Has anyone given any thought to a dark urge barb prone build mixed with dance macabre and summoned ghoul's devour attack??...🍽👹

I'm seeing some real synergy here with your alchemist build. Maiming counts for poison or bleeding. So thief / barb and lock enemies down

WHAT ARE THE BOOTS?!

Ah.. The Eldritch Cheesegrater, always a fun tactic.

I like that your videos actually show the powerful build in action and don't just describe what items to get. Makes it look like a lot of fun.

Love this build. A little funny and a lot of brutality.

I am here from Aestus, thanks for the great video!

Ya know I normally find these long form videos of a build that could be described in a few hundred words kind of annoying, but this was actually very informative on a lot of aspects of the game. I just started playing dnd during covid, so I'm no old timer, and I've had difficulty getting some of the concepts. This game has helped flesh out some of that stuff, but it's this kind of content that really shows how everything can come together. Liked and subscribed!

Running a tiger/wolverine polearm build of this. You get more reach with the cleave. Skinburster weapon which lowers the damage you take and has an AOE effect. Then stack reverberation gear and you can prone enemies with the stacks from reverberation. Running this with a 1wht sorc / Abjuration wiz first build and a land druid with ice/lightning summons. Booal bleed buff and poison on your weapon / poison gear is strong too with this build.

After everything that happens to La’zael I’d be surprised if she didnt become a drunk. Making this a lore friendly build lol

Yooo I was doing some zapping on youtube looking for some cool honour mode builds for my next run and I remembered this cool video I saw some time ago. This shit is insane with reverberation gear!!! Maim and bleed alone are 4 stacks (and bleed is disadvantage on the prone saving throw). Also the mobile feat is spagetti coded and applies a condition to prevent enemies taking opportunity attacks you. That's 6 stacks in 1 attack, making them make a -6 disadvantage save to stay on their foot, or skip the turn. You could even mash this toghether with the drunken-punch bastard of your other build and get the AoE thunder damage for even MOAR reverberation (the problem tho becomes that you need 2 bonus actions to rage and get drunk in the first turn of combat... rogue dip? Maybe) Thanks so much for the inspiration!

"Potion Seller, I'm going into battle and I need your strongest potions."

This is the kind of build diversity barbarians need haha

what feats do you guys use with this build?

Just completed a run with this more or less as the build for Karlach. It turned out so efficient that she rarely ever died or went down, constantly dishing out solid damage and healing.

Spirit Guardians can be saved, so it's reliant on WIS score. Can't bring myself to give up the anti-crit shield which gives enemies debuffs to attack, and my lovely Holy Lance Helm!!! EDIT: Just switched shield lol.... I have warding flare to deal with crits!!!!

Just discovered you could get BOOOAL's benediction without sacrificing a companion if you pickpocket the zealot after initiating dialog and then strike a deal with the fey. Now your entire party has advantage against every maimed enemy BY DEFAULT. Can't believe more people don't talk about this

I honestly think there'sa lot of value to be had from throwing with levels in berzerker barbarian :3

Cant find into anywehre about the shattsddered flail and how it works, do you have to hit them with the flail or can it be any hit?

I know I'm late but please pin this. You can refresh vendors by partial rest as well, which means you don't even need to rest with food to restock their items.

theres a spear that on hit can cause people to have disadvantage on con saves in the goblin camp, can be very helpful when paired with drow poison

If you want to go next-level nuts, pair with a second Wild Heart Barbarian with Eagle Heart with your choice of Animal Aspect (I like Stallion). If you buff your Eagle Heart Barbarian with Enhanced Leap you get a nutter diving down with a range of 27m/90ft to smash people prone, climbing or jumping up somewhere, and doing it again.. and again.. and again. Meanwhile Tiger Heart is bleeding and CCing everyone whilst your backline stands there and lols.

Im gonna use this on my honor playthrough! I am curious what merit you see in other extra attack options instead of fighter though. I was thinking swords bard could be good since flourishes are similar to manuevers and you are more flexible with your action and bonus action while still getting extra attack. Feels like it would be more supporty especially with healing word. And im also thinking gloom stalker might be a powerful choice with all the bonusrs they get on top of the ranger kit.

"Tactics and synergies are what make RPGs fun" i mma spam it

Wow just start experimenting with barbarian builds, and then I found this channel from the Aestus weapon tier list .. Great timing!

As someone who has homebrewed a spellcasting Barbarian, I can confirm that charisma makes sense. Charisma isn’t just your ability to influence others in DnD, it’s also your force of will. That’s why it’s used to resist being possessed by ghosts and such. So a Barbarian simply willing Magic to happen makes sense, when compared to a wizard who uses their knowledge of the arcane or a Druid who uses their understanding of nature.

Hello. Warlock gets an advantage on saving throw on the zaithisk. And if you let laezel goes first, arcana (or warlock and arcana) lets you siphon the power for yourself, otherwise laezel would get the awakened buff

1:17 that's wrong. the awakened buff can be received by any (one) party member be it laezel, your main or one of the other two. I got mine for shadowheart

This is almost identical to how I played my first character. Except i was 5 totem barbarian 7 fiend warlock. To top off the build i had 2 warding bonds up on my allies.

