[@Maettzle]

10:16 I can't fathom that you'd equip Killer's Sweetheart to this build. It's one single guaranteed crit per Long Rest. On a build that already crits a lot. This is a 99% wasted slot, which should be reserved for heavy hitters with no crit setup. Love the rest of the guide, tho :)

[@jakstheoneandonly]

What would you suggest instead?

[@taintwasher3703]

If you completely miss an attack, you can use it to guarantee a crit which is a hit you wouldn't have otherwise

[@logan9042]

I personally haven't found much need for killers sweetheart. Especially if you take elithid powers. That being said I think I would also swap the birthright for sarevoks helm. You could also swap the bow for the dead shot and give another bonus to crit. That's obviously not as good as haste but I try not to use it much myself as it trivializes most encounters.

[@Maettzle]

@@jakstheoneandonly Me as of Act 2, I have the Ring of Arcane Synergy equipped, so he can deal some proper weapon damage as a Opportunity attack reaction when an enemy passes him. But I'm sure there are better options by Act 2. Maybe use even just ones that give resistances or certain spells.

[@younggreg6155]

​@@jakstheoneandonlyI would say go for the calous Glow Ring instead. It gives your eldritch an extra 1-2 radiating damage per shot. As a side note, in my testing the executioner skill doesn't seem to work with spells at the moment.

[@RockDeviI]

Crit machine gun looks like a great build, one change I made is this; You don't need dual wielder to have 2 weapons. Since you don't actually attack with the weapons (why would you? Eldritch blast is king) you don't need dual wielder at all. There's also a pair of gloves that gives you the option to turn any spell into a touch range spell ignoring the melee range disadvantage which would work great in eliminating the need for smacking people with weapons.

[@pancake8180]

Weapons help with stats

[@theapologist6717]

I just checked and this isn't true. It won't let you equip both. (Which you want to do for the bonus abilities they give you) I suspect the mistake comes from the KUK being a shortsword, not a Dagger

[@DanielEmp]

I would argue that the best feat for any caster is alert - it is an A tier feat in tabletop as well, but in BG3 it is easily top3. It practically guarantess that you go first, because they changed the init die to a d4. You also cannot lose turn to ambush (though that rarely occurs anyway). An extra turn every combat > any boost provided by other feats. You can always put down your darkness or cover your enemy with hunger of hadar before they get a chance to move.

[@playboxerino]

Another great Build Video but I do think it would be great if you could have written steps for what to take at each level or have a more followable stucture to the video with some timestamps. Loving all the guides, helps me enjoy BG3 so much more, thank you for the content!

[@Rich_Rulez]

The written instructions from patreon are exactly the same..

[@GrrumpyPants]

If you reeeaaallly wanted to, you can run fighter 2/warlock 2/sorcerer 5/thief 3 to get a second bonus action. This lets you quicken twice to get 15 eldritch blasts in a single turn. You do lose out on a feat doing this, and with barely any sorcery points you won't be able to do this very often, but 15 beams in one turn is cool. IIRC there's also an item that lets you add an extra beam to one of these casts, letting you get up to 16 beams in one turn.

[@timv5203]

I'm probably the last to know this, but you can use Shield of Devotion from Act II to farm infinite sorcery points. Every time you toggle equip the shield, you get another level 1 slot to convert. That might change how far you want to level into Sorcerer, if the main reason is for spell slots to convert.

[@davidjacobsen308]

Totally agree with you as Eldrich blast uses force damage which is like hitting an enemy with a hammer. Very few enemies have resistances to force damage, unlike the elemental damage types. Its why I prefer wizard over sorcerer as a wizard can change his spells if enemies all have resistance to fire. But a warlock eldrich blasting multiclass is just lethal in all scenarios. Just my experience so far :)

[@Nyxesgaming]

Or just pick elemental adept to ignore resistances 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@acdcguy18]

Pretty neat build (only watched the machine gun one). I think if you would have explained the choices level by level, it would have been much easier to follow. I'm saying this because you were explaining gear then made an abrupt jump to ability scores back to gear. There may be more examples but that was the big one that stuck in my head.

[@ThePudin124]

Well i think these were not exactly build guides, just like a quick overview of some warlock builds to check which one was the best.

