I just tested the Elven Elegance elixir which supposedly should give immunity to charm / his Beguiling Rebuke. I still got charmed the 3rd time. I imagine this will get fixed somewhere in the future, hopefully. (edit: Sarevok's helmet* also doesn't give immunity to charm, despite being an emotion? - Karlach's 2nd upgrade, while stating very clearly that it makes her immune to charm, does in fact still get charmed by Raphael... Anyway, GG!
Yeah arrow of many targets is certainly the best AoE action in the game. Its range is massive, it benefits from all the weapon damage modifiers you have, it’s easy to apply piercing vulnerability, and it rolls criticals off the first target onto all the others. It’s still possible to miss some of the targets but in general it’s gonna hit four targets and likewise benefits from the weapon extra attack features.
How does this build compare to the Bard shooter in terms of damage output? What are its advantages over Slashing Flourish? I got so demotivated to think about ranged builds because of how OP Bards are with this stupid ability.
You can't use slayer arrows with slashing flourishes and those double damage. You can't use arrows of many targets either and those have the sharpshooter dmg apply to each separately so you get like 3+ times the damage of a single arrow. Combine this with the improved extra attack + action surge giving you 2 more attacks this is way stronger but also very expensive
@@NoorAgafia why wouldn't you count the improved extra attack? With action surge that's two additional attacks that can do over a hundred dmg each, far outweighing the 10d8/10d10 you get from bardic dice dmg added onto your attacks by burning them all on flourishes. If you mean before lvl 11 then I don't think it's that cut and clear either: you get your second feat (alert probs) at lvl 6 whereas the bard multiclass would usually delay this till lvl 10. If you respec into war cleric 1 / fighter 6 on the next level and you have a nova round of up to 7 attacks each doubled from slayer arrows against things fights like myrkul + shield of faith + con save prof and indomitable to make sure your run doesn't end from a hold person
Yeah, I just looked it up and Beguiling Rebuke does indeed count as a charm (18 wisdom save) and the Elixir of Elven Elegance grants immunity to charm. Thanks!
It's doesn't though , you can take the hands from dolor and present them as your offer. The armor is obtained after killed the flying elephant as sacrifice. Then just buy it from the ghost at the tribunal No other evil acts are necessary.
@@MrODST57 So all you have to do is sacrifice an innocent, a city investigator, to an evil god to become, and I quote, "an unholy assassin of Bhaal"? No, not evil at all!. 🤦♂
@@garyco766 you said "evil playthrough" which means choosing and being evil for the entire playthrough. Sacrificing one innocent soul doesn't make your playthrough an evil playthrough, it's just making one evil choice.
@shell6467 Sorry, but if you've chosen to become "an unholy assassin of Bhaal", its an evil playthrough... or more likely you're just choosing to ignore any RP and choosing whatever options get you the stuff you want. Also, don't Jaheira and Minsc leave your party if you do this? And negative reactions from Karlach and Wyll, and maybe others?
You're sacrificing a dishonest, apathetic and negligent drunkard to avoid having to battle the legendary Sarevok and get closer to Orin for her netherstone so you can get on with saving existence as you know it. That is a decision you can justify in roleplay a gajillion different ways without necessarily being pure evil the entire rest of time.
"In combat, you deal an additional 1d6 Necrotic damage against creatures that haven't taken a turn yet." This effect presumably applies to your ranged attacks
It's from Draconic Elemental Weapon buff by using Drakethroat Glaive. Drop your weapon of choice on the ground, use Drakethroat Glaive to buff that weapon for +1d4 elem & +1 enhancement. Buff lasts until long rest, so rinse and repeat every next day. If you prefer the buff on two weapons for different characters (or for dual wielding), you can make a Sorcerer to twin cast the buff.
@@sintee106you can also drop the two enchanted weapons, give the glaive to a different sorcerer, have them use angelic slumber and then buff an additional two weapons.
Because it takes a lot of careful planning and experimenting to come up with a strategy like this. Honor mode forces you to start to think this way, but players like sin tee just push it to further limits. Personally I find it a lot of fun. There’s no cheese or exploiting in this video at all. Just taking full advantage of the same mechanics that are available to you and I. Everyone is free to enjoy the game however they like.
In 6 seconds of real time…. The doors closed, then re-opened….and then chaos.
Love the gloves + shied burst combo! Also neat strategy using the dwarf potion to avoid the charm-super clever!
This is my favorite Raphael fight on youtube. It really shows the full capabilities of a pure fighter archery build.
Never said this to any build, but this one took an insane amount of prep.
The Warrior Ranged build is and will always be an imbue. The way you demonstrate is a masterpiece!
This probably the best build I have ever seen in the game. Easy and efficient.
What is the build
@@narutouzumaki4701 You can see in the end of the video
we are all waiting for your full run videos XD
Seeing this type of stuff makes me realize just how bad i am at the game
And you still had a couple shots left xd
It would be great to see guides for all these builds

amazing, i still new in this game and figuring out how the buff stack work
bro can attack 2 more time but the fight already over. and this is in honor mode
These arrows ate crazy .. more aoe dmg then a wizzard or sorc but with single target dmg like a gloomstalker

Is it still possible to surprise Raphel with the latest patch? I think invisibility disappears when dialog is triggered now?
Christ bless you, need to see a full run please bro

And I thought getting four attacks out of my barbarian thief was clever
Is the elven elixir not better? It makes you immune to being charmed.

Ah yes the Bhaalist shuffle
hahahaaha this is insane and I love it so much
Damn. you just dumpstered honor mode
Can someone explain to me how to do this?
Unfortunately, every video you see like this seems to involve the Bhaalist armor, which requires evil playthrough.
It's doesn't though , you can take the hands from dolor and present them as your offer. The armor is obtained after killed the flying elephant as sacrifice. Then just buy it from the ghost at the tribunal No other evil acts are necessary.

Can he still use his legendary action while surprised?
For even more bullshit damage you could use Astarion
Or a gloomstalker assassin on a surprise round.
Why use ambusher sword?

Anyone got a lvling guide for this one ? Thx ❤
He posted it now! Its the newest video. Insane build
Where is thunder damage is on the bow coming from?
drakethroat glaive enchantment
It's from Draconic Elemental Weapon buff by using Drakethroat Glaive. Drop your weapon of choice on the ground, use Drakethroat Glaive to buff that weapon for +1d4 elem & +1 enhancement. Buff lasts until long rest, so rinse and repeat every next day.

@@sintee106 YOU CAN TWINCAST IT???? damn learn something new everyday

how is game ever fun if u play it like this

can you something that is not ranger abusing with arrows?
This is not even a ranger build, its 11fighter/1cleric
