They aren’t really builds at level 5 since you don’t have enough to work with. That being said My favorite starting ones though are 1) berserk barbarian. 2 throws at level 3, tavern brawler at level 4, 3 throws at level 5. 2) gloomstalker hunter. 2 weapon fighting at level 2, dread ambusher 3rd attack at level 3 on first turn. Dual hand crossbows of course, but works melee. 3) college of swords bard. 2 weapon fighting (dual hand crossbows) and slashing flourish ranged (2 attacks) for 3 attacks per round at level 3. Be careful since melee flourish is only 1 hit but it cleaves so ranged is better. 4) assassin rogue. If you have experience and know where the fights begin, you can set up so many surprise sneak attacks. So sneak attack, initiative starts and you get your actions back, another attack that guarantees crit because enemy is surprised, enemy skips his turn because again surprise, regular combat starts. To get the surprise condition on an enemy you have to turn on turn based mode, then attack them without them noticing you, they are surprised after that.
you know i guess baldur's gate 3 actually is a perfectly accurate simulation of playing D&D if Grease is the strongest level 1 spell in existence there too
Maybe in other DnD versions, but in 5e tabletop it is probably Tasha's Laughter, since it can cause incapacitated status with a level 1 spell. Grease is only OP in BG3 because of ending the turn for the person
@@FlameHiddenIt’s silvery barbs, it’s the only spell regularly banned at tables, also remember that bg3 is not 5e with Larian allowing multiple leveled spells a turn and other big changes
I swear grease was concentration spell... also, if I remember correctly, in real DND rules if you are prone, it's much less debilitating (you don't end your turn immediately.)
@@quint3ssent1aGrease isn’t a concentration spell in 5e. Prone as a condition is also much less threatening in 5e. The only thing that prone does in 5e is: A prone creature’s only movement option is to crawl, unless it stands up and thereby ends the condition. The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls. An attack roll against the creature has advantage if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature. Otherwise, the attack roll has disadvantage.
for the light cleric build, when you go into the underdark via the goblin camp, just to the right through a lockpick and a secret door is an armour piece that can apply ALOT of radiating orbs, debuffing your enemies. It is very strong even until late game and pretty easy to get.
@@elenalizabeth After you kill Priestess Gut in her room (use Silence to keep her from calling for help), go through into the next room where there's an Ogre (kill her as well), then fully explore that area. Down some stairs and into another room you'll find a puzzle on the floor. Arrange them so there's four dark spots in the circle closest to the entrance, that'll unlock the door at the far end of the room (you can also lockpick a lever on the wall). That will lead you to a ladder down to the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark, which is where, on your right as you enter the hall, there's a locked door to a room containing a locked chest. In the wall next to it is a hidden door (perception check) that you open and you'll find a chest that's trapped and locked and contains the Luminous Armor.
@@freman007 thank you. I guess I know what Shadowhearts new outfit will be now. Though I prefer Karlachs personality, but I don’t know how to change her so she can do that spell (circle of flying guardians?) as that’d be useful in the Shadowlands for her to have.
@@elenalizabethjust select Karlach at camp to control her, make her talk to Withers, ask to change your class, respec how you want (in that case, any cleric, you should also respec Shadowheart, her default cleric domain is kinda trash)
@@TheGrizzlyKnight he kept making fun of how useless miracles are in dark souls for years, but then he promised he would make a "True Miracle Build" back in his "How to make a viable regeneration build" for Dark Souls 3 back in 2017. He never went on to make said build, and people would keep asking him "where is the miracle build old man?" for years and he plays into the meme by either keep making fun of them or alluding to the mythical miracle build that is surely coming. And here it is.