[@Polarthief]

The build seems great overall, but I just have to disagree with the Fighter 2. Action Surge is nice, but outside of the Shortsword Proficiency (which you can get from a racial bonus instead), I don't feel it's really necessary when you weren't using any armors for the build itself. Nice to level with until you get the stuff you want, but then the levels in Fighter feel wasted. Level 9 in Sorc gives you Level 5 spells and more sorc points. 3rd Level in Warlock gets you Level 2 slots over Level 1 and your Pact Boon; another level gives you a second Feat to choose and a third invocation (very very nice to get for Devil's Sight, Beguiling Influence for +2 skills, or anything else you may want). I can't help but feel in the long run, you get more out of the extra Warlock and/or Sorc levels than mostly just Action Surge (which, yes it's good, but kinda overrated as far as MC builds go). Starting with Sorc, you'd still get the all-important Con save proficiency and MCing into Warlock still gives Light Armor and Simple Weapons prof. For the Undermountain King Shortsword, you can pick up a race that gives proficiency with it: Elf (never a bad choice), Drow (also nice), or Githyanki (which also gives Medium Armor Prof and a slew of other really good things, some have even called the race OP). Just to really hammer the point home though, I want to give credit where it's due: While I've written nearly a paragraph of disagreeing with the Fighter 2 in the MC build, the overall build is still solid and either way, you will be destroying things. 👍 You just always need to consider the opportunity cost of things: "Is Action Surge really worth losing Level 5 Sorc spells, Pact Boon, Level 2 Short Rest slots, a potential other feat, more Sorc points, etc?" Personally, I say no. PS: Nizer, keep making these build videos for BG3, they're very enjoyable!

[@ocirosouza]

Did you know why he respect, and take psct of the blade instead pact of the chain?

[@Polarthief]

@@ocirosouza That wasn't in the video, though yes you could also do that to gain proficiency with the weapon, though I feel it's probably better to pick up Chain and just play an Elf/Drow/Gith.

[@vague2718]

[@GhostWriter520]

And don't the Haste spell and Potion of Speed currently stack? That plus Elixir of Bloodlust should give plenty of additional attacks

[@JustinP-ct2ov]

Once I heard this dudes accent I knew this was going to be legit info. Appreciate the work my man.

[@xoxotoonvideos]

Hey Nizar, actually you can only cast 2 metamagic quickened spells, as they cost 3 sorcery points when applied. So with haste there are 2 stable AP (6 eldritch blasts), and 1 for action surge (each short rest). Sorcery points, however, refresh each long rest, so it's not 9 attacks each turn)

[@achilles8804]

You can turn your spell slots into sorcery points so the 3 points per quickened isn’t as bad as you think when you don’t care about your slots and only more eldritch blasts

[@yuujin8194]

Great builds, loved the guide. One thing I would change is that I wouldn't use the spellcrux amulet as the necklace. Not because it's not good but because you can just equip it out of combat, use it's effect to recover a spell slot, and then re-equip whatever damage oriented necklace would best suit this build

[@Iilah-ah]

[@jameskelsea6048]

great build. Another variant on this that I am trying is Rogue Warlock Assassin. 10 Rogue Assassian / 2 warlock. In my testing so far, sneak attack damage is added to each beam that hits a different target, which is +5d6 piercing damage at rogue level 9. Using potions of speed and elixir of blood lust for the extra actions (they both work at same time). Being a Rogue you can pickpocket most everyone so arrows, potions, scrolls are essentially unlimited. Thief is great too (even better early game when EB is only one beam), but assassin allows you to auto crit a lot of enemies before combat starts. I remember the sneak attack damage also doubling on a crit. I have also noticed that my +CHAR modifier also gets added to the sneak attack dice, so +5d6 + 7 with 24 CHAR. Insane burst damage. Requires a bit more tactical maneuvering and stealth, but that's what is fun about a Rouge anyway. For times when you need cc spells, just pop a scroll. Does require you to choose only 2 invocations (AB & devils sight until the eversight ring, then respec for repelling blast), but you get a 3rd feat. ASI +2 CHAR, Spell Sniper (Shocking grasp) Can be a bit of a one trick pony though and some spells that are better if upcasted like hold person are not as good from scrolls.

[@Sigthin]

Kind sir, how is it possible to have 24 CHA? I thought it is only possible to have 24 STR because of potion in act 2, everything else should be 22 using mirror in act 3, or not?

