more useful to blood mage than to ranger.

[@Berry_Goosey]

I went with Ifan as a ranger during my first playthrough, and it was awful. However, once I took your advice and spec'd him in summoning, I started having a lot of fun! Summon-Da-Rangement build ftw!

[@coaiemandushman1079]

Can you come back please?

[@LiquidSnake1988]

any clear and written guide? im pissed for my character... I cant even remember what did I chose for them since you cant see in inventory profile! only their skills and im a newcomer!

[@Unei1995]

yo! your thoughts about grenadier-ish characters using ambidextrous?

[@Quackstack]

Not that great. Grenades are rare, most need the enemy to have no armor/magic armor, and have huge aoes. Enemies love to surround your characters so most likely lots of friendly fire as well. You're better off selling them imo or keeping a few in case you're in a pinch.

[@Unei1995]

Quackstack sad :( loved them 'nades in the first divinity :D

[@EtherealFissure]

What if im co-op-ing with a buddy and thus have no need for the summons? What changes would anyone reccomend?

[@austincraft9525]

Joel Santiago scoundrel especially with elf

[@davidiainmcmahon]

Was a good video up to 09:33. Not cool guy.

[@helge5982]

realy would love to see more of your vids...*hard feelings* just coming back to dos2 and would love to see if you can give some advise for later stuff thats hidden or not obviously achievable (e.g. not being mentioned in achivements)

[@ChaosRevealsOrder]

Dude ur so funny, subscribed! :D

[@anthonykufta2197]

Ifans in my party what do I make him I have elf as summoning and Ranger lizard as a wizard Dwarf as my deathknight

[@austincraft9525]

Anthony Kufta cleric maybe

[@DukePegasus]

You know its a materpiece of a video when u watched it so many times that u know the script by heart and still u have to laugh at the jokes

[@AMaleAlicorn]

I don't know if you've considered doing videos on mods, but there is deffinantly a lot to work with and some more puns to be made.
