Favorite dual wield combo?
Celestial Fury and Dakkon Zerth Blade with my Anti Paladin/Mage (Anti Paladin is a kit that comes with the Valen mod - basically an evil Inquisitor).
I think you people underestimate Fury.
It's AMAZING. Really. Almost NOTHING in the game is immune to stun.
With a high Attack per Round rate and a Greater Malison tossed in, it's the best disabling effect in the game.
That's only my favorite, though. I just adore Katanas and Fighter/Mages types.
There are more powerful combos, but hey, we all play BG2 for fun, right? [img]smile.gif[/img]
And the game is too easy as it is, after several times through.

The most powerful combo, on the other hand, is, IMO Flail of Ages +5 and Belm +2.
Dundee already proved that one could get 24 STR naturally, so if we're after damage per round here, i have a feeling that the extra attack is worth it.
If not, than it Ages +5 and Crom.
Nothing beats Ages +5. The slow effect is just too mean... :rolleyes: :D

I've realized that the bonuses that come along with the 25 strength you get for wielding Crom Faeyr are not comparable to other +5 Weapons in ToB. It sure is nice to have it in SoA, but there are just too many other good weapons in Tob. Most noteably the Runehammer, man it would have been great to go into Bodhi's lair with that thing.

The genie tells you that he has been captured and brought to Hell to serve as your test, meaning you CANNOT assume he is/was evil.

There is no way to get Blackrazor without being Evil--although I did find a way to get it and still get the results of taking the Good path. I do not think this would cause an alignment change, either.

Oh, and about physical resistances: Of course, he's going to be pushing along that path as well, but I want to see just how fast I can regenerate with
25 CON + Ring of Gaxx + Ring of Regeneration + Axe of Unyielding + Foebane.
It would be SO cool to walk up to Abazigal, with him whaling away at me as hard as he can, and I just go, "Yeah? AND?"

Pickpocket him! If you get the Tear of Bhaal from him that way, you get to keep Blackrazor no matter what!

As for dual-weapons, either Crom Faeyr + Axe of the Unyielding + Gauntlets of Dexterity means 25, 18, 20 for a half-orc or dwarf, or Purifier and Angurvadal for a Paladin.

Tried the Spectral Brand +5 and Crom Faeyr out for a while aswell. The spectral brand did good dmg but i doesnt have any great combat abilities so it is inferior to other combos. Negative plane protection is all good and well but if you have a cleric or David Gaider's extra abilities theres no point to it. Summoning a spectral blade is also pointless when you have a mage with mordy sword or anyone with high level summons.

btw Shouldnt the Spectral Brand be unusable by Good Aligned chars as it is an "Instrument of unholy death that should never have been unleashed upon the Realms." ?

Allow me to rephrase,

You WILL become evil if you choose to accept Blackrazor unless you exploit a bug( which I think has been fixed by the Baldurdash Fixpack).

Alson, there is no point using Belm +2 with the Flail of Ages +5. You can already reach the maximum of 5 ApR with Crom Faeyr and the Flail of Ages +5.

Two Weapon Style: 2 ApR
Warrior Bonuses: 3 ApR
Grandmastery Patch: 4.5 ApR
Gauntlets of Extraordinary Specialisation: 5 ApR

Crom faeyr+Flail of ages +5 (twitch and drool)
Hindo's Doom+Anguewdyvl (leaves the belt-space free for the girdle of inertial barrier)
(The hammer Yaga drops) + Short sword of mask [img]smile.gif[/img]

Another little thing: Abazigal, fighter/mage time stop, crom fayr and FOA+5....MUAHAHAHAHAHA! [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img] it was a trick perfected with Solaufein over improved irenicus this morning for me....

LOL, sorry coudlnt resist this... a MONK with TWO fists [img]tongue.gif[/img] and a foot or two ;)

A one-footed monk? :eek: I wouldn't like to hop everywhere and it must be a bugger to manage those flying drop-kicks [img]tongue.gif[/img]