[@davidmills1520]

[@jameskelsea6048]

[@whoisj]

Bard 1/Warlock 5/Paladin 6 is the best RP and melee combatant. push CHA to 22 is insane with Pact of the Blade. It's basically a melee god

[@DavionAngeles]

People are really sleeping on a single level dip into Rogue. You can sneak attack 3 beams on 3 different targets before combat, as long as you don't set your reaction to ask, they will all trigger sneak attack. You can STILL sneak attack with EB inside combat, except only 1 of the 3 instances. You can triple dip on adding your CHA modifier to cantrips, AND proc sneak attack once per turn. Which can easily be done by threaten an enemy by being in melee range or Risky Ring. Level 5 Lock/Sorc get Scaling Cantrips: Your damaging cantrips gain an additional damage die. The optimal warlock blaster caster (IMHO) is easily 6 sorcerer / 5 warlock / 1 rogue. All the fireballs, all the hastes and best bits of sorcerer all the sustained damage of warlock and all the extra damage from sneak attack. Note the Numerous spells can proc sneak, like Ice Knife, Scorching Ray, Chromatic Orb, and most cantrips. Since Sneak works on cantrips and they get increased, WE DO NOT NEED TO FOCUS ON EB, so using the Necklace of Elemental Augmentation greatly increases the damage potential. The amulet is amazing it also applies it’s bonus damage to your spell sneak attack damage allowing you to double dip for damage. No other amulet comes close to the value of this one for this build. Cantrips will hit like a truck. STALKER GLOVES - Skullduggery Attack: Your Sneak Attack deals an additional 1d4 damage. This is another reason we take a level dip into Rogue fir sneak attack. Stalker Gloves are God tier gloves for this build specifically, that is because the sneak attack bonus damage is considered a damage rider and a separate damage source like sneak attack. This means that the d4 you roll will also add the damage from other gear such as Markoheshkir’s “Kereska’s Ferver” and the Necklace of Elemental Augmentation to each instance of damage. That’s not a d4 of bonus damage, that’s a d4+9 with only those 2 other gear pieces. Your damage is ungodly, but you will be a glass cannon without the fighter level. Sneak Attack, Crit, Elemental Affinity, now that's a lot of damage.

[@common_undead]

sneak attacks proccing off of spells is clearly a bug and not intended behaviour. Patch 3 generally broke sneak attacks since you can get sneak attacks off even from throwing non-finesse weapons like the legendary trident or dwarven thrower.

[@Nyxesgaming]

@@common_undeadsneak attacks with spells is indeed intended hence arcane trickster. As for throwing weapons I dont see the problem. Throwing something at someone who isnt aware is a sneak attack.

[@common_undead]

@@Nyxesgaming No innate arcane trickster ability allows you to sneak attack with a spell attack roll, in BG3 or in tabletop. Sneak attacks are only meant to work with "finesse weapons", as the description states. A warhammer is not a finesse weapon. A spell is not a finesse weapon. Regardless, got patched out in patch 4, so I know that it was a bug.

[@Nyxesgaming]

@@common_undead logically if you were to throw magic at someone who wasnt expecting it that would indeed be a sneak attack. So its dumb that a stealth mage isnt a thing. Whats the point of a fantasy world if you cant do cool stuff like that? The more I learn about dnd the more I like it but the more I see non sensical shit like no stealth mage. Just weird imo.

[@m.h.1443]

Yeah take the Markoheshkir buff urself once per longrest and you get a free chainlightning and even more electric charges. Also you can twin cast that chainlightning. I oneshotet the dragon in the end fight with this combo... the buff even extends if you swap weapons so you can just use it as a buff stick.

[@TheSolarium18]

I think it’s definitely a 7 paladin/5 Warlock pakt of the blade with great weapon master, great weapon fighting and the ring which guaranties a critical hit after a kill and the amulet which gives you an additional 2nd level spellslot and all gear which improves your chances dor critical hits then make him an oathbreaker for aura of hate for additional 5dmg per attack You have 3 guaranteed attacks, 6 with haste then you can add a 7th attack with great weapon master you have 2 lvl3 spellslots and 4 lvl 2 spellslots and 4lvl1 spellslots and aura of protection if you smite every attack you can easily kill every enemy in the game in one turn

[@chrom992]

This, with arcane synergy (from diadem) for also +5 dmg, you have lvl 3 slot every short rest plus lower level for utilities. And if you want more bulky you can go for duelist + shield

So 3 EB/. 3 action, 3 hasted action, 3 bonus action, 3 action surge, (and the thing you forgot: 3 bloodlust potion) so thats 15 once per short rest as long as you have sorcery points😉 Setting up with darkness+devils sight, 15 blasts at advantage, thats gonna maim some folks

When is the Bard build coming?

