I recently found your youtube channel and have been binge watching all your videos, then I realized that your last video was 9 months ago 😭 dude! You gotta come back and make your freaking good content!
Christmas-lite is almost here! To skip the 3 minute long rant about critical strike chance (I swear I didn’t mean to make it that long): 7:53 Also: www.strawpoll.me/14400567 I’ll see you in the next one.
Voted Shut Up because I very very very rarely watch twitch. BUT a lot of youtubers decide to go on twitch and uploads the VODs to youtube. Either in full length or cut in parts (parts better i.m.o as the full stream can be viewed on twitch if one likes to bench it for 3 hours)
Started a 2 character playthrough recently and decked my elf out exactly as you did in this guide, flesh sacrifice truly is the gift that keeps on giving my enemies a hard time.
WITS: Just wanted to add a few things here. It is good and nice to have pure damage output, but there is a few things that you have to take into the calculation. The opertunity to CC before they are able to attack. a 4v4 can turn into a 4v3 and change the fight totally.
Yea, that "Everyone gets a turn anyways" argument makes zero sense, especially on Tactician. Most reliable Honour Builds have high Wits for a reason. Why would you wanna risk getting CC'd when you can guarantee CC'ing the enemy by starting first.
I love how you got into the mechanics of the game and what to and not to do to min/max. Alot of builds ive seen dont go into the small min/max details like you did. GJ
Arrow Storm is good Arrow Spray can be good, if used as a shotgun skill on large enemies (hit with 80%+ of the arrows on the same target) Far Sight is a joke.
10:57 I really enjoyed my executioner huntsman on my first playthrough, was just so satisfying to finish off enemy after enemy from high up while dealing massive crit dmg.
I'm in desperate need of your comeback... you drop these great videos, tbh If the case is that you play other games these days I would like to see that. Just give me anything with puns senpai!!
I'm just now playing this game with a friend of mine & we are running a lone wolf playthrough. I must say Apotheosis veil > Time Warp > Daggers drawn > Skin Graft > [ Crazy ability ] is amazing.
Waow just started the game and lookedfor builds found your vids, stoped playing the game to watch your videos, you got to make a comeback whit thouse dank puns.
I actually use the lizards fire breath as a zoning tool for when I don’t want enemies to get close to me because enemies tend to avoid walking on fire.
You could really cheese the game with summoning, sneak and assassinate. Not time prefficient but it's an option. Basically have your ranger or whoever you want to cheese with, make their move but leave over at least 1 AP so you can run. Have a character with summon (who is not in the fight), summon a creature outside of the fight and make the creature attack someone to join in on the fight. Now go back to your 1 AP ranger and make them run (there's a talent that allows you to run at anypoint in the fight). Come back, sneak, assassinate, finish the summons move, attack some more with your ranger but leave over 1 AP and repeat the cycle.
wits is important for finding secrets as well. You can drink potions for a few more points when needed but you kinda have to at least have some points in it.
There's also the "Hehehe imma sneak attack u, kill 1, then go to stealth, then kill 1 more, then gtfo, then return and do the same until ur all dead" build
I went with Ifan as a ranger during my first playthrough, and it was awful. However, once I took your advice and spec'd him in summoning, I started having a lot of fun! Summon-Da-Rangement build ftw!
Yes, I see your math on wits vs finesse for damage, but let me raise you this: Bold of you to assume everyone gets a turn. lone wolf talent, elf. Be the buff boyo(fortify/frost armor/haste/evasion/regen/first aid/LoTE/etc)on the charisma person talking to a potential(more than likely) combat encounter. Preparing the battlefield pre-emptively, summoning your dude, completely buffing him with whatever element you prefer (#bloods), then starting combat using the talker. Now your archer goes *first* a majority of the time (first opponent who outsped me was alice, and ended the game with 67 initiative due to maxed wits and armor buffs, which I dont remember anything outspeeding me at that point) allowing them to set themselves up, flesh sacrifice, bloody arrows, adrenaline, maybe a ballistic shot due to how OP it is, skin graft, adrenaline, flesh sacrifice. Haste yourself, and that combined with flesh sacrifice will allow you to actually have ap the next turn. Do what you want, and finish the turn with a chameleon cloak. Pair this with a crit chance bow/crossbow, and