The BEST SIMPLE WEAPONS in Baldur's Gate 3 - Honor Mode Tier List and Guide

Great vid as always! Im new to this kind of game. Do you plan to do a vid how different iteams work with other iteams? I learnd a lot from your vids. great work keep it up!

Am I stupid or did you not cover the duelists prerogative in the rapier list??

Flails WERE real weapons, the idea that they weren't is a myth. They weren't common but plenty of weapons were specialised and uncommon.

It’s shocking to me that people have such strong feelings about tier lists that it requires commentary on appropriate social behavior. Please behave with decorum.

Thank you so much for these. They are such a help to determine what is worth picking up and using.

The weapon from the MORNING Lord not being a MORNING star just k**ls me, Larian failed me so much on that one (luckly the mods fixed this)

I used titanstring + club of hill giant strength the whole game in my (recently completed) first honour run. Was a sword bard and by far my strongest character. Really carried the run.

Did you switch to the previous mic?

one other downside i might note for the shadow lantern - which i dont know whether its a bug or by design - is that the shadow isnt capable of climbing or jumping. it cant go up ladders, vines, etc, and it cant cross any sort of chasm, i dont recall whether it can go up stairs but regardless theres a huge amount of terrain that it just cant cross and gets left behind in. its honestly really annoying and imo with that in mind its mainly useful to toss it out for like 1 encounter, maybe two if theres very little distance in between, then forget about it, which is a shame since its such a cool summon

I use the club of hill giant strength a lot, but never to fight. It is wielded by the character of lower strength to allow him to jump better and passed around if needed. Normally, it's my scout, usually Astarion as Ranger/Rogue who carries it most of the time, helping him to jump, gather more loot, move heavy things and so on. It's also useful when sniping with the same character, using the titan bow to get advantage of the extra damage fro strength. But, when things get close and personal, I have much better finesse weapons.

you should have called it the "glizzy gladiator" build

Just finished my second honour mode play through, in part thanks to and in part because of your continuous detailed presentation of the many fun mechanics in this game.

(Party was a swords bard archer, a GS ranger/AS rogue/fighter, an abjuration wizard and an Elk Heart Barbarian/Fighter/Monk.)

for what it’s worth in the Deva Mace, I’ve gotten it recently on PC with picking up the body and swapping the weapon from another character, no controller shenanigans. But yes, multiple methods for sure!

I always have Shatterd Flail weapon for sale. ; I'm automatically scared of items with obvious downsides.
I will try to implement it in some build now. Thank you. <3

how did I not know about that salami build I need to check that out

On the salami:
I am picturing a barbarian screeching like a chimpanzee and yeeting salamis in enemies’ faces, blinding them, and laughing hard.

reg loviatar scourge. which character actively wants to hurt themselves

Great stuff as always man! Even though I'm currently between BG3 runs, I just love listening to your tierlists while doing miniature painting... gives me so many ideas for future builds.

Oof my brother in christ that audio is going on a journey lately 😂 so sorry your computer decided to retire :(

Torch is insane =)
Thanks for a video

I honestly thought the salami-slinger video as a April fouls day thing 😅

Huh. Shattered Flail probably would've been good for my gnome Druid. Then again, it's a mace, not a club.

Man, you're killing me. Sussur rhymes with looser. You can hear the narrator say it if you pass the skill check in the blighted village.

I've still never played with a throwing character. Aside from abusing Tavern Brawler, when is a thrown weapon for a Strength-based character going to be better than giving them a Heavy Crossbow, or even the Titanstring Longbow?

Hope the stress isn’t too bad and you’re doing well.

Im almost never not using the hill giants strength. Increase jump distance in a pinch, titanstring bow, just an easy less managing way than the elixers you have to buy and that other characters like monks and paladins would want your elixers more

I do not believe you start with a torch and I do not think there is one on the nautiloid - unless I am missing them?

CONCUSSIVE SMASH 🔨💥✨️😵

Charge-bound war hammer?

Ritual Axe + Amulet of the Unworthy sadist build when?

Hey, I may have missed this … have you done swords? I saw Bows …

The funniness of the Salami alone should justify a slot for it in S-Tier but I can live with this 😂

Could you make a video about camp casters. One that gives optimum level 12 builds for the optimal three camp casters?

You forgot to mention the one downside of torches which is sometimes it will light flammable surfaces on fire if you walk over them while simply holding one in your hand.

On the topic of BG3 content: i did really enjoy the spellblade wizard build guide, and would be very interested in more modded character builds. Some of my favourites that i recently played with are the mind weaver and elementalist, so i would like seeing your take on how to build these classes. The mind weaver seemed largely balanced to me, whereas the elementalist steers more on the power fantasy side, but both had nice custom skills and art, which deserve mentioning

The moment I saw “salami” in the tier list I was like, “Let’s fucking go!!!!”

beat enemies with your meat.....

Flails were real weapons, historically. Especially the two handed versions that were used as modified farm tools. Commonly depiction being used from the back of war-wagons.

God, getting the Blood of Lathander near the end of Act 1 (you can still do the Grymforge after, if you're feeling ballsy), is when the power curve really starts to "into space."

Also featured in the power curve: Dual Eldritch Blast, 3rd level spells, and the Zaith'isk parasite bonus action.

I'm not sure what's going on with the Ironwood Club, but when my wife and I did a co-op run, I played a Gloomstalker Life Cleric with a Druid dip and used that club with the shield that reflects damage when you have Shillelagh up and it would regularly hit over 20 damage per swing.

Please I’m begging you when you finish your summary at the end to move your mouse off the chart. I’m trying to get clean screenshots of these.

I love this kind of long-form in-deep ranking content for strategy games.
Though I'm, on my farthest game, still not even done with Act 2 on Tactician, when I finally am and starting my Honor Mode play-through, this will be enormously helpful – and probably all tier lists will hopefully likely by done by then.

I loved content like this for Civ 5 already, helped me become more competitive in MP. BG3 of course isn't competitive like that, but Honour Mode would otherwise probably be very hard and frustrating.

Edit:
Formatting. YT has - x -, WhatsApp has ~x~, Discord has ~~x~~, ....

Not related to the subject of the video, but your mic in this video is slightly worse than in the previous ones (maybe you are traveling or something, but just saying in case it's a setting thing)
Thanks for all the BG3 videos, your knowledge helped a lot to get back into the game to try out honor mode!

I had no clue you had made a salami build, I need to watch it immediately!

Most important thing you missed about salami is if you dip it in fire it tastes really good.

Sickle of Booal is a must steal because you can get the permeant buff for your party by stealing it before making a deal with the red cap.

Not that it really matters but you forgot the Morningstar it’s slightly better than the reg mace
