Sarevok Vs Raphael

[@siraguswolf2604]

I'm always brought back to the comment pointing out that a round in dnd lasts 6 seconds, so in real time this would be like this absolute machine just swiftly picking off cambions one by one as he's being constantly blasted with tens of scorching rays each second and just shrugging them off, I imagine Raphael being like yo wtf

@@ammonbergevin5302 Immunity to crits only means you don't take the extra damage. A crit is a guaranteed hit no matter what

[@ammonbergevin5302]

@@stevenclover415 I've debunked this myself before. Immunity to crits means the auto hit effect is nullified. Back when Hold Person made any attack an auto Crit, not any hit (aka ignored AC because the critical range was 1-20) using any piece that granted critical immunity would nullify the auto hit. After the patch that made it so you need to actually hit them for hold person to Crit I tested it again myself, and contrary to how it works in D&D5e, Crit immunity does in fact mean that if you roll a 20 and still don't beat AC, you don't hit Part of why I tested this so much was because I knew what a menace hold person was and when I did my solo run I didn't want a single 2nd level spell to be a reset later on in the run

[@ammonbergevin5302]

@@stevenclover415 crits auto hit in normal D&D, but sadly BG3 is not D&D. If it was then a natural 20 wouldn't auto succeed on any checks (look close in the rules, nothing says that a natural 20 forces a skill check success), you wouldn't jump as a bonus action, opportunity attacks won't use your offhand weapon, ECT.

@@nevrast-1 i was not able to kill him first turn because of high AC, and then his ghosts used some spells on him so i decided to kill them first. Managed to CC him with dominate person so it was still a pretty easy fight, but took a lot longer than Raphael

[@indeedidosir]

@@HikariAnnoxisi approached both fights the same way (extended globe of invulnerability and hasted fighter & paladin), and while neither of them was particularly hard on balanced difficulty, i found sarevok went down much faster. He has less health, weaker minions, and no regen mechanic that forces you to divert your attention from him. I was able to down him in one turn with 6 melee attacks and 3 or 4 rays from the curriculum of strategy spell. Raphael has nearly double the hp, plus I had to waste the curriculum spell (probably the best pure damage spell in the game) on his pillars, which thankfully managed to get three of them with just the one spell slot. After that, the fight is fairly easy, but it takes a lot longer than Sarevok to be sure.

[@LaztheLax]

​@@indeedidosirI mean...being invulnerable for 3 + turns does trivialize a lot of difficulty in any fight..but to each their own I guess.

Globe is just the most brain dead, especially if you get Gortash boots to not be forcefully moved out of your position.

[@Xapek-tw9xg]

For me Raphael is probably harder than any boss in game, and only ansur can be on par with him. Sarevok was like pummel bag for my storm sorcerer and mage with chain lightning. But Raphael could just one shot all of my mages, and only thing that saved me was Hope's divine intervention, and water mirmidon healing vapor that barely kept me alive during Raphael fight.

[@Vinteroffer]

The first time I fought Raphael I was almost out of all my resources with less than half my party's total spell slots and no action surges left. I still got down to where is was only Raphael left, I could hardly hit him for most of the fight and all that was left standing was Hope and Tav. Then I realized how strong Divine Intervention was and cleaned up the fight pretty easy, but damn I was sweating and even failed a couple times because I didn't realize I could just poof and have everything.

Because when he got resurrected in ToB, he lost all of his essence. In the first game, he was even more powerful with immunity to cold, acid, fire, magic, and electricity damage. This isn’t mentioning that he was permanently hasted, had exceptional strength at 18/00, and had grandmaster in two-handed swords allowing him to hit like five times a round or something.

[@zer0stars]

Gorion's Ward was also really powerful. Considering he was given the Slayer Form, he honestly was kind of the favorite and was favored to be the one to revive Bhaal.

[@MadisonRose0]

@@zer0stars GW gets complete immunity to normal and +1 weapons, has innate powers from being a Bhaalspawn such as curing minor wounds, drawing upon holy might, and curing poison. Also they can get to like level 40 in ToB, easily making them one of, if not the, most powerful mortals to ever walk the land.

HE DOES NOT DO THAT MUCH DAMAGE MY GUYS WERE EATING HITS FROM HIM ALL DAY AND TAKING LIKE 13 DAMAGE?? Also tactician abilities too maybe cause i did the entire raphel fight over like 30 turns and he never transformed like that?

[@4m4n40]

Maybe karmic dice was on

[@joshuakim5240]

@@4m4n40 No, rolls are just extremely rigged for enemies with a lot of hit chances being blatant lies. Even without karmic dice, crit miss chains are a regular occurrence for the player and players regularly have 2-3 entire turns of party-wide miss chains vs anything with a 70% hit chance due to this rigging. You'll notice that, even with achieving 95% hit chance on enemies or 99% with stacked advantage, you'll still regularly crit miss at a rate of at least 30% because the rolls are straight up that extremely rigged against you behind the scenes (it's almost impossible to consistently hit anything 4 times in a row for this reason, even with 99% hit chance). 20-23 AC is also, at best, only a 50% chance for an enemy to miss you while in contrast that's almost unhittable when enemies have that unless players are using tons of accuracy boosters with the sweatiest build imaginable, or guaranteed hit spells/massive Arcane Acuity stacks. In contrast, enemies have absolutely cracked accuracy to the point where, on Tactician, AC below 20 is effectively 0 and they crit extremely often. The thing is, however, because itemization for the player is so cracked these bouts of blatantly obvious rigging for enemies only really matter during mid Act 1 as the moment you start finally cobbling together a build, these rigged rolls become necessary for enemies to stand any semblance of a chance against you even on Tactician. If enemies didn't have rigged rolls, Tactician and HM would be complete cakewalks because lacking rigged hit chances and hidden AC pierce would make players practically invulnerable by Act 2. Even in this video, you can see that Sarevok's 28 AC which is basically unhittable for players outside of magic missile and hyper stacked Arcane Acuity is regularly being bypassed with chain crits off enemies who have no crit chance boosting passive effects at all.
