My proposed name for this build: "Anyone got a spare bonus action?" - if ever there was a build you wished you had more than one bonus action!

[LeonLJ]

Suggestion: Make a full build for each new class where you don't multiclass. So now you have an assassin rogue, pact of the blade warlock and now the vengance paladin. I think it would be great to see what Wotc has done to reward sticking with 1 class.

Great video as always, Colby <3

Edit: Welp, hadn't watched more than a couple of minutes when I wrote the comment. You read my mind, hahaha <3

100% agree with Colby on the smite changes. It would have been much more elegant and far less punitive to just add language like "A paladin can only smite once per round" or something similar. No need to cut out possibilities for bonus actions, multiclassed paladin/barbs or paladin/monks.

[Pyromanemac]

I like that Monty came straight out and said that he talked Jeremy Crawford XD

[apjapki]

Fellow Paladins we are now merely only very powerful.

[Bacon_and_Busch]

Any Dex pally build has my undivided attention.
Dual wielding Dex Pally? You're my hero!

[AndrewThoesen]

Colby - it was some mysterious benefactor

Monty - JEREMY SAID DUAL WIELD GOES HARD

[WTHSERIOUSLY]

I personally think that the shift from burst to sustained will be good for my games anyway. I am a DM and burst is often very frustrating and more difficult for me to deal with or balance for. Thats just my take.

[AwesomeWookiee]

I heard the Elden Ring intro music during the freakout. Ain't sneaking that past me.
...a duel wielding build... bathed in rays of Gold!

[crazybattlegoose]

I'm using the help action to boost engagement.
Thanks for another fun and powerful build!

"Hunter's Mark is a better spell than Haste."
- Colby, 2024

I completely agree with the sneak attack idea for smites. A class feature you can use once per turn, does so many d8s per spell slot, and you can sacrifice a number of d8s to add the searing effect or the banishing effect.

It could've been so flavourful and special.

[Tylerjstratton]

As a life long Paladin main my self I’m glad that “save your slots for smite” has been opened up!

Great videos. Loved your stormlight one too.

[James-kvll]

Can’t wait for a Rogue or Barbarian build. Your videos are so well made.

[christophertherians]

2 straight classes in a row? Is this the true Colby or a doppelganger? Yove us the epic boon of true sight and we will find out.

[WTHSERIOUSLY]

Awesome build, Homelander! I personally want to see more builds like this that are more reliable and don't rely on kind of cheesy or unreliable things. Love the concept and the build. Super excited for the updates and all the builds to come.

[manandshark]

When you reach level 9, you can actually use Spirit Shroud for your concentration instead of Hunters Mark. It will give you a d8 instead of d6 extra damage, it uses your bonus action once and won't require it again after downing enemies, and it adds a slow effect on the hits as well. 😁

[TarninTheGreat]

It was wonderful meeting you at Gencon!
For anyone at home wondering: apparently Colby's Paladin Aura IRL has "All characters are under the effect of the Bless spell while in this emanation".

[christophertherians]

We know how.much you love monks and how much they buffed them, and bow you told Chris that in your opinion now sorcerer is the strongest class
I completely agree that earlobe was the correct choice for the first 2024 video, but thought 2nd and 2rd would have been monk and sorcerer, when are you planning those? Always great to see you, thanks for all the fun you share with us!

Finally at a point where I can Justify some monthly subscriptions, and I’m super glad to be a part of this community!