I hybridized this with a berserker barbarian / eldritch knight / thief rogue thrown weapon build I can hit 4 targets in a single turn and now I don’t care if I don’t have awakened since I can still throw my weapon as a bonus action when raging. I also combined this with the ring of combat regeneration and the balduran’s helm for a passive 8 HP per turn. Because I went berserker instead I can put this build on a companion since it wouldn’t need awakened to work.

Inspired me to homebrew a healer barbarian subclass, something like 'path of the penitent' where we damage ourselves and transfer that as healing to allies

woop woop! as per patch 4 hunt out the spineshudder amulet!

how do you use psionic oveload as a bonus action?

That is wonderfully put together man

I guess I should stop killing Lady Esther every play through.

I'm always Clueless on the feats can anybody help me?

I think lae zel has the awakened buff on at least 2 playthroughs, she also makes the saves but that being a dc 18 and het having low wis and not asking for guidance or other buffs or drinking any potions ofc she s gonna fail most of the times

Okay, that's it I have found the basis of my build for when I'll run the game as karlach

Does Aspect of the Stallion use Barb level or character level to determine the amount healed?

I did not know that magic missile triggered the callous glow ring. Really cool concept. Excellent build idea. I took inspiration from this and tweaked around as I was playing. When I was playing with this, I found myself relying a lot more on magic missile as compared to most of the cleric spells, atleast for offensive purposes. With the callous glow ring + the psychic spark amulet, magic missile was doing as much damage on average as guiding bolt while being guaranteed and debuffing the enemy, so ultimately decided to dump cleric and go evocation wizard. With 2 tempest cleric and 10 evoker wizard you can do it all basically. I use most similar items, but pair the luminous gloves + callous glow + coruscation ring with boots of stormy clamour and the cold brim hat. Now my magic missile is inflicting radiating orb, reverberation and encrusted with frost, which is just amazing from a battlefield control perspective since reverberation and encrusted with frost both debuff dex saves, allowing for spells like chain lightning to hit very consistently, even without a ridiculous spell save dc via arcane acuity gear. Additionally, reverberation has a chance to knock enemies prone (guarantees advantage for melee attackers + slows enemies down since they have to spend movement to get back up (pairs excellently with frightened, maimed and frozen conditions as you highlighted in one of your other videos). Encrusted with frost also has a chance to cause frozen which furthers the synergy, especially if other party members are using bludgeoning or force damage (frozen causes vulnerability to force, thunder and bludgeoning damage, and so pairs excellently with EB warlocks, magic missile wizards (which you are), monks, or tempest clerics (which you also are)). Thank you for the video and excited to see what other flavorful builds you come up with. Your videos have been very inciteful in understanding the build and item synergies.

i love this build but i have to pass on this i really hate the horse dck clubs 🤣

This is absolutely nutty! I love it.

Broodmother's Revenge amulet for extra deeps (:

that's very clever, barbarian is officially better than cleric at efficient healing. Does sword of chaos work with this build?

One of the best things about using Tiger's Bloodlust on all your builds is that they're retroactively compatible. I'm on my third playthrough and guiding new to the game friends with a Cleric Barbarian that heals using illithid powers on his bonus action while debuffing/cc-ing swaths of enemies all thanks to your videos

Super interesting!! I came up with the goofiest throwing build using a weapon bound salami on a fighter chimp barb to blind enemies and not waste all my camp supplies …the salami doesn’t break when thrown like other camp supplies and applies the blinded condition at range until the START of the enemy turn(bummer) If you have the time and gold you could pact the weapon and respec since it maintains on your person until long rest allowing you to further go into thief etc… You’d get your extra attack and the two bonus actions And if you don’t you could technically get all the above by going chimp barb 6+thief rogue 3 + eld knight fighter

Ooooor, you could go Berserker Barbarian and stock up on healing potions. Healing is generally only useful during combat to get people up. This is because healing is only worth it if you can outheal the damage. And a raging Berserker can, at level 5, throw 3 healing potions per turn. Which will be an aoe heal so you can get multiple people. And on top of the fact they take half physical damage, if they're next to the target of the heal they will be healing themselves as well.

Act 2 item spoilers below btw: Huge thanks for making this video …with your help I decided to make a barb and see what I could figure out and what I found surprised me! The flawed helldusk gloves paired with the elk stampede charge ability somehow has a chance to apply bleed to anyone affected by the 9m straight line aoe. This got me thinking and I found out that proccing both maim,bleed, and prone in the same turn is powerful indeed. You could off hand the slicing sword so the ones that are prone and not maimed can be maimed because of adv on prone targets Lastly the goofy interaction of tavern brawler with the elk charge…the feat adds str bonus to the hit chance of your elk charge but dmg is not increased Pair this with the knife of the under mountain king and you have a higher chance to proc a crit elk charge granting a 2d4 +str instead of the usual 1d4 Flawed Helldusk Gloves are a rare pair of gloves that grant 1d4 Fire damage to weapon attacks. Unarmed attacks deal an additional 1d4 Necrotic damage and have a chance to inflict Bleeding.

In prior editions, Charisma was always the spellcasting stat for spell-like abilities. That's the most likely reason it's the fallback for non-caster spellcasting. In 5e, normally items that have saves have predefined values for them, while scrolls can only be used by classes that could actually cast that spell normally (so they'd have the appropriate modifier for it.) BG3 changed that so more classes could make use of more magic items, and they'd scale better, since fixed DCs fall off hard.

Band of mystic scoundrell + helmet of arcane acuity on a sword bard is completely broken.
