I layer spike growth with hunger of hadar for extra damage, and when someone walks out, I use eldritch blast to push them back in

[Kailokel]

I started BG3 having never looked into warlocks much in my D&D campaigns. After trying out your warlock builds, they've become my favorite class. Love these!

[aloythedeer]

ThankQ, just completed my first ever Honour run with ur guides, i used Wyll as the Origin character and used ur guides: Nature Cleric for Shadowheart, The Best Ranger for Astarion & The Best Fighter for Lae'zel. Was alot of fun seeing how everything plays into each other :3

[ticky]

So many warlock builds I've seen, and the lack of times people take Slow or Mire of the Mind (for free Slow) is crazy to me. Such an underrated spell. Truthfully I never used it my first few playthroughs, but once I finally did I found out... its amazing. Lower AC, cripple movement, limits to 1 move/turn, biggest AOE area, can manually target 6 people and lasts for 6 turns. Win the battle before it even starts lol

[snakeman]

Heh. "Fear" as a panic button.

If you choose to become an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal, there's a pair of gloves you can purchase that add bonus force damage on critical hits, but for Eldritch Blast, they instead cause that beam to hit (and crit) twice.

I remember during my first tactician run (before Honor Mode was in the game), I was dreading the spider fight in act 1. At this point I didn’t know that the brood mother could be moved against her will, so I was pleasantly surprised when I casted eldritch blast, and sent her flying down the cliff to her death lol

[geek]

Watching this as a new player whos a 3rd lvl cleric has made me want fo reroll, seem simple to follow and isnt as complicated as cleric imo. Great guide

[aratakeneikawa]

Was really busy the past few months. Now binging all the videos again. Great videos as always. Keep them up!

[lued]

I feel like the non-Fiend subclasses are in a really weird spot in this game. I only run Wyll as Fiend because that's his canon Patron, and you actually interact with his Patron a lot, so it's hard to ignore. So, with that in mind, I would only run the other two subclasses on a Tav, but that also feels weird because it makes them mostly mechanically redundant with Wyll, forces you to split all of the good items, and you don't get Patron interaction at all.
Edit: I think maybe you should have mentioned 2 levels of Paladin as another multiclass possibility. Smiting with Warlock spell slots is absolutely cracked. That definitely makes you play more like a Paladin than a Warlock though.

[Noobgamer]

I recently made a warlock that was 4 levels fighter and the rest warlock so that I could get 3 feats and stack crit chance. It was probably not the best but it was super fun and crazy high damage

[TheGuardian]

Thank you my friend this will be extremely useful 😊 Keep up the good work your builds really help me to both kick ass in the game and overall really enjoy it.

[Aventerra]

Hey, thanks for making this build videos and explaining the mechanics. I am terrible at these games and it's my first time playing so this helps out a lot.

[jejo]

Great video! I did a slightly alternative build with 12 levels of great old one warlock; I think that this character more than any other subclass in the game (outside of swords bard) benefits from band of the mystic scoundrel. That, combined with pact of the blade gives you the opportunity to cast 9 bonus action 5th level hold person’s/monster’s per day, which was really fun because those spells normally are so costly to cast.

Using pact of the blade, 12 goo warlock with the final lifedrinker invocation to add to your melee damage made for a decent martial character with really good cc capability and a lot of different things to do on any turn, which was a lot of fun.

[MrOldero]

you releasing this the day after i started a new game with warlock is so troll lol

[stevendoll]

Absolutely love your videos! They are so helpful and the format is great! Would love more detail on the gear, but what you already include is great!

[plain_simple_garak]

I propose a drinking game for "This is the best spell in the game"

[elgenkommer]

I can't bring myself to make Wyll a goolock, because we meet his patron... I have a similar problem with Shadowheart and her deity. The rest of them... well I don't think their subclasses really define them as characters. In some cases I don't even think their classes do.
Anyway... I think the fiend-lock will work fine in the party I'm contemplating.

[lastivanavea]

Thank you for keeping up the build videos. Ur the best! <3

[daltonjenkins]

I would love to see a full party build centered around darkness. Maybe everyone takes two levels in warlock, or maybe some get blindness immunity from gear?
