The word you say in the end of your videos aways touch me, specialy in hard days, thanks for that, you are a great man!

WotC must have gotten hella desperate. On the other hand I'm kind of sad to see my favorite content creators showing for WotC.

19:56 THE KRAKEN IS COMING YAYYY

Why is this not in your DnD Optimized playlist?

Imagine Bugbear Assassin '24

New Drinking Game: Drink one shot of vodka, anytime Colby corrects himself with the written "**Species" on screen. Enjoy the hangover! :P

I wonder if DMs will use assassins more often now.

Im just so confused why you didn't take a 2 lvl barb dip for on demand advantage

I'm gonna make my first bladesinger with this guide THANK YOU SO MUCH

I don't think you've ever used Redemption Paladin in your builds...I'd be curious to see what you could do with that! 🤔

Also, since we need to run around, why not get the monks unarmored movement?

53:45 Except a caster will always be better at utility than you are and do more damage than most martials. Leaving Rogue as by far the worst class in the game,.

48:30 A Con save and only first round of combat after level 17. This will trigger once or twice in a campaign.

45:45 Sure, but we're at level 14 now and we're talking a CON save.

How many spell slots will a level 4 alchemist have?

31:15 Knocking them prone really doesn't unless you have other martials who can benefit. And that depends on initiative order, if the creature that was knocked prone goes before your melee allies it's just reduced movement. Also helping you melee allies who are alreayd outdamaging you do so even more is not groing to feel great. And it's also assuming that the party doesn't have a better way to get advantage, which when you have arogue, why not? If there is a rogue in the party someone really should pick up faerie fire.

29:25 At this point not all creatures have super high con saves.

Huge fan, love your channel. Thanks for your content 😀

Ooh, since you asked, I would be most excited to see you do updates to your series on underused weapons (Whippoorwill, Needler, whatever that slingshot/Crusher build was called, &c) as well as maybe a seperate video speaking on your opinions on which weapons got the biggest buffs and nerfs given Weapon Mastery, GWM being nerfed, how cool it is to have a 15 ft+ reach under easily achievable conditions &c &c. Have a really wonderful day, and thanks for making the world a little bit kinder by being in it! 💖

Man Starlight is one of my favourite songs ever 😂

24:30 One per level wpuld have been fine if it was somehting you consistently got to do but nope it's 3 extra damage against a single target every combat at best. Even at level 20 its' 20 extra damage per combat. Edit: Ok if you cna get a second sneak attack it's twice your rogue level per combat. It's still supwer low.

23:00 I really don't like the extra weapon damage. I'm sorry but at best it's your rogue level in extra damage per combat. That's nothing. I really wish they'd have gone with being allowed to sneak attack more than once per round so long as the target hasn't taken a turn yet.

Crusher, Piercer & Slasher being in the PHB is a big deal! That will really help to cement & differentiate the weapons & the weapon damage types.

I don't know if wotc addressed this at some point, but why keeping Rogue 2nd subclass features at lvl 9? It just feels so late

I would like to see an update on the swashbuckler nova!

Just wanted to share some insight on the comparison of this to Colby’s other builds because I know someone is going to hear “Tier 4” and immediately think “weak”. This was a straight build and Colby (he even admits this) is a notorious multiclasser. Those other builds utilized things like pally smites on crits while also using abilities from other classes as well. So him comparing it to the old builds should definitely taken with a grain of salt. I suspect he could have jacked those numbers way higher if he had free rein to go class hopping. And speaking directly to Colby here: Keep up the great work and enjoy the family vacation. You’ve more than earned it. Be seeing you in the next video you share. Much love brother.

Id love to see a 2024 phb blade singer.

Colby!!! If you haven’t you gotta listen to Plug in Baby!!! My favorite Muse song for sure!

So rogue 7 is the new rogue 11 when it comes to where to cut off and stay multiclassed. My favorite class is rogue but I'd probably never go high level.

If they have said whenever you use snak attack you can add 1d6 damage for each condition the target have that would have been preeeeemooo then those new cunning strike features would have really shined

"No more varient human or custom leaniage" .... yeah I am sure we wont see like Normal human all the time because they get two feats :D

As a paladin main I am sad about the divine smite changes, but from what I have seen so far most changes are pretty good! I would love to see a eldritch knight updated build! I think the EK can benefit a lot from the new weapon masteries and second wind changes.

"Treemonk would be so proud" lol

I really wish the cunning strike didn`t cost your sneak attack damage and instead had an option that increased the damage by 1d6. Something like: "Whenever you hit with your Sneak Attack you can choose one: Disarm, Poison, Withdraw, Trip or Extra d6" It's more of a psychological thing, not really a buff. Just a way of saying "see this new feature? you will be using it every round and it will always give you something nice"

I think the one thing you could have mentioned is that rogue has no resource expenditures for sneak attack, while paladins and fighters and barbarians all have limited uses of smites, action surges, and rages. Rogues cannot keep up damage-wise if there is only one combat encounter per day, but if the party is in an endurance challenge, fighting half a dozen times between rests, rogues would match up well with the martial classes.

47:32 Your friendly banter with @TreantmonksTemple gets me every time 😂 Taking Resilient Con at level 12, Skilled wouldn't be a bad feat at level 16 to raise Con to 18 and get another Expertise and Skill Proficiency for Reliable Talent.

Seems unfair to compare this 2024 build to the nova builds of 2014 (which I would assume make use of multi-smites, GWM, Sharpshooter, action surge spells, and twin spells; all of which have been nerfed)

I think you’re going to see all your martial builds are going to drop in damage with the loss of sharpshooter and great weapon master.

Surprised you didn’t pick up the current version of magic initiate for booming blade, seems like it would scale better than your second weapon attack.

I think it sounds best when you pronounce it "Scimitar"

Great vid as always. Big oof on the changes though. One of my favorite combos is Assassin 3/Gloom Stalker 3 for those autocrits, and my player who has that character is in a solo campaign with me, so she almost always has a surprise round, since one person is easier to make that happen with.

I am really curious how much damage the less optimized characters can do vs the most optimized characters. This ph24 has really been about rebalancing the game to bring the outliers closer to the main pack so getting a baseline build for each class as a newbs first optimization comparison point to the hyper optimized you are known for could be really interesting. I really am excited for the new phb

Curious to here your thoughts on the new grappling rules.

The obscure I will always roleplay “POCKET SAND!! Shi Shia!!”

Definitely had no idea d4 stood for anything

I'm probably gonna homebrew sneak attack dice to equal to the amount in the table + your proficiency bonus

I am sure rules lawyers will find a way to make this really good in niche situations, but as someone that has not played in a long time, this seems extremely weak compared to pretty much every other class.

I’m tempted to consider Rogue level + Proficiency bonus for Surprising Strike damage

The 2024 Rogue can finally use Scimitar by RAW? Biggest news of all so far!

Colby supports the metric system! I knew I loved you before but you always surprise me!
