I am approaching 600 hours in this game but still have not finished it. I've tried many builds : Lore Master, Thaum, Inquisitor (honestly love this build), Geomancer, and a few others but this build…...this build right here is finally going to allow me to beat the game on POTD Solo. I waltzed into the Fampyr cave last night to get my Giftbearers cloth and utterly tanked and beat their asses to a pulp. I don't even perform Naval combat anymore, I simply board and beat them down.....I am the Captain now! Face tanked the dragon in the Watershapers guild hall (did it at 19 I think, may have been 20 so I might have been over leveled for this). Powerotti, thank you for sharing this.
Completely unrelated but I really hope this amazing community does all the amazing things here for BG3 :-)