your dps is amazing, even at 50% crit chance. Having used your entire first turn to probably kill 1-2 enemies, with which I love Execution over The Pawn for that 1 extra shot, if not at least knocking them down with knockdown arrows. THEN YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR INCARNATE FULLY BUFFED TO ALSO DO KNOCKDOWNS. Really combines well with my Dagger/Shield tank that suffers in damage (the backstab crits help loads) but is great in CC. This was how I got my way through Tactical Honour mode. Pretty versatile, can be used for any situation, really, even the random fights you usually outspeed the enemies allowing you to create some protectionary countermeasures. Stats were something like 14(2)str, 40(20)fin, 10(0)con, 20(5)int, 40(20)mem, 40(20)wits without gear and with gear, and certain choices raising finesse and wits well into the 50's and 60's. Melee build also had its fair share of buffs etc, but she was mainly the support with at least 1(=2LW) point in every skill, focusing on summoning (maxed with armor bonuses on top), ranged, scoundrel, and warfare in that order while he worked on CC until she could start picking off the enemies one at a time. Edit: I should note that this build was VERY glass cannon. You needed to play VERY carefully. Constitution was a dump stat for it, and I chose to give up con for wits, as well as flesh sacrifice taking more and more con as you level. If you do not CC properly, or evade trouble properly, *you will die*.
the thing about criting is its actually better to get more damage on that one hit if it means you get the kill that hit. Think in pokemon flamethrower vs fire blast
I'm excited to get home, roll an elf ranger or play Sebille, and try this out. I've been playing as the Red Prince as a wizard. My party is wizard, enchanter, knight, rogue. And the rogue has been doing the most damage I think.
Interesting, I know Summoning is a statless skill, so I usually just pump CON and drop a Totem and some support skills every turn. The totem is 2 AP per turn, so with Incarnate, that's 2 AP left over on Turn 2. With Totem spam CON summoner, it's super derpy but it gets the job done, and Geo/Hydro shields don't scale off of INT anyway. Pure ranger with 10 Warfare early is pretty deadly. Adrenaline, Tactical Retreat, Cloak And Dagger. Teleport + Nether Swap isn't out of the question. But yeah, the fact that Summoning only needs one skill, 0 attributes, 2 action points per short battle(!!!), and 10 skill points makes it a pretty good second major specialization here. The skill point split between Warfare/Summoning stings though. Soul Wolf doesn't seem that good, but I've never actually played Summoner Ifan so maybe I'm ignorant. Can vouch for Blood Sacrifice as in the video, 100%.
Hawkeye (or whatever it's called) is pretty handy to have for that little bit of extra range, especially when combined with ballistic shot. That's it though. It's the only useful source spell.
Ifan does get the best cross bow in the game if you do his quest in Fort Joy. This is provided you play on PC and mod your game to level up your equipment. So do Lone Wolf pick Ifan as your second to get his bow from the undead trader outside of Fort Joy. That part about that word i dare not say from the East was honestly funny.
My Sebill was going turn 1 all the time, outside of the scripted shit, and she was a ranger. She had scoundrel instead of warfare. That was working well, being able to cc anyone.
I found this channel a year ago... and I'm back because nobody lays down the facts stats and laughs quite as good as you 🤣 For real tho, come back. Pls. I'd love seeing your content on all sorts of games
quackstack, i did your play style on accident. also, i think the 3 AP cost of entangle really drives home why playing as elf is better. i use flesh sacrafice to use my escape ability, then use the extra ap for entangle next turn. literally no reason not to play elf ranger, especially since they arent skyrim elves.
1% crit chance does not actually mean you get 1 proc every 100 or you'll proc it in 100 attacks maximum. 1% crit chance mean in every attack there is a 1 in a 100 chance that you proc the crit. It's like every time you attack you dice a roll with 100 sides with only 1 side leading to your reward.
Wits increases critical chance, not damage so your 1 in 100 changes to Wits in 100 plus if you grab Ranged instead of warfare you get 5% damage boost and 1% extra critical chance. Making warfare less effective. My current build dropped huntsman to the min I needed to get the skills I wanted, dropped warfare all together, and just went straight Ranged. I have over a 50% critical chance so it is better than a coin flip I will crit, and on tactician mode I can normally kill 1 enemy and hit the second fairly hard

