There's a ring that lets you cast shadow blade, which is a spell from dnd of the same name. I guess they didn't make it an option for wizard since shadow blade has a reputation of being the backbone of a few very broken dndttrpg builds.

So fun glitch, These weapons seem to get stuck on characters, if it’s a Druid no problem just shape shift and it’ll fix itself. But I have a weapon stuck on shadow heart and can’t remove it. BUT amazing trick you can go to any trader and just continuously sell them that weapon and it will never leave your character but you continue to get all the money. It’s like having infinite money lol try it!!!

I don't know about anyone else but doing the permanent trick then equipping the flame blades is 100% crashing my game every time. I think the newest patch might have borked this unfortunately.

The one thing I hate about these is that you cannot sheath them, they are always out.

I need this. It looks so nice. I held onto using the everburn blade for way to long and then changed my playstyle a bit to suit blood of lathander just because they looked pretty. Please make a list of the coolest looking weapons in bg3.

@Skillfulstone

3 ай бұрын

I honestly did the same, Everburn Blade was my main weapon for almost the whole game on my first playthrough as a Fighter alongside a crossbow that inflicts Bane (that and an over-abundance of scrolls). I gave the Blood of Lathander to Shadowheart and it basically made 95% of Act 2 battles utterly trivial (kinda goes out the window after because Undead enemies aren't as common after act 2).

@tantalus_complex

3 ай бұрын

Everburn is cool to look at, and useful early in Act 1, but I think people overestimate its power mechanically. It is surpassed the moment you find an otherwise mundane +1 Greatsword (sold by Grat in the Goblin Camp), or another +1 melee weapon if you build for it (such as equipping a shield). An additional +1 enchantment is easy to scoff at, since it doesn't sound so sexy. But mechanically, it matters a sizable amount in the big picture. Even if you don't dip that +1 weapon in a candle, other source of fire, toxin, etc. for the +1d4 damage, the +1 to accuracy is adding enough extra damage to compensate on its own, and then you have a permanent +1 damage, as well. _Missing_ enemies drops damage output hard. Having said that, the Everburn Blade looks so cool that I often run with it far longer than is optimal and I'd never fault someone for doing the same.

@Quandry1

3 ай бұрын

@@tantalus_complex the +1 is actually fairly over rated. The best that it can do is actually break even. but realistically it doesn't. Literally the only advantage you get out of it is the +1 to hit but the guaranteed damage for those hits is the same, with a good likelyhood of burning blade doing more. Enemies in Act 1 aren't that missable unless you insist on doing GWM on literally everything. That's when you are going to drop your damage output considerably. Otherwise the slightly less accuracy but slightly higher damage output is going to mostly balance them out if not work slightly in burning blades favor. This is because for each 1 extra hit you make from the +1 attack, it's going to be made up for within a few hits of the burning blade, and the +1 attack is only adding 5% greater odds of hitting. yes it'll turn a 45% chance into a coin flip for you. But if you are hitting 90% of the time without it then that 5% is not doing much for you. what this boils down to really is use the Burning Blade if a basic +1 is all you got access to. Cast Bless on the person for more of an advantage than switching weapons will actually give you and the best of both worlds, AND you won't have to waste actions dipping anything to do fire damage to your enemies. Trade them both out once something better comes along.

@@Quandry1 A 1d4 is never going to be make up for the DPS losses incurred when whiffing entirely. Yes, it depends on your difficulty level. If you play at higher difficulties, enemies get bonuses to their AC. The higher the enemy AC, the more value is provided by that +1 to hit. If you invest in GWF or Savage Attacker, yes, it gets closer. But then just take a +1 weapon and dip it. If your combats are lasting so long that the 1d4 outpaces the +1 damage and +1 to-hit bonus (which is questionable anyway), then it is worth spending a single bonus action to dip a +1 weapon - or, even better, prep it before combat. Combats rarely last more than 2 rounds in an optimized and prepared party. Bless is indeed great, especially when pre-cast. But once you hit level 5, Spirit Guardians is going to net higher impact to party DPS (through direct damage and crowd control via the speed debuff and magic item effects, like Radiant Orbs) - unless you're up against Shar's gang. Plus, you don't have to concentrate on Bless when you can grant it through healing while wearing the Whispering Promise ring. But having the Bless condition up doesn't negate the value of a +1 enchantment, especially once you hit the Mountain Pass and especially on Honour Mode.

@Quandry1

3 ай бұрын

You are working for a logical fallacy. Assuming that the damage has to be made up in individual combats and it does not. The balance is over lots of combats and lots of damage rolls. 1d4 averages 2.5 damage which means 10 damage in 4 hits. The same amount of damage that you get out of GWM, and GWM is in fact balanced around this long term balance. Much higher damage on individual hits brought down into balance by the large number of hits you are actually going to miss by using it in many cases. On top of this. Those 4 hits happen even faster once you get up to the point of extra attack at level 5. Which boosts you up to an average damage of 5 per round when both attacks hit, which is going to happen almost as often as a basic +1 weapon. So even if we take off the 2 damage from the +1 enchantment you are still highly likely to be doing 3 extra damage on any given turn. This is going to more than make up for the few extra missed attacks for such a small attack bonus difference. Dipping for your bonus action has other uses depending on your class. Including potentially other attacks, rage for increased damage on every attack, or even healing as well as attacking. people bring up the Bless on healing often but they do not bring up the fact that it is short duration and thus has a high cost in constantly needing to spend resources on healing to keep it up. It's a nice bonus, particularly at higher difficulties, but it is only that. A bonus, not a reliable cost effective strategy in many cases. The healing bonus also tends to ignore the fact that the concentration version of bless tends to affect more people for much more cost efficiency in a lot of cases. A cost efficiency that can potentially make up for Spirit Guardians. Spirit Guardians is strong but it requires positioning, and may require some enemies to kind of work with you to get full effect out of it, luckily there is a decent chance that the enemy AI does play along on many enemies. But it's base average damage is only 12 per enemy and requires a level 3 spell slot which is potentially taking up healing resources if you are using healing to keep bless active. This means there is potential for your other 3 party members to make up for this damage through more of their own depending on the situation and may end up being a better option, partly because Spirit Guardian's greatest strength is against large numbers of trash mobs that are close together (just like fireball ironically but Spirit Guardians lasts potentially longer for a single casting). And yes I am aware that Spirit Guardians can have damage type synergies such as with radiating orb. But there are also a lot of indirect synergies with Bless as well. Most Notably the fact that GWM becomes a lot more viable in a lot more places for it's extra damage, which greatly makes up for the damage loss of not using Spirit Guardians. At the same time it can make Sharp Shooter more viable on a different character in more places. The combinations really kind of get to the point that it gets hard to calculate the full usefulness of a full duration concentrated bless because of all of the possible non-direct synergies that are created within the full party over arguing for a single characters increased damage. Which is also true for many support characters and their spells and effects. it really depends on each individual scenario and there is no one good overall rule to follow between them. Both are highly viable.

That would be a cool thing to bind with eldrich pact. I made a build around the shadow blade ring you get from Arabella in act 2.

This looks cool, really wish we had some up-levelled content / dungeons to warrant these tricks! By the third run, even in honor mode min-maxxing feels scummy because all the standard item drops are already so OP.. Barely using any potions / scrolls / elixirs other than health potions.
