Baldur's Gate 3 (PC, PS5, Xbox Series) [no open spoilers]

[CarltonJunior]

I wouldn't want my Shadowheart to be a lesbian, but I was playing as a male character

Elle is a more badass character than Shadowheart though. I'd pick her in a fight definitely. Shadowheart is kinda weak, but I used her as a healer.

Laezel is a better single target damage character but late game shadowheart has so many tools in her bag..

Spirit guardians/guardian of faith does so much consistent damage, you get heals, you get great situational spells and status effects, she's undeniably more valuable at the end of the game.

Karlach and wyll are the worst characters unless you multiclass, honestly

Edit: nvm, you meant ellie

Eh

I reloaded that part of the game at multiple points because they tried to talk spicy even when I was being nice.

Barbarian and Fighter damage spikes are way higher than anything a Cleric can do outside of scroll spam. Both can legit get to the point they run through a whole enemy encounter with no help from anyone else. Battlemaster might be too good because Precision attack allows for some abuse. Champion crit builds (because you are running great weapon feat) get ridiculously punishing. And of course Barbarians sans Wild Heart or whatever it's called are unstoppable.

I hear ya

but strength-build way of the open hand monk with tavern brawler = nasty work

"you get a stun lock! you get a stun lock! everyone gets a stun lock! :oprahblessed: "

plus, unlike great weapon master you don't lose accuracy for the added power. 90% hit every time + flurry of blows

 

[Primetime]

With that said, apparently the radiating orb/reverberation light cleric build shyts on all of that (monk, fighter, barbarian) but i haven't attempted it to see for myself.

excerpt from reddit

Spoiler

The idea here is simple - walking around with spirit guardians (radiant) to maximize instances of radiant and thunder damage to stack radiating orb and reverberation to the high heavens. Enemies will have an extremely hard time hitting SH, and each time they miss, they are very highly likely to be punished by the build for even more damage and reverberation. This build is designed to completely shut down melee attackers, but should work against ranged enemies too by misty stepping to them.

There's an extremely high amount of synergies among all the itemizations and spell selections for this build.

• Radiant damage => radiating orb + reverberation
• Thunder damage => reverberation
• Condition => reverberation
• Enemies missing => radiant damage + thunder damage + reeling condition => more likely to miss

Sounds like walking fukkery personified, but i was too far into my last play through that I already missed the items needed for Shadowheart. Plus, i prefer to just punch the shyt outta people anyway i'm a simple man.

Yep, Shadowheart is a walking tank, can’t get near her or past her in late game with that build

Yea Tavern Brawler is a nasty feat too. Monks built right are in the same Tier as those Barbarian, Fighters, and Sword Bards. Just wreck shop at a certain point.

That's me on this good Dark Urge playthrough

Spoiler: Additional OP Powers

Then you get the additional necro/radiant/psych damage, depending on gear it gets crazy. I unwillingly got hit with the partial illithid transformation, but now have flying for free. Also survived the Zaith'isk checks in Act 2 so my illithid powers are bonus actions instead of actions.
