This Combo Shouldn't Be Possible | Baldur's Gate 3 Oathbreaker Paladin Pact Weapon Is Insane

[@Khrazegaming]

For future reference, in case this gets fixed, the Extra Attack from Pact Weapon (Warlock) shouldn't stack with out sources of Extra Attacks (level 5 martial classes). But in the current version of the game (hotfix 4), it does. So you get 2 Extra Attacks per turn. If this ever gets fixed, we'll likely switch to multiclassing it with Fighter, maybe Sorc for more smites,

[@ericschmidt2759]

Btw you can hit a "+" in the bottom right at the Action Bar to get extra rows so you don't have to pull the different bars around ;p

[@yeetman1344]

quik build tips is you speck into wizard and learn spells from scolls then spec bac you keep the spells so you can have spells like shield and have insane AC on any build I have manage to get into the 40s also a build like this but with haste GWM and a dip into fighter can give you like 12+ attacks and its pretty OP. Also Crit fishing stacks so the potion stacks with the Chapions better crits and combined with advantage it gives crits for days and its fun AF I'm running 6 plaladin/3 fighter/3 bard for this and its pretty strong

[@alexw4482]

I recently saw a mod posted that adds shadow sorcerer. If the triple attack gets fixed that would pair nicely with oathbreaker.

[@CarBENbased]

Have they fixed Devil's Sight so it works in magical darkness now?

[@lolpaladins]

IMO if it gets fixed, taking oathbreaker to 9, for animate dead (kind of like an extra attack) or vengeance paladin to 9 for haste (which IS an extra attack, but only for 10 turns) is the way to go. (also you get more spell slots).

[@burningknight7]

For future reference, the extra attacks stacking is confirmed by a larian product manager that it is working as intended! possibly a bug turned feature but a recognized feature now nonetheless

[@stankmcdankton6204]

This build shines in act 2 due to one key feature. Control Undead. You can take control of ANY undead creature with this oathbreaker ability as long as your target fails their save, and so long as the target doesn't specifically say it's immune to being charmed. That means you can press Malus Thorm into fighting on your side until a long rest.

[@Sentarius101]

Another thing to buff this build: The Dead Shot, a very rare +2 Longbow, sold by Fytz the Firecracker in the Lower City near the Toy Store in Act 3. It gives a passive effect while equipped, you don't have to be using this, of increasing crit chance by 1 and can stack. This means without any other crit chance bonuses, you can crit on 19s and 20s. There are many other bows too that can give you passive effects while they are stowed, such as being able to cast spells like magic missile or haste once per short/long rest, advantage on monstrosities etc. Your bow choice can give you a very nice passive bump depending on what you choose. You can even double up on bonuses if you dual wield hand crossbows; the Ne'er Misser gives you an upcast magic missile per long rest and you can wield it with the Hellfire Hand Crossbow for an upcast Scorching Ray once per long rest. But there are other options I don't know about too.

[@point-five-oh6249]

Dead shot sucks unless you're building the paladin for crits. Best to have darkfire for the haste. If you get paladin to crit on like 15-20, Deadshot going to 14-20 is pretty decent. Otherwise it's better on a ranged character rather than collecting dust in the back pocket.

[@TheHkfrnds]

Great guide all around. Just a small suggestion: get the bow from last light inn that grants you haste spell or use potions for haste; pop that at start of combat for that xtra 2 AC bonus along with extra action in combat further boosting your damage for 10 rounds of combat.

[@Mish_Age]

Do not have a paladin in my party, but omg why are they so powerfull?) Definitely gonna have a second evil playthrough as an oathbreaker paladin. The first thing I thought with this build was "Why to not do a fighter 2 / paladin 5 / warlock 5 multiclass?" Constitution saving throw proficiency, action surge, haste, elixir of bloodlust and you have 13 attacks in just one turn with that hell of a weapon. Nothing will survive this.

