3 Thief / 9 Fighter is probably the best martial combat utility build in the game. Aside from the obvious boosts in high dex dual-wield fighting style, he effectively gets four attacks in one turn because of extra attack and off-hand bonus attacks. But the biggest effect is that Sneak Attack will AUTO-STACK on any Advantaged attack, which includes Battle Manuevers. So with a single Sneak->Maneuever, you get bonus damage from the manuever, from Sneak Attack, advantage to land, an extra status, snd STILL another two attacks, or a dash/sneak/disengage/misty step. Once you recieve the gloves that give enemies disadvantage to save against Manuevers, and the Martial Adept feat for more dice, you can harass bosses to death extremely easily because almost no boss is immune to prone, frighten, AND disarm, all of which can be applied for huge damage half the room away. Astarion hard carried a lot of risky fights in Act 3 because he can disarm half the room in a single turn and then STILL prone the boss. During the first phase of Raphaels fight when you have to kill 6 Cambions, he and Throwzerker Karlach basucally solo'd their sides of the room.

How Wizard spells work in tabletop had to have the text updated from the v1 rulebook to be a bit clearer, because originally the text was something along the lines of "you can scribe any spell of a level that you could prepare", and the rule spot that stated what spells you could prepare was "a spell of any level for which you have spell slots" The clarifying text makes it pretty clear that's not how it was intended to work, but we definitely let it fly in tabletop for the first few runs, sorta like how they eventually tried to write out the Sorcerer/Warlock point-banking silliness.

[@feketeee]

About the druid-monk multiclass. Wildshapes usually have higher base AC than humanoinds and they only benefit from monk's unarmored defense, if the wildshape's base AC is lower than 10 +wisdom mod (the same as using mage armor). An owlbear for example have 14 base AC so they need at least 20 wisdom to gain 1 AC. Still not bad, but not a huge impact either. On the other hand cats, badgers and other lower level wildshapes can benefit way more from unarmored defense. I don't know if it was changed lately but I don't think so.

*Best Starterclass for Multicassing in General is Fighter:* - CON Saving Throws You will often be able to succeed in a Concentration Saving Throw. - Every Weapon and Armor Prof. You can use every Item in game making the ultimate free choice of going for one theme no matter the armor- or weapontype. - A Fighting Style Archer, Great Weapon, Defense, Duell or 2-Weapon Fighting Style help to instantly decide what your Charakter will use in your playthro. Even Casters benefit from +1AC. At Level 12 a second level in Fighter is also one of the best ways to finish your build, because what ever you do, whatever your build has become, on level 12 you get an action search to do your shit again.

[@maximillianjayphoenix]

Super surprised you didn’t explain some subclasses don’t really rely on their modifier for their features like paladins meaning you can make a powerful 2/5 level dip for certain classes that are full casters and get all/ almost all spell slot progression meaning Spores Druid with Paladin is extremely viable and deserves room on the tier list. I feel like warlock levels are hard for me to take because of the loss of utility and spell slot progression knocking a lot of those multi classes down a few pegs and really relying on getting free cantrips like Eldritch blast and some invocations. Glad you spoke on just how versatile that cleric is for many many builds

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

1 level monk dip for a paladin is a fantastic rp idea, and is very solid. You get a nice baby offhand kick, but more importantly, you can dump strength for dex and still use great weapon master to deal great damage with quarterstaves or the orphic hammer or nyrulna or a spear of night in the late game. This solves paladin’s initiative issues and can even solve their entire MADness combined with the gloves of dexterity. Its a one level dip that can accomplish something very similar to a warlock dip, and still lets you grab enough sorc or bard levels for big smites and/or flourishes. The one level monk dip for monk weapons alone in bg3 is insanely strong for any melee class because dexterity is such a wildly strong stat.

[@destroyerinazuma96]

Does this mean that with a level of Storm Sorc you get a Flying Smiteghetti Monster?

I think Wizard / Warlock should go up a tier or two EXCLUSIVELY because the interaction between Armor of Agathys and Abjuration Wizard. Without ever taking damage from wards, you’re able to use your enemies reactions to deal massive cold damage back to them. You can even use water beforehand and on the same turn walk past such enemies, dealing 60 damage to multiple enemies, and probably even absorbing other actions as well

Barbarian 5 (any subclass honestly) Warlock 7 (pact of the blade) though. Benefits: Con save prof 3 attacks (pact of the blade + extra Attack, yes it works) charisma based rage damage (tested it yesterday) Armor of Agathys + Fire shield: cold + half damage from rage + reckless attack + any other damage reduction from medium armor/gear Take non-concentration and out of combat utility spells

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Sadly Pact of the Blade + Extra attack only gives the 3rd attack on tactician difficulty and below - on honour mode, you'll only get two attacks. You're right that it's a much more interesting multiclass on lower difficulties though!

