Armor of Agathy

[Aralys]

Why i allways lost the Warlock Spell Armor of Agathy when i didnt lose concentration One hit and its gone

it still is a smart thing to do to play bg3 like you do in the tabletop, where you have an insane paranoid plan for situations that will probably never happen-- like having the perfect setup for if you get in a fight with a lich on top of a 600 ft tower during a blizzard or whatever.

so like genuinely, if you can make use of it, good on you. if some optimal strat for some very weird thing that you are doing requires you to pull out AoA, ffs make a video about it I would legitimately love to hear about it. I'm also upset that quite a few of the warlock only spells are just, not good. Like even in the tabletop we get like, hunger of hadar and shadow of moil and eldritch blast and that's about it. Which like, those are spells worth taking warlock for, but yeah compare it to spirit guardians yknow?

We aren't even freaking close. Why does wyll start with two of the worst spells I have ever tried using lmao

Meanwhile me, a white dragon sorcerer who has a robe that gives him free AoA :)

I actually did try White Draconic for AoA. I quickly realized it wasn't the best temp hp spell. And I wanted +Primary fire dmg instead. Better robes too.

Gale with robe from act 2 has free AoA till long rest, it's very good for him I think. No other better robe anyway other than Potent one.

I used that robe too. Until I got the Potent Robe. Then my chick had +10 dmg with Fire Bolt. Still meh, but better than +5.

I do 21 damage on average with firebolt as a fire dragon sorcerer, and thats without the hat

I'm a leveled Scorching Ray guy with the gloves, race ability, hat, and Risky Ring. Then I have tons of options for my Quickened spell. That is one primed Sorceress.

But yeah, 1 cantrip per turn is my bare minimum effort.

Scorching Ray is hte most basic common spell. I am conservative with spell slots and dont want to spend every turn using it. 21 dmg on average fire bolt cantrip is very good.

I agree. I don't like resting either. I go through many fights at baseline power. Then I have 3 bigger fights where I'll increase firepower. There are only a few fights where I'll go maximum power - and only because I don't want them to act even once.

But when you want to put on the serious hurt, upcast Scorching Ray with Advantage is a great option. Body blow! Body blow! Crit!

Don't you guys know we are coping with a typo here. In the player's handbook AoA was originally called Armor of the Wastefull Neverpick. A Warlock needs some utility cantrips, maybe Blade Ward, EB, maybe Hex, Hold Person if available, Hunger of Hadar, Counterspell and - if fiend - maybe a good old fireball, and shouldn't pick inconsistent rubbish (AoA) with its 2 (3 at higher levels) spell slots. As someone pointed out correctly: AoE control > AoE damage > Single control > Single damage. Even junk like Hellish Rebuke is better than AoA.

Run it with Heavy Armour, and The Abjuration Wizard. Upcast it. And run into combat, and provoke opportunity attacks.

Amusing, but then again, if you are about to short rest and you still have a warlock spell slot left, then casting AoA suddenly becomes a pretty reasonable thing to do. It's totally free if you are about to short rest anyway.
