What's your favorite OP build?
What's your favorite OP build?
For my first run, I focused largely on engaging the roleplay elements and didn't worry too much about optimization.
For my tactician run, I'm attempting to utilize about as much OP shenanigans in my party as possible, and I'm having a great time with it so far. What are your favorite OP builds to actually play?
Bonus points if they're viable all the way through the game without respec-ing.
My party:
Smiter: Paladin 5 / Warlock 7
Progression: P2 -> W5 -> P5 -> W7
Starting stats: 16, 10, 14, 8, 10, 16
Feats: PAM/GWM/Cha+2, Cha+2
Equipment: 2H weapon, best heavy armor, anything that grants advantage
Notes: Smite with warlock slots. Subclasses don't matter much, but choose Pact of the Blade (extra attack stacks with Paladin's).
Alternates: P5/W5/F2 for action surge.
Thrower: Berserker 6 / Thief 3 / Champion 3
Progression: B5 -> Ro3 -> F3 -> B6
Starting stats: 17, 14, 16, 8, 10, 8
Feats: Tavern Brawler (Str+1)
Equipment: Sword-and-board, best medium armor, throwing bonuses
Notes: Throw everything and everyone. Keep a few nice magic 2H weapons for bonus throws.
Alternates: B6/R4/F2 or B8/R4 for additional feats.
Sniper: Assassin 3 / Gloomstalker 5 / Champion 4
Progression: Ro3 -> Ra5 -> F4
Starting stats: 14, 16, 16, 8, 12, 8
Feats: Sharpshooter, Dex+2
Equipment: Dual hand crossbows, best light armor (until later...), anything sneak- or surprise-related
Notes: If surprising a group, drink a haste potion and end the encounter solo.
Alternates: Any combination of A3/G5/F2 or A3/G3/F5 seems viable.
Bear: Moon Druid 12
Starting stats: 14, 10, 17, 8, 16, 8
Feats: Tavern Brawler (Con+1), Warcaster, Wis+2/Resilient (Con+1)
Notes: Be a bear. Enough said.
Alternates: D7/C5--cast Spirit Guardians before assuming bear form.

I can write a better guide if people want.
Please do if you get some time this sounds amazing

Wow this was amazingly detailed and optimized.

Pair this with Boots of Stormy Clamour and Thunderskin Cloak for a shutdown debuff build.
While you are building to Frozen, enemies will take themselves out of the fight.

Not tips, you've shown you know as much as me. It's just something for the community same as you. We build and engage.
Same team man. I always upvote and engage good build guides.

And don't forget to pick up the two pairs of boots that make you immune to falling on ice for your frontliners! As an Ice Storm fan, I find these to be very important in my team.
