[HONOUR] Post-Eclipse GUTS Build + Berserker Armor | Baldur's Gate 3

that's right it's your boy today we have the man who essentially started this channel another purger of evil the Black Swordsman himself that's right we are creating the ultimate post Eclipse guts build in bder Gate 3 guts is the first build I ever did so I thought it'd be fitting the sequel would be the first build of 2024 this is the long awaited followup to my previous builds Golden Age guts and falconia Arc Griffith and that is with good reason this build will absolutely decimate most characters I've created on this channel a destructive Powerhouse that crits regularly and seemingly Never Dies if that might sound familiar with this build it doesn't even matter if you have the brand of sacrifice because Apostles are just going to cower in fear and Sprint the other way for those of you that just want a reference for the general build path consider subscribing before you click off as this build will be four champion and eight Berserker half of this build is in its gear so make sure not to miss that section as well well welcome to purge evil thank you for stopping by and just before we get into it I'd like to officially announce the launch of The Purge evil patreon I've decided to create a patreon a lot sooner than I expected for those of you that want more builds and builds in written format when you become a Slayer you gain full access to every build on this channel in written format as well as builds I have already created but haven't had time to create a video for some of these builds will be on the patreon weeks or even months prior to their videos being released and some will even be available to free members you'll also gain Early Access to all of my videos and even some exclusive to the patreon I also have several more benefits that'll be offered and added in the future as the channel continues to expand and some of those benefits will be things like access to the purge evil Discord once that launches discounted and free merchandise and even whitelisted server access for certain games I'll be playing here in the future that's only just a few I have planned so so if you're interested in anything like that or just want to show some love and support the channel there is a link in the description to the patreon so you can check it out for yourself and I thank you all so much not just for subscribing but for being here in general with your support we can turn Purge evil into something truly special someday thank you let's get into the build character creation in level one I'm going to be honest guys half orc is by far the best race for this build if you don't care about role playing as guts and just want to use the build I definitely recommend hafor I know guts is a human but the racial passives from hafor can actually mimic the Berserker armor and make up for some later levels of Barbarian which we can use for fighter instead so I highly recommend it just head Cannon the fangs to be the Beast of Darkness emerging or some like that half ORS do an extra dice of damage when they crit which is going to be a focus of this build as we will be taking Champion note that you can also get this same passive from taking Barbarian to level 9 but you'd be sacrificing a de feat in doing so one of their other passives allows them to regain one HP when they go down which absolutely mimics the Berserker armor not allowing guts to ever go down twisting his limbs back into place so he can continue to fight on for presentation purposes I'll be showing the human guts throughout this video though it's busted you don't need half Ork you're going to do just fine as human which I'll be demonstrating through these clips so don't worry too much about it araj's potion in act two is going to increase your strength byy two so make sure you don't slay aaran before then because you'll need him in your party in order to get this potion this is a necessity and acts as a free ability Improvement feat for your strength but before I get too far ahead since we're on the topic of strength our starting stats should look something like strength 16 deck 16 Constitution 14 intelligence 8 wisdom 12 and charisma at 8 take the Outlander background for athletics and survival and we will start the build as a fighter barbar Aran would arguably be a better class to start as if it weren't for Action surge at level two at fighter level one we unlock second win which is a self-healing bonus action that will help to keep guts in the fight you can head Cannon this is guts sheer willpower to struggle on or an effect of the Berserker armor just ignore the Power Ranger pose we also gain a fighting style which of course will be great weapon fighting I usually go out of my way to explain that you should aim for extra attack as early as possible but I'm just going to describe the regular build path throughout this video which will see us getting extra attack at level eight obviously you can take fighter to five if you'd like it early and later Respec following this guide level two and three take another level into Fighter for the aformentioned action surge granting us an extra action during a turn once per short rest follow this with a third level in fighter to unlock Champion the Catalyst that will begin to turn guts into a crit machine we're going to be doing so much damage we wouldn't even have time for Maneuvers so don't worry about Battle Master Champion reduces the number we need to land a critical hit by one so now anytime we