Congrats on instantly distinguishing yourself from other build channels I’ve seen. I always enjoy when a creator takes the time to explain their approach and thought process and not just rattle off the most broken abilities and items

I love how this build “comes online” really early on. Level 4 for this build is akin to level 5 for a pure fighter. And once you start putting in Wizard levels you can really start to go crazy. Im gonna use this on my next playthrough.

Man, as someone who has been *obsessed* with BG3 and has consumed dozens of build channels I'm very excited to see what you can bring to the table. Your philosophy on builds especially with regards to most of said videos focus on the lategame is very astute. You also really know what you're talking about and I can tell that effort and research was put into this video despite only being less than 15 minutes long. I see that this is your first BG3 build video so I'm definitely sat for more!

As a lefty who loves spellblades, words cannot express how happy i am to stumble across this build! Thank you!

Okay, so I am in Act 3 and Ive finally realized the power of scrolls. Honestly, scrolls are so strong that its probably worth it to just go two levels into Evocation Wizard, and then put the rest of your levels into Rogue. I haven't tested it, but scrolls are nutty strong on this build when wearing the Helmet of Arcane Acuity.

Fun fact: If you play as an Astarion or Shadowheart Origin, you get to pick which mage cantrip you want during the character "creation" screen. This video is definitely something to consider for those interested in playing as one of those characters.

I would Like to introduce you to the Swords Bard 8, Thief 4 Build, Two Offhand Attacks, Two Main Hand attacks, 4th Level Spells, Fighting Style, Medium Armor, Battlemaster like Manuvers that recharge on short rest, Doesn't miss any Feats/ASIs, Double Expertise, and High Charisma for being the face of the party, a third short rest. Start one level Bard, then Three Rogue for Thief (Or go 3 bard first for the fighting style) Your build is a little stronger true at level 1 but this build never feels weak even on Tactician.

Subbed, this was much better than most class build videos because you shared your reasoning and didn’t just rattle off a bunch of overpowered combinations. I think being suggestive rather than prescriptive is going to serve you well.

Hat of pyroquickness. Chuck a fireball into a crowd and then go in with 3 offhand attacks (+1 BA thief, +1BA from hat)

You're only the 2nd channel that really thinks about their builds. Lots of surface level low thinking content on BG3 stuff. But you are very thoughtful and take an interesting angle at this. Well done, I will be here for more BG3 content

Since this guide is a sort of geared towards beginners I think it'd be worth mentioning that you don't need levels in Wizard to cast from scrolls. Anyone can cast any scroll without any skill checks. Stealing scrolls of 4th level and below are easy and give access to great spells like blur, mirror image, misty step, dimension door, or stoneskin if you have nothing to concentrate on. Since the build is pretty open it might be worth mentioning that Elf cantrips always scale off intelligence no matter what. Unless you did mention it.

Thanks for helping fill the gaps for early gameplay. You're right, so many build videos focus on Act 3.

Nice to see build focusing on maximizing action exonomy, most builds seem to sleep on that especially on early levels. I personally usually go for abjuration wizard as spellblade for pure bulkiness, but might now try your plan for evo, idea for sculpted fireballs dropped at melee range just feel awesome and cant believe I havent thought of that before

I did something similar to this, and the ring from the creche that infuses your weapons with the element of your last spell works incredibly well with your offhand attacks so that you can use that buff in the same turn instead of needing to wait until the next

You’re so right. Exactly the way it feels. Reaching act 3 is like, game is over in term of challenge. You can be godlike in about few minutes of act 3, knowing where the crazy equipements are. Nice fresh air video !

