Crit for 271 Dmg? The Ultimate Thief - The SHOVE/THROW ROGUE! - Baldur's Gate 3

- A guide featuring information on levels 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12 for a Fighter 1 / Thief 11 build for Baldur's Gate 3 that can do over 250 damage in a single hit.
Following is a summary of how to go about building from the start - note my stats were a bit off in the start of the build because these were recorded from my playthrough as I tested things (Wasn't sure if she would be getting the Hag Hair at first), but here is what I decided on using:
Starting stats:
17 Str
15 Dex
16 Con
+1 Str from Hag Hair
+1 Dex from Athlete (First Feat)
+2 Str from ASI: Strength (Second Feat)
+2 Str from Potion of Everlasting Vigor
+2 Str from Mirror of Loss
Savage Attacker (Third Feat)
Ending Stats:
24 Str
16 Dex
16 Con
Either start on a Gith, go Thief 3 first, then at lvl 4 respec and become Fighter 1 / Thief 3, otherwise if you want to pick a separate race just choose Fighter 1 for first level, then Thief for the rest.
Let me know in the comments what you liked/disliked about the video, and what you would like to see for builds in the future!
*Oh, and sorry I said non-Sneak Attack a couple times when I meant non-Crit

Here are a few others I have already made and considered making videos for if you don't have any thoughts! -
Gas Cloud Wizard
The Underzealot
Clown Hammer 40k
Way of the Sneaky Snake
Explosion Hunter
Each can do hundreds of damage a round, apply crazy effects, and have fun gimmicks.

Very good video man, that really is some insane damage!
Great find with Dolor Amarus adding so many extra instances of damage. In Act 2 you can get something similar with Sword of Life Stealing, but I'm not sure it adds to as many things (in my tests it adds its +10 twice, once to the regular attack and once to the sneak attack; I don't see it adding itself to all the extra instances of damage) and it only applies to its own attacks rather than others. I'll have to try swapping it out for the Dolor Amarus once I get there in my current playthrough!
If you're looking for crits, fighter 3 / rogue 9 might be more valuable than fighter 1 / rogue 11; those last two rogue levels aren't really giving you anything other than another 1d6 sneak attack damage (2d6 on crit), but fighter 3 would increase crit chance more. With only Sarevok's helm and 2 attacks with advantage, you can expect to crit with your good sword on about 34% of rounds (without using stuff like Killer's Sweetheart, which you only get once per long rest so it's only useful if you long rest a lot). With champion fighter that goes up to 48%, and if you chug an elixir of viciousness on top of that it's 59%, so it starts to get into the range where you can rely on it regularly.
Since you're using Bhaalist armor and finesse weapons, it might be better to max dex rather than strength, for attacking it would be just as good, and the huge AC bonus it gives you may be more useful than the shoving/throwing/jumping, which don't seem integral to the build.
Good find with the Viscious Bow and Dolor Amarus. Now I want to check whether they work for throwing as well!
The build is really interesting, and as usual the combination of items is really what makes it tick.
Unfortunately they do NOT work with throwing, but I have learned some fun throwing stuff too, which will likely be in one of my videos down the road. Though, I already have the next 3 or so picked and prepped!
Literally best video on the builds subreddit. But unfortunately I missed the offhand. But will main this. The only thing that could compliment your build that i see is the dark urge cape to turn invisible after a killing blow each round.
Is there any fun way to build a beastmaster or nah?
Hahah, 100% that cape would be great. That playthrough I wasn't Dark Urge, but certainly would be a nice, viable option! I wore Fleshmelter Cloak as a way to do more damage, even if it is usually very little, but FUN FACT! If the enemy critical hits you while you wear this Dolor combo? They actually take +14 extra damage from Fleshmelter Cloak's Acid Damage. It hardly ever happens but MAN is it fun to see people get hit for so much just for touching you. And I only got to learn about it by wearing that silly cape for an extra tiny damage output.
I would also like to point out, just because you brought it up, not in spite of you - There are sometimes minor optimization things I choose not to take in builds, in favor of fun, viable options that often showcase a strange interaction! This was one, but I DEFINITELY forgot to mention in the video that there was this fun interaction with Fleshmelter. Glad I get to bring it up now! And next video will be out soon, hope you like that one too!!
is there any other similar weapon to that shortsword? i missed it and am in chapter 3 atm @@robertplaysvideogames
@@victoru92 Nothing quite as great as it, one thing you can do that isn't so bad instead is to use Duelist's Prerogative, I was trying an Eagle Barb build that used that and Vicious Shortbow, you miss out on the Dolor Dagger in your hands, since Duelist's takes up both, technically speaking, but you still end up doing PRETTY high damage. It isn't as synergistic with Thief though as Render is.
Ty for answering to me! I love your builds! So straight up pure eagle barb?
Thanks for the build!
Respeccing coming in tonight 😀.
Where can I find your other builds? I read a few comments about them on reddit and discord but found none of them.
A few are in the channel called the Build Repository on the Discord, the rest I am planning on making videos for as well!
It’s been 2 months, does anyone know if the dmg riders still work this way? If so I’d love to try this in honor mode
Some of the ways things stack won't work fully, but it WILL still do a ton of damage. All the Willing Whip procs still go off, and those all still receive buffs from different items afaik. But, perhaps I will do a Loviatar's Scourge build for my next honour run, just to test ;)
where is clown hammer 40k?
That will likely be video #3 or #4. #2 is already in the works heheh
