Actually OP Early Game Builds For Baldur’s Gate 3

Tempest cleric with a 2 level dip in Wizard chosing evocation subclass. I never stray from Cleric with Shadowheart.

Why extended spell for blur? Seems unnecessary. Could've gone Wizard and have eldrich knight synergies. Plus abjuration school.

Why not pick Ranger for the fog cloud build?
You can get fog cloud and the Gloomstalker's bonus action hide skill all by level 3.

Do any of these builds work after the new update on ps5?

I am looking for early game builds which are not just pure cheese 😅

These aren't really builds - these are gimmicks.

this one i need to cheese enemies lol

beware with large jumping enemies (minotaurs, owlbears, clawthings), they WILL jump near you and they will break your moonbeam concentration

Dexterity eldritch knight is very tanky, has 20 ac with mage armor and a shield, can use shield spell as reactionary for 25 ac, and is tanky to hold concentration.

I was looking for a sanctuary build, thank you:)

That last build is really creative. Good job.

Tav brawler throwing barb. Your welcome.

Returning pike and ring of flinging and your an absolute unit. Build gets better as you go along making you a killing machine.

what about a dex/cha build for your main. So you face and sneak/steal with your main and all your other 3 chars can just be super indexed into killing machines.

I was thinking pact blade warlock/thief rogue I was thinking adding monk so you can do flury with your extra thief actions and wisdom is very important for your main character.

I'm thinking, with dex gloves, you can dump your dex stat and get your free +4ac from dex, Go human and rogue for your first level to get all those delicious extra skills.
Then level 2 go warlock
level 3 go monk.
level 4 go warlock

with dex gloves and your +2 and hag hair you can have 18 dex/cha/wis. that's 18ac. mage armor makes that 21 bracers makes that 23 and armor of argathys for if they do happen to get thru.

You can also use that giants club, to make up for dumping your str as well, and the int crown from the ogre means you can have a ridiculously stated character that can be your face and not require item slots that can then be used by your other characters, and can sneak/steal.

5 warlock for pact blade for charisma to be your damage stat and the extra attack. 4rogue for thief subclass for extra action and feat. 3 monk for flury, wisdom to ac. 4 ki points and way of the shadow subclass abilities.

Wondering what ya think?

Also, curious if you would be interested in building a 'super ultra multiclass' builld. I saw a guy who built a charisma build with sorc/bard/paly/warlock/cleric/wizard. I think* and then i think he went bard secrets? so he used cleric/wizard to get non wis/int spells and the free stuff you get from sorc/paly/warlock since they are so front loaded and then used bard to get the 2 uber spells.

BUT, I was thinking that a 4fighter/4rogue/1monk/1sorc/1cleric/1paly could be sick. But, I like that because all of the classes are so front-loaded, it's very interesting how much you can abuse that, by taking just 1 level in a class for the first, maybe 5 or 6 levels, to maximize all that frontloaded power, then focus on one class for the rest of the game to access the bigger stuff you can get access to later in your class. I was even thinking if you went 6 class level 1's, and then 6 levels in fighter, so you get the extra attack and still get 2 feats, while getting all that front loaded stuff from all the other 6 levels/classes.

One would think moonbeam would be a Selune cleric talent.

But they boring tho.

I don’t have an option to select Druid class like you did so how did you do it

What should be the following of each build ? Maxing the main class ?

Does the jumping build really work? I thought jumping cost a bonus action. Is it free for monks?

didnt even have the x4 holy hand grenade build

>Actually OP builds
>I pick life domain cleric for le epic extra 2 healing points in a game with instant short rests, tons of healing magic items and generous amounts of food for full restores whenever I want.

