for the lvl4 feat I cannot recommend athlete enough, it allow you to reach 18str and the mobility it offers is amazing, perfect for the shattered flail to be sure you can always hit enemies, no matter how far they are great build ! will definitly be my next run
Bro, I keep starting new campaigns with various builds and team comps when I see these new vids. Why do you keep putting out so many builds? Also, thank you for putting out so many builds :) Loving your work!
Haha double nice!! Now we can really go crazy with the multi attacks! Btw, I can't wait for you to eventually make party synergy compo builds btw. Like I've seen people being super creative with the darkness party builds 😆
I like this format for your videos more crpg bro valeu pelos guide como sempre fera me dando oportunidade de ver o potencial de buildcraft maximo de bg3
This right here. And the way the effects interact means you can lock down enemies with a single cleave. Because the bleed gets applied before the game checks for the wolverine ability. Meaning a single cleave is all you need to just stop every enemy within range in their tracks. It is incredible for battlefield control.
I play fairly old school D&D on paper. There my favorite build is a sorcerer. Maybe when I get to act 3 for the first time, lvl 10 plus I'll figure out a sorcerer spec that feels powerful like the old BG2, never winter and pen and paper. This build is powerful. Especially early game. Finally enjoying combat.
have you considered to use Cloak of Cunning Brume for a more vampiric approach like go near enemy(having 3 lvls in rog/thief for extra action and use hide/disengage as a bonus action) disengage to engulf both yourself and enemy in fog and use the Shadow-Cloaked Ring which has the opposite effect of to the Callous Glow Ring for extra dmg while enemy is obscured. enemy also gets disadvantage due to being blinded and you can remove your blindness with another ring or other item so you get advantage that way just by creating fog. i think there are few other items that provide bonuses to while you or your enemy is obscured so you can go for a more vampire dark fog build that way. this is more for roleplay as a fog changing vampire or you can add the share healt illithid power and wapiras crown for a dark healer build.
Love your builds. I used the Monk, Cleric Tank, Turret Bard, Sorcerer you recommended for my first honor play through. Unfortunately I went Dark Urge and did something that had my whole camp turn on me and kill me. Going to try a new party now. As with the other builds, here are my notes if anyone wants them. There is a lot of re-spec options in the video not listed in the notes. Races: Wood Elf or Wood Half-Elf, Githyanki, Gnome, Half Orc Class: Barbarian Abilities: STR-16 or 17 (if adding hair), DEX-16, CON-14 Skills: Athletics Background Guild Artisan for Insight and Persuasion Level 1, Barbarian Level 2, set reckless attack to not ask every time Level 3, Wildheart- Tiger Heart Level 4, Feat = Dual Wielder, Re-spec into GWM when you find Level 6, Aspect of the Tiger Level 8, ASI STR Level 10 > Fighter with Two-weapon fighting, GWF or Defence Level 12, Champion Head: haste helm, Sarevok's helm Cloak: protection Chest: Luminous Armour, Armour of Agility Hands: Wondrous gloves, Luminous Gloves, Hell dusk Gloves. Feet: Evasive Shoes Neck: Periapt of Wound Closure Rings: Callous Glow ring, Caustic Band, Ring of protection maybe Melee: Shattered Flail, Knife of the Mountain King or Sword of life stealing. Sword of Chaos re-spec Ranged: Bow of Awareness, Dead Shot Elixir: of Bloodlust.
The good thing is that it's an item found very early in the game, so good for reruns. Unfortunately I don't think we can force it... out of Gale after he ate it, hah!
There exists an alternative way to do this, tho you'll be swapping the levels in Fighter for Thief rouge, as well as using the Aspect of the Stalion for extra HP to work with. As well as turning it into a big HP heal.
Such a fun build overall. Idk if I'm gonna try this on my current playthrough as I'm loving my Sorcbard. But maybe I'll respec someone. Already considering changing Laezel to an EK cause of your last build! Speaking of SorcBard and Laezel. Any chance of us getting another Fighter/Mage Gish hybrid? I'm still only 1/3 of the way through, so I'm not sure how good this would be in practice, but a 6/6 sorc swords bard split seems great for casting with metamagic, attacking with extra attack and flourishes, and can synergize well due to arcane acuity. Maybe even stack AC and tank as well with defensive flourish. Idk. I'd love your thoughts on it or just an attempt at another gish in general. They really are the coolest characters and really fit a main character imo!
The sword of chaos have a better trigger than the flail, cause is on hit but doesn't specify "on enemy". If you hit a barrel, a box or whatever you still gain hp