[@spiltichor1192]

After you long rest, always drink an elixir of bloodlust (possible exception if you're about to act transition, because some long rests during act transitions force more than one long rest), because it will last until your next long rest, and any time you kill during your turn while the bloodlust elixir is active, you will gain another action, which means another 3 attacks.

[@BittermanAndy]

13:25 The armour DOES count as Heavy Armour, it just automatically gives proficiency. But it means that Barbarians can't rage because it's still Heavy Armour.

[@devonjoseph8753]

When they get around to patching out the Bound Weapon extra attack bug I would recommend switching this build to 8 Paladin/4 Warlock since you'll no longer need 5 warlock for the extra attack. Going with an 8/4 spread nets you two additional feats which you can pump into CHA for that sweet 20 charisma and then take Polearm Master for more attacks of opportunity but more importantly a second attack with your polearm. The base damage for the second polearm attack is low but you add so many modifiers on top of it with this build that the reduced base damage is negligible.

[@KreeStyleVT]

This or, 8 fay warlock/4 paladin, for 4th level smites (only 2 but with a bard in your team it can go up to 6 because of short rests), more warlock invocations ofc, some of them are really cool, misty escape is very good because after getting hit it your next attack is at a advantage (and a free misty step is also good), greater invisibility is a really good spell that you can get too (it uses one of your spell slots but still it can give a lot to the fight if you are lucky with stealth saves), And switching up the build to be a little less tanky but getting even 24 charisma with a hat from act3 and rely more on potions to get higher strength is also fine (I finished the game with one spare potion that gave me 27 str so). That allows for more and better options for gloves slot that can give you even more dmg, and having a little lover ac but more over all buffs from other party members is generally better. The build and this one is more of a solo carry but it could get overwhelmed at some unlucky points (when fighting enemys immune to fear or something like that) (sorry for any mistakes :3 i just finished the game with the build that typed out right now and i had so much fun, and i totally know that there is some optimization that can be done if i had that +1 from the hag in act 1)

[@renegadeforlife5782]

Nah, you want more Warlock than Paladin. Warlocks have limited high level spell slots at higher levels that reset on short rest. Since Paladin and Warlocks share the same spell casting score, you can cast spells, and more importantly, certain abilities interchangeably. Start with Paladin for heavy armor and shield proficiency, completely drop strength (since pact of blade utilizes the Hexblade feature of adding the charisma to attack and damage role of the pact weapon), take 2nd level in Paladin for smite, then spend remaining levels getting to 9th level warlock (fyi, at 11th level, of the 12 you can get, you have 5th level spells with Warlocks, Paladins don’t get 5th level spells until level 17). Now, I know this build has aura of hate in mind, so, if you really want to do this build before you the game over get the mod that lets you take the level cap to 20. There’s another that increases the difficulty of the game by doubling the hit point of the enemies. Lastly, there’s one that increase the exp gain so you can hit level 20 within the three acts and keep the game somewhat fun because the enemies don’t just die when your at level 10 at the beginning of act 2.

[@voigto]

@@renegadeforlife5782 You straight up don't need high level spells though with this build though, better to lean in to what it's good at. By nixing Pala levels you drastically reduce your spell slots available for smites which is where the damage actually comes from, Warlock doesn't get a 3rd slot 'til 11 which you're not going to reach and Pala2 gives you 2 level 1 spell slots which leaves almost no room for Hunter's Mark/Hex, Agathys, Hellish Rebuke etc. Sure you can upcast your smites, but only twice per short rest on a build that wants to hit many times a round. Also personal opinion is 5th level Warlock spells are pretty lacklustre but that's subjective. Oathbreaker7/Warlock4/War Cleric1 gets the best balance of big damage, plenty of spell slots and 4 attacks per round with Haste (same as Lock5 and higher) as well as 3 bonus attacks per short rest from War Cleric. If you don't care about Aura of Hate you can do Vengeance or Ancients for better spells or better defences, respectively. Biggest issue is you don't get selfcast Haste from Vengeance9 but the game gives plenty of potions and you can use items or your party. Also means your concentration is free for Hunter's Mark or Hex. You get 18CHA with Hag's Hair and can hit 20 with one ASI meaning you don't need 3 feats.

