mic sounds real good this video in my opinion you nailed the settings
I definitely watched the whole video already and this comment has nothing to do with the algorithm.
Just messaged a buddy "hey, wanna run a duo"?
Then opened YT and I see "uploaded 1 minute ago".
Guess what build I'm gonna run now. Lol
Sweet mother of beautiful audio balance ❤️ it sounds fabulous!
Mic this video is better than previous ones, thanks as always for the guide!
Your builds always come in clutch!
I was just thinking of making a sorcadin and having no idea how, this is perfect timing
Just a random internet opinion, but I think you've surpassed Spud the King and many others, and you're right up there with Italian Spartacus as the best BG3 build channel. Thumbs up.
Ceph is much better than Spud imo. He just knows way more about the game and takes a lot more into consideration. I honestly find his videos very complete. The videos are not clickbaity in the least bit and he refuses to make cheeky statements like “THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY CHANGE HOW YOU PLAY!!!” Instead he opts for giving the players many ways to play the same thing while discussing the strengths and weaknesses.
@@CMiY0 Of course. But Spud is fun for beginners. I will always subscribe to that channel, just for the hilarity!
Even better than spartacus imo, since ceph is capable of mentioning githyanki without making the same stupid joke about them being crackheads every time
@@J.Tarrou Sparticus wrote that Act 3 guide though... man, I've sent that to so many newbies who ask me how to handle BG... total lifesaver of my time. ;)
Personally, Ceph and Aestus RPG are hands down the best and most well informed content creators for this game. Sparticus is a vibe but he's evidently very casual about his guides and not very prescriptive, Spud is way too clickbaity. Nizar is decent, but it's evident that his thing is learning stuff from the reddit buildmakers or content creators like Ceph and Aestus and then making interesting clickbaity videos "inspired" from there.
Found your channel lately and I love it
Love your build an party guides! Hoping for a Durge build coming soon.
Great video as always from the man who makes the best builds on the internet
OOooh smooth mic, love the settings you have for this one!
I finished my first run. I will use your guides for sure, whenever I get to start the next one. Thank you for the awesome builds and guides!
Algorithm boost
Algoooo boost
Another reason the mystic scoundrel band is the goat. Thanks for the video, your videos have been a go to while I mow the yard this summer. 🍻
Hey man i love your videos. They always inspire me to try new things. Ive recently got into modding and wonder if you will ever do any videos on mods yourself. Thanks for the quality and passion you put into your content!
mic sounds much better here than in the last video, whatever changes you made definitely worked
always a good vid when true strike is involved
Time too try this out!
Great vid.
This character basically got me through honor mode, though I did a slightly different split and with two handed weapons
Very good build, might use this with Minthara in my next playthrough.
Was precisely looking for another party face after I tried your excellent Bard/Warlock build !
I'd love to see a build focusing around Illithd Powers (would fit well after the tierlist), so a very "late-game" build.
Watched. Learned. Going to play a campaign with my son. He hasn't played much, good chance I suggest this for him. Thank you.
Nice build. I am in love with 4paladin/8 swords bard. I may try this later and see how I like it.
I enjoy your videos ❤
Thanks very much!
I saw an article recently I think you'd find interesting, where the devs for the new D&D ruleset set to come out in September mentioned some of the changes they were planning, and how those changes were inspired by Baldur's Gate 3. One of them was that they were going to make Cloud of Daggers more like Moonbeam in that you can move it on your turn if you want, which will make it just so much better than it already is.
absolutely loving the honour mode builds! only downside is the amount of time i'm now spending in the respec screen instead of playing 😆
I've never tried sorcerer but love paladins. Ill definitely try this. Many thanks
Algoooo boost
Not sure if you have already but if not you could do a fun "mystery tier list", spoiler tag it, and rank the all the different allies for the last fight!
Okay, now that I've heard about heightened spell, I REALLY want to see a crowd control build. Preferably one that trivializes most encounters.
Because the best fights are one sided.