Sorry, It's not clear how you get radiating orb to occur at Act 1. I know the armor, but that just allows it to occur. What spell or item(s) causes the radiant damage so the orb occurs? As you say callous glow ring isn't until Act 2. Thanks much!
Unfortunately, the Regen from Shattered Flail will not proc Whispering Promise nor Hellrider's Pride gloves, it's best to leave them for a Cleric Tank that can also heal allies on demand.
The only thing I did different was take the Gloves of Dexterity (18 Dex ones), and Mighty Cloth (Which ever one gives you Con+2) and respecced him to dump Dex. That way, until you get the better armor, I was at 21AC.
Either the Crusader's Mantle spell from War Domain Cleric, the earliest source at Act 1/level 5 OR most importantly, the Callous Glow Ring starting from Act 2 which is self sustainable!
How did you get the rage dmg bonus and physical resistance while wearing armor? I thought that wearing armor nullifies the bonuses that rage gives you while using it?
Barb/Warlock multi is certainly possible. However, it would be best to focus on STR first, because it takes until level 8 (5 Barb 3 Warlock) to actually apply CHA to Hit & Damage, and I'd rather get the Barb levels first because Cleaves + Extra Attack is really good, besides Rage & Reckless Attack as well. So you can just respec STR into CHA as soon as you hit level 8. The build would actually end up with more Cleaves this way due to 3 Attacks/Action instead of just 2 with Barb/Warlock.
@@cRPGBroyeah the warlock goodies come on late. Although thinking vamipiric touch from warlock would be cool addition for roleplay as Astarion? Still have EB late game if needed for range.
@@stalelygrehoff2881 I'm playing right now and my Pally/Lock is still getting 3 attacks/action. I just did 263 damage to Sarevok with 4 swings (3 from action, 1 from bonus action)
It can work, as you have very stacked abilities even from early levels by virtue of being a Barbarian. You might prefer a race like Gnome for free Advantage on Mental/CC Saves, though.
@@Slugnacious Nuclear Tank, definitely! th-cam.com/video/Gnr-zizPcEw/w-d-xo.html I'd rather go full Cleric however as I don't think the extra + 4 AC from Swords Bard will matter much, it was just for min maxing AC.
Go with Shattered. You're playing Barb so Reckless Attacks will most likely be used meaning you'll get hit a ton anyways making the stacks harder to maintain. I think the heal from shattered will outpace the mitigation from Skin Burster. The healing is also more effective as you are taking half physical damage. If you are in Act 3, there's a greatsword that will likely be the replacement for Shattered so you could try out Skinburster until then.
@@cRPGBro Oh yeah, I love that build. Just wondering which one you thought was better over all. I like that this one can tank any type of damage, not just physical. Side note: level 7 Oath of the Ancients Paladin makes you almost immune to Spells (can just have one in the party, doesn't need to be a 5 Barb/7 Pal or anything).
I'll see what I can do! I think that is a lot easier on Wrath of the Righteous though due to Dhampir race and more classes with magical abilities + martial power at the same time.
Perhaps verifying and repairing the files from Steam could help? I was getting graphical glitches since Patch 4 but doing that fixed 2 files that were apparently corrupted.
yes wonder how you would counter that that debuff seems like it would happen a lot unless you make saving throws for it etc? @crpgbro how do you counter this debuff happening? not possible to hit every round that i have seen so far anyway? :)
@@lorddread22 It's not that bad. It happened to me two or three times my whole playthrough. When combat ends, so does the effect. And when it does happen, he'll attack you just that once. So just end combat and he'll stop (he's not my main)
3:32 Bruh?? Its strange you're too good to say that look at the word of tank... what do you mean how you want to tank them They attack you first?? if you attack first why do you even want Lifesteal skills?? they have to attack you first, then you attack steal their hp and go to max hp while they suffer! Its supposed to be like that! its what tank does They shot at tank nothing happens the tank throws a missle and boom 💥
Again I see the same problem: relying on external factors (gear) for a build. Builds should function regardless, equipment should just enhance it. Example: trivializing Ethel with 4 clerics at lv4 (but this works lv3 onwards) : use silence, surround her, 4 spiritual weapons, action economy wins🤷♂️
The Build can still work just fine without Gear, you'd still have the very spammable AoE Cleaves, Reckless Stance for free Advantage, 50% phys resist from Rage and such. But of course, as far as Lifesteal, gear is required because there's no build that will provide it outside of a few spells, which pale in comparison to Weapon + Cleave spam. The Lifesteal Flail is also found extremely early.

