    I ran the similar build but I swapped out absolute force ring for coruscation band every once in a while for tougher fights as it basically makes you uber un-hittable. Every magic missile gives 2 radiant orbs debuff on the target ( - 1 to attack roll per orb) , so you can easily get a lot of targets to - 6 or - 8 to their attack rolls each turn.
    You need to be illuminated to meet the criteria in applying the radiant orbs but it’s as simple as just casting light on your weapon after every long rest.

    If you wear the helldusk armor, when you respec to wizard you don't need to do the 1 lvl dip into cleric, allowing you to go lvl 12 in wizard and get another feat like spell sniper.

    One slight recommendation I'd make at char-gen is: drop your charisma to a 14 (+2 from the class bump for 16 total). It'd have the same modifier as the 15+2, but let you get your Dex to 14 for more AC & Initiative (or your wisdom to 12 while keeping the 15+1 Con).

    • @TheTeucer6
      @TheTeucer6 Před 3 měsíci +2

      At the very least you should move those bonus ability points around to get 14 dex and 16 charisma. That way you get another +1 bonus to dex without sacrificing your charisma bonus. Always try to avoid odd numbers in your ability points, since bonuses are applied at each even number.

    Great build. Any idea if the corruscation ring works with it? I.e. would it apply 2 stacks of radiating orbs per hit of MM, if so that would be pretty insane. Also it’s worth noting that once you finish House of Hope in act 3 you get the helldusk armour which you’re always proficient with regardless of class meaning you can go straight 12 levels in wizard and get another feat (ability improvement for +2 INT would probs be best for extra damage). Then you would need a new helm too since Baldurans is medium armour, I reckon that storm hat that gives you arcane acuity whenever you deal Thunder damage could be nice as you’re dealing thunder damage through Shriek and Reverb (not sure if they will proc the hats effect but worth a try)

    The beginning bit of this build I actually have part of on my sorcerer, except I have a lightning charges/reverberation build. Same hands, but cloak of thunder with reverberation, the lightning necklace to use lightning blast for call lightning or lightning bolt depending on the situation (I had to go far into Druid multi class to get call lightning and it sucks because I wanted chain lightning but wild sorcerers must not get it at level 7 or less so I keep scrolls of it). Then once I’ve used my lightning blast I switch my necklace to extra shot of magic missile. I also have a lightning charge shield with a lightning aura. Unfortunately I’m about to finish the game and I do not have boots to finish my build so I have the speedy lightfeet even though I rarely ever dash. By the time I had the money to buy everything I was in Act 3 and couldn’t go back so if there were better boots for my lightning build I could not find them.
    Why not just choose storm sorcerer, you ask? Role-play. It’s also why I dual -classed Druid, and it was just a nice bonus that call lightning came with it

    Is this possible on Honour Mode with the changes to the damage rider triggers? I suspect at least two of these magic items won't be triggering multiple times for the same effect, but others like Spellsparkler and the reverb gloves should still work? Either way it looks like fun and a good use of the spell. It looks like it "feels" better than the OHKO Witch Bolt build I'm using now since MM can't miss unless shielded/CSed and it is flexible with where the missiles can go. Missing on Witch Bolt is very disheartening...

    Markoheshkir is a straight upgrade over Spellsparkler. It has same effect, but also provides u with arcane battery (free cast of 1 spell with any spell slot). Also Rhapsody may or may not be an upgrade over Spellsparkler/Markoheshkir. It gives u flat 3 dmg, while staff gives u ~1,5 electric dmg + ~0,8 thunder dmg from reverberation per missile, need some testing. Very sad that u didn't mentioned these items.

  • @shakyrob6512
    @shakyrob6512 Před 17 dny

    Not sure if the effect from the sword would be still up once activated if you swapped it out. So maybe the staff swap might be better. But it should be noted that there's the legendary staff from the mage tower/shop and the hidden purple quality one in the House of Hope. Both let you cast a spell without using a slot.
    With them the limited 1 6th level spell cast becomes 3. The purple quality necklace restores a spell slot of all levels. The green one is only up to level 3 spell slots. But that's 4 casts of the best spell level. Then of course mages can restore a spell slot out of combat. So 5 casts of a 6th level Magic Missile before needing to long rest.
    There's also the gloves that allow cantrips to be cast as a bonus action. You would need the spell slot of course.
    These items would hamper the buffs gained by the other armor pieces AND swapping items in combat costs an action but it is worth noting for speed potion junkies or folks multiclassed into fighter for the extra action slot... Which also has gloves that give a second use of the one skill that lets you rest your actions once.... I'm forgetting the name.

    If possible i would hand off the phalar Aluve (and boits) to another character. Let your caster hang back since we're pretty much purely doing ranged attacks. You can do wand and shield or dual wield wands and also can focus more on caster gear as i think you have a lot of gear thats contested by melee users.

  • @Kasiarzynka

    Regarding War Caster, and before I forget. I think War Caster + Resilient: Constitution + high Constitution on its own is crazy in terms of keeping concentration up. My spell casters with these two pretty much only fail concentration when tripped or whatever, which probably could be remedied if I cared to check every last piece of gear and try to synergize them.
    Edit: ok that's crazy. I'd really love to see some boss fights with it 😂

    Nice. In my game enemies are much stronger than in Honour mode and are difficult to hit but hit more often and with more damage, so many of the so called "Honour mode builds" don't work that well. But this build might because MM always hit if not shielded. The only problem is that I have randomized loot, so items are not reliably available but I got lucky and achieved already the MM amulet.