[@bullywags397]

I still think 10 levels of sorcerer lightning dragon with 2 levels of great old one warlock is the best sorlock build as then have a lot more spell slots and metamagic points. At level 12 with this setup I can easily have up to 22 metamagic points and level 4 and 5 spells as well. I would definitely use the Markoheshkir staff in act 3 over the spellsparkler as not only get lightning charges but level 5 lightning and level 6 chain-lightning spells as well. You also missed out on the reverberation gear for making targets prone with fear. It also helps having a party member who can cast water for the lightning spells (more damage), so perhaps storm sorcerer is better for a solo build. PS. I would say the most OP build in BG3 is the paladin due to the gear and buffs one gets for a paladin, ie 23 strength, 23 constitution, 20 charisma, and a legendary great weapon.

Perfect timing, my warlock was following your first build and is at level 6 lol

[@davidklausen1316]

I propose a different machine gun sorlock: the sneaky machine gun sorlock. 2 fighter, 2 warlock, 3 rogue, 5 sorcerer. - Fighter for heavy armor, shield and action surge. - Rogue for extra bonus action. - Warlock and sorc for the same reasons as the machine gun sorlock. - Use haste spell for extra action, or celestial haste later on. - Elixir of bloodlust on top for 1 extra action on kill per turn. - For a 3rd bonus action every turn, use helmet of grit if you're really good at avoiding damage and can comfortably sit below 50% hp. Pyroquickness hat don't mix well with haste because it causes fire damage to you which can break concentration. - Use heavy armor, mirror image, darkness and other ways to minimize the probability of getting hit to not break concentration on haste. - Use items and elixirs to give extra spellslots/restore spell slots and convert these to sorcery points. You can easily walk around with a fuckton of sorcery points and still have enough lvl 2-3 spells losts available to cast all the spells you need in combat. Takes a bit of fiddling about outside of combat, but most of the time you don't even need it so it's only for challenging fights. - Ilithid powers use bonus actions, so those works great when you have so many bonus actions to spare. You lose lvl 4 spells and some spell slots by ditching the 3 levels of sorc, but you still have more than enough spell slots for any single encounter, and level 4 spells are quite underwhelming compared to level 3 spells so it's a small loss. High level spells can also easily be accessed via scrolls for the few times you might actually need them. When using mostly eldricht blast for dps, you have more than enough spell slots for sorcery points without even using tricks like making sorcery points from spell slots you regen with swappable items like spellcrux amulet or pearl of power amulet, or arcane cultivation elixirs. With this build and pyroquickness hat you get 3 bonus actions per turn. With haste you get 2 actions every turn, with the risk of a big downside if your concentration breaks, which almost never happen if you take some simple precautions to prevent breaking concentration. Also, Celestial haste has no downside. Hands down S tier level item. When using action surge on top of haste and bloodlust elixir, you have 4 actions and 3 bonus actions, meaning this build can sqeeze out 7 fireballs in a single turn, or a scorching ray/fireball and 6 casts of eldricht blast, meaning you can cast 22 individual rays in a single turn.

How does the 10 Evo Wizard and 2 Warlock work? With empowered evocation, portent robe and spellmight glove you do 3 eldritch blast each dealing 1d8+1d10+int mod+2x cha mod force damage. Since the haste action for spellcasting isn't nerfed in honor mode atm you can also do 6 shots each turn. Going 18 in int and cha gives you an average output of 63 force damage per EB cast without including ANY damage riders from gears and other effects.

Watching on mute with captions cause work, how is the leveling of the multiclass build, is it a slow start too, does it require a lot of respecs along the way an patience before it gets good? It looks amazing on paper but lots of these multiclass builds that I've tried were not fun till very late game. Just curious. Ty, great video.

[@NizarGG]

I'd recommend doing it post level 7, multiclassing early levels is usually not a great experience as you're spreading your levels too thin and missing out on early game power.

[@Erik-tf5kr]

Thank you again for this amazing video! I enjoy playing your builds very much! I've heard you mention the Lore Bard in several of your video's. Do you have plans for a build video on that class? I'd very much like to see one.

[@pawpixel278]

same!

