What kind of builds are you looking forward to in Patch 8?

[Agent Chieftain]

Right now, I'm planning out a "Death Mage" build using the new Shadow Magic sorc and Death Domain cleric, centred around using necrotic damage with the Staff of Cherished Necromancy. Will probably use it for a Durge run.

Class Levels: Shadow Sorc 4 / Death Cleric 6 / Necromancer 2

Final AS total (gear, feats, bonuses): Str 8 / Dex 18 / Con 23 / Int 20 / Wis 20 / Cha 16

[Big Iron Enjoyer]

Gonna run a DUrge playthrough as a Hexblade Warlock. Just about done with my current playthrough and I'm already eager to hop back into it.

Pure Arcane Archer (maybe 1 Level dip on Rogue at level 12) if the Arrows really recharge at short rest. Seems to be powerful and versatile like an improved Battle Master for ranged.

The new Paladin Subclass that gets Spirit Guardians without the need to go Cleric. But probably Paladin + War Cleric is still better than the new Paladin Subclass. But at least it will be the best and a true tank.

Or Hexblade, not exactly sure how I will build him, maybe 2x Paladin, 4x Champion Fighter (for crits) and 6x Hexblade, so the Hexblade Curse triggers often so you can raise Minions (at best) and frighten every round + smites and action surge + spell slots that recharge on short rest + second wind + lay on hands + 2 weapon feats + 2 feats + two handed weapon + heavy armour + Charisma instead of str / dex + misty step.

But yeah also thought about Death Cleric + (Darkness/Storm) Sorcerer instead of Sorcerer + Warlock a permanently twin casted Cantrip sounds interesting.

Just the new classes TBH.

I think my first run will be;

Giant Barb
Shadow Sorc
Drunken Monk
Hexblade or Death Cleric

Glamour bard, shadow sorc and death cleric look the most fun to me.

[Ababinili]

I've it VERY clear:
Durge shadow sorcerer
Shart death cleric
Wildcard star cleric (idea: swaping him for Halsing, then Jaheira)
Wyll beastmaster. (No, he wont be new subclass)

core idea: i've an army!!!!


i mean:
-Omen hound
-Beast companion
-Cleric's Plannar ally
-Druid's summons (elementals + druid and the tree-man)
-Us
-Shovel
-The cambion from the rapier you get as a reward for Wyll's quest

A Swashbuckler and Sword Bard multiclass. Peak class fantasy.
Other than that a normal Bladesinger looks pretty fun too.

I've been thinking about doing a 3-way between Hexblade, Swashbuckler and Battle master.