The Storm Sorcery flight thing was something I also discovered naturally - I picked Ritual Caster as my first feat, as long as I’m out of combat I can just keep recasting Speak With Animals to fly infinitely lol Edit: Turns out all that's moot: unlike the tabletop game, any spellcaster can cast ritual spells as rituals, so as the person replying to me pointed out, take Feather Fall at first level and you can fly infinitely outside of combat or turn-based mode lol
@@jaysonburke6839 yeah - but only 4+ times a day. With Ritual Caster or a dip into Warlock, using either your Eldritch Invocation spell or a ritual spell means you are able to fly even if you've used every spell slot. Besides, Featherfall only prevents fall damage, it doesn't allow flight lol
@@anewhero1216 No I mean, a Storm Sorceror can take Featherfall (or Enhanced Jump) at Level 1 and cast them for free since they are also Ritual Spells. This let's you fly as a Bonus Action since they count as Level 1 spells on a Storm Sorc. Featherfall is a nice pick as you may be knocked off of your perch when you fly to high locations. Sorceror doesn't need a Feat or Warlock; they already get Ritual Spells at Level 1.
@@jaysonburke6839 I'll be damned - I just checked by loading up my Sorcerer save and immediately reclassing to pick up Feather Fall, and indeed it is usable as a ritual spell by a Sorcerer. Sorry for doubting you, I was definitely in the headspace that Sorcerer's spellcasting erred closer to how it works in D&D 5e and I wouldn't be capable of casting things as rituals lol
So we had to wait for the Baludr's Gate 3 to finally get that working miracle build. 2242 days have passed, yet it still feels as if it happened just yesterday.
As a Light Cleric/Bard, make sure to take Sleep as one of your spells and to coat your weapons in drow poison. Successful melee attacks against unconscious targets auto-crit, and Inflict Wounds rolls a lot of dice.
I've got 150 hours in this game and made it out of Act 1 once when I was rushing Lathander's Blessing. Build guides are usually useless to me, this video is S-Tier.
@vladkantstein1774Best Souls 2 has many mechanics that were not present in other parts. Too much. The old man has quite a lot of videos about Dark Souls 2 on his channel, watch them all
@vladkantstein1774 Dark Souls 2 is very well known for the different kinds of builds and weird strats that you can do. Limit Breaker got his big break from making these strats. The one that I like the most is the Pain Train where you put bleed and poison on broken long swords and you can spam attacks like crazy since the stamina cost for those attacks are super low.
Very glad you showed off the infinite flight storm sorcerer shenanigans. As soon as I realised rituals didn't take any time to cast I knew that would be a thing but I didn't think about using the free warlock invocations so you can do it even in combat.
I really want to play this game but every video I watch makes it look absolutely terrifying. It's like a credit score application but with lots of anthropomorphic intercourse.
Its super easy if you don't want to get into silly multiclasses. Stick to one class and the options are far less daunting. Spells can be traded out every level as well if you feel like you made a mistake (or for clerics/wizards, you can just say I don't like this anymore give me something else whenever) Plus respeccing to just redo your character is cheap!
It is super easy if you stick to one class and that class is fighter, Eldritch Knight (later respec to champion but that is way later after you get a returning weapon). Throwing build: All you need is a thrown weapon that you bind with EK ability, the throwing ring you buy from the first merchant in the circle, a shield and medium armor, and the feat Tavern Brawler. Enjoy a build that can melee, range, and spellcast that gets 3 attacks at level 11 and has an AC of 22-25 depending on how you build as your progress. Super simple build that can faceroll the game. 1d6+1d4+6+falling object damage (which sometimes also triggers the 1d4 to be added again) at level 4. You can get more damage but this is the simplest way that requires the least thought/planning before every fight. You can go more complicated by downloading the mod that makes sneak attack work properly on thrown weapon attacks and take mix of fighter and rogue levels, selecting assassin for alacrity and sneak attack and a guaranteed crit on unaware targets.
Yeah this video is for more advanced players or at least after you’ve played a basic first run. I’d never played video games (outside of simple ones like animal crossing) and so my friend helped me set it up and set it to easiest mode (explorer) and made my Tav a Druid so I could wildshape if I was low health (and also for healing abilities). I kept it really simple the first playthrough, played it as a “good run”, explored everywhere, found all the loot (became a loot gremlin), helped everyone to get their rewards, killed all the bad guys for their loot, etc. Now I’m on my 3rd playthrough and decided to play “bad guy” this time and also play on custom mode so I can make it harder, and now trying to figure out what I want to multi class build into. Basically for your first playthrough keep it simple, play on explorer mode and just play for fun. Once you get the hang of it then play a harder/custom level and do all the crazy multiclassing exploits you want.