I would suggest going with Sorcerer at level 5 instead of using the race-based shocking grasp. So from levels 1-4, you're just a dual wielding martial character. The reason I suggest sorcerer is that shocking grasp benefits from situational metamagic like distant spell or twin spell. Additionally, draconic bloodline (blue or bronze) get +CHA to lightning spell damage at class level 6 (so total level 10). Additionally, if you equip potent robes, you get another +CHA to cantrips, which shocking grasp is. So with all that plus necklace of elemental augmentation, you get +3xCHA to shocking grasp for 3d8+15 or so assuming 20 CHA at level 12. If you use the Sylvan Scimitar from Jaheira, you attack with your CHA as well, so DEX isn't as important. You can also give your sylvan scimitar a lightning enchantment from the drakethroat glaive for extra lightning damage. You should also use the ring of arcane synergy to add +CHA again to your weapon attack damage. Lastly, if the target is wet, you do 2x damage on lightning. If the target is paralyzed via a hold ___ spell, you can crit with shocking grasp for obscene amounts of damage. You should be using most of your spell slots on haste or shield as needed. And your sorcery points should be used for boosting shocking grasp. Anyways, those are some thoughts on where you can take this core concept into the late game. I tested it on my late game save file, and it's pretty effective. Thanks for the fun and cool build concept!

This would be the only build I've seen where True Strike wouldn't be completely useless. You would always have at will advantage to trigger sneak attack.

This is a breath of fresh air in the build video lineup. A concept build that works from level 1, amazing! I totally agree that by mid Act 3, I'm usually losing interest and already thinking about new builds for the next playthrough. You've avoided several things I don't like about most build videos: 1. Hog all the best gear on this one character, take hag's hair - sure, if you're playing solo (no party) I guess? Most people don't though... so statistically for 3/4 of the builds they're looking to use, they can't do that. 2. Most of the gear is acquired in Act 3, and the build is somewhat item reliant - okay, so you're ~2/3 of the way through the game before your build is any good or much fun. That's a lot of hours where you're not "doing the thing". To be fair, the game is a bit light on gear. There should probably be twice as much as there is.

I love how you tied in Catan and Uno, as a Dnd player I've never thought about it like that. Just subscribed

if anybody wants to know some good items, the ring of arcane synergy and the sylvan scimitar in off-hand are probably two BiS for this kind of build. Spoiler Warning: the ring is from the female githyanki you meet when you enter the creche, scimitar is from jaheira. either from recruiting her or looting it from her if she dies in the assault

Well done! I really appreciate that you talk about the PLAY STYLE of your build. Most people don't do that. All those guides but they leave you floundering as to how to PLAY the damn class, even basic classes. The only thing I don't like about doing dips in multi-classing is that you lose out on a feat. That's thing with this build. What you get in return might be worth the loss, that's a personal preference thing I guess.

It's really cool to see how you approach building with this as your first experience with 5e-ish mechanics. I say "5e-ish" because this would not have been possible in 5e. Which probably hurts my build creativity; I'm not used to BG3 mechanics - Thief doesn't get an extra bonus action. Which is honestly a shame, thief isn't a very good subclass and that honestly sounds awesome! - Two weapon fighting only lets you make an attack with your offhand weapon as a bonus action IF and AFTER you make an Attack with a light melee weapon in your main hand. Can't do it after dashing, can't do it after casing spells. Has to be a light melee weapon in each hand. (Unless you have other features). Hm. I wonder about adding both of those changes to my list of homebrew rules.

Theoretically, you could do this with a polearm like Sorrow. Have a longer attack range, attack with the butt of the glaive as a bonus action, and also cast thorn whip as a bonus action as well.

have been playing a similar build. 1 fighter. 4- warlock. 4 rogue 3 fighter. the idea is pretty much the same. but instead cha, and eldritch blast. using pact of the blade, then put that weapon on the off hand. this way you can focus every thing in to cha. using dual wield feat, you get the sword and staff. taking thief gets you a second bonus action. as for fighter. pick champion for better crit chance + warlocks old gods fear on cit. or alternatively eldritch knight for more spell slots and the shield spell. which also gets you bound weapon. for that specific weapons. i instead focused on warlock first because you get that extra beam at lvl 5.

My respect and appreciation to you, great concept of builds and designs to enjoy throughout the game, not just when reach a point later in the game. Thank you, will look back here for more great ideas.

