They are hated by everyone, even by their own teammates for taking all the shine. But who cares? Deathslingers are absurdly powerful fighters. They come online as soon as you click the "New Game" button in the menu interface in Baldur's Gate 3. How is this build so powerful you ask? A little bit of clicking through the level up interface, a little bit of optimization and a little bit of throwing things. But at what cost does such power come?

THANK YOU
Absolutelly savage build, when most martial classes pick Great Weapon Master *loweing* their atk chance to increse damage and so do Rangers with Sharpshooter, the thrower and unnarmed classes move in the opposite direction with Tavern Brawler *increasing* their atk chance, damage AND main attributes, best feat in the game for sure.
But archers have their special arrows, which makes archer classes most broken in terms of damage)
great weapon master also now makes it so if you crit you can make an additional attack with your bonus action so I take it and disable the crit decreasing effect
5:54 is when he starts talking about levels
Just started an honour run with team immortal as a template and omg, the deathslinger went online almost immediately. Fantastic!
Still trying different strategies and i would call myself a noob regarding DnD, this is absolutely amazing.
Keep up the good work!
I found you back when I first picked up Elden Ring. It was my first Souls game and I had no idea what to do, but I thought by analyzing *good* builds that people shared that I would understand the game a lot better. So thank you for that. But mainly what I wanted to say is that I'm really glad to see that you're still doing great theme builds and not just a list of classes/levels/gear like most people do.
Same here haha. 🎉
same lol
As a quick note here for those who want to stack more damage with this great build, purchase the Drakethroat Glaive at moonrise towers to add an extra 1d4 elemental damage on anything you want, as soon as you get to baldur's gate you can talk to the Djinn and get Nyrulna which already has a 1d6 thunder, and also it returns to you automatically, so you don't need the eldritch knight so you can go spores druid 2 level to get an extra 1d6 necrotic damage. so at the end you have:
piercing + 3 (cuz Nyrulna enchantment) + 1d4 on the ring of flinging + 2 acid damage on the ring + 1d6 thunder as Nyrulna passive + 1d4 elemental damage (it can be lightning if you want) due to the Drakethroat glaive spell + 1d6 necrotic damage (spores druid) + tavern brawler damage.
TLDR you can exploit this buld to do a lot of damage, amazing vid.
This is a great choice for maximazing damage, for those that don't know, You can put any weapon want on the floor, cast the elemental weapon spell of the glaive on it, and You equip it back, and the spell last until long rest
If You want to exploit this Even more, You can sacrifice the 2 levels in druid with 2 levels in fighter for the action surge, and 1 level in war cleric for an extra attack, so You have there 3 more attacks.
Also in late Game You can use the bloodlust elixir so every turn You kill an enemy You have an extra action point.
This is a very flexible build allowing You you to modify it as You want.
You should definetly keep 4 levels in fighter until act 3
How does War Cleric Help though? I'm Not super familiar with this class/subclass, but doesn't War Priest give you an extra Attack as a Bonus Action, after making an Attack with an Action? In that case, it seems useless to me, as we're using both our Bonus actions for two Enraged Throws anyway? No Front, Just a legit question
@@OogaB0oga oh, mb You are totally right, i missed that, so lets change that, what about going 1 lvl in warlock just for the great old one crit effect, so in that way we dont mess with bonus action
Nice build! I’ve been playing a pure fighter thrower and loving it, but may have to try this version out!
Started my first honor mode run this week and decided to give this build a try. It’s pretty amazing how good this is from the very beginning. It’s saved my party from wiping already 2-3 times. Cheers!
I did a stupid at the mirror (bard option, not even once on HM, m'kay) and Karlach with this build even at level 3 saved our bacon, and the run.
@@Bethgael I’m in act 2 now on this honor run and this build is still carrying my team. It’s honestly so good.
@@brianblattner861 Happy to hear that! I'm hitting Underdark next time I play him [I take long breaks between HM sessions because 1. altitis and 2 I play games to relax and I am so worried for my wee bard after Flind nixed my beloved Kronky paladin last attempt]. But yes. Karlach is SO GOOD with this build.
Another great build video! I’ll be trying this on a party member on honor mode.
when i see a new upload, instant like. just the video-edit are a joy to watch
Love your videos dude, so fun to watch. Good stuff
THX ! I have been waiting for Throwing build :-D
Once again a fantastic guide. Legit burst out laughing at the jab towards Nere, good stuff mate.