@@ShiningDarknes the original commenter doesn't need to do all that. If you're playing balanced or the easiest mode (story?), most players can get away with just playing whatever they want. hell, for balanced the most broken strats are to have as many summons as possible since action economy is the biggest factor in win vs. lose for most people.
Blood of Lathender is great on the medic build: Lathander's Blessing: Once per Long Rest, when your hit points are reduced to 0, you regain 2~12 hit points. Allies Within 9m also regain 'l ~6 hit points.
It’s good, but you have to choose it over the staff you get from the basement of the arcane tower in the underdark. Which basically gives you an upgraded bless.
I'd like to add that going druid with the torch build is really good because Shillelagh buffs the torches damage and if you go Spore druid you can use Symbiotic Entity for more necrotic damage
I just want to say I appreciate your edits. This was completely worth it even just for the references, memes and lulz. Well done! Thanks for the laughs!
Gotta say, of the plethora of bg3 guide videos you’ve somehow made the most informative, funniest and probably cleanest edited video I’ve seen to date. Easy to follow guide without being longwinded and but still hilarious. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As nobody else has mentioned it I wanted to highlight that I love the use of the Cowboy Bebop intro, song name Tank, as the intro to the Tank build. Beautiful.
I love an early game build guide :D and the presentation is 10/10. You can also help your "Stinky" build with a tiger Barb (lvl 3) in the party making everything bleed. Bleeding enemies have disadvantage on Con saves :+1:
Okay, this is now my favorite BG3 build video on earth. Saved, Bookmarked, downloaded, I never want to lose access to it. A thing of pure beauty, makes restartitis so much less painful.
The PSG section absolutely gives me life. An SM64 rendition of Fallen Angel was not something I knew I needed until now, but my life is much better because of it ❤ Also, cool builds XD It's cool to see Larian sticking to this kind of sandbox gameplay, where there are busted combos to discover around every corner.
This video is informative, hilarious, amazing all around. Love the editing and segments with each build. A lot of hard work was put into this and definitely worth subbing to. I have a ton more to praise but to keeping it short so I’ll remember to comment again later. Happy Holidays🎉
Two weapon fighting + hand crossbow + sharpshooter. Is insane. Add it to rogue thief for double bonus action and sneak attack and then either ranger or fighter base class. Gloom stalker gives you extra attack first round or fighter for triple attack at late levels. Only weakness is immunity to piercing damage
smh disapointed in the torch build, ya gotta go druid for shillelagh (you can swap your primary and secondary right before combat to buff both) and you get full wis bonus for both weapons so it'd be like 1d8+3 + 1d4 twice at level 1, pretty decent
if u want to keep going for the healer build, in the underdark theres an area w fish folk (im forgetting their name atm lol, their area is near the explodey orange mushroom area by the wizard tower) where theres medium armor that will give the wearer disengage for healing :)
You cannot fool me old man. I can hear that Blue Dragon Final Boss OST for the holy hand grenade build. Absolutely amazing choice for the miracle build finally coming to light
If you want the jump build to be able to fight, switch the glaive for the Hamarhraft. I don't exactly know where you get it, but it's quite eraly. Now, when you monk jump without using your bonus action, you get 1d4 thunder damage in an AoE upon landing. Jumping costs 3m movement, so with basic movement+Longstrider (which you should always have), you already have 4d4 thunder damage - unless you have short legs.
This video is great. 99% of those other build videos are basically, “what do I use to kill the final boss”. there’s no point getting altogether a strong build just to kill the boss.
WAIT WAIT WAIT. LIMIT BREAKERS AND BALDUR'S GATE 3 TOGHETER? I thought it was a dream... i clicked the video thinking it was from another chanel i don't know and when the voice of the old man spoke... that was the moment i understand the magnificence of this video.