This was an excellent guide that really broke down why you went the path you did. Most builds focus on late game and max level, even in the TTRPG, which makes it harder to make them work at where you spend most of your time at: the early levels. Having a build that comes online quickly and can branch off is a far better playing experience than having to wait and be bored with something that won't work until later.

i know you dont know much about tabletop rpgs, but this replicates kind of the same concept as the magus class from pathfinder

Almost every build I see focuses on what’s possible when you’re finally maxed. Or you’re supposed to respec every two levels to shift your power around. I think for this you’d be better off starting rogue for the proficiencies, as I think fighter still gets fighting style when you class into it after

The most fun build I know is the wizard tank, definitely can recommend. If your goal is to start it as soon as possible you either start as a white dragonic sorcerer or a warlock to gain access to armor of agathys. After that go all levels into Abjuration Wizard. The idea is that the Arcane ward protects your armor of agathys from breaking, but if you get hit by a melee attack it still deals the full amount damage. And armor of agathys scales great the higher level you cast the spell. When you cast it as a level 6 spell, it grants 30 temp hp and returns 30 cold damage every single time you get hit by a melee attack. If you want to make this build about 4x better, you need a party member with warding bond, this grants the wizard resistance to all damage and which is applied before the arcane ward reduces the amount of damage. The remaining amount get's subtracted from the warding bond caster, which is very low. Late game the wizard needs to be hit for at least 40~45 damage to actually take at least 1 point of damage which is then shared with the warding bond caster. Your most important spell will be glyph of warding & counter spell, for GoW the range is not great, but you can face tank the enemies anyways. It is really flexible with the damage types and can be used as setup (like casting it somewhere before battle then throwing a enemy onto it), the damage is not much worse then fireball 5 ~ 40 damage instead of 8 ~ 48 BUT the most important part is that it is an abjuration spell so every time you cast it, you gain 3 additional charges on your arcane ward. Counter spell is self explanatory, it is an abjuration spell that deals with one of your weaknesses being spell damage. Fire Shield can also be used for additional return damage if you wish, but I don't think this is great unless you do a solo run. For race, githyanki, dwarf or half elf is probably best just because of armor proficiencies, half elf especially having dark vision and light armor & shield proficiency. You might want to get hit, but getting hit to often reduces the effectiveness of the arcane ward, so try to balance it a bit. There are 2 early game items that are very nice, one in act 1 underdark and the other in act 2. Just for any person that does not want to read any further . . . . . . . . . . . . . In act 1 you have Mourning Frost, simple but effective staff for any cold damage based build. You can achieve it in the underdark by combining the broken cold staff pieces found on various drows. In act 2 you have Icebite Robe, it grants cold resistance and a free use of a level 3 armor of agathys which is nice but not mandatory. You can find it in a sarcophagus below the mausoleum.

✨D o p a m i n e✨

man what a fun video and u open my eyes would take me a while to notice that u can max by using left hand the cantrip choice by class REALLY comes in hand to try any elemental build of the game and they are hella fun

I really like this build. Comes online immediately, fully realized by the time you get to the Goblin camp, and leaves a lot of room for personalization. I love the idea of spellblades but haven't found Eldritch Knights particularly fulfilling, mainly due to main action leveled spells being so situational since you give up your Extra Attack. Using the offhand weapon and doubled bonus action as a sort of pseudo-Extra Attack feat is a creative solution while also giving a lot of flexibility. Super excited to play around with this build in my next playthrough.

Lovely! I actually did another version of this idea, with my swords bard thief. 9 lvls of swords bard gives you extra attack, two weapon fighting, lvl 5 spells and flourishes. Later in the game With arcane acuity helmet and jungle ring, I was just demolishing enemies with attacks and unavoidable spells from action and bonus action. Your version starts off stronger, though.

Would love more builds that are fun all the way through! Like you, by act 3 I'm feeling done and don't really care about the build. I want something that's engaging through the whole thing and this is definitely something I'll try.

