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.

Depends on the build, for an EK with Tavern Brawler you just won't find better than the Returning Pike in two handed. Though late game the Dwarven Thrower (works for any race with Disguise Self) and Orphic Hammer are both crazy good versatile weapons.

GWM though. Early game I have to go with Doom Hammer. There are too many enemies vulnerable to bludgeoning damage and almost none that are resistant or immune. Plus the status to prevent healing shuts down so many boss abilities. Late game it gets outclassed by Balduran's Giantslayer, the Hellfire Greataxe, and Silver Sword of the Astral Plane depending on the build.