[@mridulsanghavi5769]

for the multi class build- what about the dead shot weapon? its a bow that gives you almost the same crit buff as the knife of the undermountain king, if we use that cant we get a better buff from a feat instead of having to go dual weilding and then give the knife to someone else maybe? how does that sound

[@prohanya]

use both, crit bow and crit shortsword

[@reyclorox]

I was thinking about shadow monk, lore bard, pure warlock and moon druid for team composition on honor mode, how do you think it would perform?

[@Unh0lySpectre]

Whelp, played durge and Alfira is a corpse at my camp. Any other good robes for sorlock in a durge run where you didn't know you had to cheese for the robes?

[@jamesstratton857]

Do you have to start as a fighter? Or can you start as a worlock and then multiclass in to fighter?

[@smarttags2625]

I'd start as warlock get to like level 6 then start this build he as a starter build to use before this 1

[@SecretWebiste]

Would have been lovely to point out that if you're playing with friends, that the warlock needs to talk to the NPC for the spellsparkler staff, otherwise it's lost. That's whats happened to me and now the whole build is useless 😅

[@ssss-tt2ec]

13:31 Actually I didnt want to see this lol :S

[@tianrunzhang6557]

Looking for a melee warlock build. Should I be sticking to pact of the blade pure warlock or multiclass with fighter?

[@Hikaru.the.Warrior]

Thank you for your builds. I used every single one in all my play throughs 🎉❤

[@Hikaru.the.Warrior]

@TeLE_geamNizarGGofficial what is it?

[@pawpixel278]

yay! have been waiting for this! hehe

[@Zeghola]

Using Killer's Sweetheart ring on either build would be wasted, as executioner doesn't proc on spell attack rolls but only on weapon attack rolls.

[@atmos929]

How about going 3 lvls of Fighter to get Champion subclass to further reduce critical hit by 1?

[@ckirk7317]

I personally forego taking Fighter levels all together, I prefer Warlock2/Sorc10 for higher casting levels. But if I did take Fighter levels I would certainly go ahead and take the third level for the Champion subclass. There's really no reason not too as the difference between Sorcerer levels 7 and 8 isn't that great.

[@NizarGG]

Champion is great too, personally I went for the second feat as I got spell sniper which essentially boils down to the same passive as you get with champion (so the outcome is the same) but you also additionally get a cantrip for free. Maybe in that case if you really want to stack as much crit chance as possible, 4 fighter 6 sorc 2 warlock would be the best play and you still would get 2 feats + Champion. I forgot what they're called but there is also a helmet and a bow in the game that increases your crit chance even more, so you could really play around that theme if you want to stack as much crit as possible. Gotta say however with the setup shown in the video I do consistently crit already, so not sure if it would be overkill.

[@adgroux]

Unfortunately I missed the potent robe in moonrise

[@dudeofstuff]

could you give the crit blaster build deadshot or even sarevok's helm to stack more crit chance?

[@AstroireNovels]

TL:DR - Pick White dragon (ice) ancestry. Cast in sequence Ice storm, hunger of hadar, cloud of daggers, fireball (on the melted water for steam), witchbolt (to electrify steam + water for double combo). Sorc 7 Warlock 5 I tried your build but i went with White dragon ancestry and it gave me a few glaring advantages. - First off you get a free armour of Agathys saving 1 spell choice - All your ice spells are buffed (and i hope this includes the hunger of hadar?) - get chromatic orb (or you can actually get ice knife, witchbolt and fireball) and this lets you capitalise on doing a electrified steam + electrified water for constant damage x2) - You get ice storm which does a large area of ice ground making your enemies slip and you can hold them within your cloud of daggers skill - once the ice melted into water, throw in a witchbolt / chromatic orb to turn the water electric OR cast fireball + witchbolt for the electrified steam + electric water. Step back and watch as your foes die by 2x electricity + cloud of daggers

[@Trifizzy92]

What level do you start respeccing and reclassing?

[@phillypb4165]

I took Joltshooter over Spellsparkler. Is there an alternative weapon that would work well?

[@brycekilkenny4623]

How are you equipping the spellsparkler and the knife of the undermountain when they both aren't light?

[@111rapton]

duel wield feat allow you to use any weapon that's not 2 handed

[@joeljokivuori1059]

did he say at anypoint the subclass for warlock???, fiend, goo, fey? origin characters get more stuff than tavs so maybe wyll would work for this? since he can get infernal rapier and a good piece of clothing right at the start if you dont particularly need karlach for youb honour mode party

[@JetSe77er]

Is the Fighter multiclass with it for the occasional Action Surge? I think not.

