This Build is Completely Broken in Baldur's Gate 3 (Eldritch Blast Sorlock - Sorcerer Warlock)

Ойындар

The Eldritch Blast Sorlock is one of the strongest builds in Baldur’s Gate 3 for the extremely high damage output thanks to multiple sources of damage from a single Eldritch Blast cast...

10:43 Conclusion
...and very powerful items to complement it. The build has insane crowd control by pairing Frightened with Prone forcing enemies to skip their turns repeatedly. The build also becomes strong very early on and is perfect for a Tav thanks to the super-high Charisma.
To get started, choose Warlock at level 1. Make sure to select Eldritch Blast as one of your cantrips because it will be the action we use most often. For subclass you’ll want to choose the Fiend subclass because the temporary health after slaying an enemy can be helpful early on.
For spells you’ll want Hex and Hellish Rebuke. Hex is a damage rider adding necrotic damage to attack rolls. Since Eldritch blast is an attack roll, each blast will deal additional Necrotic Damage when used on a Hexed target. We’ll want to use our bonus action to apply Hex before casting Eldritch Blast on a target for this bonus necrotic damage. Hellish Rebuke can be used as a reaction when attacked to deal fire damage. This can be helpful to finish off wounded enemies during their turn.
At level 2, you’ll want to select your Eldritch Invocations. Agonizing Blast is the best for an Eldritch Blast build because it adds your Charisma Modifier to the damage it deals, and charisma is where we put the majority of our ability points. You’ll also want to select Repelling Blast. This causes your Eldritch Blast to push your targets back up to 4.5 meters away from you. This is incredibly powerful to both keep enemies away from melee range where you would get disadvantage from Threatened, but also gives you the option to instantly kill enemies by pushing them into chasms.
At level 3 you’ll want to choose Scorching Ray as your next spell to learn. This spell hurls 3 rays of fire, each dealing 2-12 Fire Damage. This spell is most powerful when used on a Hexed target since each ray of fire will gain additional Necrotic Damage, making this your best single-target burst damage spell at this level, which is absolutely AMAZING. Amazing just like the sponsor of today’s video.
For your Pact Boon, you’ll want to select Pact of the Chain. This gives you access to Find Familiar: Imp. The Imp has Invisibility which can be used an unlimited number of times which can be used outside of combat to initiate and Surprise enemies - making them skip their turn, allowing you to sometimes end encounters before your enemies even have a chance to take a turn.
At this level you can also replace the spell you learned at level 1 with Cloud of Daggers. Cloud of daggers deals 4d4 Slashing damage in an area and is our best AOE option right now.
At level 4, I’d recommend choosing Darkness as your spell, since it will be useful next level. You also get access to your first Feat which we’ll use on Ability Improvement to increase our Charisma to 19. Getting Auntie Ethel’s hair to increase our Charisma to 20 would be ideal for this build.
At level 5 you’ll get access to new powerful spells. Choose Fireball and replace Misty Step with Hunger of Hadar. Both Fireball and Hunger of Hadar are powerful spells, and Misty Step can be found on a lot of equipment, so it is no longer needed. At level 5 you also get another Eldritch Invocation. This time choose Devil’s Sight. This makes Darkness much more powerful, allowing you to see through it but your enemies cannot. This will give your enemies disadvantage when they try to attack you while you sit in the Darkness, and simultaneously give you Advantage when you attack them. Also your Imp will now have Extra Attack.
At level 6, you’ll want to go to Withers and change your class to Sorcerer. Sorcerers get proficiency in Constitution Saving Throws which helps you keep concentration on spells you’ll be using like Darkness or Haste.

    Another alternative pair of gloves that works with this build are the Gloves of Belligerent Skies which can be found towards the end of Act 1 (beginning of act 2?) in a chest in the Githyanki Crèche. These gloves inflict two stacks of reverberation whenever you deal lightning, thunder or radiant damage. Combined with the Spell Sparkler, which you can get early in act one, you can make a viable early version of this build before fleshing it out in late game with more levels and better gear options.

    if you wear the risky ring you are doubling your chance for a crit, which is already pretty high, but makes it nearly guaranteed (50-60 % chance, over 3 attacks per action), far better than 2 extra damage or the debuf light orbs

    yeah but you're forgetting the debuff aspect of that ring. the disadvantage you'll receive will very likely result in a concentration break, and on tactician/honor, concentrating on Haste pretty much makes every enemy want to bang you hard (and i think casting a twinned haste makes them want to bang even harder). this way, not only you but also another ally will lose a turn and likely get critted into oblivion. IF you're 100% going risky ring, make sure to cast mage armor, mirror image and use shield as a reaction instead of the hellish rebuke. (and the occasional prayer to the dice gods)

    doesnt quite double your crit chance it just lets you roll twice and use the highest result. the thing here is that this happens because of the advantage mechanic. and there are plenty of other ways to get advantage. for example if youre not completely soloing the build, you have devils sight and you can just go hide into a magical darkness cloud from your cleric for example and you get advantage on every roll. its not better than the radiant damage simply because it applies on all damage rider sources. you can use phalar aluve etc. to get extra damage rider sources to multiply that radiant damage into procking several times per attack. also id like to mention that you automatically gain advantage against proned targets as well which happens very often in this build as well

Move on to act 2 and talk the Thorms to death. Then you will be level 5. The rest you get from just exploring. You get full experience from talking your way out of combat. Then can turn around and fight when you are level 5 and can 1 tap most enemies. My first full playthrough was a tact solo run.

