Still surprised rangers don't get the spell melf acid arrow

I really think your builds are the only reason I’m still playing BG3. I just got through my first honor mode play through and thought for sure I’d be done for a while but these fun builds keep making me go back and try something new.

Dude, i am addicted to your build guides. They're so well done. You and Italian Spartacus have done some of the most amazing videos on this game.

Love the way you just break it down simply. From someone that just can’t make his mind up on a build I appreciate the simplicity. Subbeddddd😎

I watch pretty much every single one of your bg3 videos and I don't think I've ever left a comment - but tysm for these!

Let's goooo I'm so ready for this ranger update 😁✨️

Appreciate your content and the updates. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content after patch 7!

Was super eager to see this one updated!!

Love the soothing narration

Love the guides, finished my first Honour with a party based on your builds 👍 hope for the best archer update

dude i was literally watching the old one yesterday this is perfect

Finally found some Ranger love, i've been starving! Thanks for this, instant sub

My dudes got the best guides on YT. Extremely informative. Much appreciated 👍

As always, another great video

I have found all your videos extremely helpful in "vamping up" my characters abilities. I typically play Ranger or Rogue characters, so the videos for spellcasters were particularly helpful, since I am less familiar with those classes. I am currently near the end of my first run-through (about to face the Elder Netherbrain) and my main character is a Gloomstalker Ranger who has proven to be a powerhouse. He and Karlach have almost singlehandedly won the majority of the battles, sometimes with help from Astarion whom I redid as a Rogue/Ranger assassin based on one of your other tutorials. I was particularly pleased after watching this particular tutorial, that aside from a few minor differences, my Ranger build was almost 100% identical to what you suggested, which is probably why he has been such a badass! Thanks for the videos, and keep them coming!

Love the tech of creating ice surfaces from cold damage bows, it sounds really funny.

This was great, man. Just what I needed to move an older character forward. Cheers.

They left Minsc for last because he is so powerful

I was completely new to DnD and your builds helped me tremendously in understanding the mechanics of the game. One of my favorite combos when using a ranger: 1. Get the Gloves of Power. 2. Get the Brand of the Absolute on my ranger. 3. Respect to Hunter at lv 11. The fact that you can apply Bane as a ranged AoE before anyone else takes their turn is HUGE!

Great vids. Thx!

re: Titan String vs. Deadshot: I wonder if anyone's really crunched the numbers, b/c in experience, it seems like Titan String will ONLY do more average damage with Cloud Giant strength over the course of multiple battles. With any lesser strength buff like Hill Giant, the bonus to damage seems offset by Deadshot's 1 higher base damage, higher chance to hit, and higher chance to crit! Then add in the fact you could run Elixir of Bloodlust instead of a strength elixir...

Also one can trigger martial exertion while having shield of thralls on to 1. mitigate the damage taken and 2. potentially stun enemies in a pretty decent range around the character.

Im trying to beat honor mode now. on attempt 4 and didn’t get much further than the owl bear fight fight because of stupid mistakes… these builds are really useful to make strong parties and enjoy the game so thanks

I had a lot of fun in my last play through as a ranger using volley to stack reverb and some thunder with drakethroat glaive, hellrider long bow or bow of banshee and then fear is long range aoe without any spell slots at level 11 hunter

I would love to see some multiclass options for the ranger! :)

Great breakdown, what would your stat attribution be for a char making most of the interactions and talking? Still keep CHA at 8?

longtime watcher, first time commenter. two requests: 1) illithid powers tierlist 2) throw/push/telekinesis build that doesn’t use TB

So I was fighting Myrkul and got absolutely clapped but managed to get him to like 50 hp. Astarion with this build on level 8 was SHREDDING Myrkul's hp and did more than half overall damage to him than the rest of my party.

Hello!! Would you consider doing a “Damage subclass tier list”? Like, in the subclass tier list rogues were voted down (and I agree) because they’re a damage class that doesn’t do much damage, but what if damage was the only point of view, how would the subclasses be ranked?

hell yeah

🔥🔥🔥

I'm wondering if for mono Ranger, if Hunter is a better pick due to the power of the Volley ability you get at level 11 (which you eluded to at the start of the video). I've always thought it was more effective than Stalkers Flurry as having such high Dex and hit chance in general makes this ability seem kind of redundant a lot of the time vs a big AOE attack of arrows. Agree with you saying prior to this Hunter is quite weak, so maybe a respec at L11 to Hunter from Gloom might be quite nice :)

Do you think ranged fighters can be effective as well?

Does that mean your other archer builds are also outdated?

Gnomes and halflings have disadvantage at using longbows, no?

in the description of spikegrowth it says its shaped out of the ground. You said its plants? Dunno maybe its a BG3 5e difference?

What about end game at level 99? Do you have a build for that? I want to just grind and get overpowered before I start the story line.

Ive found that 1 Life Cleric and 11 Land Druid makes one hell of a fun main character with access to decent conversation skills and mechanically very powerful

I like your class guides, but it would be really nice if you could include some gameplay of the class each time :) Thanks!

Watching this as therapy bc good chance I'm gonna lose against myrkul again using the highest damage party build you have I'm being dishonorable with my hm run bc it was going so damn well that when everyone died against myrkul I unplugged my ps5 to reset the fight basically it worked when I accidentally killed the hag earlier in my run so now I'm using it to try and save myself from my lack of preparation bc I underestimated how hard this fight is and I'll either beat him or spend the next 12hrs trying before I decide to restart Edit: came back to say I managed it using scratch was the way to go I messed up the sneak attack so no dialog to skip the first phase but to be safe I laid down a wall of fire to block 2 meshes and hurt myrkul had astarion cast spike growth to lock down even more area damage for necromites that I never gave a chance to spawn after I wrecked the first ones in round 1 then once I eventually realized wyll never joined the fight I had him cast hunger of hadar on top of the spike growth the remaining path was blocked by karlach who sat at the bottom of it to heal and used her attack to run up smack him and run away according to my combat log phase 1 and 2 were finished by combat round 5 and not 1 necromite ever got a chance to attack or move or exist for that matter

Guys what about this very build but using a double crossbow?

The only knock I have against rangers is the disadvantage of playing them as a Main. Cha matters a lot for a main. Low Cha sucks, even if you have a high Cha companion b/c a lot of important conversations default to the Main. Otherwise rangers are great. A 12 Cha with Persuasion skill is good enough, but that comes at a real cost to a ranger build.

TOP, BARD BOW PLS

What are the changes to stealth archers? I can’t find them explicitly on from google.

Honestly, RPing Minsc and gimping his strength feels so wrong to me...

This is one of the only comments on this video.

5 Gloomstalker, 3 Swords Bard, 1 War Cleric, 3 Battlemaster Fighter. Kill everything.. rest, repeat.

Creators who set ability scores in odd numbers is ridiculous. It's better to points to other to get more saves and checks.

Your videos are ridiculously over explained. No reason why this build requires 45 minutes of explaining.

Would it be beneficial for an Arcane trickster build to dip 2 levels into ranger for Hunter's Mark, Ensnaring Strike and bow fighting style? Just wondering, bc those are very nice abilities and I really don't need 3 wisdom characters in my party ( Druid, Cleric and a Paladin/Warlock)