[@LadyTsunade777]

Everyone always unfairly pigeonholes Cleric into "must be party healer and nothing else", when Cleric is arguably the _most_ diverse class thanks to the subclasses. In BG3, you've got Life for healing sure, but also Light and Tempest as heavy damage casters, and War for heavy melee damage front line. One of my favorite builds by far is Tempest Cleric 2 Storm Sorcerer 10. Tempest Cleric 2 gives you Heavy Armor proficiency, so with some Heavy armor and a shield and the right accessories, I've gotten my _full caster_ up to 25 AC without any spells active. Plus, I take the second level of Cleric (at the cost of the level 6 spell and spell slot from Sorc 11) for the Channel Divinity, which lets you force a maxed out damage roll on thunder or lightning damage. And guess what two damage types Storm Sorcerer focuses on? Plus I can use the Cleric levels to learn Create Water, which can turn lightning resists/neutrals into weaknesses, and can be Quickened by Sorc so I can wet everything in an area then blast them with a fully upcast, max damage roll Lightning Bolt, in the same turn. And I grab Healing Word, because it's always useful being able to pick up a downed party member at range for just a bonus action.

One think I don't see talked about very much is how unbelievably broken jump in monk is, especially with with thief rogue, like sure, 2 flurry of blows, common sense, but do you what happens when you combine unarmored movement speed, step of the wind bonus action dash, and bonus action monk disengage, causing jumps to be action-free? It means 40 base movement I think, depending of level split, base race, and feats taken, times 2 for step of the wind, so 80 movement, and now you can jump as many times as you like(this isn't 100% true, as even not costing a bonus action, a jump still costs 10 of your move distance, but what this means is that if you have any strength investment, which you usually will on a tavern brawler monk is that if you want to run across an entire battlefield and back, to pick up a single item from a huge, and vicious battlefield, or help an ally up off their ass in another country, or travel from the front door, to almost the back of the creche in a single turn, or navigate the shadowlands mid combat, only taking 1 single turn of necrotic damage, to activate a cutscene and start the harper battle early, that monk has you covered, and it's in my opinion strictly better than rogue double dash because of the vertical mobility, and it comes with no opportunity attacks

[@lassoedthesos5529]

I'm pretty sure if you math it out, the only greater mobility tool available in the game is fricking fast travel

[@markd8406]

One error, carried over from the last video: Rogue/Wizard is rated S tier, but Wizard/Rogue is A tier. I think it is meant to be S tier as discussed specifically in the Rogue segment. 27/66 multiclasses are S tier. That's a lot of S tier. Here's a quick categorization: Fighter + every class except Paladin & Sorcerer (9). Rogue + Ranger, Monk, Bard, Barb, Wizard (5) Wizard/Cleric + other True Full Casters (Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Cleric/Wizard) (7). Sorcerer + Druid (1). Paladin/Warlock + Charisma Classes (Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock/Paladin) (5) Interesting that Sorcerer + Bard is the only non-S tier charisma class pairing and the only non-S tier full caster pairing besides bard + druid. Also interesting to note. A few of the classes have very similar tier lists: Cleric + Wizard have very similar tier lists, with classes in basically the same order (Rogue is higher on Wizard's tier list and Wizard's lower tiers are rated lower, but in the same order). Monk, Ranger, and Monk all have the same S tier (fighter + rogue).

[@destroyerinazuma96]

A 5e player can truly see the link between 5e and BG3 in those multi builds. Just one example: in 5e too a Cleric or Fighter level is among the best stuff you can give to a Wizard.

[@lawrencefosterjenkins8216]

Definitely agree with the “excellent” tier choices for ranger multiclassing. A gloomstalker assassin battlemaster may not be the most original dex build, but it’s tried and true

[@macross3730]

this earned you a sub dude, from this table is eezy to compile your favorite multiclass combos.

[@Shjeshje]

Fighter/warlock is S+++. You can go champion with crit fishing gear and GoO lock for insane ampunts of fear. Paired with reverb gear, and you're laughing. With battlemaster, you can add a few maneuvers, i took disarm, trip, and riposte. Both options let you be quite SAD with CHA to attacks, and in tactician or lower, you get three attacks per turn. With high AC, you will dodge/block very often, which will let you use riposte for potentially 4 attacks per turn (3 on honor mode). It also gives you an extremely solid ranged option with EB, lets you be the party face as well, and grants devils sight for darkness/fog cloud abuse. 6/6 gives you 3 feats and access to level 3 spells. 8/4 is a bit more enticing for HM for another feat but loss of one invocation and level 3 spells. Both are good, but IMO 6/6 is strongest even on HM without the triple attack that never should have been available in the first place. It is still by far the most fun build I played and in the top 3 for overall power and utility. Its also very good with 10 rogue/2 lock. With just 12 in charisma you can take beguiling influence and devils sight which gives you two profs in CHA skills, rogue will let you take some expertise in at least 1 of them and you get wicked social checks and devils sight which makes stealing in HM less risky since you have a much better chance to talk your way out of it. The possible multiclass combos are insane

