Went to buy titanstring bow in the Zhentarim hideout, walked by something flammable, nuked team. 10/10 honor mode friendly 👻 will try again

[@minnesotanose]

best way to to get it is to put all of brem’s stuff in a pouch or backback. the. throw zarys off the top. then blow it up. you kill everyone and get all of the gear.

[@acrab6527]

Alternate idea. Eldritch knight fighter instead of battlemaster. Continue spell progression by getting more slots, and can get shield and mage armor for when you're wearing the spore robe. Also False Life to refill temp HP to not lose the necrotic damage and you can bind the torch and throw it to start fires.

[@raff_spriggles_tfn5910]

Add in the bonus element damage from the drake glaive if it stacks.

[@PrinsB]

You can use the Headgear of Lump-Oger for INT 17 until you arrive in Last Light.

[@jackripley3906]

Unfortunately, the spore robes are light armor, so mage armor does not work

[@TehWolfmanOP]

Being Eldritch Knight would only get you one additional 4th level slot since it's only a one-third caster (which is admittedly helpful for some of those Conjure spells). But you'd also be limited to just four additional 1st level spells in your bank. Your suggestions are fine (I'd trade Mage Armor for maybe like Magic Missile), but I would argue that fully disarming enemies so they deal significantly less damage over the course of several fights with dice that replenish on short rests is WAY more valuable than occasionally taking no damage using spell slots that only come back on long rests. You really want to be using those 1st level slots for Faerie Fire in mass fights so you're almost always guaranteed to hit them. Speaking of hitting things, not being a Battle Master would also eliminate the extra damage maneuvers deal, meaning it would take even longer for them to die.

[@PrinsB]

The Torcherer We also cast Shillelagh on our Torch but we need Lump's Headgear for 17INT and more Spellslots via Eldritch Knight. 16Dex, 15CON, 17WIS Starterclass: Fighter - LV1: Fighting Style, CON Saving Throws Druid: - LV2 (D1): Whip & Shillelagh - LV3 (D2): Spores Symbiotic Entity - LV4 (D3): Moonbeam, Hold Person Fighter: - LV5 (F2): Action Search - LV6 (F3): Eldritch Knight (INT17) - LV7 (F4): +1 WIS / +1Con - LV8 (F5): Extra-Attack - LV9 (F6): Savage Attacker Druid: - LV10 (D4): +2WIS - Rest Druid

[@com5]

If you went Half Orc with your fighter, you would get Savage Attacker for free.

[@servine1212]

Watching your channel has inspired me to try and come up with my own builds. Most recently, I came up with a touch of death sorcerer that off hands their trident of the waves and aims to soak my oponent before unleashing a super amped shocking grasp. I decided to stack critical hit stuff (GOO, Spell sniper, Vicious potion) since I can create an electrified puddle and force my enemies to stand in it due to the fear effect from being crit. It doesn't hold a candle to the damage in ur builds, but I can consistently pump out 70+ damage a turn for no resources. And even more with twined spell, haste, or quickened spell. Im currently looking into building a gish like mourning frost build (Since insidious cold triggers off of smite spells).

[@Makedeth]

These build are amazing, i havent played BG3 for a while but i always enjoy watching these builds and how they work!

[@jayrobitaille2402]

I noticed there is a hierarchy of physical damage types in BGIII. Bludgeoning>Slashing >Piercing. Bludgeoning is the most common weakness and Piercing is the most common resistance thanks to undead and Grymm, with Slashing being rarely resisted or a weakness. The only caveats is that any magic physical damage beats non-magical physical damage on average and Bhalist Armour basically operates outside this hierarchy and pushes piercing far and above bludgeoning.

[@hanneswurstbrot6902]

You noticed correctly😊

[@Warblaaster]

Oh nice! I'm currently running the spore necromancer Which is super fun. Can't wait to use this as an excuse to to run druid again XD.

[@e-duh3529]

Crazy this is pretty much the exact build I came up with for my Jaheira. Seeing so many damage numbers is super fun

[@Zasurein]

I utilized a lot of this in act 1 then made way more use of Moonbeam and Spike Growth (works with callous glow) in Act 2 onward. You can combo it with 1 point in Cleric if you wanna cheese the game with Sanctuary.

[@edielungreen]

Being 💯 distracted by the Dragon Age music lol

[@portuguesebully3831]

Awesome video as always, never think that torch could do so much damage.... By the way still being persistent about the druid Spider focused build, thanks Im advance man 🎉🎉

[@pulpy1829]

I like to use the hill giant club from the Arcane Tower on my spore druid runs.

[@mranimu2763]

Lilianas song nice choice for background in vi3

[@isabelfernandes7737]

This is a masterpiece

[@thatguy9088]

Fun fact about Moonbeam: Moving it doesn't break sanctuary. So you can cast it, then either go 1 cleric to Sanc yourself, or have someone else cast it on you, and you are pretty much untouchable for 10 turns. And if your druid is alone, enemies will cluster up for you. My level 3 druid just solo'd the gnoll fight. All I did was run up, cast moonbeam, then have shadowheart (hanging in back) Sanc the druid and keep out of combat range. All the gnolls just crowded around and growled while Moonbeam fried them. Easiest Gnoll fight I've had.

