Baldur’s Gate 3 | OVERPOWERED | Melee AOE Specialist | Wildheart Barbarian Build Guide 

Thanks for the video, didn't know about horde breaker! Think the build would be even sicker with Berserker 5, Ranger 4 and Thief 3 -- you can use enraged throw (bonus action) to set enemies up for horde breaker and use the additional bonus action from thief for great weapon master's attack/frenzied attack. You'd routinely get 4-5 attacks off.

Level 6 tiger aspect isn’t bugged. It notes that it adds your strength modifier to ATTACK ROLLS, which are different from damage rolls after you hit. Tiger 6 I think is still better to completely mitigate GWM penalty super early but Wolverine 6 is good for lockdown, especially if you can prone people as well.

Hey fellow adventurers! 🗡💪 Just wanted to share my experience with a killer melee build in Baldur's Gate. I've been rocking a dual-wielding fighter with a focus on Two-Weapon Style and proficiency in longswords. The synergy between high Strength and Dexterity, along with some sweet magical gear, has turned my character into an absolute wrecking machine on the front lines. I've also invested in some key Fighter and Berserker abilities for added survivability and damage output. It's so satisfying to see my character slicing through enemies with ease, especially when the critical hits start rolling in. Any other melee enthusiasts out there with awesome builds to share? Let's swap tips and tactics! Happy adventuring! ⚔🛡 #BaldursGate #MeleeMayhem #GamingStrategies

I played my tiger barb with Thief splash, so I could Rage + Black Hole on the first turn of combat. Get max value out of those cleaves. Then at the very end I just respecced to 11 hunter 1 wizard for a self hasted whirlwind attacker (whirlwind is unlimited, same as tiger cleave). Next playthrough is 6 Swords bard 5 Pact of the Blade Warlock 1 Cleric/wizard as githyanki, possibly carrying around the Psychic resonator and stacking some psychic damage (1d6 from Silver Sword, 1d4 from ring, 1d4 from illithid power, all doubled up, and the drawback of psychic resonator cancelled by the silver sword). Ends up doing CHA based damage with 3 attacks, and fluorishes for AoE :) Also thought of abusing Psychic resonator with Potent Robe, Ring of Mysic Scoundrel and Vicious Mockery with a Thief splash in some form, but that former build is probably more powerful. Still 2x bonus action casts of Vicious Mockery against psychic vulnerable targets should be fun, maybe I just put both builds in the same party for extra profit. One can even cheese 2 x Silver Swords...

Also interesting is how bugged the Bonespike Armor geo is on that character. It isn't deforming properly at all. Don't know if it's a dragonborn thing or large body in general, but that is seriously scuffed. (On the bright side it looks fairly terrible anyway, so easy to overlook the intersection problems.)

Problem with the strength gloves is you get them so late in the game you just aren't going to have many fights left with them. And at that point, even on Tactician, your crew is going to be so brutal anyway they're really just a side-note. (Dex gloves are another story.)

I'm pretty sure the fighting style you suggested only works if your wearing armor so you would get no bonus unless you are supposed to where armor with this build? You can also up another skill by 2 if you make the dex 14 instead of 15 since 14 and 15 is a +2 to your dex skill either way. Possibly bump up Wis to a 10 as well?

So far Barbarian has been the most fun to play; however, which there were more armor/clothing options.

Why not go 6 Barb/3 Fighter (Champion or BM)/3 Ranger (Hunter)? This seems like an optimal way of maxing the Wildheart subclass but still getting to choose BM manoeuvres and attacking two targets from range? You'd also get Second Action from Fighter as well. If you drink a potion of speed beforehand and use Second Action, you'd potentially get six attacks on that turn

The Aspect of the Beast: Tiger is working for me. Just keep in mind that ONCE they are already bleeding, it is only adding it to the ATTACK, not the damage. So it just increases your accuracy on the hit which isnt great because you are always reckless attacking.

What if you used the greatsword that heals you by 1d6 and have the pendant that maximizes your healing?

Defense doesn't work for the +1 AC if your not wearing armor

Is aspect of the tiger still bugged ?

I don't get Great Weapon Master. I lose numbers To Hit, so I hit less; so why is it so popular??

I was gonna type some massive rant. But honesty it as long as you're enjoying yourself. That's cool, but the build itself is pretty sketchy, and theres alot you could do to make it better. Lastly for anyone watching this guy, you get one elixir slot, just like you do with helm/chest items and concentration spells. You wouldnt even think twice about using those, so dont listing ti this clown calling them cheese, larion balanced the game around those things so think about all aspects of your build and how they interact, youll have alot more fun.