I had no idea that ritual spells still triggered Tempestuous Magic...that sealed it, I'm starting a Halfling Durge Sorcadin run using this guide!
Thanks for the Vid, as always very inspiring to start a new run :D
Regarding your new Mic: It sounds like it has always some kind of noise as soon as you talk + your voice reverbs like in an empty meeting room
Always looking forward to your BG3 guides :)
Definitely better and distinctly better when you start discussing skill selection
Great with the new mic..
A couple of things regarding items:
1. Arcane synergy circlet is best in slot for any gish, this is no exception. With mirror bonuses it will end up being something like +5 dmg on a helmet slot, can't beat that with anything else.
2. Bhaalist armor + Duelist sword is your highest damage output setup.
3. Most important item for this build is the Potion of angelic reprieve (make sure you stack 100+ of them before going for Nishtsong because otherwise you will hear the phrase "savage little warrior" waaaaay too much to keep your sanity). You can dump all of your lvl 1-2 slots into metamagic, drink potion, repeat multiple times, then turn sorcery points back into arbitrarily many lvl 4 slots and have an upcasted smite for every single one of your attacks in every single fight. It's beyond stupid, and the main reason why you would want to build this instead of swords bard.
For 1., I do really like Mask of Soul Perception late game if I know that missing would be really bad. Though I admit this is with not using Storm giant pots as a 'house rule', so if I always had the increased hit anyway then that circlet would never leave. :D Although the helm in the video is also good if you just want CC.
My second playthrough was a sorcadin, based on a tabletop character idea. It was a very fun experience, love having the bigger spell slots for BIG smites or more sorcery points to quicken more spells or generate more smite slots.
He did it 🎉 I had built my Minthara sorcadin way differently and I wasn’t too happy with how she was performing but I’ll give this a tru
oh yay my favorite multiclass ever ^_^
Sound is really good this time and was a little hollow last video so I think you're dialing it in pretty well.
hi cephalo! the microphone is sounding way better. the video itself does seem to have low framerate
Hey, how about a playable race/subrace tierlist sometime. If you want to. Thanks.
I like Pali 2, swords bard 5, blade pact 5.
As a great party face and MC how does it compare to Swordbard ?
Thanks for the content !
I built an aspect of Alduin from Skyrim for my evil non-durge run, and went with a similar combo. The differences being that I started the game as a vengeance paladin to represent his might and divine mission as a world ending dragon that was once worshiped by an ancient dragon cult as a god. And upon my first level up I took a level of draconic bloodline sorcerer to take up spells that I felt best represented the shouts. He later became an oathbreaker when he killed Kahga in order to avenge Arabella's death.
Do you think you could do a build based on using the dark urge?
3:00 Holy crap, BG3 lets you cast ritual spells in combat without expending a spell slot? I thought it was like regular D&D where you could only cast for free outside combat but this is crazy 🤪
No, you were right. Casting a ritual spell during turn-based mode consumes a spell slot. You can't cast a ritual spell for free during combat.
Isn't Protection bugged? It only triggers when both the character and the ally getting attacked has a shield equipped.
Wow!
Dont tell me this is because I asked a few hours ago on another video of yours where this guide is since you mentioned it there and it wasn't to be found! 😅😅
I'm curious why you never seem to recommend half orc as a race, even on builds focused around critical hits like your blender rouge vid. Is the extra die just generally not worth it?
Half orc is pretty good for paladins thanks to a bug where the half orc feature adds an extra smite die in addition to the extra weapon die that it's supposed to add - for rogues it's less powerful because it only adds 1d4 (or 1d6) damage per crit, which is fine but not very exciting.
Mostly I find it a bit annoying how relentless endurance doesn't work in BG3 because damage is all applied in seperate instances, so rather than saving you from one attack it saves you from one *part* of one attack, then you die to any rider damage. Tbh that probably biases me against them unfairly :P
Cool
Great build! What do you think of a pure ancients dex paladin? The support abilities I have are awesome, but any tips on maximizing damage?