[@robinwesterbeeke1498]

Can you explain why you’re running Birthright? Aren’t you capped at 22 with it? If you go 17 CHA, +1 Hag, + 2 AI and + Mirror, aren’t you already at the cap and the helm would do nothing?

[@MzKyloRen]

If you stay full warlock as I already have a sorcerer does the gear change? A lot of these builds use the same gear.

[@sebastianeichhorst9477]

Are there good alternatives for the Potent Robe and the Darkfire Shortbow? My Tieflings are all dead 😅

[@jacquesthuet6414]

Why not use The Dead Shot as bow to improve even further the crits?

[@Zennsunni]

So do the electric charges work with the eldritch blast

[@RM_3D]

How can you max out charisma if you arent getting the ability score? will this work with a companion that doesn't have access to the hag and other stat boosting gear

[@anteeantee8144]

which race would be best for the warlock/sorc/figher build?

[@christophersanchez2658]

What do you guys suggest for an alternative for the Knife of the undermountain King, My ranger/rogue already called dibs lol

[@eugloopydilemma]

Does the dual wielder feat actually do anything for this build besides the +1 to AC ? Do you actually need it to get the bonuses from both spellsparker and undermountain ?

[@theapologist6717]

It just lets you equip both. That's it, not even a +1 AC... I don't think that's apart of the feat Think about it like the feat is just all the abilities the KUK gives you.

[@maximummcnugget36]

What would be some act 1-2 gear alternatives?

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

Has anyone tried to test of the Draconic Bloodline level 6 "Elemental Affinity: Damage" helps the sparkler staff? I know it's not technically an electric spell but it is an electric effect while casting a spell.

[@ae_alex]

Love these builds. Given the way equipment is limited, do you think it's feasible to have two characters run both of these builds in one campaign?

[@leila13dnd]

I would personally say no, since they both rely on the spell sparkler and having two blasters is usually not needed, but if you're comfortable with the game and not playing honour mode or something you should probably be fine.

[@vidcap2169]

Hey so I really enjoy your videos, but when it comes to the gear part (and he’s not the only one who does this, a lot of bg3 CC do this too) you don’t explain on where to get this stuff, made a whole gear list, now sitting in the near end of act 3 and realizing that the potent robes are only available near the end of act 2, now trying to rummage through my travelers chest trying to find a robe for wyll. I’m not saying change your format or anything like that, but maybe just a quick, “you can get *blank* as a quest reward after *blank*.” A sentence or two would help a lot, especially for newer players.

[@vidcap2169]

And fyi, he does explain on where to get gear in SOME of his videos, not all. He did a great job on the monk video and in the cleric bard video, (at least in that one he explained on which act you can pick up the pieces of gear in that one.) but either way why do that in some but not all?

[@ocirosouza]

Hey bro, can you do a duelist bardlock build? :D

[@moonvioletkel]

Would love a bard build if you are still making BG3 build videos!!

[@MikeLuong]

I've been using this build on a couple different play throughs in tactician mode (re-specing Wyll). The downside to this build is if you are in a combat situations, most of my opponents (especially ranged attacks) all target this character due to the low AC and often times this character is down by the 2nd turn. Any suggestions?

[@christiankougher3285]

You'd cut some damage, but -equipping better armor helps -you could use warding bond -keep them very far from combat (eb has the range) -attack from high ground when possible Changing the armor would mess you up the most damage wise but might also be the most effective way to keep them up

[@ckirk7317]

Good build but I prefer to forego Fighter levels for more Sorcerer. Weapon and armor proficiency is not needed as you still gain the effect of Undermountain King without being proficient in shortsword and Action Surge is kinda over-rated in my opinion(at least with level cap of 12 and compared to gaining higher caster level). Edit* If I did go Fighter I would go ahead and go 3 levels for Champion.

[@toshman696969]

why wouldn't you get war caster earlier like lvl 8? curious

[@dorkyinnewyorky]

Is the gear the same for pure warlock and crit machine or…

[@krieg_guardsman9548]

Is there an alternative to the spell sparkler? Iv dropped mine and I have no idea where

[@MuhamadFauzanAzhim-c6x]

bg3 content on top. and can we get paladin for the next build please, thank you

[@Leon-ns3gu]

Not gonna lie, the first guide was kinda better, this one is also good but a bit confusing for a new player like me, its not scripted per lvl, and actually I havent got what to skill at lvl 7,8 etc. Maybe someone can help me?
