It took quite some planning, but I think it worked out quite alright! I just love that he got 666 hp! Haha. Feels a bit cheesy but it's on point for him.

This is so methodical. Most fights I see rely on large burst to take him out quickly. Really cool to see a different approach to Raph. Good on you!

Alternate title: "Bullying The Devil In His Own House" :D. Great fight, as always. Sucks that the cleric of war charge insists on going before second action attack (like from Haste), though. Looks like pairing it with a damage dealing cantrip is an absolute must.

Thank you! I was giggling when I used Sanctuary and Sleep Potion :D

I've noticed in the past, if you kill enemies with cull the weak, most of the time it does not trigger the elixir od bloodlust. I don't know why. But in order to make sure to get it, you need to kill them without having to trigger it (or turn it off before, bit that is so much wasted damage especially in the endgame).

Good day ! Magnificent, very competent fight! Thanks for the video! However, it seems to me that Warlock is strong with his blast. And for this, a great build would be 2 level warlock, 4 level warrior, 6 level sorcerer. At the same time, if you pump up your critrate and get gloves from the merchant Sarevok, then on average the blast damage per attack (3 blast shots) will be about 130-150 damage. You can make 4 such attacks per turn. Do you think this is not too imbalanced? Critrate 15-20+

Thank you and very glad to hear that you enjoyed it. That does sound like crazy average damage indeed and it also sounds like it would trivialize a lot of encounters. Have you tried it out?

@@FriendlyLich Yes, I tried this build. It requires the Staff of Sparks (Act 1, valid until Act 3), Mantle of Power (Act 2, valid until the end of the game), Knife of the Undermountain King (Act 1, valid until the end of the game), Orin’s Knife (Act 3, until the end of the game) , Risk Ring (act 2, until the end of the game), Eversight Ring (act 2, until the end of the game), Bow for crit rate (taken in act 3 from a merchant in the lower city, valid until the end of the game), fit for crit with magic, fit from warrior for crit, you can wear Sarevok’s helmet or hood for crit rate (but not necessarily, there are enough crits). And most importantly - krater gloves (bought in Sarevok's chambers from the baalist merchant. This build is simply a hurricane! Damage, survivability, the ability to keep enemies away from the character, control, a sufficient number of cells. I choose "Vigilant" as the second feat for the sake of increasing initiative, extremely the right fit for this build.
