Another alternative pair of gloves that works with this build are the Gloves of Belligerent Skies which can be found towards the end of Act 1 (beginning of act 2?) in a chest in the Githyanki Crèche. These gloves inflict two stacks of reverberation whenever you deal lightning, thunder or radiant damage. Combined with the Spell Sparkler, which you can get early in act one, you can make a viable early version of this build before fleshing it out in late game with more levels and better gear options.

if you wear the risky ring you are doubling your chance for a crit, which is already pretty high, but makes it nearly guaranteed (50-60 % chance, over 3 attacks per action), far better than 2 extra damage or the debuf light orbs
@NerdyStarProductions8 ай бұрын
100% agreed. Risky ring is just a must-have for any crit focused builds.
@EGOR.d077 ай бұрын
yeah but you're forgetting the debuff aspect of that ring. the disadvantage you'll receive will very likely result in a concentration break, and on tactician/honor, concentrating on Haste pretty much makes every enemy want to bang you hard (and i think casting a twinned haste makes them want to bang even harder). this way, not only you but also another ally will lose a turn and likely get critted into oblivion. IF you're 100% going risky ring, make sure to cast mage armor, mirror image and use shield as a reaction instead of the hellish rebuke. (and the occasional prayer to the dice gods)
@ventimain65467 ай бұрын
It's not really double, but double is a decent approximation for not too high crit chances.
@yihadistxdl9516 ай бұрын
doesnt quite double your crit chance it just lets you roll twice and use the highest result. the thing here is that this happens because of the advantage mechanic. and there are plenty of other ways to get advantage. for example if youre not completely soloing the build, you have devils sight and you can just go hide into a magical darkness cloud from your cleric for example and you get advantage on every roll. its not better than the radiant damage simply because it applies on all damage rider sources. you can use phalar aluve etc. to get extra damage rider sources to multiply that radiant damage into procking several times per attack. also id like to mention that you automatically gain advantage against proned targets as well which happens very often in this build as well
@Bilndmann6 ай бұрын
you can also use darkness to get advantage
@CK-et5do8 ай бұрын
Another reason the king of the under mountain king is perfect is that for the first attack, if the target is not illuminated and partially obscured, you have advantage. After the first hit, the radiant benefits kick in

I'm curious what the reason for going fighter for 4 levels is over just going 4 more levels of sorcerer. Champion fighter gives you 4 more max hp over levelups, action surge, a fighting style (which doesn't look too be terribly helpful), and 1 reduction to your critical threshold. Just going 4 more levels in draconic sorcerer gives you 4 more sorcery points, another metamagic, 3 level 4 and 2 level 5 spell slots (the equivalent of 22 more sorcery points or a way to upcast scorching ray even more), another cantrip learned and 3 more sorcerwr spells learned. I feel like the spell slots and sorcery points together more than make up what fighter offers, and I'm not too hung up on losing 4 hp. What am I missing?

As draconic lineage I picked bronze dragon, Sorc 6 allows you to add CHA bonus to damage with your element, works with lighting charges/Spellsparkler, with Potent Robe and agonizing blast you can add your CHA bonus three times to each blast (but that changes whole build a bit) Sorlock is really strong but the most broken class I found so far is monk, you go with following stats: STR 8, DEX 16 and WIS 16, CON 15, then either 10CHA/8INT or other way around, doesn't matter, you level up as monk till level 6, choosing way of open hand and Tavern Brawler as feat (and pick increased CON, that's why you start with 15), you buy all strength potions you can find, Aunt Estel has some, dwarven woman in Underdark (mushroom ppl colony) is the other vendor for acts 1+2, they last till long rest, always have one on you, in act 3 just visit all vendors, they have some as well, at level 7 you multiclass to Rogue, at level 9 (monk6/rogue3) pick Thief for extra bonus action (extra flurry of blows), last 3 level are up to you, can continue as monk, can splash fighter 2(action surge) + cleric1 (sanctuary), up to you

Don’t go with 2 fighter on the monk/rogue build, you’re missing out on two feats for action surge which really isn’t worth it. If you get all the right equipment, buffing your wisdom is just straight up better than any amount of fighter. You could technically drop two levels of monk for fighter and only lose out on one feat, but then you lose Evasion, so I definitely wouldn’t bother. Monk 8/Rogue 4 is ideal IMO.

You could always get the extra 2 charisma from the Mirror of Loss and swap the birthright hat to Sarevoks helm for an even better crit chance

I’m not certain if this was patched but even tho the birthright hat says it has a cap of 22 you can get 24 charisma with hat +mirror, agian don’t know if it was patched, might’ve been how he got 24 charisma in video

Worth pointing out you can also consider using the Dark justiciar helmet - it reduces your critt roll by 1 as long as you are obscured which is going to be a lot of cases especially if you make use of your devils sight. Not sure whether the -1 critt roll is better than 2 charisma but its certainly a viable option
@Pessimists3 ай бұрын
Doesn't Sarevok's helmet do the same except without the need of being obscured?
@pepparmostheelder3 ай бұрын
@@Pessimists Yes but takes even longer to get and being obscured is rather the rule rather than the exception in BG3 - especially if you use things like darkness. As a lock with devil's sight you might also want to keep saveroks helm for a non warlock companion. So for example if you play around darkness then you automatically is always heavily obscured and saveroks allow companions to also make use of the shadow with you So in terms of efficiency I'd say for this build DJ helmet probably wins out for most cases but it does require some awarness and strategy while saveroks helm is just something you put on and forget about. Saverok also comes with the benefit of immunity to fear while DJ gives some extra con save. So yeah, arguably better item but also quite significantly later for most players in terms of when you will access it

1d6 extra damage every EB that hits on multiple fights across the whole day or a once a day 5 temp HP that will not last the first fight?

If you follow the build and use fiend for early game armor is only marginally better than your passive 4 temp you get every kill. More damage in early is much better than marginal ac and 1 hp

@@grueti21 different things apply prone for different durations. Slipping on ice, being knocked by enraged throw, falling prone after being shoved off a cliff for example last for 1 turn. Reverberation applies prone for 2 turns. The best action that can cause prone is the battle master maneuver trip attack, and specifically the ranged version of it, which applies prone indefinitely, which means that on any enemy that you knock prone with that attack, as long as you can frighten it or maim it or entangle it every turn, it will never be able to do anything.

Ring of Spiteful Thunder (sold by one of the moonrise NPCs, don't remember which) sets a Daze debuff whenever reverberation detonates. Daze removes the DEX bonus to AC and gives disadvantage on WIS saves, and makes it to where they can't take reactions if they don't get knocked prone. It's not a lot, but its an option.
