Tbh, I think the real power of the Valor Bard will be seen when we put Spirit Guardians atop True Strike and can see multi target damage rolls.

Doesn't multi-classing into Warlock slow your normal spell progression for the Eldritch blast build.? So you couldn't get foresight until level 18? I think you may need to reevaluate your items past that warlock dip, since it is going to throw everything else off by a level. I think after level 11 the progression is a bit off, the Bard level 14 feature isn't going to come online until level 15. Sorry if I am wrong here.

If you used booming blade would that change your opinion on the eldritch knight 7 the lvl feature/ also for valor bards?

Hi Chris, if we use the fix on CME. Any idea what the dpr would look like ?

Bryan Lemieux

Can someone remind me which blade pact build TM is comparing it to here?

Nikol Morith

Yea...I agree with him. My concern is how to try and convince people who are more prone to emotional reactions instead of a logical study of a problem. Sad as it is...I can't get most of them to watch analysis videos longer than 30 seconds of click bait. T.T

Yes CME doesn't need a ban it just needs a nerf to it's upcasting. It should be the same as Spirit Shroud (1 die per 2 levels) which Chris suggested in this video as well as his first video about the spell.

i feel like a lot of dms forget they can easily dispel the spell, focus fire to break concentration, they forget that they know exactly what they players are gonna use 😭 but personally i wouldn’t use 6th level n up on this spell cuz it’s just outrageous

In case you haven't found it, or others want to find it, I believe this (https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/russcantrell/viz/DDDPSDashboard/DDDPSDashboard) is the graph Nikol mentioned.

I'm actually kinda worried about CME getting alot of panic bans. Cause it looks like until you start upcasting it at the last half of tier 3...it's a great way to keep your damage comparable to your other damage dealers in the group. I don't know how unique this is, but i think I could count on 1 hand how many sessions (not campaigns) I've played at tier 3+. I'm always kinda worried about these worse case scenario panics influencing people's expectations of spells and abilities that will never actually get to see this level of play. Cause I don't play with folks who actually study d&d...they get their info from some clickbait and never confirm much beyond that...and it's hard to argue with a DM that makes choices like that. I wish I had better options for a play group, but I also wish there could be a more comprehensive release of information beyond sitting through 30-40 minute videos of Chris doing math. That's a hard sell for most casuals. What's the happy medium for convincing people like that???

I know this is a little vague, but there was one episode where he talked about linking a website from another person who had been tracking his graphs and putting them all in one place. I think it was one of the warlocks. Sorry I can't be more specific...I started binging these a couple days ago and it all blurs together. >.<