Great video Man I have been watching you from elden ring and now I have joined you happy to pay for your builds and commentary in them and great builds thanks man
Your video style is really awesome. The comedic elements especially.
Professional, useful and entertaining.... great work.
This build is legendary.. so simple and so effective.. seriously well done. Thank you!
@@baconandchicken2370 fair enough, but I learned it from this video and I am grateful for the effort put into sharing it. 😏
I prefer playing with a Duergar Dwarf because they get Invisibility for free and enlarge which both can come in handy sometimes and in Act 3 it lets you switch between the dwarf throwing hammer which always returns to you for single target damage or the trident that always returns to you for big aoe damage, that way you dont have to bind a weapon, and then i go 4 rogue, 8 barbarian, this way we get 3 feats. alternatively you can go 9 barbarian for extra crit dmg and 3 rogue at the cost of 1 feat, or if you still take fighter its better to take Champion instead of Eldritch Knight so you get more crit
this was really fun to watch!
The way you were saying "dead" in the beginning of the video reminded me of Strong Bad. That is all.
😂
dwarven thrower als works when you're disguised as a dwarf
Incredible and just the kind of ridiculous and hilarious antics I need to calm my Honour Mode nerves. 'OMFG, Phwoar, this is tough *Yeets goblin / dwarf / chair* aaaahhhh, that's better...'
Dude I’m only like 60 seconds in but I love the editing effort and comedy put into this, you rock, I’ll sub
Use Nyrulna instead of jabber and then u dont need eldritch knight, go for 2 levels of spore druid for the extra 1d6 necrotic damage, use str elixir and dump str completely, put all tht into dex/con
So many dead citizens because of Nyrulna 😅
It depends on playstyle I'd say. Nyrulna causes friendly fire with its aoe which can be annoying in more close combat parties.
Nyrulna: I heard you like dead bystanders so I killed them for you when you threw me!
(Durge approves)
(Bhaal approves)
2 levels in fight for action surge and 1 level in war cleric for 3 extra attacks when you need them. IMO.
you can have a companion who is an eldrich knight cast bound weapon for you
What would be really overpowered would be to use first enraged throw to throw a bottle of water at a target to make it wet (and maybe even knock it prone), and then spam the lighting jabber throws.
Love your builds EARLY GANG
I love the attempt to censor the boss name to prevent spoiling people but you can still see his name clearly in the text log on the right
At least he tried
love your videos and amazing segway into your sponsor, made me laugh. if honor mode is consuming all your time.........
Definitely one of the most powerful builds in the game!
Hey man i have a question for the gear. In your opinion is it worth grabbing the gloves that set your Dex score to 18 after you can get them in act 2 so you can then dump dex and put more points into Str/Con or are the throwing gauntlets just a better investment?
Awsome build by the way i am using it in Honor mode and its quickly become my favorite DnD build of all time!
Love your builds and cant wait to see more of them!
Probably not better than the gloves of uninhibited Kushigo. Though depending on your build and preferred style the dex gloves might be better. Better AC, (Can use the Yuan-ti armor in Act 2, or the adamantine) Higher Con AND higher initiative. I do like the Helldusk gloves as well. If you want more damage there are various boots and rings you could swap in rather than the caustic band.
Get them from the weirdo...that caught me off guard; made my chuckle.
Nizar, is there maybe a way you create a Dual Wielding Build for Melee Weapons not Crossbows? Would love it.
Hear ye! Hear ye!
The grand yeeter of ye ol' Baldur's Gate has returneth to the city, to yeet all evil from it and yeet all crime in the oceans!
Heaven't read through ALL the comments... but there are two major items about the returning pike that you need to know. 1. Wait for the pike to come back to your character before ending your turn. Otherwise, it will stay at your target. 2. I somehow lost the returning pike in the moonrise tower. I killed a guard and it was just gone. One thing that I think might have happened is that I was also jacking around with the floating orbs, so I wonder if I maybe accidentally threw the spear instead of an orb into the chasm. Or it is just a bug. Anyway it was honour mode, so I was pretty much screwed at that point.
Luckily, I was seventh, so I just respeced to barb 4 ek 3, used a crappy spear, and since I was in Act 2, beelined to the lightning jabber. So, I didn't really lose that much because I went barb 5 for extra attack ek 4 for the asi then got my three levels in rogue. Still was an amazing build that kicked ass everywhere.
