It's a missed opportunity not to call this build "Kung Fury"

If Elemental Adept works like it does in the tabletop, then it's worse than it looks: the part that says "you cannot roll a 1" with that damage type, it doesn't mean it rerolls the 1. It means it turns the 1 into a 2. I'm not joking

duergar monk/rogue is absolutely insane 8/4 m/r split if you max out your dex, you'll have a +13 to slight of hand, and with cat's grace clothing you also get advantage on al SoH checks

The most controversial thing in this video is calling it "1die8" instead of 1d8

You mentioned that crusader's mantle can be built around with a lot of fighters or monks. The spell effect only triggers on weapons so unless the monk is holding a weapon it will not trigger crusader's mantle.

Cloud of daggers is best single-target lvl spell even if it only stays on target for 1 turn. 10 damage average on cast + 10 at the beginning of opponent's turn. So casting cloud of daggers into concentrated blast next turn gives you very efficient damage. Also Ice wall into bonus action concentrated blast for ridiculous amount of burst damage.

Great advice amigo! Extremely helpful

I use calm emotion every time I meet the harpies in the beginning. It applies on the whole groupe and prevent charms which makes the fight very easy. I've wiped in honor mode against them in having 3 of my char get charm on the first round.

What i do is I don’t take any tadpoles before the Astral one. After I take the astral tadpole it gives me all the inner tier for free. Then I use the the eight tadpoles I have collected at this point to fill out the outer powers. Also if you survive the machine in the gith crèche it gives you tadpole powers as bonus actions rather than actions.

Thanks for the video! :) Very informative. Personally I would think necromancy would be S tier but I'm biased. :P I think it stands above the others for me because of how valuable it is from a resource standpoint and the raw power it provides. I always play a necromancy wizard on harder difficulties because once they can summon, they become extremely powerful from a resource standpoint. At level 12 I was running around with...10 undead minions, I think? The paralysis from 5-9 ghoul attacks per turn outside of your own turns is pretty bonkers, and their attack bonus is pretty high. (Also the AI of the game tends to avoid hitting the skeleton archers, which makes them very very high value since they do 15-20 damage each per turn - even if they hit once every second turn, one fourth level spell is dealing 30-40 damage every turn for...well, they usually survived for at least half a long rest/a few combats. I think I had all four skeleton archers survive for the entire Raphael fight! (also the lack of piercing resistance helps...)

Tavern Brawler throw-anything S++. Whatever is below that have fun dying lol

I don't see hex spell

At least with find familiar, it can take a hit

Dragonborn is roleplay tier. Halfling is reverse roleplay tier.

Wyll would put Arms of Hadar in S+ tier

Evocation Wizard with sculpt spells is a massive damage dealer. Fireballs everywhere and no damage to friendlies… can’t go wrong with that.

Permanent bless??? That’s broken Edit: AND permanent physical resistance? Oh my gods

Concentrated blast was great on my tav because I didn’t usually use my concentration, so it was always just already on mind reading. Great damage early, and niche tool in the box

WHY AM I WATCHING THIS VIDEO FOR THE FOURTH TIME NOW?!

Valour bard is S tier because it’s the same fantasy as the sword bard without being disgustingly OP

I can attest, my girlfriend uses Shopping Grasp all the time to devastating effect. S tier for sure.

the only downside of phalar aluve for me is that it makes me just keep blood of lathander in my inventory and never using it

thanks! :)

wait how is honour mode "extremely easy to cheat"? Asking for a friend

7 months later but idc. I agree with the longstrider placement just because I did two full playthroughs without using it because I just didn't think about it and I never encountered a situation where I was like damn if only I had longstrider here I would have lived. Those situations just don't happen so it's hard to say it's one of the best spells when you have other crazy shit that's much more impactful.

Wait wait wait dual wielder should be at least a tier as you can use them on mages who can benefit from getting two spells affixed to two non light weapons so I can have more freedom with leveled up spells and abilities? Right? One could organize a whole unique build around a dual wielder mage. Shouldn't that make it S tier?

Are you saying some races are better than others?

What is the butterfly icon you have on a few characters, that you seem to press in order to move?