Personally my favourite "low level" build in 5e is druid 1/monk 1 (in BG3 you can use nature cleric instead of druid, because all we need there is Shillelagh.) Just pump EVERYTHING into Wis and Dex and you are golden. Your AC now works off Dex and Wis, your attack (with shillelagh) now works off Wis as well, you don't need anything else. Wish there was an option to pick a druid cantrip during character creation, like high elves get a wizard cantrip, but oh well.
You can also take Staff of the Crones and Twin Ray of Sickness essentially as a cantrip - if you're also a Fiendlock, you'll get some temp hp on the kill, and also grab the Ring of Poison Rezist so you take less damage.
the jump build glaive can also be replaced with the maul from waukeens rest pair that with 2lvl's in monk and a level in fighter to get the profiency and you can jump around a bunch doing damage
Ah, finally. Feels like this is Old Man's return to form after tech issues disrupted things during the DS2 power hour. Beautiful. And here, at long last, is a legit OP miracle build. It's all comin' together.
JUMP BUILD BONUS: If you grab the Hamarhraft from Waukeen's Rest and toggle the passive, you can cause EVERY JUMP to deal a 1d4 Thunder to enemies near where you land, which with the build would give about ~50 total damage using all jumps on enemies (considering Step of the Wind from 2 Monk spec). You can double down on this playstyle by getting the Moondrop Pendant from the Selunite shrine and keep your health below 50% and you can freely move between enemies
You can change shadowheart to a life domain cleric and add WARDING BOND to her spells. It lasts until long rest, adds +1 to AC, saving throws and resistance to all damage. It does not require concentration so you can add it to shield of faith and still have it during combat if your concentration is broken
There's no point to cast it from an active party member, you can respec someone from the camp or make a hireling cleric. Or several. Unless you expect some constant heavy damage and need to heal your warding bond caster constantly (which usually shouldn't be the case in the early levels).
a variation of the first build, you can go barbarian or monk instead, for unarmored defense to add your Const modifier to your AC, get the bracers of defense for +2 AC when unarmored, the ring of protection from Mol for +1 AC, and the Infernal Robe from mizora for killing karlach for another +1 AC, and equip a shield for another +2 AC, which you can do pretty reasonably by level 3/4, to put your AC at 22 AC, without any extra buffs, for buffs, have a teammate cast shield of faith for another 2 AC all day, for 24 AC, cast mirror image which there are tons of those scrolls laying around or in shops, for 31 AC, for 10 turns which most combats dont last that long, throw in a potion of haste for another +2 ac for 3 rounds(or cast Haste which lasts 10 turns, and you unlock this at level 5), setting your AC with all appropriate buffs to 33, before you ever leave act 1. - Also for the jumping build you can drink a haste potion to take that 46 meters, and double it for 3 turns.
If you REALLY can't get enough jumping, there's a maul called Hamarhraft in the burning manor that deals 1d4 thunder damage to everything around you whenever you land. No check, no save, nothing. With Step of the Wind, you can easily pump out Greatsword-level damage.
My friends talked me into trying BG3 out again after I didn't really gel with it and I'm going for the jump build and its hilarious, I've even found more magical items that increase movement slightly which makes my longest jump cartoonishly long and high. So far though, rather than bonking with a big stick I just shove everyone off of high places for damage and capitalising on that prone status
that healing build is absolutely genius, yet so simple. I guess i'm going to respec shart into paladin now Edit: one way to make it even better, Sanctuary makes your character untouchable, and it's a level 1 Cleric spell. Better yet, it doesn't get lost if you heal someone so you can make your cleric a never-ending one-stop shop for medkits xD
NOW THIS! is how i prefer to play games like this. I cant stand being bored for hours on end waiting for my class to come online at level 10-12. I actually took a huge break from this game because I got so bored of not being able to enjoy it because you have to wait forever to actually enjoy ur toon. Made me just go back to TT.

Finally, a build video that isn't like "put 9 levels into monk and 3 into rogue" or some other build that is only achievable in act 3
Yeah, like no joke legendary gloves that you get by beating the hardest boss in the game are pretty busted.