I really hope you do more videos on BG3, I've been hooked on this game and this is by far the best build guide I've seen because of the way you demonstrate its early game use. This even inspired me to try and create my own build centered around this base, though I still haven't fully worked out the details yet. Great work dude.

This build is really cool, and I’m 100% keeping this in my back pocket for a run. I might suggest only taking 7 levels of Wizard though, if you’re okay with only getting a single ASI on this character. Action Surge seems like an excellent way to continue abusing the action economy. Or, you could accept that this character won’t be able to cast spells above 3rd level (akin to a half-caster in this game, I guess), then take 4 levels each of Fighter/Rogue/Wizard. Taking Eldritch Knight to give you a couple extra cantrips and free up prepared slots in your spellbook could be pretty useful. I have no clue how this would look as you progress through the game, but I’m sure there’s a way to keep the momentum going. My first run of the game has been a Wild Magic Sorcerer 4/Div Wizard 2/Lore Bard 6, and while that’s been pretty fun I will say that Act 1 was rough for me. I had chosen Wild Magic for the free advantage on skill checks, and while I wouldn’t exactly say I *regret* that decision… I would have survived more fights if I went Draconic Bloodline. Also, I had intentionally dumped Dex for “character” reasons (this was a character I wanted to play at a table), and… yeah no, wrong choice lol. Only time I respec’d the character was to fix a mistake with which cantrips I picked up at which levels, however. All this to say, as others already have, it’s really cool that you were thinking of the early game for this build as well as the late game. Builds don’t make much sense to me if they aren’t useable for 70% of the game. And, as a personal preference… I just don’t want to remake a character with Withers every other level.

I love the idea. Weren't there build details in the description if you wanted to use an alternative caster? I was planning on trying it out with Spore Druid and wanted to rely on those extra details

Huh, I didn't think of using the racial bonus spell plus fighter to get dual weapon fighting and cantrips at lv1. That's a pretty good idea actually. I was going for bard for my bonus action spellbade build since that also gives two weapon fighting and unlike fighter, is a caster class(so you get a bit more spell slots), but seeing this, fighter 1->caster1->thief 3 then respec at lv6 into bard3/rouge 3 might have been better for getting the 'spellblade' playstyle up earlier than bard 3->thief 3 considering this progression gets both two weapon fighting and extra bonus action noticeably later.

Fun build, and a fun video. I have done something similar with a Swords Bard, and it really did feel like a powerhouse from the start. It’s a personal choice, but I don’t like respecting that much myself. For the companions, or if you make a mistake, but I feel like it changes the characters story. It’s more interesting when your characters were doing all of the things you wanted them to do from the start.

Fun fact, the rogues sneak attack works with ranged spell attacks. This is a distinct difference from the actual 5e system where it has to come from a weapon attack. Thanks to this the crossbow version of the build gets an additional attempt at a sneak attack by casting fire bolt or ray of frost, though the sneak attack damage will still be piercing damage. When I noticed this for the first time, I decided to try building a charisma based rogue by dipping 2 levels into warlock at levels 2 and 3 for eldritch blast and its invocations, and the rest going into arcane trickster rogue for utility spells. The knockback especially can skyrocket your damage if you utilize high ground well. While the choice of patron doesnt matter too much, I specifically with the great old one as a patron for the fear on crit feature it has as a little bonus. You could probably get a lot more use out of this if you go assassin instead of arcane trickster. It also just works very well with advantage and multiple beams, and can pay off in dividends if you decide to utilize crit fishing items later on in the playthrough. As usual the choice of race doesnt matter terribly much. I personally went with the shield dwarf for the medium armour proficiency, as I wouldnt be maxing out my dexterity anyways. I will say that for the first 2 levels this will feel a lot weaker than many other early builds, but as soon as youve got your invocations you start seeing its effects, and especially when you hit lvl 5 and get your second beam this becomes a very consistent sneak attack machine since you get the advantage from hiding on all of your beams. The sneak attack will still only proc once though, so keep that in mind if you split your beams.