Savage attacker feat
Idk if you've done this yet or not but Swarlockadin?
Just wanna note that using a ritual spell to reposition yourself still uses a spell slot in combat, might as well do some damage or cc.
I love doing this with one less either sorc/pal level for monk 1 instead. Just for dex pole weapons. I fully agree that dex Ancients is cool and also feels right, especially if you're an elf or half-elf, but I really like that motif of a spear wielder or quarterstaff GWF paladin, so I take the sacrifice. :D I also like having that kick bonus action, but like i said it's 100% flavour as well as dialogue. It's definitely not going to be as manysided at being this swiss army knife you've laid out.
monk 1 on dex based paladins/fighters is honestly really fun and very good, it can make your fights much smoother especially for characters without natural bonus action attacks!
new ceph vid dropped and it wasn't that weird 2d game go go go
My main problem with pala auras is how small their range is. You have to stay in horrible 3m bauble in melee range for it to work on your party.
Not BG3, but I really look forward to how the charisma classes will come together in the new dnd release later this year. Seems like it'll be even easier to mix and match.
I always heard about Sorcadin but haven’t really ever considered it’s impact much. Looking through the video and holy heck this thing is unreal. It’s so so strong, it has virtually no real weaknesses and can spam burst damage very easily. 2/10 bardadin might be the “meta” option for pally but this build is much harder to kill. I feel like this build is a relatively easy honor mode solo once you explore your way past level 6.
I thought sorcadin is pronounced with hard k, I heard someone say it like that, surely it's not my inner voice, right?
I've heard both, and both make sense if you think about it. Hard K makes sense if you read the word as written, but taking into consideration how "sorcerer" is pronounced, you could say it anyhow
I'm just about to make this build. I would like to ask why not going for 8-4 so be able to take 3 feats and have the same amount off spell slots
Could you make a website or archive of written versions of your builds? I tend to pick some builds at the start of a playthrough and having to check back every level up or so gets to be really tedious especially when usually 4+, 20+ minute videos are relevant to the playthrough. As a side benefit of written guides you could change things more easily if the game gets updated or something like that. I know you have a lot of builds though so it would be a lot of work so I get it if you would rather just focus on making new content. Maybe you could make written guides for stuff going forward though?
My assumption is that it's better to respec at level 5 to full paladin for extra attack on time. Then go into Sorcerer the next 5 levels to get twinned haste at a reasonable time and then cap off the last two levels with Paladin stuff? Or are the protection auras worth postponing twinned haste to the very end of the game?
This build is very flexible so you can definitely build that way if you prefer! My recommendation is the order in the video, but it will of course depend on your party and playstyle
Quick question? Why not go for Paladin 2, Sword Bard 10, you get a lot of smie slots, get social stuff from Bard/utlity, and by giving Mintahra also 2 hand crossbows together with soul mark you have very decent range damage with the Bardic attacks and for big bosses you still have a ton of smites. At lvl 10 you take Haste from Magical secrets etc.
im going to point out that divine smite maxes out at 4th lv. At level 11 Paladins get 1d8 radiant damage on every melee attack. This makes a full Paladin smite as hard with a 3rd level spell slot as a Paladin multiclass would with a 4th level slot. So you only get 3 extra smites a day vs a full paladin build.
Dang I didn't think about it. Although I think that after level 6 (maybe 7), another caster class gives you more than staying single paladin. It also depends on what you want to do
Personally: Smites are super overrated anyway. Paladins are much more useful for their auras and what not compared to just being used as 2 pump chumps.
So then the question that matters is do you value consistent DPR + more passive support abilities, or more varied spellcasting and active CC support abilities through those spells. If it's the former, stick pure paladin. If it's the latter, go paladin/sorc.
New video let's go!
Sound is much improved since the ilithid video.
Sound quality is better today
You can increase the quality of materials by adding clips of actual gameplay with use of a spell or mechanic youre describing.
