What have been some of your takeaways and must haves?

Lost the first one to w'wargaz as I thought I could do it without a throw barb ( could not ) Cut to him summoning 3 swords at every party member. That dude is no joke with the legendary actions.

Started a new one playing as gale. Died early but chose to continue for practice. Ketheric was next trouble. He seems like a multi attack check. If you're not aware every death within 40 feet of him is a new undead aoe birth. Dual crossbow thief warrior for crowd and oathbreaker for single target damage. About to go against the aspect and semi dreading it.

Only cleared about half of act 3 in the past, but plan to finish it with this gale honor practice save.

What have been your key takeaways from honor mode? Any must have builds or gear for your personal playstyle?

It's been a good step up from tactician feeling different but not overly bs imo.

Laezels been in that role for me with the githyanki gear. She's still falling occasionally.

What's your go to 2h weapon?

I was using the watchers guide for a while, then Larethian's Wrath for most of the game. Recently got the Giant Slayer. It is a beast.

Also I went Eldritch Knight for my fighter. Shield has saved my ass so many times I couldn't justify maneuvers over it when I was already dealing decent damage and tanking like a hero of old!

What’s your go to 2h weapon?

As a gith your weapons should be one of these two:

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Silver_Sword_of_the_Astral_Plane

The first one you can get in the creche by killing the lady with the two wolves. The second you can get from Voss in act 1 by making him drop it or act 3 by killing him or accepting his quest. Getting Voss to drop it in act 1 is very dicey without a specific setup so make sure you research how to do it if you want that one early.