Why level 9? 4 levels into Monk with Tavern Brawler dominates Act 1.
They aren’t really builds at level 5 since you don’t have enough to work with. That being said My favorite starting ones though are
1) berserk barbarian. 2 throws at level 3, tavern brawler at level 4, 3 throws at level 5.

I love an early game build guide :D and the presentation is 10/10. You can also help your "Stinky" build with a tiger Barb (lvl 3) in the party making everything bleed. Bleeding enemies have disadvantage on Con saves :+1:
Okay, this is now my favorite BG3 build video on earth. Saved, Bookmarked, downloaded, I never want to lose access to it. A thing of pure beauty, makes restartitis so much less painful.
The PSG section absolutely gives me life. An SM64 rendition of Fallen Angel was not something I knew I needed until now, but my life is much better because of it ❤
Also, cool builds XD It's cool to see Larian sticking to this kind of sandbox gameplay, where there are busted combos to discover around every corner.
I wish you did more build guide and stuff like this
this video and your feat in 4 minutes is brilliant, great work my guy
This video is informative, hilarious, amazing all around. Love the editing and segments with each build. A lot of hard work was put into this and definitely worth subbing to.
I have a ton more to praise but to keeping it short so I’ll remember to comment again later.
Happy Holidays🎉
This old man... This crazy old man finally did it. A FUNCTIONAL MIRACLE BUILD, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ITS FINALLY HERE!
I appreciate the FF4 references and limelight. Thank you limitbreakers for acknowledging one of the great classics
The true gate was Baldur all along😔
"Gravity is merely a suggestion." Love it!
Two weapon fighting + hand crossbow + sharpshooter. Is insane. Add it to rogue thief for double bonus action and sneak attack and then either ranger or fighter base class. Gloom stalker gives you extra attack first round or fighter for triple attack at late levels.
Only weakness is immunity to piercing damage
Level 1-4 can be the most difficult parts of a high difficulty run. This video is a godsend.
I forgot this channel existed glad to see a classic banger of a vid again
3 level druid for moonbeam + 1 level cleric for sanctuary and boom immortal for 10rounds + you can use moonbeam when sanctuary even on Honour mode.
smh disapointed in the torch build, ya gotta go druid for shillelagh (you can swap your primary and secondary right before combat to buff both) and you get full wis bonus for both weapons so it'd be like 1d8+3 + 1d4 twice at level 1, pretty decent
That is too much work to do every time you want to fight things.
@@ShiningDarknes if you think 3 clicks is too much work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Memory no good, no think only smash@@eldritchraz
i did a shillelagh salami build as a druid/monk. Lots of fun.
Shilleami is pretty funny@@YourPalKindred
if u want to keep going for the healer build, in the underdark theres an area w fish folk (im forgetting their name atm lol, their area is near the explodey orange mushroom area by the wizard tower) where theres medium armor that will give the wearer disengage for healing :)
Kua Toa
This video is a trip and a half, and the band of light team seared my retinas its so good 😂
souls youtubers are built different, and I love it
You cannot fool me old man. I can hear that Blue Dragon Final Boss OST for the holy hand grenade build. Absolutely amazing choice for the miracle build finally coming to light
I really prefer cool low level shenanigans. It feels like every thing you get matters, whereas there's so much useless stuff at higher levels
I like Miyazaki poison swamp build at the end cause it's the only build that sucks wet farts
You are actively blowing my mind right now and your editing is hilarious while doing it. Instant sub. 👌
TAKE ME FOR A FECKIN RIDE
Gramps always lays out the choons
playing druid you can improve torch tecnique to absurd lvl, Shillelagh can be aplied to both of them making you hit like a truck
The tf2 montage made my day
The production on this is well done very informative and easy to digest because of the added humor can’t wait to see more
The quality of this vid is incredible. I especially loved the PSG Fly segment.
Wait, old man is now a GNOME???