Its some added work for sure, but it would increase the quality drastically. Viewers retention as well
I accidentally broke my oath, is this still valid?
13:00 sure protection is really good, but you don't want to bunch up together in a fight either way.
The collateral dmg from aoe effects outweigh the benefits of protection.
Only if there's dangerous aoe in the encounter - many don't have any, and many of the ones that do you mitigate almost completely with your auras. You do of course have to be careful against some enemies though!
Hi, these build videos are missing a showcase part.
Agreed
Question about Band of Mystic Scoundrel: you say it "allows" you to cast illusion and enchantment spells as a bonus action but doesn't it effectively "force" you to cast them as a bonus action? If the item is in effect and you don't have bonus action you can't use one of your actions to cast the spell normally anymore. Or is it a bug and only I have ever encountered that problem?
If you're hasted, you can. Thing is, by attacking, you're exhausting an action. The band kinda works like quickened spell but only for illusion/enhancement. If you wanted to use an action for a spell/cantrip, it's gotta be at the start of your turn or, if you're hasted, by using either your first or second action.
@@e-duh3529 That's exactly why I'm asking. I can't use a haste action or a bloodlust action to cast the spell normally, it requires a bonus action instead. Is it a bug in my game or does it work this way?
@@alexmashkin863 oh prolly because since you made a weapon attack, the bonus action spell takes priority I suppose. Wonder if something like that happens with war priest charges too
@@e-duh3529 Yes, it does happen with war priest charges :-) A bit differently, if you had two actions at the start of the turn, you can expend normal attacks first, but if you used normal attacks and then got hasted for example, it will force you to use bonus action attack before you can use normal attack from additional action. At least that's how it goes in my game.
MIGHT AND MAGIC MENTIONED!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOOD IP MANAGEMENT????
Personally I think the mic makes you sound further away than normal
Why take level 5 Sorc and not level 8 Paladin? All you got was Haste.. you could've gotten that from the two bows that let you cast it.. and instead gotten another feat.. which seems much more powerful and difficult to replicate.
not quite sure why isn't lvl 12 wiz1? haste scroll? headband of boogers?
That's an option!
Could you do a swords bard paladin?
I'm new too the game
He did th-cam.com/video/4O_KrBfWsrk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JxtEdzDGEYeubK0x
How now brown cow
🎉
great video, hated that u pronounced it "source"-adin and not "sork"-adin,
Love ❤
I also did not enjoy his pronunciation but still enjoyed the remainder of the video nonetheless. He is a great source of knowledge and he is easily a very underrated content creator for Baldurs Gate 3. Happy to comment for the algorithm.
Sorry for my bad English.

Enjoy your sorkerer playthroughs!
Hello. I have a folder with a lot of builds for BG3 and honor mode. I would love to share it with you so you can do videos on them if you find some interesting. Good work!
Edit: and if someone is interested i make good builds for the game depending on what you want as i have 1300H already and years playing DnD ^^ Greettings to all
Algoooo boost
cheers!
Day 5 of pitching my favorite BG3 creator a new series idea: building a viable honor mode party where all characters have the same Base Class
You can do a lot with not only restricting yourself by you trying to use every subclass at least once (except for wizards and clerics lol), but also maybe even having an interesting thematic element for example your four bars could be fitting into the Beatles archetype, and you have to challenge yourself by using a Valor bard when either of the subclasses would probably do better
This would also give you an awesome opportunity to talk about what strengths and weaknesses each class brings and how for example some subclasses might be great do better / worse whenever surrounded by other similar team members, finally at the end maybe at the end of each video or after you finish a series you could do a tier list ranking which of them would be the most viable in which of them would be the least viable
Thanks for taking the time put of your day to read this, you're a wonderful resource to a lot of people, and I hope you consider this idea as it's one id be super interested in seeing you tackle
There are to many concentration spell haha
This Multiclass was likely a major factor in the huge nerf Paladin has received to Divine Smite in the new Players Handbook.
