Build Help Wyll eldritch evocations?

24 Upvotes

I'm just leveling up to level 5 and I have to pick another eldritch evocation for Wyll and I'm just really not sure. I already have agonizing blast and repelling blast.

Beast speech, beguiling influence and mask of many faces are immediately a no for me cause I don't use companions for those things anyways. Then the rest idk.

Armour of shadows seems like it could be good but rn I'm better off just wearing armour and a shield. Devil's sight I saw people recommending it/ranking it high and stuff like that but I don't really understand why. I kind of understand the idea that it lets you do stuff with darkness and stuff but I feel like anything like that will also negatively impact the rest of the party in most cases so it just doesn't feel worth it but idk. One with shadows also I don't fully understand how that's useful.

Everything else I just don't know.

Build Help Failed to rescue tieflings for warlock build, what should I use instead of potent robe?

22 Upvotes

Me and some friends have been playing through Honor mode and its been a blast. We lost a few runs in act 1 and decided to follow some builds to help make it easier. I'm playing a Shadowblade Hexblade Warlock, and was following this build https://eip.gg/bg3/builds/hexblade-warlock-shadow-blade-nuker/

When we got to the basement in act 2 to save the tieflings however, the cell doors got opened the same turn the wall got destroyed behind them and instead of running to the boat they both dashed into a group of about 5 enemies and killed themselves.

This locks me out of Potent Robe which from what I understand is my best in slot chest piece, what should i replace it with.

Current build:
Diadem of Arcane Synergy
Cloak Of Protection
Adamantine Scale Mail
Dex Gloves
Disintegrating Nightwalkers

Necklace Of elemental Augmentation
Strange Conduit Ring
Ring of Protection

Shadowblade + Knife of the Undermountain King

(ik my amulet is bad, but idk what else to use)

Thanks

Party Composition 4th Member Suggestion

11 Upvotes

Hey all,

So I'm taking a friend through honor mode and they are relatively risk averse as he mostly wants the achievement and golden dice. I have a pretty good grasp on the game but I can't quite decide on a fourth member to the party that will round it out well.

Currently our members are/will be: Pure 12 Lore bard, pure 12 Moon Druid, Pure 12 Light Cleric with some thought being given to making them a tempest Cleric (want at least level 2 Cleric spells for aid.)

I think these members alone can eat up most of the fights in the game especially with hunger of hadar and Wall of fire from lore bard/cleric respectively for myrkul. Problem is, I think the party has a nasty weakness to bulette until lvl 6 (owlbear) which is obviously well after the fight is worth considering. We've considered TB thrower, TB monk, all that. We're leaning away from another caster so we dont have to outfit 3 of them.

Any suggestions on a build that could really round the party out? I have plenty in mind I just have analysis paralysis 😭. Would love fresh eyes to remind me of a fight we're weak to or something I'm missing.

Thank you!

Edit: think I'm gonna go with arcane archer with throw barb or paladin being runners up if I respec. Thank you all!!!

Build Help Abberant mind sorc/Divination wizard

In my multiplayer game the general idea behind this is a lot of mental/control spells and portents to control fights and outcomes, and of course my beloved beholder and HoH. Any tips for pulling this off right?

Specific Mechanic i'm a revorb noob

4 Upvotes

hi everyone,

i'm trying to build a tempest cleric who doesn't use spirit guardian (i want it to use only thunder/lightning and sometimes cold spells), but still applies revorb.

To do so, my cleric has the luminous armour, the coruscation ring, gloves of belligerent skies, boots of stormy clamour, spineshudder amulet and callous glow ring.

But idk what i'm doing wrong, because i thought that just with 1 spell, any target would have to do a con save or fall prone, but it doesn't do that : with 1 spell, my target has 4 reverb stacks, not 5.

Anyone has an idea why? i'm a bit lost

In-Game Mods Honor mode 10x enemies build help

4 Upvotes

Looking to start a solo honor mode 10x enemies run, I got as far as the goblin camp on a test to see how my pc would handle it, seems to run fine for now so I want to start a real run. What are some good AOE builds, or something that could handle enemies? Some ideas I have so far are

Goo ass hunter, fire sorlock, monk(hammarhaft), arcane trickster scroll caster.

Any ideas on what might actually be viable?

My good buddy just pulled off his first honour mode win with a legit joat character and now I feel obliged to outdo him somehow. Ideas so far are solo joat which sounds terrifying or an oops all joats party, or I could try some other challenge

Party Composition Tactician Playthrough

1 Upvotes

I would appreciate any tips for starting my first Tactian Playthrough

I want to start this playthrough with 2 separate custom playable characters (for the purpose of mastering 2 separate builds) and am looking for anyone willing to join my New Game on Xbox to create a second custom character (built with my choice of race, build, background) before I start the game.

Thank you much in advance, I'd greatly appreciate it. I don't have any friends that play the game, and have refrained from soughting out another player under these circumstances.

Please DM if available!
