BG3: Stealth Archer is a Perfectly Balanced Build

If you use a mod to increase max level... shadow monk + rogue + gloomstalker or hunter is insanely fun

Halfling to reroll critical 1s could be nice for this

You don’t need to roll 16 to crit. Gontr mael is 1d8 dice roll so you only have to roll 4, so 50 percent of the time you crit.

This is insane... but I think this way of playing the game is a bit "forced" and not balanced (considering you're playing a turn based game)... but the game allows you to play like that, so that's OK. 🙂

Nice vid

Thanks for the build !!!

So how did you get here build wise or was this just a late game respec?

Ok, loved this video.. but I need to know why you picked Assassin sub-class over Thief..
Everyone always says the bonus action at level 3 Rogue/Thief is better than the other 2 subs.. so I know you went over the build, but you didn't say why on Assassin.. ok, thanks..
By the way, you narrate beautifully.

These hot reverbed whispers are making me feel some type of way... ☺

Cool

with no exploits?

So there are really no enemies in BG3 with Truesight or See Invisibility? That's wild

Very well put! Fun narration, subscribed!!

Oh... what's this? A meme mistress playing BG3!? Yes, please!

Milady, you are wonderful. I will show this build to my wife. Thank you.

Great video. Super funny, and fun to watch. Great editing! I know this took a lot of work, but it was well worth it, and brilliant!

Wanting to use this with a poison build. Planning on using items like Broodmothers Revenge, Poisoners Gloves, and Derivation Cloak.

As someone who doesn't really like turn-based combat but is putting up with it in BG3 because the game is so good overall... this is amazing.

And I still havent finished Act 1. I have the worst case of altitis.

Isn't invisibility unnecessary for this build? I thought hiding did the same thing as invis, and since invis doesn't grant any sort of bonus to stealth checks, it seems hiding would get the same outcomes as invis

Did I hear free foot pics?

How are you flying with your Ranger/rouge?

I don't know you and this is the first vid I've seen of you but I'm not even one minute in and I already know you're an absolute memelord.

Darkness and Cloud and Invisibility = work in build?

such great content

Isn’t better sorcerer lvl 7, 3 rogue and 2 warlock…

You can do all that by yourself

It's possible to date Your voice?

Sick build guide! ❤

Was wondering what your gear setup would look like starting from Act 1 and going into act 2? 🤔

Instant subscribe just for your voice, and I stayed for interesting content, thanks

My most recent playthrough went with a deep gnome stealth rogue. Very similar idea, but using melee instead of ranged. Level 11 rogues get reliable talent so they can't roll below 10 in any skill they're proficient in. No more nat 1s on stealth checks. Final level goes to warlock, great old one. This unlocks hex, which is very powerful. You also fear on crit. And you crit all the time.

Starting with 8 str, 17 dex, 12 con, 12 int, 13 wis, 14 cha.
Urchin background, proficiency in the 3 dialogue skills and perception for terrain checks. Expertise in stealth and sleight of hand.
At level 6 rogue you can get expertise in 2 more skills. I picked deception and perception.
Stack crit boosts in 4 different slots (helm, mainhand, cloak, bow).
Feats I used are savage attacker as well as ability improvement and weapon master, putting dex to 19, wis to 14 and unlocking longbow proficiency.
Use Ethel's hair/mirror of loss to boost dex by 3 more points for a total of 22 dex.
Both of Olin's weapons, Bhaalist armour, bonespike gloves, dead shot bow, covert cowl, shade slayer cloak.
Disguise self so you get to benefit off Corvid Token permanent slowfall and the shapeshifter's boon ring.
Use ring of shadows to cast pass without trace, then swap to strange conduit ring.
Keep a candle in your inventory so you can dip your weapons pre-fight.
Loviathar's love is extremely powerful with this build, because you're invisible anyway, so the downside of being at low health is negated.
Between Loviathar's love, permanent advantage and those crit bonuses, crits are basically guaranteed.

With this buld, you're good with dialogue and perception checks and your stealth is insanely high. You can't roll below 10, so no nat 1s for any of this.
Deep gnome racial is downright broken with this build. No other race compares.
Because of the armour and gloves, you ignore resistance to piercing damage while anything that doesn't resist or is immune is instead vulnerable.
While the focus is on melee damage, you can just as viably use your bow.

It's not balanced - it's overpowered.

I went solo in Honor Mode with the same build. One of the best crit builds

How do you feel about using the graceful cloth armor since it gives you advantage on dexterity checks?

Thanks for the video. This will be my next build for sure

you don't need to wait till actiii for advantage on stealth if you're willing to become an ugly little gnome...

man, this vid was entertaining all the way through but the end (the brain) reaally got me lmao

Huh... I don't have an option to pick urban tracker.. I have bounty hunter and ranger knight

I am still amazed at how many possibilities this game offer, it's so fun
great vid btw, loved the tone and humor

I’m going to follow this for my honor mode run. Just got to act 3 wish me luck

The fact that Raphael can't see invisibility is beyond me, lol.

Thais buuld is better with halfling or florest elf??

So Morgana, do you put the fireworks into one box? You can't drop em all in one turn right?

the John Cena build frfr

Do you have 10(20) turns for each combat, while greater invisible lasts? Or is there other trick to shoot non-stop?

I was about to mention putting the rest of the levels in Bard, but that would only manage to get you to a level where you get the normal invisibility spell and therefore would still need the companion.

You could of course go hog wild and go Wizard for the last levels, just to be able to learn scrolls and then find a greater invisibility scroll, so you can learn the spell yourself. But then you lose out on the extra damage from Fighter or Spore druid.

Hehehe... Dix saving throws.

Its genious