The returning pike needs to be thrown while the character throwing it is in combat. If thrown out of combat, it will not return. Can't speak for the other returning items since I haven't played that far with a thrower build but this is what I noticed in my current playthrough. Not sure if it returns when thrown at breakable objects like chandeliers either, but the in-combat rule should apply there as well.
Nizar, have u seen the tempest sorcerer build ? Could you make a guide about it?
What should i do when i need to be close range? She's my main tank, with a cleric ranger and warlock. Should i respec with something more close range friendly?
where did the comment with the written guide go?
I’m wondering the same thing everytime I level up I come back to it 😂
@@Collinsm23 I found my copy

Knife of the undermounian king - Gith kresh vendor (for off hand)
Cloak of protection - last light inn
Late game gear
Serevoks helm - from the Bhaal fight.
Deadshot bow
Armor of agility - sold in act 3 stormshore armory.
Fay Semblance Amulet - reward for avenging survivors for hag.
Rhapsody (for off hand)
Lightning Jabber - needs weapon bond.
So i just wanna solo my first full playthrough of BG3. Probably on balanced difficulty. Would this build be good for that solo experience? Or is there a better one out there?
Honestly instead of the lighting jabber id go with nyrulna for the aoe thunder and more movement/ jump and if you are crit fishing go champion fighter
Do you think it's better to reclass from barbarian early so you don't have the unarmored defense trait?
Just a question i love playing the build and such but is it just me or does it always make the returning weapon go into your left hand; which seeming does less damage every subsequent hit after the initial? or am i doing something wrong?
great build but why don’t you use nyrulna and pick champion to reduce grit chance ?
this build DOMINATES in early lvl's
i’m playing a campaign with my coworkers but we just left act 1. we cleared the goblin camp and they unfortunately killed Arron in the grove. lastly i never saved baelen. is it still possible for me to try respeccing into death slinger without the returning pike, the gloves of uninhibited kushigo, and the ring of flinging :/ pls let me know bc i would love to try this build
I need a bit of help on this, currently doing the build and got everything in act 1, about to go into act 2, the builds regular throws only do 20 - 25 damage on average. Is something wrong? I know frenzied throws do more damage and I don't know the average damage of frenzied throw but does it really do that much more damage? Just seems like I'm missing something or something isn't working anymore?
begging you to put chapters in these videos bro PLZ PLZ
Why your build is the betst ti try. You are awesome
Hmmm perhaps fighter should be duelling then for off-hand use shield for better AC than rhapsody dagger?
Couple of notes:
1. DO NOT start a fight with your thrower with a throw. If you do, the return property does not work over half of the time, and you will end up having to go and grab your weapon off the ground after your very first action.
2. Weapons that do not have the "thrown" property listed at the bottom will do basically no damage. It will typically do 1d4 at base since what you are throwing is not considered a weapon, but an improvised one. So binding one as an EK won't really be useful if it doesn't already have the "thrown" property.
3. Do not kill with your throws from an elevated position. When you are high enough, you get extra damage from your throws, and whenever that extra damage is the cause of a death, the game considers the enemy has fallen to their death and you won't get any XP. This won't matter at level 12.
4. The Hunter's Bow is just as good as the initiative bow, or better if you're able to regularly surprise enemies. It gives you advantage on monstrosities, and Act 1 is full of that type of enemy. It also gives you Hunter's Mark for all of the times you can't rage, and you will be spending the majority of the time NOT raging, unless you want to long rest after every three fights. For whatever reason, rage charges are long rest only, which makes zero sense.
5. Prior to your end game piercing setup, the Dwarven Thrower is the best in slot throw weapon. You get the bonus damage by simply casting Disguise Self on your party member if they aren't already a dwarf. To actually get this weapon, you cannot have Shadowheart in your party when talking to the vendor, or else you won't even be able to get to the trade menu before they walk away.
What vendor is that?
He's just to the right of the teddy bear explosive house and very easy to miss with all the other npc's milling about; I don't believe he has the money bag icon of a trader so just start talking to all the human npc's in that area (leave Shadowheart at camp).
Due to homing weapon (come back whenever thrown). What class to replace the eldritch knight? Should it be 5 barb/3 rogue/2 fight (for action surge) / 2 spores druid (for necrotic dmg). Seems no need 4 rogue for bonus AC feat(dual wield) ?
