THE BEST TEMPLAR (Cleric/Fighter) Build for Baldur's Gate 3

Is there still the bug that war priest charges get used uneccessarily unless you get fighter to lvl 5 first, then mc into cleris?

Definitely gonna try this out, looks really fun and interesting! Could be really fun to go for a dark urge playthrough with this.

Honestly, found Cleric to be mostly useless when compared to either Sorcerer or Warlock. In fact, found both of those to be useless when I can have a Sharpshooter Gloomstalker and/or Fighter with Arrows of Many Targets, and also Eldritch Blast Warlock. The way the game works, full casters, or melee gish casters are just medicore.

For this built I would also recommend the most broken weapon in the game: Deva Mace
It is ridiculous 1d6-1 +4d8 radiant

Something to keep in mind about the Maneuvers is that push attack will synergize very well with polearm master and sentinel.

They come into range, eat an attack of opportunity, then you use push attack, come back into range, eat an attack of opportunity etc etc

Thank you for this i was looking for something similiar and nobody had a build like this, was just wondering any one handed sword you would recommend i just like the aesthetic more.

U got my sub bro! Really high quality content

Does Polearm Master work with tridents?

Thanks bro you've been a big help for the start of my builds.

This might work very nicely with a polearm master + sentinel feat build, where you get an attack of opportunity when enemies come into your range and it stops their movement.

Oups, commented before seeing your fighter level 5 section

If you went 6 fighter 6 cleric you would get an extra channel divinity and the ability to use that channel divinity to help an ally hit too! Just misses out on a few combat maneuvers

Ima try a 6/6 split with champion, not to crit fish more a to role play being a champion of my god

Start 1st lvl as Fighter for Constitution save proficiency

I gotta say your content for BG3 is my favorite that ive found. Ive tried most of the builds you've done so far and ive enjoyed them all. Thanks for the content and keep it coming brother! 👍

Thanks!

Is the wood elf race the reason you have 3 spells? My Human build only gets 1

I actually have a templar build going! Its an eldritch knight/tempest cleric. Its... alot of stats to manage XD but its fun.

Man, I was just thinking about how I wanted to play a martial-focused Cleric and you roll this out. Thanks!

Nice

Just want to say thank you for all the build ideas for more play throughs. So far my favorite build is 6 eldritch knight and 6 storm sorcerer, I call it the Thor build.

I prefer Paladin/Cleric, specifically Vengeance/Tempest.

There actually IS a way to lose out on the Armor of Persistence vendor in act 2! I won't spoil it but it has to do with a certain person in Last Light Inn.

eeey! my current one is fighter cleric! love it!

I just want that armor on the thumbnail lol

Thanks for the video

FYI there is a currently a bug if you class out of War Cleric into another class (or maybe just in general, I've seen mixed reports): the War Priest extra attack will automatically come online after your first attack, meaning that you must spend a War Priest charge to make a second attack. Yes, that means what it sounds like--you must spend a War Priest charge before you can use your extra attack from action surge, martial classes' secondary attack, or haste. Before you ask, no, spending your bonus action on something else does not fix this, it just completely locks you out of your second action. Hopefully they fix this, although you probably want to start as fighter here

Love this build. I've been using this on Shadowheart on my last few runs through the game

Remember you can Also Get Free Heals and 1d6 boost from a Bard, Get all the Gear you can for A Bard use the Bard Hireling set that Bard up for long lasting Spells like Bard Inspiration longstrider, You can even use Enhanced, and then remove the Bard they buffs still stick with you.

Plus Gives ya a reason to save your Healers heals and Potions, you can Also make A Hireling A Medical Potion maker

I always go back and forth on build ideas for my Tav and the group, but this looks like a steady "rock" to build around.

Homie really ditched dragonborn so fast

Phalar Aluve doesn't get the +2 bonus from dueling, however. (Weapon cannot be light or versatile.)

Ok noob question but how do you pick up the se one class? Is it Withers?

You can see the saving throw proficiency by hovering over the various stats on the right side of the screen.

For another source of damage cast spiritual weapon. non concentration, cast as a bonus action and adds an additional weapon on the battlefield. My first round as a cleric is always to cast Spirit Guardians and Spiritual Weapon.

Why is everone picking Duelling and using a versatile weapon? Defence would be better in this build, wouldn't it? But thanks for your work! :D

I actually really like rally, if someone gets downed you can pick them up with a bonus action and save your spell slots

Templar Knight is just a paladin.

I think 6/6 would be a better split. The extra maneuvers at level 7 seem like overkill compared to a second channel divinity charge and the ability to give your channel oath ability to allies. Good vid though

I appreciate the frequent "this is what I do, but here are reasons you might want an alternate way" segments. I can tell you're having fun with this game and you want your viewers to be sharing that enjoyment(of experimentation) as well. Love your vids.

This'll be Lae'zel's next build!

Multiattack has been bugged for months with Fighter/War Cleric. You need to do Fighter 5 then go into War cleric. Otherwise the game will force you to use your Bonus Cleric attack in-between your 2 regular attacks from Fighter. Which means you'll burn through all your Cleric Bonus attacks in 3 turns, even if you don't want to use them. Also, it's been like 3.5 months at this point. It feels like your example Elf should have made it to Level 12 by now. Just take an hour or two of play and actually finish him to 12, please! :)

I like this idea. I can’t decide what I want to do with shadowheart. Right now I have her with base Sorcerer to keep full spell slots and get the con save proficiency with 4 levels or war cleric. Fighter makes more sense, but I lose those third level spell slots for upcasting…

Worth noting duelist, unless the text is wrong/misleading, will not work with Longsword because Longsword is versatile. It will however work with Rapier, which is the only 1d8 1 handed non versatile weapon in the game AFAIK. Trident is another option I think (i'm not 100%, pretty sure Trident is only 1d6 though)? Trident is better for something like arcane fighter though because trident is throwable and arcane fighters linked weapon returns to hand when thrown. There's even a legendary in the game that fits exactly into this but that is a whole other video.

I thought of this combination before, but never quite pieced two and two together what subclasses should be used, you know.

second

daBest!