Hmm, with the last build (the jumping one), I would say once you get to level 5 to switch to 3 rogue and 2 monk. The reason being is you can pick thief rogue to have two bonus actions, which you can use to dash. So, it'd be like this:
1. Bonus action - monk step of the wind
2. Bonus action - rogue dash
3. Action - regular dash

This way you get the total of three dashes worth of movement speed in jumps every single turn without relying on action surge. That way of the fight lasts more than one turn, you can still do the same amount of jumping on subsequent turns as well. Not to mention all the skill benefits that rogues get

I gave build 2 a try. I found that they hit me with fog cloud. doing a warlock 3/rogue 1 was better as they would TRY to target me in darkness but fail to hit, meaning I didn't have to hide and Devil's sight meant I could just stay in the darkness

the game has tremendous power creep, i level to 12 before I got the last two gems and continued to walk over many foes with my insane ac and damaging attacks, this was in balanced mode. They said that they felt that giving higher levels was too much, I would say so with all the montyhaul treasures you guys gave out or presented to buy. As a dm looking at this game there is way too many magical items and powerful ones as well, just cutting them down is not enough. I mean come on facing an arch devil on his home plan and an avatar for the god of death all should be epic levels not 10 to 12.

Yes, ill respec my team now i have half items for now, just to google the rest and have some fuuunnn ❤ that cleric , fog archer and jumper would be perfect addition for my main to cheeze the game some more , ill literaly run 4 solo beasts and swap them when they need long rest 😂❤

Also i killed that golem in adamant forge with magic misiles 😂 he should be immune but hes not 😂

I'm not very good at this game and it took me a while to learn how to fight and attack, but the best group I've had was me as a Monk, the Cleric lady, the Vampire guy and the Warlock guy. The Warlock is VERY powerful.. Thanks for the great video, thumbs up.

I'm liking build 3 but changing up fighter for war cleric. Essentially sacrificing the 1 AC for war priest charges and spell slot. Feel cleric pairs much more nicely with sorc having create water along with the ice/lightning spells or any ice/lightning attacks. Having pretty much the same defence but more flexibility and choice for an extra attack seems even more OP!!! Can obviously respec at any point when you go up the levels but a cleric dip early is so strong!!! Later on, having the Blur sorc mixed with swords bard and defensive flurry with high AC would be ridiculous. You'd lose heavy armour prof, but should reach AC of 26-28 with defensive flurry and choices of equipment. Have a cleric cast warding bond and choose war caster as a feat and nothing is doing anything to you. Going 9 swords Bard to get hold monster and 3 Sorc and then using hat of arcane acuity and ring of mystic scoundrel means you can CC anything in the game, you're unhittable and have a balance between magic and melee

Fighting in this game is boring

How do you move Moonbeam without it counting as a turn?

How tf am i suppose to build this on console??? Im new and nothing in this guide was the same

You can also just pick 4 moon druids with tavern brawler that are half orcs. Most of the time ur knocked out of form, you can just shift back due to at worst getting knocked to 1 hp. You can still get got after that, before you can change, but it is rare.

Whenever I hear the word cleric . I think I'd better not admit i'm a cleric cuz patches lol

Bro with aspect of the elk you can have unlimited movement speed. So unlimited thunder jumps

the moonbeam build has a fatal weakness now, sanctuary has a 1-turn cooldown before it can be replied, meaning if your character is in range can be killed during that turn. large groups and being complacent with movement away from strike range will kill you easily. Testing this out at the goblin camp, almost died but managed to get all but 3 of them and had to run away using enhanced leap and wild shape during my last sanctuary.

Why can't i jump inifitly, Jumping costs a bonus action

Gloves of archery do not increase your damage with crossbows of any type. They only work with short or longbows.

Pritty sure you can get heldusk armour in act1 an a legendary wepon slap that on a fighter an its over 🤔🤣🤣

QUESTION: Is the Blurr Fighter something you can do to any of the companions or specific to Shadowheart ?

I'm a complete noob to this game I recently bought it a few days ago, so I'm really curious... does your race choice matter on any of these builds particularly??

adamantine shield on your blur

What’s the background for the third build?

these are actually some awesome and creative builds. I look forward to trying them

i got wrecked by the stones in sanctuary i couldint believe it

Umm, anyone know why I can't chose a sub-class when levelling up? I'm level 3 and have not had the option yet, even when I tried re-specking.

decent dude, gj

Sorry, but the Blur build doesn't work. While they were missing a lot more than usual, they were hitting at least 40% of the time, breaking my concentration, doing constant damage.
