Man, the Slayer form is just complete garbage

[CatraGirl]

Finally tried the Slayer form in a big fight. After it was treated as this big deal gift from Bhaal, it feels like a total joke. I do way more damage with Cantrips (let alone actual spells) on my Sorc than by using the Slayer form instead... 1-3 dmg with multi-attack lol.

Yep and there isn’t any gear or skills that makes it better .

Funny how even cantrips like Eldrich blast are made OP with the right skills and gear yet slayer form is a total joke

My Sorc does 10 times as much damage with Fire Bolt than with Slayer attacks, it's so ridiculous lol.

It's just a flavor thing.

I think the Slayer form can help on solo run. If you are film maker like victorvnv ;) you just don't need it cause you are prepared to fight and make lots of scene takes. But if you want to make usual playthrough you can forget exact abilities of enemies, their numbers, stuff etc, so sometimes some unexpected things can happen. I don't like to save/load so I prefer to have all options. For example on my current solo run I found out that if you didn't kill Masks you have to face them in Ethel fight (she summons them). So I had to manage unexpected situation. In such cases Slayer form can help a lot if you are out of steam.

Lol I wish I could make a video soloing Act 3 as a slayer but even I can’t make That big of a miracle lmao

It saved my skin during Orin duel so it's good enough for me.

You need not for this fight. You can use something like https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Surgeon%27s_Subjugation_Amulet

Agreed. I was very disappointed by this. Sure, it LOOKS badass, but its actual usefulness leaves much to be desired.

I used it once. It was worth it only to hear Minthara prattle about how amazing I was.

The whole point was when your character randomly lost control and turned into a butcher who killed everyone in a row, that was interesting bg2

[haasi]

this just in, bg3 is a great game, not a great baldurs gate game, almost as if it was made by entirely different people

[ceetee_oh]

It works a lot better when you get continuation buffs (can't recall how I did) and only use the Slay action, because multiattack is worthless except to take down someone's Unstoppable count.

But it shouldn't be. The whole storyline could be a lot more eventful and impactful to be honest. This was the one time I thought an evil playthrough would be worthwhile for sure, but I feel like it's very underwhelming compared to my good playthrough.

It's good in the sense that it gives u a second life bar. I have a bard and I think I did 60-100 in one turn, just scratching people

[BunnySuitStalin]

yay the origin that starts as sorc gets a melee ability that overall will always do less dmg than just casting basic cantrips, fml, thank ♥♥♥♥ I did not pay for this game, they build it up so cool then it's just a generic transformation that does nothing, the cape you get for murdering the cool bard(who should've been a companion) was 10x better.