    I didn’t understand why all of a sudden he went to Withers and respecced into Sorcerer, instead of just adding the class? then got Warlock again and chose slightly different feats than before. Then added fighter which I think is great but I was completely lost and confused by then. Care to explain? bit new-ish and the fact he didn’t simply “add” Sorcerer and basically went through leveling up all over again confused the hell out of me.

Sorcerer has proficiency in Construction Saving throws, which is nice for keeping up concertation for spell if you are hit. Most of the important abilities you are wanting for this build come from Sorcerer, but if you want the feeling of playing the same build from beginning to end then it's better to start Warlock for the earlier levels. At the end, 10:43, he also mentions you are using your spell slot to convert into meta magic points so you can cast more Eldritch Blasts as bonus actions, so you want Sorcerer levels to give you more spell slots since Warlock doesn't have as many.

Like it's better to first go for 5 levels of warlock, but once you have a high enough level and have some gear, you can change to the actual build. If you just add the class you will have 5 (or so) levels of warlock and a lot less of Sorcerer while you need only 2 warlock levels.

    I'm curious what the reason for going fighter for 4 levels is over just going 4 more levels of sorcerer. Champion fighter gives you 4 more max hp over levelups, action surge, a fighting style (which doesn't look too be terribly helpful), and 1 reduction to your critical threshold. Just going 4 more levels in draconic sorcerer gives you 4 more sorcery points, another metamagic, 3 level 4 and 2 level 5 spell slots (the equivalent of 22 more sorcery points or a way to upcast scorching ray even more), another cantrip learned and 3 more sorcerwr spells learned. I feel like the spell slots and sorcery points together more than make up what fighter offers, and I'm not too hung up on losing 4 hp. What am I missing?

Thank you for this amazing video and any answers to my questions will be very appreciated.

    As draconic lineage I picked bronze dragon, Sorc 6 allows you to add CHA bonus to damage with your element, works with lighting charges/Spellsparkler, with Potent Robe and agonizing blast you can add your CHA bonus three times to each blast (but that changes whole build a bit) Sorlock is really strong but the most broken class I found so far is monk, you go with following stats: STR 8, DEX 16 and WIS 16, CON 15, then either 10CHA/8INT or other way around, doesn't matter, you level up as monk till level 6, choosing way of open hand and Tavern Brawler as feat (and pick increased CON, that's why you start with 15), you buy all strength potions you can find, Aunt Estel has some, dwarven woman in Underdark (mushroom ppl colony) is the other vendor for acts 1+2, they last till long rest, always have one on you, in act 3 just visit all vendors, they have some as well, at level 7 you multiclass to Rogue, at level 9 (monk6/rogue3) pick Thief for extra bonus action (extra flurry of blows), last 3 level are up to you, can continue as monk, can splash fighter 2(action surge) + cleric1 (sanctuary), up to you

    Don’t go with 2 fighter on the monk/rogue build, you’re missing out on two feats for action surge which really isn’t worth it. If you get all the right equipment, buffing your wisdom is just straight up better than any amount of fighter. You could technically drop two levels of monk for fighter and only lose out on one feat, but then you lose Evasion, so I definitely wouldn’t bother. Monk 8/Rogue 4 is ideal IMO.

    If you liked Tavern Brawler Monk you should try Tavern Brawler Throw Barbarian/Thief or Tavern Brawler Throw Eldritch Knight. Nyrulna trident for the first and Lightning Jabber for the second. Your damage and accuracy are ridiculous and with Cloud Giant, Kushigo gloves and ring of flinging you just demolish everything in your way. With haste you can do up to 6 throws in one turn averaging about 40 damage a throw. So at peak power you'll be doing over 200 damage in one character turn.

Personally i wouldnt name THE best build as alot of them are pretty close together that it comes down to nitpicking, preferences/bias and situation (like are we assessing solo? party? honor mode? Late game? Early game?). I'd only name like the best build for a category. For example, i'd say the best summoner is a spore druid, typically multiclassed with a cleric.

    For the purposes of damage, the type of Hex does not matter. Each type applies a penalty that the target receives when they try to make a check of that attribute. An example is if they try to shove one of your characters. That would be an Athletics skill check, and Athletics is a Strength skill, so a strength Hex would give them the penalty of disadvantage on it (roll two dice, take the lower result). Shoving is also a contested check, where the shoving character rolls Athletics (Strength) and the target rolls either Athletics or Acrobatics (Dexterity) to resist it, using whichever skill has a higher bonus. You can right-click and examine a target to see their Strength and Dexterity, apply a Hex to the higher value, and have a much easier time shoving them off a cliff! This can be way deadlier than the bonus 1d6 necrotic damage.

As a lock with devil's sight you might also want to keep saveroks helm for a non warlock companion. So for example if you play around darkness then you automatically is always heavily obscured and saveroks allow companions to also make use of the shadow with you So in terms of efficiency I'd say for this build DJ helmet probably wins out for most cases but it does require some awarness and strategy while saveroks helm is just something you put on and forget about. Saverok also comes with the benefit of immunity to fear while DJ gives some extra con save.
