What classes do you like to build for everyone?
I’m running my Tav as a Bard/Paladin/Wiz to mimic my favorite character I played from 5e a few years back.
Astarion is a Gloomstalker, Shadowheart is a Light Cleric, Gale is a Fighter 1/Wizard X, Wyll is a Draconic Fiend Sorlock, Laezel is a Red Draconic Sorcadin. I haven’t really used Minthara or Halsik much, but imagine they would stay single classed as Oathbreaker and Moon Druid.
Re: Minthara
Have you considered using Helm of Acuity + Band of Mystic Scoundrel and Hold Person?
I have Helm of Acuity on my Tav Bard/Paladin and it’s been nice from throwing out a CC like Hold Person with a high as hell DC after throwing out 5 attacks via Haste+GWM bonus attacks.
Once I get the Band of Mystic Scoundrel it will be nice to cast Hold Person as a Bonus Action.
Sometimes it’s hard to play with certain great combos because I have another character already using the gear. That happens a lot with Shart and reverb/radiant orb gear. But I think I just got BotMS yesterday so maybe I’ll give it a shot.
My concern is the folks I most want to crit the hell out of are folks with legendary resistance. Having 18-20 crit range (champ+deadshot) is really helpful on boss fights because 2 smite crits can just about end a boss fight (along with the plinking of everyone else).
That being said, the size of my crits I think is really being limited by only having level 2 spells. I just really don’t care for paladins all that much. I might try Sorcadin with a focus on crit elixirs instead of cloud giant.
My last run I think I respecced her to Eldritch Knight and just ran her alongside Lae’zel’s Battlemaster. With Shart for debuffing holy blender and a bard Tav artillery support. Six two handed weapon smashes, plus usually seventh and eighth bonus smashes is really consistent damage.