WE'VE BEEN GNOMED, GUYS
The grease thing was so helpful for that halsin portal quest in act 2
Made the hardest mission become goofy
Liked and subbed the nanosecond Sundowners theme started playing
Panty and Stocking music just earned you a subscriber! Jokes aside genuinely funny and enjoyable content! :)
If you want the jump build to be able to fight, switch the glaive for the Hamarhraft. I don't exactly know where you get it, but it's quite eraly. Now, when you monk jump without using your bonus action, you get 1d4 thunder damage in an AoE upon landing. Jumping costs 3m movement, so with basic movement+Longstrider (which you should always have), you already have 4d4 thunder damage - unless you have short legs.
burning building in walkeens rest, the room adjacent to the guy being trapped under a beam, its next to the burning chest! ^^
Wait, could you please explain to me how you got 4d4, and how movement speed affects the amount of thunder damage you do?
@@JoeSmith-st9lc
I think he's saying to use a free jump four times to proc the hammer.
This video is great. 99% of those other build videos are basically, “what do I use to kill the final boss”. there’s no point getting altogether a strong build just to kill the boss.
Amazing editing, especially during the TF2 Medic part, loved it
WAIT WAIT WAIT. LIMIT BREAKERS AND BALDUR'S GATE 3 TOGHETER? I thought it was a dream... i clicked the video thinking it was from another chanel i don't know and when the voice of the old man spoke... that was the moment i understand the magnificence of this video.
The video quality here is immense. The Cowboy Bebop intro was gold.
Bro the fly away build and edits were hilarious thank you
The editing is SO-LID
love it!
Lmfao 😂❤❤❤
Came for the info. Stayed for the comedy. I haven't laughed this hard in ages haha. Just discovered the channel. Thank you!
😎🇦🇺🇨🇰🇳🇿
Incredible that we had to wait until you played one game that' s not a Souls for a faith build
This is super hype. I hope you make even more whacky builds because i definitely have some ideas for playing with friends now
How is this the only good baldurs gate 3 build video on youtube
Personally my favourite "low level" build in 5e is druid 1/monk 1 (in BG3 you can use nature cleric instead of druid, because all we need there is Shillelagh.) Just pump EVERYTHING into Wis and Dex and you are golden. Your AC now works off Dex and Wis, your attack (with shillelagh) now works off Wis as well, you don't need anything else.
Wish there was an option to pick a druid cantrip during character creation, like high elves get a wizard cantrip, but oh well.
that wisdom punch, cleared bg3 without using shillelagh at all, I thought weapons were far much better.. big oof, should've tried that
Monk makes all non-heavy weapons use your Dex for attack and damage rolls though... Why bother focusing around shillelaghs?
apart from whacking things with a stick you can also cast based on wisdom.
You can also take Staff of the Crones and Twin Ray of Sickness essentially as a cantrip - if you're also a Fiendlock, you'll get some temp hp on the kill, and also grab the Ring of Poison Rezist so you take less damage.
the jump build glaive can also be replaced with the maul from waukeens rest
pair that with 2lvl's in monk and a level in fighter to get the profiency and you can jump around a bunch doing damage
Ah, finally. Feels like this is Old Man's return to form after tech issues disrupted things during the DS2 power hour. Beautiful.
And here, at long last, is a legit OP miracle build. It's all comin' together.
I watch this video once everyday, it truly is a masterpiece
Last thing I was expecting was a P&SwG transformation moment, especially followed by a midi of Fallen Angel. Can't wait for the show to return.
The miracle build, it's finally here! 🎉
This is the content I've been searching for. Thank you!
JUMP BUILD BONUS: If you grab the Hamarhraft from Waukeen's Rest and toggle the passive, you can cause EVERY JUMP to deal a 1d4 Thunder to enemies near where you land, which with the build would give about ~50 total damage using all jumps on enemies (considering Step of the Wind from 2 Monk spec). You can double down on this playstyle by getting the Moondrop Pendant from the Selunite shrine and keep your health below 50% and you can freely move between enemies
GREAT work! I'm new and learned a lot. I didn't even realize you could multiclass so early
You can change shadowheart to a life domain cleric and add WARDING BOND to her spells. It lasts until long rest, adds +1 to AC, saving throws and resistance to all damage. It does not require concentration so you can add it to shield of faith and still have it during combat if your concentration is broken
There's no point to cast it from an active party member, you can respec someone from the camp or make a hireling cleric. Or several.
