Hey guys I am still doing Baldur's Gate 3 builds so check out some new patch 7 stuff on the channel or the playlist here!

I feel like Sanctuary is a slept on spell. Casting that as soon as you get into battle, Shadow is untouchable. But the time the 10 turns run out, battle is usually done with.

[blakebethel]

This is almost identical to my build, and I felt like an innovator till I saw yours. I really have never had a unique experience.

[ElricBrightsoul]

So i have a playlist that i add guides into. (BG3 guides only). And I'm extremely strict with it. But with how amazing this is I put it in that playlist!.

[waltermitty]

this is super helpful, thank you man! i'm not personally too keen on wizard, and i forgot to grab the headband of intellect before advancing to act 3, so when i respec'd i impulsively decided to take 3 levels in monk, to take advantage of unarmored defense with the wisdom modifier and give shadowheart a little more melee options outside of a weapon attack-- and it works absolutely amazing. bless every time i heal of course, and the dip into monk has given me insane mobility and 21 AC with supporting build items and no armor, although if i wanted to i could double monk melee damage with a drop to 18 AC by swapping 2 items, but considering this is a support build i'm sticking with the high AC. you're totally right about there being so many options to choose from for clerics when you're trying to round out or buff a build, lol! again, props and thank you, picking my way through this build has totally opened my mind towards making a non-tanky support tav, and getting more strategic with my starting ability points, which i've never really wanted to go after before

Awesome build and video!

There is a variation where you go 6 levels of Swords Bard and 5 levels of cleric. You basically loose Heroes feast but gain a lot of martial prowess and bard shenanigans

[Crozyn]

This build is a revision of my pure life cleric Shadowheart build I made in the past. It's a better demonstration of the build overall and a fantastic build to use for honour mode. If you have any builds you'd like to see let me know!

[HoruMalachy]

The only problem ai have with tbis is that taking that dip i to wizard makes all spells from worn items and illithid powers use your intelligence modifier for DCs. You should respec, putting wizard first and then Cleric so that you get the benefit of your higher wisdom instead.

[Mike-rh]

A dedicated healer should really consider devotees mace for the healing aura, especially considering it does radiant damage. Other than that, great and powerful build, the only true healer in the the game alongside Warden of Vitality Lore Bards and Ancients Paladins.

[King_Lelouch]

thanks this is awesome, not sure why ppl shit on healing, just a different way of playing the game

[buyamiracle]

Great guide!
Where can I find Scroll of Conjure Elemental?
and did you use Divine Intervention in your run?
Thank you <3

[diskuslars]

Great Build

For the Weapon i think fE the Blood of Lathander will be better ..you dont really need the Str...and maybe take Sorcerer for Consaving instead of Wizard, so you can take Warcaster for Proficiency and Advantage

Especially in Honour Mode where Haste is nerfed

What are your thoughts about this?

Which extremely important spells does Wizard let you learn?

What do you think it performs in comparison to a Life cleric/Lore Bard 2/10 with Warden of Vitality?

[kristianolesen]

Loving your build but I automatically pass on any build that wants me to grab wizard to get spells above first level. What should I do instead of that dip? I'd rather go sorcerer dip for con proficiency if the goal is to get the shield spell.

[Mystra]

Great build using it just fine in Honor Mode, my party is overall really strong though

[Azarich]

Maybe the scroll of summon Deva is nerfed, I tryed to pick it up with different characters and its always lvl 6 insted of 5 like in the video

[NikoFromVault]

Hey dude, i have a question! Im trying to get all the camp gear, but i haven't found the one that you have on Shadowheart. Do you mind telling me the name of the camp clothes?

[Pvrmidd]

I’m making this build rn I was looking for a healer build !

[Human-]

Good video, will you do dragon dogma 2 build video when it will, come out ?

[FRESTR]

So I was wondering, how do you wind up preparing more wizard spells? So far it only lets me prepare 1 spell when I multiclass

[NEBULAVORE]

Will there be builds dedicated to other companions too?