[@drunemeton]

Pro Tip: Elixir of Bloodlust grants +5 temp HP + an Action on a kill and those THP will refill your Symbiotic Entity pool of THP! D&D doesn’t work like that but BG3 does.

[@liberalideas8224]

Some interesting shout outs in the video for sure. The best combo I found for spore druid though is rocking hand crossbows to keep them out of melee which helps: * to preserve their temp HP dependent feature * still utilizing the extra necrotic damage without getting too far away to use the free damage ability * leaving room for summons such as zombies to screen for you. * flexible enough to easily give them the radiant orb kit, heat kit, arcane acuity kit, or reverb kit, ect, whichever you aren't using on other characters * hand crossbows make the efficient use of any weapon coatings and arcane acuity when used by a spell caster * leans on Dex, which even in spite of all the great balancing bg3 brought to dnd 5e, dex is still a incredibly broken stat * A 1 to 3 level dip into fighter, rogue, or bard all work well, so very flexible for your party or play style * a 6 or 7 level mutli-class into oath breaker paladin makes for a interesting necromancer build That may just be my play style though.

[@TheSpudKing]

Yeah thats cool 😎 i posted dual crossbow spore ranger few weeks ago o guess ))

[@liberalideas8224]

@@TheSpudKing ah, I missed that. I ll have to go back for a look for sure. Thanks boss.

[@douglasfugate1755]

Moonbeam+Sanctuary. Fantastic combo.

[@deadworld953]

Been wanting to make a Gishy druid for a long time now but lack the game knowledge to do it. (or should I say lacked*) Thanks Spud!

[@coolvidguy08]

DAO music nice Spud

[@GenoKiller7]

love the OG Dragon Age Music

Long live Spud the King!

[@juancarlosroyano1853]

love you! XD

[@oulzac]

I really wanted to try this build for a new run I'm starting as it looks really fun. But sadly it is not possible on console. The way the game works with the controller interface makes it almost impossible to keep the Shellelagh up long enough on both torches due to how slow it is to get it put on to them both, to enter combat with up on both for more than 1 or 2 rounds. You end up entering combat with only 1-2 rounds on the first one, your main hand, if you are fast enough. And 5-6 on the off hand one. The controller interface is just too bulky and slow for something like this. Sadly it is the same with dipping a weapon into say fire or poison. And as there is no way to use a hireling to use Shellelagh due to how it is cast, only on the character who is casting for their equipped weapons, there is no way to cheese it. This is why I think Shellelagh should be until long rest. It makes no sense to have to keep casting it over and over for only 10 turns, which goes way faster outside of turn based. When things like bind pact weapon do the same thing for warlock, and are until long rest. But sadly can only be done on a single weapon at a time. So now to look through more videos for another idea for the next run.

[@robulrich6355]

In console, you can't manually go into turn-based before combat? That sucks.

[@oulzac]

@@robulrich6355 You can, but its just bulky and slow as I mentioned. Radial menus are the bane of crpg gaming on console.

[@minnesotanose]

im building a druid now. i got 1 lvl in fighter, 2 into paladin, and im going the rest of the way as druid. so far damage is through the roof

[@anthonymorris1360]

The torch shillelagh dual wield is inspired Spud! Love your videos; the edits are great. Any other games / content on your horizon friend?

[@TheSpudKing]

Yeah, will try myself in elden ring 💍 and/or mostly focus on RPGs , so probably will add some older stuff

[@com5]

I like this build a lot, but i can't get over how my char runs. Looks so dopey.

[@zur_klo2164]

DAO ost, what are you doing here?

[@iamthewerebear4837]

You get a like and subscribe just for using a scene from the movie Snatch. Absolutely love that film. He's not a fucking tin of baked beans! What do you mean open him up?

[@luckytheprotoboi826]

Just trying this build out. How did you get 19 AC on Level 2? Highest I can get is 15 AC. I started as a fighter but for some reason it doesn't give me CON profiency.

[@EverardNorbert]

They say spore people is a dj house now I get it now.

[@kylemartin8200]

What about using a barbarian? Being able to rage could be crazy cause spores stay active and depending if you got bear heart those additional points essentially double. Or maybe wild magic for the extra spell progression and the ability to replenish spell slots?

[@TheSpudKing]

Yeah, i like it :) still it blocks a lot, but i theorycrafting alot of weird barbarians now

[@patrickh.8165]

I think you can render the shillelagh buff permanent with the hireling glitch. I have not tested it but it should be the same principle as flame blade I guess. Can someone try it? 😂

[@TheWolfDelta]

I used 'Kingdom' as an online alias so I was like "huh?!" at the first 7 seconds

[@kittydaddy2023]

I definitely threw that club away

[@demiurge_n_dragons]

A better "torch" in act 1 would be the Gold Wyrmling Staff from Roah Moonglow. it ain't free, but it has 1d6 base damage + 1d4 fire if held in one hand or 1d8 versatile (two hands) + fire. Better than the Ironwood Club from act 2 imo.

