[QUOTE="NADRIGOL, post: 8153002, member: 6803822"] Hello all! I'm back! For a bit anyways. I've updated my main post to address the fact that I am revisiting the guide to incorporate the very significant changes Tasha's has brought to the Bladesinger. To summarize, the changes to Extra Attack make the subclass very strong. It provides a significant melee damage buff to the Bladesinger. It also means that the fighter-multi-class, two-weapon-fighting, haste-focused build that this guide previously focused on is no longer dominant. It hasn't gotten any weaker... it's just that other builds have closed the gap. And this makes the multi-classing trade-offs much more of a personal preference than a build tier list differentiator. So with that in mind, I am updating the guide. There will be content addition (which I have not done yet) and updates to the old content for the TCE rules changes. I've already made updates to most of what I think needed rewriting. The spreadsheet and the specific damage tables in the guide are updated. Most of the build write-ups and specific feature and multi-class evaluations are updated. Right now, it very much feels like a guide that was written one way and then revised for the new rules. I've realized this probably makes sense for me, given I am transitioning rules, but not to newcomers who only care about the most recent rules. So I will probably clean it up more soon. I will spend less time throughout the guide addressing the SCAG vs TCE differences. I will probably just leave a single write-up in the opening, and then write the rest of the guide from the TCE point of view. If there is significant interest in the original SCAG version of the guide, voice it soon, and I can perhaps dig back through version history and post a pre-TCE version of the guide separately. If anyone has new feedback on the guide based on my TCE updates, please share. No need to point out missing content, I am working on that next. But if you think evaluations need altering because of the new rules, it's time for that discussion. Very interested to hear experiences from those playtesting the new version as well, since I have not had the privilege. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