I genuinely have never used mage hand. Maybe once on accident.

Hello, could you leave a list of all the equipment you carry? You said very little and only mentioned a part of the armor lol

Monks have big dpr (and reliable DPR like if they rolled 1s on all their damage dice they still do 190ish damage without extra actions) They have crowd control (reduce the size of the crowd) They have damage mitigation (killing an enemy is mitigating future damage) Being serious for a moment you can use flurry of blows (push) to do bug damage and still boss people around.

a weakness of faerie fire is it hits all creatures, not just enemies. it's good but because of that I would knock it down to B tier personally

I literally cannot play anything but lolthsworn drow

Monk is S+ tier because you only really need one level in monk and an elixir and any class suddenly becomes a melee monster. Running 1 monk on my abjuration wizard and this is my favorite character so far, it's so much fun.

Pretty sure Disintegrate doesn't destroy the loot. It's still available on the pile of ashes.

Literally destroying everything in Honor mode with an heavy melee setup. Throwing Barbarian (he is NOT a B tier lol) Battlemaster Warrior and a Pure Smite Paladin are monsters. In Honor mode doing burst damage make difference. Killed the Inquisitor in 1 turn lol. Plus i got the Gytanky sword from the Patrol early. Melee class are king in BG3 imo

Is mourning frost a two handed weapon and falls under great weapon master if you are not a halfling, gnome, etc

Honestly, I saw a lot of mileage out of Displacer Beast. Especially the Rapheal fight. In my Critical Mode run, I chose to play as Astarion and went into Thief. The two bonus actions allowed me to basically port Rapheal out of the fight while I dealt with everything else. I expected him to spend like 5 turns to get back, but nope, he just stood there. And it kept me alive in many other situations as well. Id place it in A tier at least.

LONGSTRIDER GANG ACKNOWLEDGED 🔥

how would the shield 'absolute's protector' interact with warding bond? it might be better than 'swires sledboard', as it protects from magical damage (but does this apply to redirected damage too?) which is arguably a greater threat than physical damage (especially with stuff like heavy armor mastery potentially nullifying physical damage outright when combined with resistances).

Okay I thought Alert was good. And then I hear that initiative is a D4 in BG3.... HOLY SHIT that change everything...

I'm no expert in this game, but I got through all of act 1 with only a handful of short rests, no crafting, no elixirs, no scrolls with two rogues. Two bonus actions is huge to me considering hand-crossbows and the ability to flee combat if you made a mistake. If you're playing a drow, that's three attacks per turn at level 3 with no resources used and then you add sharpshooter at level 4. Edit: Oh wait, single class tier list. rogue is bad past level 4. Nevermind

Drow have always been my favorite, half drow a close second. I love my eldritch knight half drow and my cleric/paladin of lolth ❤

Repulsor pushes back everything and everyone around you. Not just a single target lol

Man, I'm tempted to give this build a try, but it does seem VERY specific. Eldritch Knight has been a strange class for me to make work.

I thought it was just me that does this. I ALWAYS have a Cleric. I decide on Light, Life, or Tempest, then I start building my party based on the type of Cleric I chose. Great video. Good job

Eldritch Blast is absolutely insane when built around it. I think I'll need it if I try Honour again.

Cull the weak not being the top of S tier (2nd place if you abuse the Equipment glitch to get Infinite free casts) is ridiculous, you focus waaaaaaaaay too much on the "damage against other enemies"-part instead of the many, maaaaaaaaaany auto-kills it creates. Your own crtieria was impact on the game and you can get that ability early act 1, as a passive, and it gets better over time. You don't have those situations anymore where an enemy survives by a few hit points, which means in return that they can't damage you and more importantly YOU DONT NEED TO WASTE ANOTHER (bonus) ACTION ON THEM.(Another criterea you brought up often. You take their actions, save your actions and that for free, not even costing a reaction. Anyone not thinking this is THE game changer is highly delusional)

Interesting build. I never found it necessary to have a pure cleric in the party. I prefer an oath of ancients paladin lore bard variant for control, healing and buffs. I think honor mode is pretty forgiving in this game though I'm curious if you have a stealth assassin build go-to. I find them extremely powerful in a party.