Interesting approach, thank for the video! Also, both "pure" Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight only get up to 2nd level spells (pure AT's spell slots are a bit bugged right know though). AT's also get one less known spell, presumably because they don't have that many to chose from anyway. And AT's also get an improved Mage Hand which mostly doesn't work though...

Ooo I didn't even consider the Rogue Levels for an extra Bonus Action. Wonderful idea! I'm only level 4 on my Battlemage Durge run so far but I'm going to be replacing two Wizard levels with two Warlock levels and have Eldritch Blast as my main Cantrip (Hits 3 times, Pure EKs hit 3 times with weapon attacks, made sense to me!), yes that would make the build very MAD but I don't mind picking up some items and Ethel's Boon to enable this build (Gloves of Dex and Warped Headband of Intellect), it's my third run and I want to experiment! Also want to supplement the spellcasting with Scrolls and be a sort of Scroll Savant Battlemage (because even playing as a pure Wizard a lot of the Scrolls just gather dust in my inventory). Because I'm focusing more on EB, my offhand attacks will be using Hand Crossbows and I'm planning on getting the Ne'er Misser for said Offhand, mainly because it's Force Damage and I can flavour it as slinging out some Magic Missiles. Yeah could do Sorcerer instead of Wizard but I prefer the flavour of Wizard as well as the spell adaptability. For anyone else who is thinking of doing something similar, make sure that you take the level in Warlock AFTER the level in Wizard (or other none Charisma full caster) so that your Equipment and Scrolls will scale off your Charisma. Also it will be more around the mid game that this build will truly come online but the baseline fun is still there at Level 4

something of note, in the gith creche you can get the Daredevil Gloves that can make ALL non-save (ie acid splash, poison spray, etc.), spell attacks into melee like how shocking grasp is

Idk who else knows this, but Produce Flame is excellent for producing the Castigation Ring + Callous Glow Ring combo. I have an Asmodeus Tiefling Warlock and it's nice, convenient and best of all, free

Oh yea! This is what we have been looking for! Please make more videos..BG3 is the best! Outstanding video

Took this and ran rogue 4 fighter 6 and wizard 2. Got me 2 attacks, 2 bonus action, 3 feats and 3 chances to cast sheild as a reaction. I also have battle master abilities and use scrolls to cover my casting the 2 wizard levels are to turn off friendly fire

I think something like this could work really well with 2 fighter, 3 rogue and at least 3 levels in warlock and pact of the blade (for charisma scaling melee damage so you don’t have to suffer in rp and still do good damage with your two off hand melee hits) add the gloves in act 1 that let you cast ranged spells in melee and you can use the multiple beams of Eldritch Blast first then follow up with multiple off hand attacks. Not sure what to do with the rest of the levels though

One of the best build videos for BG3, looking forward for more!

Great video man, I'm having so much more fun with casters now. Thanks!

Doesn't work in D&D 5e. For the bonus action attack, you have to declare the ATTACK main action. So you can still make 2 attacks while in melee, but not while you do everything else.

I'd say, in late act 2 all of the action economy becomes mostly irrelevant. With "awakened" buff you get to use illithid powers as a bonus action (some of them are really good), and one of them makes all your bonus actions into actions (mind sanctuary, allows you to take actions and bonus actions interchangeably). With something like multiclassed fighter/thief, haste, helm of grit, you can vomit out so many attacks it becomes truly insane. And your attacks will be no puny offhand ones, but a mighty greatsword attacks.

I had a fun modded playthrough using bladesinger mod with 5e spells so you get booming blade and green flame blade. Missing those cantrips really hurts for spellblade style

I really enjoyed this build video, as a DnD nerd BG3 confuses the hell out of me and every build video is "get this item and spam this" I really appreciate the thought out explanations on why you would choose something especially when its flavour over what is most meta, I hope to see a lot more of these

Nice work as always. Glad to see ya made it over here after all the ESO builds.

