Whats your honor mode party?

[Satyr]

I am currently trying to decide between some kind of Bard Tav or Shadowmonk/rogue.

Not too sure on best companions and classes though..

[Dizzy Ladybug]

Paladin Tav, Light Cleric Shadowheart, Open Hand Monk Lae'zel, Bard Astarion, Sorcerer Gale

I left Wyll and Karlach behind

[Recjawjind]

Any charisma spec Tav (starting warlock because its v good early)
Light Cleric Shart/Astarion (because light cleric good, esp early where you can nuke entire encounters with your channel divinity)
Fighter Lae'zel (because fighter v good at any stage in the game)
Abju Wizard Gale/Astarion (as my safety net, invincible gale is not gonna die in any fight, ever)

[Giganx]

My Tav is eventually going to be a Fighter/Paladin but I'm definitely not starting as that. Honor mode is going to be a lot of respeccing to survive the early levels.

Karlach as a TB Open Hand Monk/thief for the extra BA.

Gale as a Sorc with 2 levels in Wizard for Evocation, Longstrider and learning spells.

Shadowheart as a dedicated healer/life cleric.

but who knows where I'll end up; I like to abuse respec.

Honestly, the earlygame is a better indicator of power, lategame you can break the game in 20 different ways and obliterate everything in sight, getting there (while still not hard) is definitely the tougher part.

[break!]

Tempest cleric Tav, berserker Karlach, thief Astarion and mommy Minthara as a fighter. Brute force is the way

Early game was abit harder… up until lvl 5 . Everything explodes after.

The hardest fight I had was the owlbears at lvl 3. Ethel was a joke gutted her in 1 turn at lvl 5, the bullete died before it made a move etc

[PowerElite]

I have some class mods installed but...

Eloquence Bard Gale, Twilight Cleric Shadowheart, War Wizard Lae'zel, and Ghost Slayer Blood Hunter Astarion

I think I'm going to pick up Jahira and make her a Ranger to swap with Astarion now and again.

Currently at lvl5 in the Underdark. Closest call thus far was the Spider queen fight.
- TAV is a Thiefling pure moon druid with TB. Going Moon Druid 12
- Wyll is a pure pact of blade warlock. Going Warlock 12
- Karlack is a TB throw berserker. Going Berserker 8, thief 4 I think (not decided, maybe 9/3)
- Astarion is Gloomstalker 3, rogue 2 Joltshooter/Speedy lightfeet archer. Going my favorite build Gloomstalker 5, thief 4, guardian 3 archer.

Sometimes I use Gale instead of Wyll, he is a pure evocation wizard.

I start to be more confident now as TAV, Karlack and Wyll all have 2 attacks and I gathered some decent gear.

I guess in act 3 I might bring Shadowheart or hireling cleric in boss fights for a Divine intervention party heal panic button

Interesting vid. What's the xbow you're using on your bard?

Hellfire crossbow , you craft it at the steel watch foundry without having to fight for it.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

I haven't started this playthrough yet, but when I do, I'm thinking:

Shadowheart - Illusionist-10/GOO-2
Minthara - Ancients-7/Light-5
Jaheira - Moon-7/Gloomstalker-5
Tav - Necromancer-10/Tempest-2

Nice, do you mind listing your builds? Would also be interested in seeing all your gear but that might be a bit much to list here :).

Hardest part for me is finding builds that don't have too many overlapping bis items.

Atm my party is:

Sorlock main
Lore bard controller
Cleric/
Open hand monk

Found the lore bard a bit underwhelming tbh.... the cc gets resisted quite a bit.

How did leveling go with the tempest cleric in honour mode? Found it a bit lacking until higher levels

Not hard to level - I had her level as sorc 5 first to get dual haste and that was her main job until act 3. 1 lvl Tempest for heavy armor, then 5 sorc for dual haste then tempest all the way til 11 and 1 lvl wizzard in the end for chain lightning.

Open hand monk does more damage than shadow. But shadow guaranteed me to always surprise enemies due to stealth> cloak of shadows> shadowstep> attack.

Also he could do several steal attempts as if he fails and gets attacked , he just cloaks of shadow and traders can’t find him and combat ends .

But act 3 have been a joke , just gutted Ansur solo in 1 turn lol

Honor mode really isn’t much harder than Tactician. Many of my builds just rip’s through it. My Tempest/ Sorc could solo house of grief on honor mode, so could my warlock / paladin. People are tripping too much thinking it’s hard lol

Berserker as a TAV - talks, kicks... - you should try charisma barbarian, they are just too good instead of bard/pal/rogues and etc.
Gloomstalker/ASSassin - ranged striker/ambusher/utility.
Sword bard as a skill monkey (without dialogues/charisma options) - main mage/main tank.
Light Cleric - just for act 2 - 2nd half mage, funny light orb build.
Healing is pointless, but buffs from healing + Kagha's necklace is gool to have as a prebuff.
