New Subclass Item Synergies?

[Chaosolous]

What items do you think will synergize best with the new subclasses, if any?

Hexblade's Booming Blade having thunder damage so Reverberation gear will work well with it:

Then combine with Coruscation Ring and maybe Luminous Armour to add in Radiating Orb stacks that will trigger more reverberation.

Then divine damage from say Callous Glow Ring and maybe Moonlight Glaive for even more applications of Radiating Orb and Reverberation.

Elemental Weapon concentration spell attuned to Lightning or Thunder for more reverb triggering.

The only issue will likely be when thunder damage from Reverberation kills an enemy. It may not count as you killing it and may not to trigger Curse/Accursed Spectre summon.

Potent Robe would work too instead of Luminous Armour of course.

Unfortunately Reverberation gear would have synergized much better if they didn't balance Booming Blade so it can only be used once per turn. :p


Another thing i'm thinking of using in Patch 8 is Shadow Blade (which is no longer a concentration spell and is now a normal spell) with Mental Fatigue items and giving gear sets above to another character, except Potent Robe:

Shadow Blade:

Mental Fatigue:

Then try to work in some other synergy I haven't looked into yet.

The good news is, there's already Bladesinger equipment mods out there, as Bladesinger has been out there as a mod for a while.

This is also true for the Hexblade, as well.

BTW: there is confirmation at the BG3 Wiki about new spells also, and I figured I'd mention what's there. Scroll down to "New spells".

Booming Blade cantrip is coming, we all knew it, Mystra's already has it.
Bursting Sinew appears to be a new "corpse explosion" cantrip.
Shadow Blade's going off the ring and becoming a spell. yeah.
Toll the Dead - very nice, but another cantrip already in Mystra's.
Staggering Smite is NOT a new spell, however, in vanilla, it's a (lvl4) spell only enemies normally can know and use.