Wait wait wait I CAN FINALLY BE A LEFTIE IN A GAME????!!! 'm gonna go cry over there Then I'm going to make meself and start a new play though, hehehe

Nice! I like the build and idea. This is something i will try for my next run through.

Something to keep in mind for Act 2, Jeheria has a “elven scimitar” or something along those lines that will allow you to use your spellcasting bonus for your attack and damage rolls, great to use in your off-hand and lastly, you can use the warped headband of intellect from the ogres in the blighted village to redirect some ability scores to other stats, like constitution for health, or even wisdom or charisma for some skill checks

This is the kind of build i have been Looking for in bg3, i love the approach of focussing on what you can do with levels alone AND the Focus on act1, too many great builds Are only viable at act 3 which normally discoureges me from trying them.

Well done, guy

Well Ned Flanders would love this build quite a lot I think! Leftorium seal good-didly-oodness seal of approval! Also unironically if you don't want to class Astarion into the amazing Rogue/Ranger build he seems made for and want to somehow find a way to keep him in mystical-bladed combat this seems like a good path. Also kinda nice if you somehow fucked up and didn't get him Bite since without it he loses a lot of action economy and actual power.

This man just invented pathfinder 1e magus in dnd 5e Great

And wait till lvl 8 for the first fit. Such a nice build.

replace wizard with 7 in bard for extra attack feat and 1 in wizard. i finished a playthrough with a 6/5/1 bard warlock wizard, level 4 spells and can attack as many times as a eldritch knight by stacking blade pact with extra attack and can prepare from scrolls. act one is a little rough, you ideally want to either get warlock to level 5 first or put 3 levels into swords bard for medium armor and flourishes then put 5 levels into blade warlock. Depends on your preference for medium armor or not. A half-elf or human gets shield proficiency with light armor so that kinda does the same thing. it starts coming together in act two since you should definitely have enough xp if you did both the mountain pass and the underdark. Act three, the steel watchers respawn so you can effectively grind them for xp without having your build incomplete before doing act 3's content. It's kinda broken in act 3.

My favorite part of this is that I make optimized builds for 5e as a hobby, but didn't even think of this when I started BG3 because several of those key features for this build work differently in the base game, making this not viable, and I hadn't appreciated the changes, whereas you're coming in with no D&D experience and picked it out before I did.

I'm planning to do the Jack of all Trades chalange and this is exactly my approach. Fighter off hand shenanigans, that and wizard scroll learning for high lvl spells 👌.

Great video, thanks for focusing on early game

I subscribed for more! I was just griping about how late game builds frustrate me a lot, since the majority of the game is played before that.

I was about to post an idea for a build but it needs complete refactoring when I realize bonus actions don't benefit from extra attack. I had a build that was fighter 1 rogue 4 Paladin 5 Sorc 1 cleric 1, but if I don't get extra attack on bonus actions, then Paladin 5 is not necessary. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Fun fact. In DnD 5e, this is a 7th level feature for the Eldritch knight. (They can do this with non light weapons, too. But it's bad XD). But this is actually very nice, because it's one of the few single target attacking build, that doesn't feel bad if you multiclass before level 5 and delaying your extra attack, because you get your extra attack at 4. The only issue is, that you have to actually hold two weapons, but you can go for a silly buff weapon like scarlet remittance in your main.

Thanks for this, I love the build. I also find it annoying to watch build videos that show a build that is totally gear dependent that requires basically finishing 95% of the game to achieve.

sad I couldn't be lefty from the rip in this game tbh for all its roleplay options

This build is perfect for making Trickery Domain cool and somewhat useful. The Divine Strike (poison) triggering from offhand and Channel Divinity helping out with Sneak Attacks!

Solid build. I'm in. Subscribed.

Would love to hear your ideas on what would be good builds/good classes to pair with this one for synergy!

