My Overpowered Knight/Scoundrel (SPOILER)
Finished the game a Few times now and out of all the classes Knight/Scoundrel is leagues ahead in damage, Mobilty and Survivability

300% crit damage, nearly Crit chance capped 96%, Hit capped 125%.

Auto attacks hit for 18k other abilties around 20k, Strongest source attack is around 50k.

3 Crit gems in Amulet for an easy 36% crit.

Hot head for 10% with hit rating to

Excutioner for 2ap proc on kill

Andrenline for another 2ap

Lone Wolf for higher base stats and 6 starting Ap so 1st turn can use about 10 ap.

2 High range mobilty spells from Warfare and Scoundrel (You can also use blitz and Battering ram) so technically 4 but the extra points in scoundral give u more movement.

High Health from Picture of Health 3% per Warfare point.

Stacked Strength and Wit nothing else needed! Until u hit 80 strength cap and Crit Cap, then stack health :)

I'll Attach a screen shot :)

I'm all shiny because i chose to become the next Divine :)


I would expect this to be nerfed as it is was way to easy to clear Tactian and required no cheesing or anything, just pure warrior mayham :)

except that you going to have one rune slot now
Zanarkand Sep 21, 2017 @ 9:13am 
The weapon did have 1 rune slot to start with, then a patch came out and now i have 2, was pretty damn happy for the extra damage XD

Honestly, warrior does seem to just destroy stuff on every difficulty. I paired mine with polymorph and I'd imagine a pairing with rogue would be pretty great too.

Hey there! I'm brand new to this game but definitely intrigued by this build. I am hoping to have a playthrough that allows me to roflstomp while also having access to abrtering/thieving for maximum playthrough potential (don't plan on replaying a bunch of times). This seems like the build for me.

Can you go into a bit more depth about how you distributed stats/talents/etc and their progression?

Hey, I sent a friend request - if you don't mind, wondering if you could share some more detail about the build progression

Warrior and Necromancer are overpowered as hell. Must fun I have with Mage-scoundrel. Granted, you won't crit for 5k, but you can get off some nice 1,5k-2k instastuns AoE. Plus, you get to abuse all the teleport strategies.

A little late to the party, but I also would like to know about the build progression.
Iry Oct 7, 2017 @ 5:07pm 
Hahaha. Does this thread mean you'll stop bragging about your character in other threads? You've done it at least three times that I've noticed.

Claims to be OP.

Not using best 2H weapon ingame. Screenshot doesn't show stats. Uses LW because /fail.

Here's a non-LW build (not bothered to optimize it):

The Mow-Man Cometh:

Does flat 6k+ damage due to crit chance plus heals you a little:

These lone wolf builds... n00bs.


Hint: it's not hard to break the math in this game. Especially if you're using the Lone Wolf Crutch.

Edit: here's a 10 second switch into LW to show just how easy base damage of 18k is -

19k base plus it gets CLEAVE... Yep, that's 27k, 18k, 9k all at the same time... from a basic attack on three targets (note: cleave appears to be broken here, oops):

So, yeah. Not exactly hard to make a char better than OPs in under 10 mins converting a non-LW char.

This is what I and it seems most people are rolling right now. I wanted to make a pure necromancer caster but it jsut doesn't seem viable because Necromancy doesn't mix with other caster classes which is a bit crazy.

They need to address their horrible physical/magic armour system as its basically ruining a lot of builds and making pure builds insanely broken. Scoundrel and Warrior mixes so well because both deal physical damage. Its just completely borked system from the start.

That 104 strength is impressive. Even with the lone wolf perk bonus doubling your stat that's still a extra 24 str from the gear and runes. You have to have the plus str stat on each rune slot.

It's really not. My char had 100 instantly and I was using gear specc'd for non-LW sillyness, including a helm & pants that buffed wit / leadership, items that prevent charm, rings that added magic skills etc.

100 is basically default for a level 21 2h char, non-LW once you swap to LW. (Hint: he had 60 as a non-LW char...)

1. My post was to showcase my hero and guide people.
2. You're still weaker, all u have is cleave with not even max roll
3. Max strength is around 70-80 in LW around 40 from gear
4. An epic 2 socket lvl 21 is still better then your lvl 20 3 socket
5. I beat the game with 2-3-4 people multiply times, nothing wrong with LW (Lone Wolf) had a blast with a friend doing it.
6. Nice armour 3k...seems u sacrificed it for damage and still aren't stronger ,while i have 10k.
7.Nice lvl 0 account

For Viewers of this post ,from Boik our kind commenter "Uses LW because /fail." " These lone wolf builds... n00bs." " non-LW sillyness" Creative insults at there best. Completely subjective this is a post to show my hero and help others for a LW run, take your negativity else where .

Even without trying to min/max everything the game is extremely easy with lonewolf. I just don't understand what you gain by doing so in a single player game. There's no competition and only the limitation of how the npc were designed. Mostly because of balance toward ''normal'' build.

Larian could go ahead and create an npc that hit you for 500 billions damage and none of your broken build could defeat it. Or they could make that npc scale in power in relation to how your character is build. So the challenge of a fight would be absolutly unchanged no matters how weak or strong your character is.

I just don't understand the ''pride'' you get from this.

How can you guys play with your inventory so cluttered? Also, why are you so poor? 400k gold? LOL.
