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.

[@busanilucas94]

Thank you so much for all the content you've been making! I'm hoping my current honor mode run can work now...

[@Avoncarstien]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@cadesummers5866]

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

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.

[@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?

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.

[@lafunk1978]

Here we go!!!!!!

[@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.

[@chipsalom]

Class combinations but paired with the best gear set up for it, a lot of ppl don't know the mechanics well enough to understand why you'd want to mainhand Bloodthirst with a lower damage range and offhand a higher damage range offhand, etc rather than the other way around, etc

[@MilkJugA_]

Rogue assassin + 1 level of warlock = frighten everyone at the start of the fight

[@marcosdheleno]

i said this before, but i quite like paladin 8 warlock 4. going pact of the blade, and having eldritch blast for long range picking. starting as a warlock, until level 4, before respecing into paladin 1, warlock 3, get to warlock 4 for the extra atributtes on charisma, and then go all the way with paladin. i feel like alot of people ignore how usefull having more feats are. from alert, to sentinel or whatever other feat you wish.

[@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.

*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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@enderdoctor7631]

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

[@SarahExpereinceRequiem]

Since it's totally possible to get 20 int/20 Wis (especially with all the stat items) the temptation to make Mystic Theurge at home is very hard to resist.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Absolutely! In fact, you can check out my version of this build under "the real best wizard in bg3" :D

[@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

[@robbtc6419]

[@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.

[@lyrsenanokar]

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!

[@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.

[@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.

I love this game. I really hope they add my favourite classes to it. Then it would be THE best game ever for me. I keep going back to modded Skyrim to scratch the itch I need, I really want to play as a fey wanderer ranger with Tasha's ranger and wildfire druid. In addition to those classes, the rune knight fighter. For flavour for this game, please allow an owl familiar and the fairy dragon (forgot its name, pseudo dragon I think) for the warlock and a hawk/eagle companion for the ranger. Chef's kiss.

[@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.

The goat

[@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

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

[@stinkerhead]

Would you recommend multiclassing for a first playthrough, or does it not matter?

[@happyrogue768]

5e classes are really frontloaded so multiclassing can make your playthrough much easier especially if you are on a higher difficultly. BG3 Multiclassing is really easy. Basically you should avoid going to 5th level on two classes that extra attack as they do not stack, if you are playing a bow/crossbow build it is beneficial to have enough levels to get the archery fighting style. If you are in a build that uses their bonus action for attacks you should go 3 levels into Rogue for the thief subclass, if your character's main stat is charisma two level in warlock is good because Eldritch blast scales with character level and not warlock level and because of the two Eldritch blast invocations at level 2, if you start as a full caster you should probably not dip more than a level into a different full caster so that you can get to level 6 spells except for storm Sorcerer and tempest cleric where I recommend a 10/2 split, and to avoid multiclassing two classes that have overlapping abilities like Ranger and druid as you get the worst of both worlds

@@Ireniicus My main character is a mono moon druid, (mostly using summons and wildshape with tavern brawler) I have Karlach as a barbarian 5, fighter 4, thief 3 , based on throwing weapons or ennemies with the tavern brawler feat. I made shadowheart a gloomstalker 5 , battle master 4, thief 3 , using a crossbow in each hand, with the sharpshooter feat Gayle is a wizard 8, sorcerer 4 with high int but low charisma. Giving 4 levels of fighter and 3 of thief to karlach and shadowheart gives them action surge and a feat from fighter, and a bonus action from thief. it aldo gives superiority dices and sneak attack to shadowheart but it doesn't work on thrown weapons. For both, I think it's more valuable than what they get from their main class. Gayle gets metamagic from 4 levels of sorcerer (and still gets a feat) I can still learn high level spells from scrolls. (I needed level 8 to learn counterspell as a wizard so it's based on int and there is no scroll for it) As I have low charisma, I learnt spell that don't require an attack roll or saving throw with my sorcerer levels, like mage hand, mage armor, longstride ... The only thing I lose compared to a full wizard is the number of spells prepared as a wizard is a bit lower, so I have to choose a bit more carefully. but the metamagic more than makes up for it.

Nice

[@Younghoon15]

There's nothing quite fun like playing a 7 paladin and 5 warlock to burst down a single target with hex + bind weapon and extra attacking giving 3 actions + smite

[@RelSWF]

This got patched out of Honor mode so no more extra attack 😢

[@Younghoon15]

@@RelSWF yea I know. Feels bad man. But it's still an amazing pairing. Gives paladins a really solid range option with eldritch blast, and smites can for whatever reason be used with warlock spell slots so you can still get some unga bunga damage, plus with blade of the pact you effectively won't need strength or dex for weapon damage since it'll all come from your charisma stat, which you can further boost with hex

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

Hope you feel better soon!

[@curlzncrush]

This makes my brain hurt. I think monoclassing it on easy will continue to be the way forward for me until I reach the plateau of enlightenment

[@SpyroX.I]

I thought you don't get saving throw proficiencies?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

You get the saving throw proficiencies from the class you take at level 1 - the point is you can take your first level in a different class to get those saves, usually sorcerer or fighter to get CON saves on a caster.

[@SpyroX.I]

@@Cephalopocalypse Thats what i thought. Is this said in the video and i missed it? It's quite important

[@Nivomandasrail]

KZbin just packs your videos full of ads, it's crazy. You make such great content but it's genuinely frustrating to watch on mobile because of the interruptions and constantly having to skip 3-5 minute long advertisements.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Sadly I don't have a lot of control over this - youtube chooses ads and ad density based on your location and history mostly (and I think serves more ads on mobile precisely because people can't easily tab over to do something else). Definitely frustrating though!

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.

Another grand slam homerun.

[@toddparker514]

Was curious how would a 8th lvl monk 3rd lvl thief and 1st lvl war cleric for the extra bonus actions ?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

War cleric doesn't play super well with monk generally, because they can already make a bonus action attack every turn, so they don't need the bonus action attacks from war cleric. If you want to mix in cleric I'd go with light for wardning flare, though nature for shillelagh can actually be pretty fun as well for a weapon monk

[@toddparker514]

Could they make another bonus action attack with war cleric plus I like the thought of having sanctuary for protection in between turns .

[@komplex6081]

Sightstone league of legends. Nice

[@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.

[@roccolafleche1113]

How the hell barbarian is not in S tier for the Monk multiclassing. Barbarian Monk shred absolutely everything with flurry of blows and tavern brawler

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Spending a bonus action raging instead of attacking is a real dps loss for monks, but A tier is still really good