Also quick heads up, get on high ground, and the weapon itself deals additional blunt damage because it landed on enemies from on high.
Huh?
Are you talking about a specific weapon or that applies to all thrown weapons? Because I've never heard of weapons dealing extra throw damage when having the high ground
@@noblesseoblige319 I've experienced that using the Returning Pike during the owlbear fight, by having my owner high up in the cavern.
@@noblesseoblige319 It's true, thrown items or weapons of any kind gain additional damage based on a formula that includes the item weight and downwards distance it is thrown. It's why cheese strategies for things like Grym involve standing on the top platform and chucking random items at him; you'll see things like a pair of shoes do nearly 30 damage.
@@Estuscancel those strategies have items that add damage riders (and riders treated as sources), which mess with the calculations. A lot. It's a bit bonkers.
I've seen literally nothing about high ground effecting damage at all, only attack rolls, and looking at the combat log confirms this. I was just at grym, having gale pointlessly throw his entire inventory, doing one to ten damage depending on the item.
@@noblesseoblige319 Idk what to tell you, it absolutely effects damage if you are high up enough. Even to the extent that if an enemy dies from this additional damage, you don't get the exp as the game considers it dying from falling damage.
just so folk know, the two shar spears are also throwing weapons, and will do way more damage than lightning jabber
Really wanting an assassin build even if not the best just for RP
So do you have videos showing where to get these items?
Slingers are good in civ too ^^
nyrulna is not better for this build ? btw graeat video again love whatching those ! new followers !
I don't really like it for thrower builds, it nukes your own melees too
I think it's better to start with Eldritch Knight than Thief. Thief only comes out at level 8, and by that time you've already done the whole Underdark and those 2 other levels of Rogue did nothing for you.
Fighter, on the other hand, gives you a shitton of defense and action surge at level 2. Even better, once you finally get Eldritch Knight at level 3, you can start using the Lightning Jabbers, which is perfect timing because they should become available right about that time, when you reach level 8.
Was scrolling through the comments to see if someone had tried out eldritch knight first instead because what you said also made more sense to me. Thanks
Do you stream on Twitch or CZcams?
Now I really want to make a Thor. With all the Lightning and Thunder gear, and throwable hammers, I think it could work.
That sounds like a really fun build, good luck when you find a boss with lightning resistance though
I'd recommend Dwarf as race, mostly so that in act 3 you can grab the Dwarven thrower from Ferg Drogher (you have to be a dwarf for the good buffs). Make sure to also grab the Drakethroat Glaive in act 2 from Roah Moonglow in Moonrise (or possibly act 1 I don't remember if Roah sells it in act 1). You can drop the Dwarven Thrower at the start of a day and use the Drakethroat to buff it with lightning (if you want).
Otherwise you just do the base "Throwzerker" build. Or if you'd like you can do a throwing fighter with 1 lvl in War Cleric.
(Basically did all of this for my honour mode and it was incredibly fun)
Wouldn't disguise self (dwarf) work, if it is just for using the hammer?@@nov1q
The Sparkle Hands add lightning charges to thrown weapons, not as optimal as the gloves mentioned in this vid, but it does fit the Thor vibes 😊
Does anyone have a better weapons alternative than the returning pike. I killed the goblin camp to quickly and couldn’t get it.
GS, awesome video, loved the memes, I'll try this build tonight, gonna throw spears an commit genocide at Moonrise Towers tonight
that's the spirit!!!
In my honor run. I’m running the Bard Paladin from your last video, Abjuration Wizard, Tempest Cleric, and Open Hand Monk for punching. What should I replace for a throwing build if I should.
Tempest cleric seems like the one that fulfilla the most similar role in your party of being the ranged damage dealer, but your party sounds like it’s good for honour mode. I did my run with a slightly different one but similar roles
Running the exact same team lmao. On tactician it is a walk in the park, honor mode do-able?
Or since Open hand monk and the thrower are both high single target damage that use str/tavern brawler, you could swap there. Really either one is OP once you get to level 4 and get tavern brawler since it gives double your str modifier to attack rolls making you basically never miss.
Definitely replace the monk.
