Hey everyone this is just more of a general question as I'm currently working on a dark urge full playthrough to get the achievements out the way before honor mode.

But I was just curious how hard is honor mode actually?

I see a lot of videos online talking about cheesing to get strong weapons and stuff earlier than intended. Is that something I will need to utilize to get through honor mode easier or is it more about just being careful and not rushing into fights and stuff?

Can any team build work or does it need to be optimized?

Hey everyone so I'm currently on my durge run trying to clean up achievements and beat the game for the first time on easy (custom with explorer settings and lowest values of vendor and camp supplies) and I'm trying to plan ahead for honor mode

I'm planning after this run to do a honor mode run and I was wondering what the best team comps are to have the easiest times

So my thought so far is

Me as a sorlock (EB GATTLING GUN)

TB OH MONK(probably thinking karlach for the extra fire damage when needed. Also gonna give her double correlon grace staffs to up the damage and saving throws and raphs armor if it still counts as unarmored to make her hard to hit along with ring of protection and the monk stuff )

Or Throwzerker (Karlach again)

Gloomstalker Assassin (maybe astarion?)

But I'm not sure what to do for the 4th.

I may go.light cleric since I've heard they're really good on HM but are there any other suggestions for a better team build to make HM easier?

I'm doing my dark urge run that I'm using to try to get all the achievements except honor mode.

I just made it to the goblin camp and while I got the mark before I never made it far enough to try out the absolute gear. Is the absolute gear worth getting the mark to use or is there much better gear out there?

Is it worth it to get the mark? Are there any pros or cons to it?