[@kathrynck]

@@voigto Yeah, higher level spells aren't always all they're cracked up to be. I have a 6 tempest cleric / 6 storm sorcerer, and at level 12 I exclusively use call lightning and lightning bolt for attacks, along with lightning charges, create water, etc (the "spark" gear). Anyway, point being, upcasting lightning bolt or call lightning feels every bit as strong. And being a pure caster the spell slots to upcast are there, just not the high level spells themselves. On certain spells, upcasting a great spell can trump a higher level spell which isn't upcast.

[@Birbucifer]

nah, optimal smiting pallock is always gonna paladin 2/warlock X

[@SinKieran]

To further improve this build. Half Orc for 3 dmg die on Crits passive. Helmet: I'd swap for the Helmet of Grit from Cazzadors Palace, It gives you a permanent bonus action as long as you are on 50% HP. (And honestly, by the time you reach A3 your main character is killing 5+ enemies per turn anyways so no fight ever lasts long enough for you to take dmg... I wiped out Raphael on Tactician in a single turn using only 2/4 party members) Cloak: Obviously Durge cloak If ur Durge, otherwise Cloak of the Weave for the +2 spell Attack Rolls and other nice stuff. Chest: the one ya got is solid enough. But you could go for Bhaalist Armour which makes all enemies within 3m vulnerable to Piercing, and then you swap your weapon for a Piercing wep instead of Greatsword. Good Piercing weps to go for: Orins dagger + Gloves: The 23str gloves are really solid. But Bonespike Gloves ignore resistance to Slashing/Bludgeoning/Piercing. And the +18 Dex +1 Attack gloves is also a better option, since you can always just use Giants Hill pots for 27 Strength. If you just respec a companion you do not use into Alchemy wizard for 2x Flasks per Craft + buy out Vendors inbetween each level up you can have enough Gian Potions to last entire Playthrough for permanent 27 Str. So taking the +18 Dex +1 Attack + using Potions means you can drop Dex & Str to 8, and add even more points into Charisma, Constitution, Wisdom & Int. Boots: I would recommend the Helldusk boots.

[@TylorP123]

what level would you consider swapping from the pure pally to this? and how is oath of veng vs oathbreaker

[@yohark_sam]

That's a great build mate! I think though there might be a very cool variation of that: In this one I take Oath of Vengeance and I do not break it because this gives me "VOW OF ENMITY" that you can selfcast (I don't know if this is intended) and gain 10 turns of Advantage on EVERY single enemy (or allies lol). This compensates the Weapon Master -5 on ATK rolls so well and just for a mere Bonus Action. And this resets on short rest. Moreover it does not require concentration so you can actually take Hex from Warlock (cast the Cons one as a lot of your attacks have Cons saving throws) and spam that on biggest foes for another d6 of necrotic damage. Also, when you use the Gith legendary weapon you can get from Voss, you can bring with you the device that sets surrounding beings in a state of immense joy, giving you some advantages on throws but also Vulnerability to Psy damage for another 2d6 Psy damage on every attack (4d6 on a crit lol). -> Don't forget to send the device to camp before any massive Giths or Mind Flayers encouter because they will deal double Psy damage to your party as well. [NOTE]: You can lack of damage against Physical damage resistant foes, there is an oil called Oil of Sharpness if I remember correctly. It allows you to ignore these resistances for 10turns costing a Bonus Action to cast on you weapon. [NOTE]: For the ones who prefer Oathbreaker, you can easily break it in act III by swearing to Gortash that you will help him (Paladin exclusive dialogue option). [RANDOM NOTES]: - Nere's boots can be a brilliant option to make sure you stand still and you get Misty Steps for this mobility issue. - Until you get your hands on Baldurian's Helm, go for the one you get from killing Forge of Adamantine boss: No crit can be dealt to you, resistance to Fire (magic and non-magic sources) AND Hunter's Mark which is a nice placeholder when you don't have access to Hex yet. - Ketheric's Body Armor is super nice for the passive you get, -2 damage from ALL SOURCES and 19 AC. - There is a ring that gives you +3m mobility which is nice if you want more of that. Bonus for those who would like to go super high in damage numbers -> There is an amulet called Amulet of Branding that applies a physical Vulnerability of your choice for the next instance of damage taken. This is a Bonus Action and resets on short rest. You can get to 120 total damage or so with a crit when applying this in addition to Hex and all the above items.