@@migoed955 me and a friend demolished honour mode with an open hand monk/thief, sorcerer/warlock, full bard and full fighter and this comp isn't too different so should be doable
As a general point, you can get to underdark/caustic band right away: get into goblin camp, take the ladder near Minthara to get to rafters and access the door into the room with the troll boss (yes you can take the secret passage up top by breaking the wall, but that often leads to a fight). Sneak past and arrive in selunite outpost. Leave laser on, open gate and let it kill minotaur. Take the left path avoiding the two extra minotaur. Now either use feather fall and jump below to where the field of spores are; or, walk down the ramp below phalar aluve. This will trigger the bulette, but you can jump on the big mushroom thing off the ledge which will despawn it. Get past the field and you are there. Even on honour mode you can get the 1500g for the caustic band pretty quick, especially by running around collecting all the caches of loot buried and hidden around the map.
If you wait until act three to start adding fighter levels don’t bother with Eldridge since you can get another returns to you but itself weapon. Take champion to lower crit chance 🤷🏻♀️
Good point,guess he builds that way because his Bard/Paladin uses the trident you refer to.
Omg I just realized i used to watch your videos for elden ring. Man you’re amazing.
So I’m at lvl 9 and got the duel wielder feat and I can’t equip the returning pike and the lighting jabber? Someone help?
Wouldnt using the nyrulna be better for the aoe damage in addition? And you wouldnt need eldrich knight as it comes back to you anyway. Plus it gives extra move speed and jump diatance
The aoe can get tricky if you don't want to damage your teammates. Also you don't really need Eldrich Knight regardless (you can use a mercenary instead). Finally when not playing in HM Jabber works as a DRS for all Damage Riders while Nyrulna only works for some of them
@jacquesthuet6414 yeah fair point, but I'm playing with 3 other friends and honestly there's nothing funnier than knocking them on their asses in the process
Hello, it is I, the Death Slinger
Just be mindful it doesn't work against the netherbrain... pretty much one of the reasons I failed that fight was having this character and some further poor preparation
Is there any advantage in using gloves of Kushigo instead of sparkling hands with this build? Seems like the sparkling hands would give more damage?
i believe that’s only for unarmed attacks
@@mateomurphy8424they actually work with throwing build, for some reason 😅
If i did blow guy up is there a good alternative to the gloves?
Hey nizar, please make a dual crossbow build showcase for 6 sword bard 2 fighter 4 thief rogue
Christ bless you, nice to see your take on a barbarian thower build
I can’t help but wonder … are you from the Netherlands 🙂 🇳🇱
jus tnow making my build for HM and killed Aaron and the goblin camp is empty, what can I do to either still get these or replace em with something
And the bow
How does level 9 get you eldritch knight?
Great build, I have a question tho: I've been trying out this build and am currently level 4. It absolutely shreds and my other followers litteraly feel useless in comparison! However I experimented with getting a lvl 3 hireling for weapon bond and used it on the Everburn Blade you can get at the beginning of the game. The weapon's damage is higher than the Returning Pike on paper however I seem to be barely getting half the damage than when throwing the returning pike instead. I compared many throws, used Enraged throw etc, still very noticably lower damage.
Can anyone explain why ? is it because it is a slashing damage weapon, does that even matter?
Feels like I'm missing something
The returning pike has the "thrown" property. The everburn blade does not. Weapons that do not have the thrown property will only do 1 damage when thrown instead of their damage dice (2d6 slashing + 1d4 fire in the case of the ever burn blade).
All spears and tridents are throwing weapons. Light weapons like hand axes and light hammers are throwing weapons. Javelins and daggers are throwing weapons.
The returning pike is unique in the sense that it's a pike but is also a throwing weapon (pikes normally aren't). Similarly, you can find a warhammer in act 3 which is a throwing weapon when warhammers usually aren't.
@@common_undead That totally makes sense, thanks so much!
Wouldn't the Helm of Grit be *much* stronger than Sarevok's ? An extra Enraged Throw looks vastly more powerful than 5% crit chance under conditions.
1 thing I hate about throwing builds is how stupid the throw landing looks. Pretty sure the spear is supposed to hit the target with the pointy end instead of bonking them on the head with the middle of the shaft Larian.
I'm dead 😂
On Xbox this build requires you to pick up weapon like 1/3 of the time you throw it because of a bug
We beat our 4 man honour mode, only for it apparently have a bug on console and deny us the trophy. I'm disappointed , but glad to have an excuse to run it back.
the last save honour mode has is in the epilog so just retry loading that and ending it with withers
Honest question, what about ditching the last level of fighter and I stead getting 1 level in warlock (Great old one) for the mortal reminder passive? Should synergize well with crits+prone, right?
wow my Lighting Jabber dont return to my hand on the first throw when the fight initiate
she stay on my victime and after i manualy pick them up now she stay in my hand
you know why?
i pick Eldrich knight lvl3 and reroll my class for Barbarian 5 and 3 rogue because im just LVL 8
and do you think about that? thats a bug?
and WOW the damage are insanely good...
