MELEE WARLOCK: Pact of the Blade - Build & Gear | Honour Mode (Solo Viable) 

The nap during the fight is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Fireball centred on self is still one of my favourite moments. The flex tho lol

Hearing main menu theme made me feel so adventurous once again. I'd like to delete my memories about this game (not about how to play it tho) just to enjoy it once again in its purest form

Amazed you did it! I had to stop watching the last few vids since I never made it further than Gortash/Ansur but hoooooly smokes it’s inspiring.

Congratulation on your first solo honor mode! And thanks for the build and gear walk through

Now to watch it all again in one big marathon

Congrats again! Can't wait to see what you think up for the next one :)

Congrats mate you did it! And ty for the build I’ll surely try it ❤

Great run and build, bravo ser. Currently using this for my HM Durge playthrough with a darkness party (shadow monk, necro wizard and gloom ranger) lots of fun!

I hope your fan base grows! I'll be using this in my honor mode run with friends.

Love to see the build. Very clever

Shot for the breakdown bro too good!! 🤙

Great idea for a video and a nice way to summarize and close(?) the run (unless there's more post-run videos coming? :D). Seeing how I've watched (I think) every video from this run, I wanna do a summarizing comment, too :). Hope it's not too long ;). It was the second playthrough of BG3 I fully watched (after your previous one ;)) and it felt in a way "special" being there "as it happened". Also, being able to discuss tactics and exchange tips, was fun, too (I was the viewer who mentioned Elemental Wrap for Conjured Elementals. Hi :D). BG3 aside, mad respect for engaging with pretty much every comment, in a meaningful way, too. As far as I understand you're going to do another solo HM, right? Can't wait to see that one, too :). I learned a lot from your videos and I think they're a big part of why I'm actually getting much better at playing more strategically, instead of hitting everything with AoE spells and long resting after 2-3 fights because I'm out of spells, lol. I actually just successfully finished my first HM Ketheric/Myrkul fight today (although I'm running with a full party). No spell casters, only an open hand monk, a battle master fighter, a throwing barbarian/eldritch knight and an... assassin/gloom stalker/fighter (Astarion can put out like 90 dmg in round 1, it's crazy). Any spells come from scrolls, if necessary which is my first time playing (almost) only non-casters :). I keep using your videos as reference, too, before some boss fights, to see in action what to prepare for :D. Tl;dr: thanks for all the uploads, for lessons I learned, and for engaging with the viewers :).

amazing and very creative build!!

Going to save that one :) started honour solo with a warlock thanks to you !

Great video. Short, to the point, and very thoughtful. I wonder what your play would look like with a whole optimized party 😎

Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking for a build to try and am eager to give this a shot! Too scared to go solo but who knows, might try it one day! Thank you!

This build was inspiring for me to learn and try solo runs, so thank you and huge congrats on you honor mode victory. Subsequent to playing your build all the way through on tactician, I ran a 7/5 oath of vengence GOO warlock, also as a durge with spear of evening and bhaalist armor. Also a hugely satisfying run, but it would be somewhat hard in honor mode, as it’s missing things like sanctuary and sleight of hand was lacking. Thinking out loud, I think a pact of the blade warlock that’s a mix of 5 paladin, oath of vengeance, 2 fighter, 1 war cleric, and 4 warlock GOO pact of the blade would make a good solo build. Planning to try this next. I would desperately miss Hunger of Hadar, maybe give up the fighter dip to get it, not sure yet.

Just completed a solo honour run using a similar build. I went Great old one rather than fiend as fears inside hunger of hadar is a win button. I also ended up dropping sanctuary for create destroy water as wetting people in HoH doubles it's cold damage and then firing in an ice arrow makes it almost Impossible for enemies to get out of it. Bow of the banshee with arrow of many targets also works wonders for fearing inside HoH.

Thanks for this!

lol all the misses at the end of the build showcase. seriously though you may have convinced me to try a similar build on an upcoming duo HM run, it looks like a blast!

Good build, I'm probably gonna try it at my next run

This is the next build im using it looks like so much fun

looks good so far but can u explain me why u use Mage Hand? I've never had úse for it

Hey i've just stumbled upon this guide and quite amazed how you was able to pull this off. I get why you take fighter and war cleric dip, but i would like to ask your opinion about just going full lvl 12 bladelock for lifedrinker invocation. Is it worth it and does it feel good to play?

I’m liking it I’m liking it

is there an alternative to the spear? i don't wanna take SH down that route. Congratulations on the solo!

Is it okay to play caster EB build with this setup for solo? or Padlock maybe ? I only cleared honour with stealth archer (which is broken) and i want to clear without stealth cheese.

Can you write me, how did you do ~60 dmg by using Shar’s spear? Because due to my math you should deal less dmg and im very corious what im missing. Btw great build i really wanna try it

How would this build differ for a Resist Durge? If I didn't want to steal the idol or kill Nightsong?

How did you get Shars spear solo? Congrats on the W 👊🏻

What do you mean you’ll get wisdom modifier instead of charisma on items? I don’t

What is the advantage of going fighter and cleric vs paladin? Devotion Paladins get access to sanctuary and smites

I am still confused with the Cleric dip...is it required? I didn't get the explanation in the vid

So what will be next for you? Another solo character? Or you will give yourself some time to rest and relax from bg3? What another big game is on your target? I have started playing Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes , it's a great Japanese roleplaying game with turn based combat and 100 heroes to collect.

What illithid powers should i use on this build?

It should have contained more crit fails, since it was 50% of your rolls XD

Well. Starting as fighter means you have no spellcasting modifier for your warlock spells. and GWM does NOT work with one handed weapons.