Ultimate leftie spellblade: Fghter 2 Thief 3 Pact of the Blade 3

awesome build idea

I don't understand why jump is an action but misty step is a bonus action.

Would you please describe the Arcane Crossbow? I prefer ranged/spells and this build is genius, so I am super curious about the Arcane Crossbow. Thank you!

I have never ever used a shocking grasp and I fail to see how good it is. Even in the best case scenario of using it on a wet, metal target in melee range and being able to move away without being hit by opportunity attack, it still only seems good to quicken it as a sorc so you can walk way and use another spell without penalties. This is not a comment on or any serious critique of the entire video, I just really dislike Shocking Grasp :|

Loved the idea and loved the both videos ! You should continue on bg3 builds. Good job, liked & subscribed :D Almost every other videos about builds are lacks the idea and way of thinking also they tell the viewers "you should play the game after you finished the game" I still cant get idea out of my mind to mixing this build with level 5 cleric to get Spirit Guardians, Create or Destroy Water, Sanctuary, Command and Bless or maybe level 2 sorc with Armour of Agathys and twin meta magic with 1 level wizard for scroll learning... oh maybe 2 level warlock... So much potential !!!

Awesome build! Keep them coming. Would love to see a pure summoning build. I haven’t been able to experiment myself so I wasn’t sure if you are able to have let’s say beast master companion and an elemental out at the same time.

This looks like a swords bard with an extra bonus action instead of flourishes and a much slower spellcasting progression.

you should do a follow up build for mid and then another for late game

Im actually angry that off hand costs bonus action. Pathfinder have better dual wielding "fantasy"

Omg I love this build. But I wanna change it up a bit. How about using ranger instead of fighter? I just really like the ranger vibe… With this tho, I don’t know how far to take ranger, at ranger 1 it’s practically the same as your fighter1/theif3/wizard8 build. At level 2 ranger instead of fighter, however, you’d be losing a feat, but be gaining some nifty ranger spells, and total out to a level 8 spellcaster nontheless. At level 3 ranger, you’d end up as a a level 7 spellcaster (getting level 4 spells same as with a level 8 spellcaster) , and you’d end up as a 3/3/6 ranger rogue wizard. With this, you’d be getting gloomstalker ranger abilities, which is a +3 to initiative, among other things. Would this be better than if you were to get a feat? Such as say a ranger 4/thief3/wizard5 - at this point, if I’m correct, you’d still be getting level 4 spells as it’s 5 wizard plus 2 spellcaster levels from ranger. What do you think? Also, is it worth getting dual wielder for this build? With that you could be dual wielding a staff and a sword or two long swords with a d10 damage die. Thanks a lot for this build tho!

Start in 5:20

is acuracy a probleme past act 1 ? if you go 16 dex and 16 int and you unlock your first feats later how do keep hiting ennemies with both your spell and your blade ? Very cool video tho, i really love the way you build

Would getting to lvl 3 fighter for eldritch knight not be more effective? I havent played bg3 so idrk but getting action surge seems like it would be tasty

I've not tried multiclassing, I hadn't found the right explaination for me. I think this video actually helped me understand it more, so thank you. I just have a question: Is there some reason not to pick the fighter's action surge and carry on from there? Do 8 levels in wizard offer something better?

Your hit points are going to be very low and you'll be really MAD (multi ability dependant), but I agree that this seems fun. I would probably prioritise a high Con if I were to try it out.

This is fun does ot work well with an Eldritch knightbuild?

Does bg3 have polearm master? If it does wait until he hears about it...

Enjoyed your video and approach. How do you go about the arcane crossbow approach?

Okay so if i want to make the same build but for Astarion, what wizard subclass should i go?

I am curious on the Arcane Archer you mentioned. Do you happen to have a Video on this?

i could replace 8 wizard with 8 sorc or 8 warlock and still good?

Very well thought out. You sure you’re not part of a 5E optimizer discord or Reddit group lol

I recognise your voice from some elder scrolls videos, did you change your channel name?

Will this build work with sorc instead of wizard?