roll a 19 we will land a crit keep an eye out for any Gear with the same effect as they do stack lowering the number needed even further this is a core essential to this build level four at level four we multiclass into Barbarian so now we can truly begin to roleplay guts with rage while enraged you'll deal more damage have advantage on strength checks and saves and all incoming physical damage will beave meaning you have resistance to it take note that rage will end early unless you attack an enemy or take damage each turn raging while wearing heavy armor provides no benefits and essentially would just be for role playing so make sure to stay away from heavy armor with this build lastly you can't cast or concentrate on spells while raging we also gain unarmored defense which we will ignore for the most part as guts will be wearing medium armor level five at level five barbarian 2 with danger sense the brand of sacrifice Cuts deeper and not only alerts guts of enemies it now gives him advantage on dexterity saving throws against traps spells and surfaces allowing him to react faster than before we also gain Reckless attack which you can activate before or during an attack to instantly give you Advantage at the cost of enemies having advantage against you until your next turn a brutal ability for a brutal character level six at level six take another level in Barbarian to unlock our subass and Go full berserk I said the thing this changes our rage into frenzy which functions the same as rage but also grants guts three bonus action abilities frenzy strike makes an extra attack with your weapon enraged throw picks up something nearby and launches it at the enemy with a chance to knock them prone an improvised weapon attack let you pick up something nearby and attack with it what makes these so great is them all being bonus actions which is a fair tradeoff in my opinion for multiclassing early instead instead of going straight for extra attack which will get in two levels anyways a nice combo I like to do is use enraged throw to knock somebody prone and then walk up to him and critical that mother level seven at level seven Barbarian 4 we unlock our first feet which will of course be great weapon Master with this we gain a toggleable passive that increases damage by 10 but in turn gives a minus five penalty to our attack roles since we're able to gain Advantage whenever we want to we can basically nullify by the negative side of this passive with this feat we also gain a bonus action extra attack to use if we land a critical or kill an enemy a nice alternative to have in case we happen to not be raging around this time is when you'll consume a Raj's potion to increase your strength to 18 she's located at moonrise towers and remember you must have a staran in your party level eight continuing with Barbarian at level eight we unlock Extra attack so now we can make several attacks per turn and even more with action surge we also gain fast movement which simply gives guts an extra 3 m of movement just make sure you don't equip heavy armor level 9ine at level nine we dip back into Fighter for our second feat which will of course be Savage attacker so now not only do we have Advantage all the time rolling attack dice twice with this feet we also roll our damage dice twice on every melee attack guaranteeing higher damage on average level 10 11 and 12 at level 10 moving back over to Barbarian we gain another rage charge and Mindless Rage which prevents guts from being Charmed or frightened while frenzied and also prevents characters like Sher from casting calm emotions on guts to stop his rage at level 11 we gain feral instinct which simply gives guts a plus three bonus to initiative and prevents him from being surprised and finally at level 12 we unlock our final feat which will be ability Improvement to cap our strength at 20 at the end of the day guts is still human but what makes him particularly capable is his Berserker armor and his prosthetic gear prosthetic aside from the build itself we need some more passives and abilities through gear to mimic the Berserker armor as much as possible but first the arm prosthetic we have two forms to choose from the crossbow and the Blaster if guts chooses to fire bolts I like to equip the fir stoer and the Hellfire hand crossbow this is a famous Duo of course but the true reason for dual wielding hand crossbows is so that guts can fire more than one bolt per turn or even just fire the one as a bonus action we can also somewhat mimic the arm cannon with this setup by firing off the given scorching Ray once per short rest if guts chooses the cannon the one and only choice we have here is absolutely the fabricated arbalist this Beast of a weapon lets guts fire off arm Cannon blasts for 10 turns once per short rest and has a chance to Blind enemies and also has a chance to burn guts after being fired truly the Ultimate Weapon to role play with if you're not worried about role playing guts's arm Cannon you can equip the Deadshot Longbow to further reduce your crit roll needed by another one dragon slayer though there isn't a true dragon slayer in the game we do have three beautiful options to choose from for guts the first sword I'll recommend is sardo's wound Seeker which grants guts a plus 1 D4 bonus to attack rolls against enemies who have already taken advantage which gives us a higher chance of scoring a critical this is found in act one at walking's rest the next two weapons I'll recommend come in act three the