Let's optimize Mollymauk Tealeaf (and Kingsley Tealeaf) using post-Tasha's options and rules. This is meant to be fun theory crafting and not an attempt to prove me right and the Critical Role cast wrong.

@fightingfalcon777 Год назад

Since you got to do Level 17 for Molly (based off Kingsley in the two-shot), maybe you could do an epilogue episode where you tell us about what you have each of the Nein’s 17th level be, or do an optimizing Essek since he kind of became Matt’s DMPC?

I’m considering it for sure.

@cmccbuilds8229 Год назад

VIDEO NOTE: My reading of Unleash Incarnation was that you can take ONE extra attack per attack action per use of UI. That seems to be a far too generous reading of the ability. The ability should be read as "Whenever you take the Attack action, you can make [A MAXIMUM OF] one additional melee attack from the echo’s position." My thought was that each use of the ability would trigger the ability again. That doesn't appear to be the case, although there is no official ruling on this that I could find. This means the build can't take the 4 unleash incarnation attacks, but only 2.

@wanderingshade8383 Год назад

Making an attack isn't taking the Attack action, which is what Unleash Incarnation keys off of. No matter how many attacks you can make as an action, Unleash Incarnation just gives you one extra. This also means you can't Unleash Incarnation on Opportunity Attacks or Booming Blades, or two-weapon fighting.

@Uranium_Diet Год назад

Very happy you decided to do one fore Mollymauk as well :D

@ericgropuis Год назад

Love the build and I do agree with Molly not multiclassing into Rogue because it fits Kingsley more with his want of being a pirate. I really love the choice of Echo Knight Fighter for the addition flavor and more hints Matt could have used for Lucien since the echo knights are suppose to be you from a different timeline (I honestly don’t remember) Also I really like Bloodhunter but haven’t had a chance to play it myself since I DM a lot but did have a player go for the sword and crossbow route for his bloodhunter to gets loads of damage out but then he did die due to his recklessness so unfortunately didn’t get to see more of that build

@fsm1137 Год назад

Great video, loved the analysis

@onewiththeart6972 Год назад

Absolutely love the ghostslayer. I'm currently playing a lvl 7 ghostslayer lvl 9 war cleric archer. All the dice you add up on those 3 attacks with Rite of Dawn and Holy Wepon really deal a load of consistent damage, not to mention the positioning capabilities with aether walk and the immaculate stew of flavour the multiclass provides. Worshipers so devoted to their god that they are willing to mutilate themselves to fulfill their duties. Great video as always, nice to see some representation for this amazing subclass 😊

@michelleeveret6087 Год назад

This is one of my favorite build variants you've done :) Do you have any analytical thoughts on the pros/cons of Fey Touched vs Shadow Touched? (In general, not necessarily for this character).

@cmccbuilds8229 Год назад

Misty step is a better spell than invisibility. Invisibility has minimal combat applications unless you’re hiding. And the first level spell options for fey touched (divination and enchantment) are WAY better than the shadow touched options.

@theFunkyThumb Год назад

Ive played a similar build, and i think taking 2 levels in bladesinger is super underrated for this. You can skyrocket your AC, movement speed, and gain access to spells like shield. I did 3 ghostslayer, 2 bladesinger, using dual fighting with my rapiers, and when i hit ghostslayer 5 switched to dueling with extra attack and then grabbed battlemaster, but this makes me wish i went EK

@YourBoyNobody530 Год назад

So, I had a player who played a blood hunter barbarian mix with order of the Lycan, and beast barbarian with the long tooth shift race. This gave him 5 attacks per round for a amazing sustained damage which was made easier by me letting him activate all his beast abilities at once.

@francy_pw3369 Год назад

I would argue for hex instead of hunter's mark, because it is a type of curse (hence still thematic) and because of the disadvaantage of checks in case Yasha wanted to grapple, at the same time i understand that necrotic damage is worst than magic weapon damage so... i just thought a curse was more fitting than a hunter's mark as Molly was always more on the creepy magic side of the class than the hunter of monsters side. Still great video and very fun build

@cmccbuilds8229 Год назад

Agreed on pretty much all accounts. I wanted to avoid hex because of Percy. And I like the idea of the mark. Hex is generally slightly better than hunters mark for reasons your touched on.

@basementmadetapes Год назад

Ghostslayer might be my fave subclass in all of 5e. Playing one in CoS rn. Big damage and so much flavour. But I don't think level 9 is bad bad, it's v Matt Mercer, but I think it requires the right type of GM and right type of game. It does feel like a bit of a dud but could be really dope too. But I wish something else came w it.

@Gafizal1 Год назад

So nice to finally see a flying species on an optimization channel. I mean the decision never to use those is anti-optimization.

@sleidman Год назад

Cool build. Seems like Tough would be more effective than +2 Con, no?

@cmccbuilds8229 Год назад

Tough doesn’t get you an extra attack (big on this build) or help with saving throws

@kartavbrar9374 Год назад

I thought that you could only make 1 unleash incarnation attack per attack action? So with using action surge that would bring the attack actions to a total of 2 meaning only 2 unleash incarnations would apply here? Reply if I'm missing something or if extra attack technically counts as another attack action instead of another attack. Just a thought and the wording is a little unclear.

@cmccbuilds8229 Год назад

Check the pinned comment

@tobycall8527 Год назад

Why does unleash incarnation give you 4 attacks? The ability states one extra attack every attack action. So when using action surge surely that's only 2 extra attacks?

The design is certainly questionable. It’s not weak. It’s not a Paladin or anything but I think we see here, it can be optimized quite well.

@sohkaswifteagle2604 Год назад

1- if you want to optimize you cannot use roll stats. roll stats are not guaranteed. you need to do point buy 27 points. 2- optimizing on homebrew stuff (even if homebrewed by Matt Mercer) it's stupid since homebrew options are not balanced (somehow even when published by WotC... Echo knight and chronology wizard are stupidly OP and make all other fighters/wizards subclass useless, reducing the optimization option available. So this exercise is pointless from the start

@cmccbuilds8229 Год назад

You can’t optimize on rolled stats is one of the silliest arguments I’ve heard on this channel. I think you’re confusing the reasoning that treantmonk and others make (including me) for using point buy as the method for general optimization builds/guides And the same can be applied to your second point. Thank you for watching! Check out the other (not critical role) builds. Those may better suit your needs.

@tristinanderson6320 Год назад

He's optimizing somebody's actual character, so he used the stats the player rolled... like you should when doing this. Also, echo knight and both duneamancy wizards are no longer homebrew. They were published in an official 5e book... so they are official, and that's ignoring the fact that they come from the world this character is from, so even if it wasn't official, optimizing them makes sense. The only thing here that was pointless was your comment. This guys content is great.