[@Thomasnmi]

Dual wielding torches looks goofy

[@brandonwyman9125]

Yea, that startup won’t work. By the time you get circle of spores open, you’ll be way past the starting ruins after the ship and heading to the blighted village and the goblin camp, which are above the level he is talking about. Maybe you can still one shot blighted village goblins but idk if having to co stately switch hands to use the cantrip on each torch is worth it to me. Seems like a lot of hassle

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

Curious if shillelagh torches hit harder than the everburn blade we can get from the demon on the nautiloid?

[@morpheoss]

Green Flame!!!

[@MrFuggleGuggle]

Thorn Whip kinda sucks...you'll likely never use it, if playing the build as you should (melee fighter). Better to get Guidance instead, for an easy concentration spell to combine with the gear that give you more damage when concentrating...and reduce dependency on needing an item or cleric in the party to cast Guidance for dialogue checks.

[@noctoi]

I"m going to be trying this next playthrough... but I have a vital question... which dye did you use on that armour in the start act 3 section?!?!

[@TheSpudKing]

can't remember, but it either "black and jade green" or one from mods "gothic black dye".

[@soulcleric]

anyone else notice the WoW login screen music

[@magikenzee]

I clearly don't know how to cast shillelagh on both weapons correctly cause one always expells within 2 turns

[@RAWBOT301]

shill-lay-lee

[@tylerskeen8860]

My liege! I love the videos and the builds but I need you to drop a goat build for console! (Something that can be optimized on there)

[@TheSpudKing]

I got builds for ps5 release, all of them preety easy to play, so you dont need to worry on 100 interactions

[@ichauch9333]

I use double sausages. Best Weapons!

[@MonsterCodex]

Spore Druid does give more dialogue with the Myconids right? Have to try that build out!

[@InnocentLock-er6et]

Unfortunately no, there is no special spore Druid dialogue even in the colony…

[@JosieJOK]

@@InnocentLock-er6etExcept for the special quarterstaff you get for talking Kagha down, but that’s the only instance. Ironic, seeing as how there are two other Druid characters you can have in your party!

[@3747andy]

where the heck would I get a 17ac medium armor at lvl2?

[@amekeen3070]

What's the music playing at ~4:48?

[@The1MrJ]

its so weird when i try any of these "streamer builds" on honor mode they seem to not work. darkness? no sweat every enemy hits through it as if they have advantage

[@TheSpudKing]

Doing darkness run right now, feels completely fine :0

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

how do you get broodmothers revenge? without attacking the grove and making daemon dead?

[@R0gue9]

Sneak into the room behind Kagha and loot her chest hidden in there. You’ll get a quest to investigate Kagha and it leads you to an area near Ethel’s hut. Once you have the evidence from there you can confront Kagha with it and without aggro’ing the whole grove.

[@wobatan8833]

does anyone know if sthing happens if you never talk to withers in the game can you even avoid it ??? thx :)

[@TheSpudKing]

he will come to your camp anyway ;)

[@473neo]

I'm missed, how did you get heavy armor at lvl 2?

[@A11ie_Russo]

Start as a Fighter and you will be proficient in heavy armor from lvl 1. You probably will have it on you from the start of the game.

[@TheSpudKing]

From any trader

[@giantmonkee1199]

Kill the dude with his sister and on the way to owlbear cave. He has level 16 armor

[@SuicidalBabyTTV]

just get very rare gear from any trader at level 2. No big deal. everyone just ignore the spawned items in his inventory.

[@drunemeton]

@@giantmonkee1199It’s OILBEAR! 😂

[@Dark4ges2]

Wait- where did you get all that gear at level 2??

[@zanuffas6274]

yeah you can assume how legitimate these builds are when the guy uses act 2-3 gear on level 2 enemies

[@maximillianjayphoenix]

It’s Ah-cue-atee not ackquity (Fire Acuity). Sha-lay-leigh not Shalala (Shillelagh)

Thanks 🙏

[@MrSvinota]

Dark Justiciar Half Plate is the second half of the Act 2 (reward for killing Nightsong). But you are wearing it in Act 1. What the fuck up?

[@kingofgrim4761]

While I know commenting helps the algorithm, I want it to be known I could not watch more of this video after you lied within the first few minutes. 19AC at level 2, showing a medium Armor that is higher AC than any heavy armor you can get at this stage in the game is absurd, especially when you are planning to run dual wield torches. For anyone wondering, gith medium armor is the best armor you can get this early, that and a shield would be 17AC, possibly becoming 19, but defeats the purpose of the build.

[@nopadon302]

Nightsong gear at act 1 . nice cheater lol

[@efugee]

Shillelagh. It is pronounced: Sha-Lay-Lay.

[@jakeparkinson8929]