sword of chaos synergizes particularly well with this build as it will heal guts for 1 to 6 hp every time he attacks with a trinket I'll recommend shortly guts would heal the full 6 hp every time lastly of course we have balon's Giant Slayer specifically designed to destroy Apostles with this you can make a special attack once per short rest against larger creatures with advantage that deals huge damage you also gain the ability to become the size of an apostle but we won't talk about that too much use at your discretion Berserker armor finally we arrive at the Berserker armor to keep this video from being an hour long I'll mainly describe the recommended gear for the final build first we'll start with the boots and there's two I'll recommend there disintegrating night Walkers prevents guts from getting caught up on all difficult terrain and allows him to use Misty step once per short rest which we can head Cannon to be the incredible agility the armor seems to Grant him hurling himself through the air at his opponents for this same reason I would also like to recommend the bone Spike boots though we don't get the bonus plus one to AC in saves because we will be wearing medium armor we will get increased jump distance and the brutal leap ability which actually lets guts launch himself into the air towards his foe with a chance to knock them prone on impact this is a bonus action and can be used every turn so this is a perfect pair of boots for guts and the Berserker armor before we continue make sure to always wear the perap of wound closure so the armor can heal guts and prevent him from dying without a final blow this amulet maximizes HP healed from all sources and prevents you from ever having to make death saving throws until you unlock this equip the Amulet of Misty step pair the amulet with the Ring of regeneration and guts will Auto heal a Solid 4 HP at the start of every turn since I'm mentioning a ring here the other another ring I recommend wearing is obviously killer sweetheart which gives you a free critical hit once per long rest after you kill a creature this will be a prompt so you'll be free to choose whichever enemy to use it on rather than it just being your next attack regardless after death dos part is a super cool ring that fits gut's Beast of Darkness aspect consider this as it revives guts when down with half of his health but in turn he's been lost to the Beast inside who is now in control and will attack the nearest creature friend or Foe and deal an extra 1 D4 necrotic damage make sure you have Sher in your party to cast remove curse to end this the only cloak I can really recommend is the cloak of displacement which causes enemies to have disadvantage on attacks against guts until he takes damage okay back to the armor itself the Marshall exertion gloves are absolutely perfect for the Berserker armor this gives guts Marshal exertion where he pushes past his physical limits taking 66 piercing damage to double his movement speed and make an extra attack this can be used once per short rest so consider keeping another pair of gloves in your inventory to use afterwards like the bone Spike gloves or the gloves of power the main chest piece I'll recommend is going to have to be the adamantine scale male simply for a lack of a better option much of that having to do with appearance admittedly at the very least this is one of the best armors in the game preventing enemies from Landing Critical Hits on guts and sending them reeling if they were to land a melee attack which penalizes their attack roles finally we arrive at the helmet it's up to you to decide which of these you think is better as in my opinion it really is personal preference first we have serox horned helmet guts now has dark vision and the number he needs to crit is further reduced by another one which at this point in the video guts would only need to roll a 17 to land a critical or 18 if you opted for the arm Cannon side note one of my upcoming builds the dark D here is going to brutalize the critical passive so be on the lookout for that aside from lowering the crit number this helmet also grants a bonus plus one to Constitution saving throws and prevents guts from being frightened or Afflicted with other mind altering effects which we also have while being frenzied as a reminder which is a great reason why the horns of the Berserker is a great in character alternative this helmet gives guts a plus two to attack rolles against damaged creatures further increasing the chance for him to crit and some could argue that this is better than the passive from the previous helmet I will let you decide that for yourself this helmet also grants guts attacks a bonus to necrotic damage so long as he isn't at full health but he will take 1 D4 damage if he doesn't attack on a turn which won't happen anyways and with that it's time to absolutely annihilate the forces of the God Hand in our seemingly endless struggle to take revenge on the man we once called our friend if you lik this video or found it helpful in anyway make sure to subscribe and let me know down in the comments your thoughts and if you have any suggestions to improve the build or even any suggestions for future builds I thank each and every one of you for watching and if you've made it to this point I just want to say thank you for stopping by and until next time Purge evil in my I put it on in my but I ain't put it on yet ground in my palm but I ain't put it on yet ground in my on but I ain't put it on yet
