Your favourite builds

[pankomanteli]

I just finished the honour mode and once again the game is 100% completed. So I wanted to ask what are some of your favourite builds/party setups that I could try. I am open to anything really as I just want to experience the game again

I love a rogue/bard multiclass, personally. It's just fun :)

4 rogue (thief)/ 2 warlock (The Great Old One) with "Devil's Sight" and "One with Shadows"/ 6 fighter (champion) with Dual Wielder. Weapons and armor are everything that boosts crit.attack and drink Elixir of Viciousness. With all that you can crit when you roll 15-16 or higher. Very important items for this build is "Risky Ring" and "Dark Justiciar Helmet". Have fun). Oh and race is Half-orc for another crit boost

Paladin. That's it. I'm a man of simpel tastes. Divine Smiting the avatar of Myrkul in one turn back to the abyss he crawled out of never gets old.

I loved college of swords bard, extra attacks like a fighter and shartloads of useful spells.

That honestly sounds hilarious. I've played 4 campaigns total but haven't played a paladin run yet so that sounds like a fun option.

Well, if you do a whole lot of gear stacking exploits, the 2/10 Warlock/Sorcerer "Sorlock" build is a very strong one. You can't make this optimal if you play the dark urge though, you need a robe Alfira gives you to make it work. This build though can give some extremely powerful eldritch blasting and do over 100+ damage per round easy once you get it rolling. Play it as a human for shield prof and you're golden.
For further info:
Blue or bronze blooded.
Get the electric staff that gets you lightning charges for hitting with cantrips.
Get Alfira's robe and agonizing blast.
And there's a few other gear items that add to that damage on certain conditions.
Maybe even do Warlock/Sorcerer/Cleric with the Tempest domain to abuse some other combos...

If you're not gear cheesing though:
7/5 Paladin/Warlock melee warlock is a good one. 3 APR and nice smites and has eldritch blast options.
2/10 Paladin/Bard is a strong contender.
7/5 Rogue/Ranger with archery style and dual hand crossbows is a damage machine. Only contender for consistent ranged damage is 12 Fighter Eldritch Knight with tavern brawler thrower with a bonded weapon. Doesn't need use/day or short rest stuff to give out good damage too.
5/7 Paladin/Sorcerer is a decent combo. I'd probably opt for the Sorlock instead for this party though.

Those are my favorites. Though for best performance for parties, you probably want a cleric along for this too. Maybe a druid. I had considered a 7/5 Cleric/Ranger or Cleric/Paladin with the war domain for 3 APR as long as you have warpriest charges, but I haven't tested the viability of that one and warpriest does have the issue of running out of resources quickly if you nova it.

I'd like 5 characters, because I'm enjoying a go building a ranger, probably be ranger/rogue/fighter in the end.

Trouble is, Eldritch Blast Warlock with Twinshot Haste is just too good, and I don't want to leave out Lae'zel cos she's awesome, or Shadowheart. I wouldn't mind leaving out Gale, 'cept is CC is just needed from time to time.

[Humpenstilzchen]

My favourites so far are fightarian berserker champion (5lvls barb/4 lvls fighter, rest barb) with tavern brawler and gear that improves throwing damage, open hand monk also with tavern brawler optimized for unarmed dmg and spore druid.

I am super happy with my life though :) I happen to be on a holiday now so I have time to play and the honour mode wasn't that hard for me as I play on tactician normally.

Thank you for the very detailed list! Warlock/sorcerer does sound an interesting combo to try and wild magic sorcerer was one of my favourite runs. Thanks a lot! :)

10/2 Bard/Paladin is something I enjoyed a lot. You can get a very nice 30 AC on your own without much effort or concentration. With just a Helmet of Acuity, you spell DC can reach more than enemies can hope to save against. Lots of spell slots for lots of smites. There is a Schimitar with an aoe attack which hits everything around you, always fun to hit 5 people and cast 5 smites in 1 turns, while also having a second attack.

Something else I really like is Paladin/whatever with Savage Attack and GWM. They can reroll every single damage roll, it's ridiculous. You always do almost max damage.

I appreciate a Cleric with Zevlar's gloves and the "something Promise" ring, which allows you to give Blade Ward and Bless to the whole party for two turns with a bonus action.

2 thunder cleric/10 storm sorcerer - you dont need anything items wise, it has great longevity, good single-target, good multi-target, good aoe, good armor class, escape and many more. only downside is weak early start due to the fact you'll need to start with cleric first
