Progression help for Berserker

Hi everyone again. Moe here. So I was wondering it’s my last full run for BG3 and I saved the Barbarian for last. I’m a level 4 Berserker Barb (Half Orc). If I want to be as optimal of a Throwserker as possible do I continue being a mono class with 12 full levels in Barb or do an 8 Barb/4 Rogue Thief split to get another bonus action for damage output? I ask as I did a similar split when I played a Shadow Monk/Thief and it really helped in end game a lot. Obviously I’ll grab the ring of flinging from the Druid’s grove along with the returning pike (eventually getting Nyrulna as my end game weapon). Alternatively would doing a Withers respec as a Giant Barb with the same level split be more desirable?

Finished Cloak of Deception

I just wanna shoutout Cloak of Deception by James Luceno. Before that I read Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves. The pre TPM shenanigans/plots are really fascinating. I also really love how he vividly detailed the corruption in the Galactic Senate right before TPM. Seeing Adi Gallia in her element as a diplomat was great. As was seeing Tarkin as LT governor of his homeworld. Cohl was a really tragic anti hero and I loved Luminara’s cameo at the start of the book providing more exposition of why Cohl was the way he was. I just grabbed Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule. I started Maul: Lockdown and I’m also reading the 3rd Darth Bane book + Knight Errant along side The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.

Also looking at grabbing Mask of Fear + the Glass Abyss from EBay too.

EK or Arcane Archer?

Hey y’all Moe here again. I have a question to ask. So far I’m really loving playing an Arcane Archer. But I realized I have the perfect set up stat wise to make a really good EK too. Should I switch my character over? I just got to level 4 (took an ASI for that first feat). The only issue with playing an EK that I could see for me will be having only up to 3rd level spell slot access at level 12 (but spell scrolls along with having Wyll and Shadowheart in my party will nullify that). My highest stats so are a 19 in Dex, 16 in Intelligence, and a 14 in Con.

How is my level 11 Druid looking?

Hey y’all. Moe here again. I was wondering how does my Druid look so far? He’s a circle of stars one to be specific. Do I absolutely need to grab the circle of the moon Druid end game gear that is also very helpful for Stars Druids too? Or should I focus on getting my AC even higher with the armor of agility?

I’m still in the early parts of Act 3 so I haven’t gotten Markoheskir,the staff of Spellpower or other great end game legendary/purple items yet. I did just grab Nyrulna for Karlach from the circus in Rivington. Any feat recommendations outside of War Caster that I will be going for?

Netherbrain help

Hi everyone Moe here again so here’s my problem. I’m on Tactician and running my main party (mono class Paladin - oath of vengeance, Karlach - mono class Barbarian Wildheart, Shart - mono class Cleric light domain, and Wyll - mono class fiend warlock pact of the blade). To make a long story short got to the very last turn of the Netherbrain fight but lost it due to all the platforms being disintegrated by the orbs of negation (did manage to stop it somewhat with globe of invulnerability). Orpheus goes up to hit the brain down to like less than 20 HP. Wyll is downed but I got him back up. Same with Shart (she was still downed). I ended up losing the fight due to the aim assist with Orpheus getting legit stuck via my controller.

I did save at the morphic pool beforehand. Should I go back and grab as many scrolls of invulnerability as I can?

Or should I just try again, spam haste + potions of speed and down the netherbrain ASAP after I get into its own phase?

I’m pretty familiar with this boss fight due to this being my 8th run in total. I’m only doing it for the achievement of Foehammer and doing a run for every single class in the game.

For reference I’m bringing in 3 summons along with my party all having AC at or above 20.

Monk/Rogue Multi Class build advice

Hey y’all, Moe here again. Long time no see. So I’ll just drop into it. I’m at level 11 with my resist Durge run and I want some advice. I’ve gone 8 levels in Monk (Way of Shadow) and 3 levels in Rogue (Thief). I’m very mobile and very fast. Just rebuilt him with Ethel’s hag hair (Dex +1). I need advice for level 12. This is my first and only time multi classing btw. I have a base AC of 25 right now (I plan on using the mirror of loss to get my Dex to 22 thanks to the forbidden knowledge feature via the necromancy of Thay).
Should I grab Dual Wielder for the extra AC or stick with what I was going to do at first and grab Savage Attacker?

For my armor I have the soul rejuvenation armor,for my hands I have the bracers of Defense. With my boots I have the evasive shoes, one ring I have is the darkvision ring from Blurrg. I screwed up the interaction with Crusher in the goblin camp and don’t have his ring. I did save Mol and the grove but forgot to steal the idol of Silvanus to grab the ring of protection.

My two weapons are Ambusher + Sword of Life Stealing. My ranged option is the Darkfire Shortbow. My cloak is the cloak of protection. My amulet is the sentient amulet (very rare) or the Harper one that gives me advantage on wisdom saves along with a free use of Shield per long rest. Helmet that I’ve been using since Act 1 is the one that gives you momentum for 3 turns at the start of combat. Also just grabbed the Mask of Soul Perception too.

I know I probably don’t need it but I feel like the Helmet of Grit will be overkill on this build. With my short swords I’m able to put out a lot of high single target damage just with my extra bonus action alone from Thief. Is my build set up good to face Orin in single combat?
