Check out the best Bardadin build in the game (in my opinion) : kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIOnydijma2-hps.html

Thank you! Takes forever to edit but I feel like it's worth it! :) Thanks for watching!

Gotta commend ya on this video. It's the first of yours I've watched and it is markedly different than most of the 200+ build vids for BG3 I've seen. Like the way you laid out the build by acts. Most of the vids just show some guy blazing through the Levle Up screen and then some Act III fights. The hardest part is not what you can achieve at end game but actually levelling your character through all 3 acts. This really laid it all out in a clear, concise manner. I'll definately watch more.

Used this build in several playthroughs. Love it.

i love how he puts what gear to use in each act sick vid

Imma try this out on my Durge run. Thanks for the video. 👍🏾

@@WhipDarling nice. Draconic? I did a Sorlock EB Blaster and it was pretty fun and cost very little resources. The only thing is if you’re going to do a full evil run Durge you should take advantage of the specific gear you get which is good if you’re dealing piercing damage. So I did a Rapier Warlock Pact of the Blade Duelist. The thing that sucks with Durge is you have to kill someone at camp. You can exploit and kill the dragon born instead of Alfira to get the Potent Robe. Which is like mandatory for a EB Sorlock. I wonder if 10 Sorcerer (fire Draconic) / 2 Wizard (for sculpt spells) would work? You lose a feat + Draconic Fly, but you can metamagic some pretty strong fire spells along without worrying about friendly fire. But an evil Durge probably doesn’t care about that 😅😅😅

Dumping str really is the pro strat in this game no matter what you’re doing. I feel like the world of BG3 should be largely made up of juiced up super-people with the amounts of hill giant elixir around.

@@matunusdonnerhammer3423 I don't do weird single class dips usually because I'm not that intelligent. I do the more obvious ones like 9/3 barb fighter splits because they're very clearly signposted well to mesh with other martial classes.

Cool combo for gith only, you can you use diadem of arcane synergy and the gaint slayer sword from the dragon the sword double dips your strength like taven brawler (but only for damage) and arcane synergy adds your wisdom to melee attack which deal higher damage than basic monk hits. Open with flurry of blows topple to prone the enemy then you have free advantage on your melee attacks. Also monk have special animations for great swords which look sick as.

The Club of Hill Giant Strength that you can get from the Arcane Tower in the Underdark is also a good option and it can be equiped on the off hand if you wanna save potions for other characters

While I think this is better than elixirs, I'd still rather dump CON instead of STR. You can use the amulett for 23 CON and raise your STR to 24 with the vampire blood potion and Shar temple.

Lightning monk nice 🙌

What about Karlach - they are not patched extra 2d4 fire damage on unarmed attack after using soul coins? If not, she is not that worse than Astarion as monk. Second - I think that taking extra fighter class(2 levels )is a very solid option for armoured monks(only speed will decreased), and you can use shields for extra AC. And I think that one ASI to wisdom much worse than action surge and option to use any equipment.

Great video, thanks a bunch for making it. I do have a question: if I respec Astarion, will that keep me from finishing his companion quest for some reason? Or is it only an issue if I'm actually playing him as my main character?

hi, i've been using this build for like 3 days now and i just got to act 2, the build is insanely strong and really fun, my question is is Yuan ti really better than graceful cloth? because the only thing that really changes is that you go from 18 AC to 19 AC but u kind of lose the double dice on stealth checks and you also lose 5 mts per turn, the iniciative roll is not really necessary because you pretty much attack first every time so i'd like to know what u think about it

I only use 1 barbarian level for the CON (use amulett) to AC bonus and the ability to use a shield. I still think you should take 3 thief rogue levels, because to extra bonus action is just too powerful for this monk to skip.

How does sneak attack help with open hand monk? you cant use it with unarmed strikes

Why half wood elf and not regular wood elf? What’s the big difference between the two?

There is a chest piece that you can purchase in act 3 called fhe armour of agility and that is a better version of the yuan-ti scale male. I was able to dump all of my points into wisdom and have a 21 ac so not to bad

I go gith and get all medium armor from the start.

One way I went was 5 levels monk 3 levels rogue(fast hands) 2 levels fighter(action surge) 2 more levels monk for the Ki points and rest of perks with it. Gives you a ton of opportunities to attack and when you add a haste before the start of the fight it gives you a even larger opportunity to attack more I didn’t feel confident in my ability to find enough Elixir of hill giant strength so I focused my stat on strength wisdom and constitution grabbing the gloves of dexterity to keep it at 18 at all times and the headband of intellect to bring my intellect to 17 to balance everything out besides charisma been dealing a ton of damage

hello theres no way to benefit from the sneak attack from rogue bring unarmed right?