[@Prezzey]

Starting my first play through! I really don’t know whether to go for a Ranger Rogue (Legolas type) or a Ranger Wizard/Cleric build or go for a rogue worrier/wizard (Aragon/Garald type) idk!! Thoughts below? I haven’t made a character before but I’m thinking someone with good charisma/persuasion and either spells or range attacks with some weapon capability. PLEASE AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

[@jedimasterren5520]

Someone who is good at charisma/dialogue and spell casting and has some melee. Go for a multi class between Sword bard and warlock. With pact of the blade from warlock and extra attack from swords bard. You get access to 3 melee attacks. Go 6 and 6 with both. Both bard and warlock spell casting scales off charisma. Also pact of the blade makes your melee attacks scale off of charisma.

[@DJBlackNGold]

If you can get to lvl 13, monk/cleric becomes SO much better. 5 levels monk + 8 cleric with magic initiate druid makes an incredible utility class but you're just a single level shy of it coming online n bg3. Oh well. Also a correction, the wizard learning spells does work at DND tables RAW for prepared casters. So Paladin, Cleric, and Druid with a 1 level wizard dip have that same benefit on table.

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

Rewatching this, Monk + Wizard is a fine multiclass for an alchemist. Weird combo? Yes. Viable? Sure. You get extra attack for two throws, you already want tavern brawler making those throws super accurate and giving them a little damage, you can make your own elixirs, and with the elixirs all your asi feats can go into wisdom. And, you can still flurry of blows after the throws for very reasonable per turn damage. Honestly it could even be a B tier multiclass. And! You can get the shield spell on your Monk making them more resilient a few times a day. Wizard + Monk sounds pretty okay.

[@friedensapfel1427]

One of the most broken combos that I make was Monk way of the open Hand and Abjuration Wizard. Now your monk can attack enemies with a LOT of defense options with spells like Shield, blur, mirror image and of course the arcane ward and even reflect damage to enemies if you have 1 level in warlock or sorcerer for "armor of agathys". Yes, you will have so little spell slot, but the purpose is to make you have a lot of defense while already have the insane ofense of the monk. Even more, this combo doesn't heavy relly on gear at all.

[@02091992able]

Thing is ironically with the game. When looking at the classes in the character creator. The star tells you the class' main attribute with spell casters it's the stat for the spells. It tells you the right one for each class. But when you look at Paladin it lies to you and puts the star over Strength not Charisma. Charisma is a Paldin's spell casting attribute not strength. But one should not ignore it as it is the state that will determine the damage your melee weapons do. Also, if you plan on wearing heavy armor you want the extra carrying capacity.

I like a 6/6 split spore druid and open hand monk. I love the vibe of being a kung fu zombie with usless kung fu zombie apprentices. at this split you can summon 4 melee zombies and a ranged skeleton to be a thematically disfunctional army. they're squishy summons but longstrider and aid vastly improve their Value. I tend to go for 16 dex/wis and try to increase wisdom if convenient (ethel, mirror... thats it?). I wear graceful cloth until acquiring the spore light armor (+1 Necro damage, haste cloud). Uninhibited Kushigo boots and Hill giant gauntlets are the best option but there are plenty of alternatives. Then you can punch things with Necro fists. Cherished necromancy staff is a nice add on which virtually guaranteed blindness when cast.

[@02091992able]

Monk can go well with classes that are dexterity based as your melee goes off from dexterity for any weapon that you have proficiency in that is able to be used in one hand. If you play as a race that gets proficiency in longswords Elf or Githyanki, my favorite weapon type you can use longswords and even if they do not have finesse as a tag they will go off from dexterity. Which by default Monks use dexterity as opposed to strength. If you put your points into dexterity and wisdom you get the wisdom modifier added to AC much like how barbarians get their constitution modifier added to AC when wearing clothing. Which can work with Clerics or druids as the spell caster ability is wisdom for both. Sorcerer works with Paladin as the spell casting ability is Charisma for both. Putting points into strength as well makes it that your weapons are pretty effective at dealing damage as well. Can't close the distance and hit someone with your weapon, cast a spell. A sorcerer brought to level 6 with the draconic bloodline subclass gets a boost to damage of a set type. Lightning, acid, poison, fire or ice. Depends on what dragon type you choose. It's pretty insane on lower difficulties or if you really want to break the game custom difficulty with multiclass put into explorer.