AND OBVIOUSLY... THATS fun ^^
How do you deal with the final final boss that hangs over a chasm? Throwing doesn't work there cause the weapon won't be thrown sinse it will fall forever and not return.
maybe have a ton of javelins and junk in your inventory to throw, fill a backpack with tons of explosives.
What if you killed all the kou'toa's in the underdark?
How about a team that only works in darkness (spell)?
tavern brawler and strenght elixirs are just soo broken
i will have to say that throwing got hella nerfed in honour mode because honour mode removes DRS which reduces alot of your damage
but thrower is still mega busted and high ground adds fall damage so getting really high adds alot of damage as well
Excellent guide
I've done this build, it's incredibly powerful beyond reasonable, but I will never do it again because of two mechanical problems: (1) I lost my weapon countless times -- it does not return if you switch out of your thrower before it return, it does not return if this is the throw that ends the battle and it also does not return if a hidden d6 rolls 2 (joking) and (2) the throwing trajectory is a high arc and quite often you see 'path blocked' when a bow shot or a spell would hit. First is more important, I've lost my returning pike and had do always throw Nirulna, because I noticed that too late and it was in one-time access zone. Nirulna is great but its AoE is very large and I broke my party concentration with it countless times. But still this build took like 75% HP from finalest boss, so it's still the MVP.
But I have a question -- why do we see several crit numbers from one throw? It's damage rider or source fixed in honor mode? I played this build on a simple Tactical, where I though the insane damage of the build is just because DRS.
I stopped making throwing bards due to the game simply bugging out. Weapons just not returning to me
I have noticed, that the weapon never returns, when you use it before entering combat. This happens with a returning and/or bound weapon. For that reason i always carry a 2nd throwable weapon.
yes always start combat with a javelin or smth@@CyberTom1965
what if i used Ethel on someone else already? where to put the remaining points when strength stays at 17? any recommendations?
When picking the Tavern Brawler feat, you get to pick a +1 in Strength or Constitution. Thats where you get the +1 Strength from 😊
@@jimmy15001 Oh that makes sense, thank you.
Would add that DRS are not as prevalent in honour mode,so while still a very good build, it is not nearly as OP as shown here
Sadly I'm an idiot that decided a while back to attack the entire goblin camp and the trader fled so I guess I can't get the Returning Pike. Sigh
why level strength up so high when you can just use strength of the hill giant and use the stats for something else? interested in trying this build but wanted to figure this out first :)
It's an opportunity waste for Thrower. You'd rather use your potions on Bloodlust. Adding strength potions can be too much. My thrower regularly gets over 30+ it's just not worth it lol
Could you pls make a good necromancer build :(
Why not use Nyrulna? Eldotch knight feels pretty pointless when you can just use that and get more levels in another class or even go champion to getter even better crit chance or battle master for utility.
Regardless of using or not Nyrulna you can go for Champion and have a level 3 EK mercenary bind your weapon and drop it on the floor after each long rest. Also not that when not in HM Jabber works as DRS while Nyrulna only works as partial DRS
Dang! I was offered 2.357 million, I can’t use this now.
Can you do a necromancer build? @Nizar GG
I'm BEGGING YOU
how can you give the pact weapon to your character from another character????
Have your Eldritch Knight bind the weapon (requires a level 3 Eldritch Knight) then send it to your character. Please know that if you bind the weapon, you cannot bind any other weapons, or it'll bind the new weapon. Just bind once, give weapon over to thrower, then you're all set.
What about an updated sorcerer build 😅
If you dont mind glitching the game you can find a backpack, has to be a backpack can't be camp supply pack, and open it while in the barter screen of any vendor, shift click the last item in the vendor to highlight all items and drag/drop into the backpack. You get all items for free, the vendor still gets paid and you can sell back what you don't need for money. Works in honor mode, and I have 0 honor, so I have been using it. Friend of mine said sometimes it counts as stealing, but I've used it on every vendor in act 1 and haven't been treated as a thief, so far.