This is cool and all, but I have to ask. Once you've gotten all these items to complete your build, what's left besides the final battle? The toughest battle in my experience is the end of the house of hope, if you do that last then sure, go wild with your fully maxed out build, but by that point you've basically won the game in my mind. Maybe in the future for build videos just focus on your level distribution and equipment from the first two acts as the base of the build and worry about the super broken items you get in act 3 as an after thought.

[@WOLigma]

Yea the items are a bit too optimized for general play, dammon has a chest piece and I think the armor merchant in the city has hands of the master gauntlets both of which are great for paladin. Not to mention the black gaurd gear is thematically sound for the Oathbreaker. Paladin has a lot of good options early in act 3 to play around with, and some great act 2 options as well

[@davidcrawford5324]

Sound advice. Nobody is going to concern themselves with these items that were showcased while they are still leveling up and progressing through earlier points in the game. That being said, I know there are loads of elitists who love to min/max and like to know what their BIS gear will be for their build, so although your advice is sound, there IS a desire and demand for content like this also

Just my opinion but I recommend to do your first playthrough without looking for some "best" builds. Larian designed the game without a need to min-max. You can easily complete the game just by your own way of playing and build. A huge part of the game is that u just dont know how hard an encouter really is to make your dialog choices more important. For your 2nd playthrough u can go full ham or 3rd or even 4th. PS: love your videos Khraze.

[@vaidazx12]

I agree. My builds are suboptimal, I think I missed some good items, but I still steamroll most combat encounters ( I play on normal difficulty)

[@Spr1ggan87]

I disagree, these best builds save you a lot of headaches, trying to come up my own stuff i made a paladin/barbarian and it turned out to be dogshit because you don't get the benefits of rage/frenzy with heavy armour, and using rage/frenzy prevents you casting spells or using smites. Now i could continue spending hours messing around with things or i could just use one of these builds and actually play the game. A big problem with this game imho is that melee classes are trash compared to casters, to the point that to make melee good or try to get them up to par with casters you have to multiclass into caster classes.

[@XBossLuffyX]

I would also add being too strong can kinda ruin certain encounter, it might have been bugged cause it was during early access but I did too much dmg to the hag in act one and killed her before I could get the dialog for the hair

​@Spr1ggan87 I'm in act 2 with a pure berserker karlack and she does more single target dmg than my caster do, and since she's a zariel teifling she gets a couple smiles per short / long rest so I use those first then use frenzy, and you can still do paladin barbarian, just use medium armor, I currently have her at 18ac 20 if I cast the shield spell from shadowheart on her, you gotta just be mindful of sernergies, but if it's easier and more fun for you to follow a build then go for it

This build is only for respec, not for playtrough from the beginning. So if I wanted to start the game, I would start with warlock up to lvl 5 and with 8 strength, but 10-12 INT, because there are a lot of INT rolls if you want to talk and react to the world. Paladin with such low strength would be really, really bad, but it works well for warlock. The game is not only about the fights, so having an incredibly fighting focused build is not as fun to play in overall. More rounded stats work better IMO. You won't get as strong hits, but you will have more fun with interaction with the environment.

Wait until act 3 to oathbreak. If you get Hags hair, then you can only use it once. What I mean is that if you use it, then the +1 will be gone if you respec again. And you can’t respec until you get your oath back if you become an oathbreaker. So, save hag hair and use it act 3. Respec at level 12 to be oath of devotion, go kill someone in Rivington. Now you’re an oathbreaker. Now make your build for the rest of the game and use hag hair at that point.