No clue if you're still reading comments but your content was a winner and is much needed, pls come back bb!
I recently found your youtube channel and have been binge watching all your videos, then I realized that your last video was 9 months ago 😭 dude! You gotta come back and make your freaking good content!
Your rant was absolutely fantastic, it helped a lot in understanding how Warfare interacts with your attributes.
Christmas-lite is almost here!
To skip the 3 minute long rant about critical strike chance (I swear I didn’t mean to make it that long): 7:53
Also: www.strawpoll.me/14400567
I’ll see you in the next one.
So you like Edups too...

I liked the rant part. Detailed and you got your point across to the one paying attention at that part (at least I hope so :s).
haha very funy guy
rip this channel
Started a 2 character playthrough recently and decked my elf out exactly as you did in this guide, flesh sacrifice truly is the gift that keeps on giving my enemies a hard time.
For those who are a bit late to the party, the source skill with 15 arrows is awesome at point blank range
Wait, you recommend an elf and THEN change his name to Ifan ben-Mezd? xD
yeah such bullshit right. i noticed that too.
Elfan Ben-Mezd
WHERE'D YOU GO QUACKSTACK??
WITS: Just wanted to add a few things here. It is good and nice to have pure damage output, but there is a few things that you have to take into the calculation. The opertunity to CC before they are able to attack. a 4v4 can turn into a 4v3 and change the fight totally.

Here i am, re-watching every video this fella made, 7 times a week. Please return!
No more videos :( feelsbadman
This way to talk about divinity is gold thank you. Great advice and funny. Your effort with the warfare vs finesse was lit. Thats dedication man
For those who don't know, Ifan is a Welsh name and the f in Ifan is pronounced as a v. E-van
Arrow Storm is good
Arrow Spray can be good, if used as a shotgun skill on large enemies (hit with 80%+ of the arrows on the same target)
Far Sight is a joke.
If you can aim that fucking inconsistent Arrow Spray, I swear to god that shitty hit detection is out to get me.
Waiting with immense anticipation for your BG3 class guides
not even a minute in the video and already more puns, than I need for a week :D
ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY PUNS!!
hey quackstack, hope you still come back one day. we miss you
10:57 I really enjoyed my executioner huntsman on my first playthrough, was just so satisfying to finish off enemy after enemy from high up while dealing massive crit dmg.
0:48 good you put a pause after that, otherwise I'd had to pause myself
Man... I just got into Dos2 and these guides are hilarious. Wish I was here when you were mate. Hope all is well.
thank u for all your divinity videos!! they’re rlly nice to watch as i play thru the game for the first time :>
In my experience, combining stench with glass Cannon makes this build really good in a full party.
Idk if you come back and look at these comments but this is one of the best guides ive seen on a video. Comedy and straight facts
When you find a great TH-camr and see their last upload was a year ago
*ohno*
I'm in desperate need of your comeback... you drop these great videos, tbh If the case is that you play other games these days I would like to see that. Just give me anything with puns senpai!!
Really miss you dude, you made some phenomenal content that was witty and hilarious. Hopefully you can find time to come and make us laugh again!
I'm just now playing this game with a friend of mine & we are running a lone wolf playthrough. I must say Apotheosis veil > Time Warp > Daggers drawn > Skin Graft > [ Crazy ability ] is amazing.
Don't give up on us dad. You're the chosen one.
Waow just started the game and lookedfor builds found your vids, stoped playing the game to watch your videos, you got to make a comeback whit thouse dank puns.
Dunno why but i love all of this channel content
The humor and the quality of editing is just really good.
Hope you come back from the dead bro
Love your content, mate. You're probably the most naturally humorous person I've seen on YT so far.
"I'll see you in the next one" :,(
I actually use the lizards fire breath as a zoning tool for when I don’t want enemies to get close to me because enemies tend to avoid walking on fire.
Please correct this if I'm taken by mistake, but the critical multiplier is applied to ALL final damage, not just to the bonus damage.
You could really cheese the game with summoning, sneak and assassinate. Not time prefficient but it's an option.
Basically have your ranger or whoever you want to cheese with, make their move but leave over at least 1 AP so you can run.