Great to see more thematic builds now that you covered all the overpowered ones. Would love to see more of those unique builds. Keep up the good work
Thank you! More fun builds to come, including Poisoner!
@@cRPGBro I love how people started doing builds around one or two items lol...
Honestly, this is the best. I much prefer unique and fun builds over the cookie cutter max dps ones.
Tell me about dark urge slayer can gear affects his dmg in shapeshift form or any idea around super slayer build @@cRPGBro
I was looking for something with a savage kind of nature for a dark urge playthrough and this seems perfect, thanks!

My favorite part of cRPGs is exactly that, all the fun ways of making new characters 😁
Now this is something fitting for a Durge replay, or unusual respec of Astarion 😉
Certainly befitting a true son of Bhaal!
As for Astarion, he could definitely put on some muscle as a Barb 😁
@@cRPGBro Yeah, he could use some of that
@@Andriej69I gave Astarion 5 levels of vengeance pally and 7 levels in rogue and he's pretty amazing.
@@rustyjones7908 I don't anything can beat Sword Bard with dual crossbows, though
@@Andriej69 If you just need to kill 1 guy I've got a witchbolt build on Gale that pretty much melts anything.
Amazing build as usual
Thank you!
Been wanting to make an all melee team, this will be so helpful!!
Nice! Thankfully Tiger's Bloodlust Cleave will NOT hit allies, only enemies.
Haha double nice!! Now we can really go crazy with the multi attacks! Btw, I can't wait for you to eventually make party synergy compo builds btw. Like I've seen people being super creative with the darkness party builds 😆

I really enjoy your creative twists on pure classes...fighter/barbarian is close enough haha
Oh man you are sleeping on tiger's bloodlust + aspect of the wolverine to maim everyone you hit. The bleed and maim is applied together!
This right here. And the way the effects interact means you can lock down enemies with a single cleave. Because the bleed gets applied before the game checks for the wolverine ability. Meaning a single cleave is all you need to just stop every enemy within range in their tracks. It is incredible for battlefield control.

Always glad to help 😁
oh this one seems funny gonna try it on my Karlach
Love your builds. I used the Monk, Cleric Tank, Turret Bard, Sorcerer you recommended for my first honor play through.

u can use paladin's divine smite when ur character in rage, also double heals using Shattered Flail
Me: I'll try this build immediately
Also me: *remembers I fed Gale the flail....*
The good thing is that it's an item found very early in the game, so good for reruns.
Unfortunately I don't think we can force it... out of Gale after he ate it, hah!
There exists an alternative way to do this, tho you'll be swapping the levels in Fighter for Thief rouge, as well as using the Aspect of the Stalion for extra HP to work with. As well as turning it into a big HP heal.
I'm aching to see an Aspect of the Beast: Chimpanzee build done by you
thank you for the video. appreciate this build

How did you get the rage dmg bonus and physical resistance while wearing armor? I thought that wearing armor nullifies the bonuses that rage gives you while using it?
Only HEAVY Armor!
Hey can you make me a list of weapons/armor for this build I wasn’t able to see or read what I need
you tha goat
Thanks!
how does champion passive work with items that make you crit on a 19 like the offhand sword? does they just cancel each other out?
They all stack thankfully!
ngl you scared me there for a moment there when you said "I don't recommend Alert Perk".
I was like who are you and what did you do to CRPG Bro
It's just that the 3x CHA Mod to damage is too tasty to pass!
Where do you find Periapt of wound closure? I don't remember that necklace.
Frick, I sold shattered flail ages ago and have no idea to whom lol
Watching this right after letting Gale snack on the shattered flail 😭
I was rarely able to stack the enemies that way. A taunt ability would be nice. Another question: 29 AC. How? :-)
I cover the AC sources at 00:11
You can get a few more depending on gear & buffs!
can you make a build with dual wielding paladin with Deva maces i did that and its redicilous but i wonder if you can make it even more powerful
Deva Mace is probably the weapon with biggest on hit damage boost!
how to stacksl illuminating orb ? didn't think you've mentioned it
6 barb (tiger) 6 Monk? Maybe even 3 barb, 3 thief, 6 monk?
The warlock multiclass has my interest for astarion though for role play
5 barb, 5 warlock, 2 fighter might be crazy good?
Barb/Warlock multi is certainly possible.
However, it would be best to focus on STR first, because it takes until level 8 (5 Barb 3 Warlock) to actually apply CHA to Hit & Damage, and I'd rather get the Barb levels first because Cleaves + Extra Attack is really good, besides Rage & Reckless Attack as well.

I was as sober as always! 😁
@@cRPGBroA drunken build would be nice. Not sure if that is another tiger heart or melee Hunter.
Srry, just to confrim, apply bleed does not heal right?
Isn’t the flaming sword the demon drops in the ship usable for this build?
That's a Greatsword, it is usable, especially with Great Weapon Master, however you will not be able to benefit from the Lifesteal 18 HP/Cleave then!
Would this be a good build for a solo tactician playthrough?
It can work, as you have very stacked abilities even from early levels by virtue of being a Barbarian.
You might prefer a race like Gnome for free Advantage on Mental/CC Saves, though.
