Monoclass and Beginner Builds - Simple, Effective, no-Spoilers for your BG3 Journey
Hey, all!
u/Phantomsplit suggested making a post on this goodie. A few months ago, Puriti (Larian BG3 Discord mod, u/DreamingInStarz) approached me with an idea, to make builds for beginners and newcomers in mind. To many people's surprise, there are a lot of players playing on Explorer difficulties and many more who don't want to do any multiclassing. So, with her help, the idea was born.
BG3 Beginner and Monoclass Builds
The idea is pretty simple: use the selector to pick the class, subclass to load the build with progression, gear options, and a few tactics:
I did get help from multiple people on the Larian Discord. The project did result in a small burnout, which still somewhat persists till today :D But the page is great, the interface is easy to use, and you can jump from one build to another.
The goal was to make somewhat non-gear-dependent builds, where the emphasis is on - "oh I found this item, can I use it on the build", instead of - "i need this item to make the build work". Of course, classes like Clerics are still recommended to pick Luminous Armor, but this is more of a recommendation.
For those that want to dip their toes into the more advanced progression and gear choices, there are links to the most relevant builds as upgrades
I am always open to hearing your opinions:
- See an improvement to the beginner build layout, or a feature idea? Leave a message
- A build could be adjusted, feel free to write a comment or send a DM
