What have been some of your takeaways and must haves?
Lost the first one to w’wargaz as I thought I could do it without a throw barb ( could not ) Cut to him summoning 3 swords at every party member. That dude is no joke with the legendary actions.
Started a new one playing as gale. Died early but chose to continue for practice. Ketheric was next trouble. He seems like a multi attack check. If you’re not aware every death within 40 feet of him is a new undead aoe birth. Dual crossbow thief warrior for crowd and oathbreaker for single target damage. About to go against the aspect and semi dreading it.
Only cleared about half of act 3 in the past, but plan to finish it with this gale honor practice save.
What have been your key takeaways from honor mode? Any must have builds or gear for your personal playstyle?
It’s been a good step up from tactician feeling different but not overly bs imo.
My take away is that my 2H fighter with high and resistance thanks to Shadowheart has made Honor mode very easy. I’m halfway through act 3. Haven’t come close to TPK. Also stealing everything with my vampire bro helps considerably to gear up.
Laezels been in that role for me with the githyanki gear. She’s still falling occasionally.
What’s your go to 2h weapon?
Also I went Eldritch Knight for my fighter. Shield has saved my ass so many times I couldn’t justify maneuvers over it when I was already dealing decent damage and tanking like a hero of old!
I was using the watchers guide for a while, then Larethian’s Wrath for most of the game. Recently got the Giant Slayer. It is a beast.
