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.

My 1st successful honor mode playthrough i did it as a vengeance paladin with shadowheart as a life cleric, astarion as a gloomstalker assassin, and wyll as a sorlock. I used invis potions and barrelmancy for all sorts of shenanigans. You can steal lots of stuff using an arrow of darkness or darkness the spell. Lots of great gear is just lying out in the open. You have to be really mercenary in honor mode. Feelings are for those who don't have the golden dice. So kill anyone for good gear if you can get away with it. A good example is the lady near the gith creche. She gets murdered for her gear. Usually after a failed pickpocket attempt. Same with the creche trader. Try to do as many combats as you can because you won't be overleveled like in normal playthroughs so you'll need the xp.

Edit: Also I was playing dark urge because the fight against Orin is simple af when you play as dark urge who has slayer form.