Unless you expect some constant heavy damage and need to heal your warding bond caster constantly (which usually shouldn't be the case in the early levels).
Dude three bg3 videos in and I realise you're that awesome dude that broke dark souls
The tf2 memes were just chef's kiss
This IS by FAR the most funny buildvid ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and this ideas are awesome 😃 Thank you for making my day xD
I had to sub simply for the amount of work that was put into this video. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Absolutely fire!! 🔥🔥🫡💯
a variation of the first build,
you can go barbarian or monk instead, for unarmored defense to add your Const modifier to your AC,
get the bracers of defense for +2 AC when unarmored,
the ring of protection from Mol for +1 AC,
and the Infernal Robe from mizora for killing karlach for another +1 AC,
and equip a shield for another +2 AC,
which you can do pretty reasonably by level 3/4, to put your AC at 22 AC, without any extra buffs,
for buffs,
have a teammate cast shield of faith for another 2 AC all day, for 24 AC,
cast mirror image which there are tons of those scrolls laying around or in shops, for 31 AC, for 10 turns which most combats dont last that long,
throw in a potion of haste for another +2 ac for 3 rounds(or cast Haste which lasts 10 turns, and you unlock this at level 5), setting your AC with all appropriate buffs to 33, before you ever leave act 1.
-
Also for the jumping build you can drink a haste potion to take that 46 meters, and double it for 3 turns.
31:51 this hit me so offguard i couldn't stop laughing the whole time xDDD a realy good video, please keep it up👍
Just got to the gyrmforge with the fly build, gotta say having my friends look over and ask “how the hell did you get there” has been so funny
That medic build is amazing on teams..at least at low level so far. I
I’ve been through Act 1 like 20 times and these builds never occured to me. Act 1 is gonna be even more stupid fun now.
Limit coming with all these big brain builds.
While berserker barbarian like the angry smoothbrain that i am.
I have waited 6 months to finally buy and finish baldur's gate. Now I can finally watch this video
If you REALLY can't get enough jumping, there's a maul called Hamarhraft in the burning manor that deals 1d4 thunder damage to everything around you whenever you land. No check, no save, nothing. With Step of the Wind, you can easily pump out Greatsword-level damage.
Thank you, this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for!
love the final fantasy 4 references lol
The Jack Black "FUCK YOU" over the Fireball incantation was absolutely transcendent
My friends talked me into trying BG3 out again after I didn't really gel with it and I'm going for the jump build and its hilarious, I've even found more magical items that increase movement slightly which makes my longest jump cartoonishly long and high. So far though, rather than bonking with a big stick I just shove everyone off of high places for damage and capitalising on that prone status
bro i love ur content. just so much fun to watch. keep it coming. ur hilarious.
This video is beautiful
Those edits never fail to impress me, the effort just for the memes
FINALLY SOME ACTUAL GODDAMN BG 3 CONTENT
Wow, this is so great; this is insane production value, I freaking love this: insta subbed
Thanks for the early game builds,
that healing build is absolutely genius, yet so simple. I guess i'm going to respec shart into paladin now
Edit: one way to make it even better, Sanctuary makes your character untouchable, and it's a level 1 Cleric spell. Better yet, it doesn't get lost if you heal someone so you can make your cleric a never-ending one-stop shop for medkits xD
Did... did he say miracle build? (clutches chest, falls to ground).
NOW THIS! is how i prefer to play games like this. I cant stand being bored for hours on end waiting for my class to come online at level 10-12. I actually took a huge break from this game because I got so bored of not being able to enjoy it because you have to wait forever to actually enjoy ur toon. Made me just go back to TT.
Feels so weird to see you doing a video of a game that isn't soulsborne related.
Wow, I did not expect myself to subscribe to a new BG3 channel, but here we go.
Dude. This video is amazing! So much effort and good memes. Respect!