Come back, sneak, assassinate, finish the summons move, attack some more with your ranger but leave over 1 AP and repeat the cycle.
Came for the builds, but stayed for the puns and the math.
WHERE YOU AT BRO???
Chapter11 yeah, it looks like he's a funny TH-camr and the best Divinity original sin 2 build guide maker.. There's so much he could've done
I hope we 'll see you again when the divinity 3 hype beginns, can't wait for your Comeback!
Baldur's Gate 3 first I think ;)
The arrow recovery bit was gold, did not expect that at all subbed immediately.
wits is important for finding secrets as well. You can drink potions for a few more points when needed but you kinda have to at least have some points in it.
Can't wait for you to return man. Content is on point! Hope everything is ok on your end.
this is what my life needed you are like a sunburned albino but for divinty gr8 m8 thank you
Hell yeah. Just got this game and am Gunna run this build on tactican mode!
Just found this channel. I really hope this guy comes back...
Bro you had me laughing so hard. Good shit
There's also the "Hehehe imma sneak attack u, kill 1, then go to stealth, then kill 1 more, then gtfo, then return and do the same until ur all dead" build
The sarcastic humor is on point in this vid perfect
I just found these and they are amazing
I went with Ifan as a ranger during my first playthrough, and it was awful. However, once I took your advice and spec'd him in summoning, I started having a lot of fun! Summon-Da-Rangement build ftw!
Come back quackstack, youve got a gift for this! :D naturally funny is hard to come by these days
nice job man, even here in Brazil you are famous :)
Maycon Barroso Lima Brazil!!!

I came for the dwarf dance, but I stayed for the rest of the video... Wait.
Addendum to your elf ranger song: forget about your worries and your *strafe*
Dude! Where are you? We miss you!
Honeydew is delicious. If you buy one and cut it up yourself, it's great.
Your videos are SO good! Please make more! :D
the thing about criting is its actually better to get more damage on that one hit if it means you get the kill that hit. Think in pokemon flamethrower vs fire blast

13:10 I appreciate it - «Ну, Погоди!»
Papa, please come back...
Loved the elf jokes! Thanks for this! Just started playing DOS2 and I turned Sebille into a Ranger... No regrets so far!
Ifan is my ranger on my monk build
I am interested in his story as well! But I'll probably save his quests for my subsequent playthroughs...
Hey can you please do an updated guide list for every build . I know it's been 5 years but worth the shot . Ty
I'm rewatching your content. Oi, mate. Make more vids. Awesome content.
Dude ur so funny, subscribed! :D
Came here because of auto play, kept watching for the amazing puns, subbed for the practical point of view.
Can someone explain to me the stuff at 2:51 please ?
DON'T STOP DOING YOU MAN
Great D-OS2 vids. How do you record your Gameplay for D-OS2? By chance, do you use OBS?
Subscribing for the comeback
Your puns have won you a subscriber sir! 😂
Thanks for the video. Whats keeping you from making more? I would be interested in BG3 guides
Your commentary is awesome props for the spaceballs reference
Can you do a group build? Love all your guilds, but would love to hear how you would compose your group.
Came for DOS tips, subbed for the puns...
Just wanna let you know that we’re still watching your masterpieces and miss you
Literally subscribed within the first one minute. God damn youre hilarious.
Bruh come back we need you :(
Please Quackstack come back!1!1!!!

Your videos are fantastic.
The puns literally forced me to give you a thumbs up.
Pls do more! Your humor, content and quality editing man! Waiting for more
Came in for the guide stayed for the hilarious puns!

Great videos.Watched all of them,just hope you will come back
Dear god, these puns, i can't...stop...watching.
Just found this video! brilliant.
My Sebill was going turn 1 all the time, outside of the scripted shit, and she was a ranger. She had scoundrel instead of warfare. That was working well, being able to cc anyone.
what is the point of weapons: single hended, bows? etc
is it better to put your points into skills?
X-Mas came early, as did I when I saw this up.
Please come back quackstack I need you
You know its a materpiece of a video when u watched it so many times that u know the script by heart and still u have to laugh at the jokes
I found this channel a year ago... and I'm back because nobody lays down the facts stats and laughs quite as good as you 🤣

I don't know if you've considered doing videos on mods, but there is deffinantly a lot to work with and some more puns to be made.