[@cardinalmite9183]

You didn't talk at all either in the Monk section or the Cleric section about Monk/Cleric combinations. I notice you threw it in niche in the cleric section but don't look like you have considered it at all.. Doing an honour mode run with Monk light/Cleric and while I would not say it is the strongest combination it is pretty fun with spirit guardians, the synergy with the ability to do radiant damage on monk attacks and Wisdom is a shared attribute, so doesn't make the MAD madder. The extreme mobility Monks can get paired with Spirit Guardians is arguably as strong as thief fast hands. At least it is a different option to doing the same cookie cutter tavern brawler Thief builds.

For the combos in the lower tiers, check out the videos where I go over every combo in detail!

[@demon2808]

Monks already get unarmored defense. Secondly starting out you need two stats that need to be high.

[@luchulainn]

I’m still trying to understand which class I take first. For example, for a Druid/wizard, do I take wiz 1 first or Druid 1 first?

[@Kiqqer]

So wouldn't taking cleric dip later in a build switch your main casting stat to wisdom? For instance, an 8 level sorc taking a cleric dip at 9 would be effectively neutering your sorc, right?

[@binolombardi]

There are a lot of cleric spells that don’t rely on casting stats to be effective. Wisdom investment for casting those 1st level cleric spells is unnecessary. BG3 multiclassing doesn’t require minimum stat investment. Don’t need wisdom at all to use the many great benefits if a 1 level cleric dip.

[@soapminer7099]

Subscribe! Idk why but I love just listening to all the combos of classes and trying all the stuff that sounds interesting. Like this game is so fucking deep and I haven’t even tried an origin run. Like how do you make a game with infinite replay value like even better than new Vegas did.

[@SkyNinja759]

Warlock is S+ tier. The frontloaded features, synergy with both martial and casters, as well as general cheese power makes dipping as a secondary always viable.

[@robbtc6419]

Awsome!

[@karxpoland5958]

I know i’m late but question. Can you smite during rage? I am a 5e player and in fact you can smite while raging there, question is, can you smite in BG3, because if yes, than there is this absurd combo of 5 barb, 5 pal, and 2 fighter. You basically can smite 6 times in a turn, have your frenzy attack, are basically unkillable due to second wind, and lay on hands

[@Cephalopocalypse]

You can! It's pretty powerful (see my build "the zealot of zariel" for a bg3 version of the character). One thing though is that I think if you're getting 6 smites there you're counting Extra Attack from both Barbarian and Paladin - extra attack from multiple sources doesn't stack, so you may be giving yourself a few too many smites :D

[@karxpoland5958]

@@Cephalopocalypse Okay so that is different from 5e since in 5e it does stack, as is it a class feature, meaning you do get 3 attacks total. I will test tho, since if it does work as in 5e, single attack, + barb extra attack, + pal extra attack + extra action from fighter should be 6. Pop in haste or elixyr of speed

[@jamesbaker9924]

Are ranged/spell casters just stronger than melee or does it just feel that way? It feels kinda sad when I’m a melee class but the casters and archers end up wiping out the encounter faster thanks to big aoe spells/arrow of many targets and slaying arrows. I get it’s not a competition but I can’t help but ask.

[@Leongon]

You might have the wrong idea of what "action economy" is. You think it is to make sure to have more actions and bonus actions but what it really means is to not waste your turn doing something inefficient regardless of how many actions you can perform.

[@ArteriusSaren]

Man and machine and there's nothing between....

[@strideredz]

What multiclass builds are best for each companion, taking in consideration their origin, race and story.

[@Krater84]

Another grand slam homerun.

[@lucasbarros822]

Multiclass wizard, are the spell learned from scrolls always intellect based? I'am trying to get attack roll spells into Shadowheart, though I learned them from scrolls while having the previous level as a wizard. They are all INT based, even tried respecting her and learn a few more spells from scrolls with a previous level on cleric to see if they would be Wisdom based but no avail, still Intellect. Are they simply all Int based? Or can you change it to wisdom somehow?

[@prismatica8416]

Wizard spells are int based, cleric spells are wisdom based. It swaps depending on which class' spells you're casting. Look for a headband of intellect, makes her int as high as her wisdom and negates that issue.

[@AnnikaOrne]

So what you’re saying is every origin companion can be a Bard multiclass (with Karlach as a Paladin) 🤔😇

[@Cephalopocalypse]

can and perhaps... should???

Thanks for reminding me of that game! It's been in my "wait until it's done early access" pile for years now

Thanks

[@macross3730]

so witch is more Guts oriented build or best damage F11/B1, F8/B4 ?

[@kenzovich9225]

Fighter6/thief3/berserk3. GWM + asi or savage attacker. That's 4 attacks on turn 2 and onwards but you'll need to pay attention to your hit chance, since berserker bonus attack gives - 1 each attack.

[@enderdoctor7631]

any suggestions for the best paladin multiclass order for bard/warlock
