Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Battlemage Class Guide (Tips & Tricks)

Conjurer, one of the many pre-made classes in **Divinity: Original Sin II , ** is a summoning-based class .

The base Battlemage during character creation (or if you recruit a companion) is 1 Strength, 1 Intelligence, 1 Constitution, 1 Warfare, 1 Aerotheurge, 1 Persuasion; Battering Ram, Shocking Touch, Blinding Radiance skills and the Comeback Kid Talent. While Air damage is serviceable, you can cause much more destruction by beginning with Fire damage and adding in other elements la

First, your primary focus should be Polymorph skills which gain a damage bonus from Strength , making it ideal to have 4 Strength, no Finesse, and wield Strength-based weapons; dump that starting spear that requires Finesse. Most Polymorph attacks deal Physical damage, and will gain a multiplicative boost from Warfare ; so replace the Two-Handed with 1 Warfare. For Civil Ability, boost your character’s natural focus: Persuasion for Red Prince, Loremaster for Sebille, Thievery for Fane,

When wielding a shield, you will make a melee counter-attack. But this only occurs once per turn. Obliviously, this is a fantastic skill for an up close Strength weapon-and-shield fighter. Dagger and shield rogues have the option of taking it, but it is unlikely to score any backstabs as your attacker will probably be facing towards you. Gladiator is even more helpful if you are able to trigger a secondary effect, such as Necromancer life steal or debuffs from your wea

Whenever someone uses a Source Skill, you have a 1/5 chance of gaining Source; it requires being level 6. This talent is best used once your party can hold three Source Points, likely near the end of Reaper’s Coast around level 15 or 16. The party should have some kind of synergy when using Source Skills of the same damage type, like Arrow Storm and Grasp of the Starved, which are both physical attacks. Greedy Soul is less useful for reactionary and healing Source powers you might not use as of

Circle of Suns (Ring): decide to kill Sadha inside the Arx Lizard Consulate (this may cause Red Prince to go hostile if he isn’t a main character). Gives a nice boost to Pyrokinetic and the Flaming Skin skill for f

Xhaxh’s Staff of Parasitic Decay (Poison Staff): a possible reward for slaying Xhaxh during the quest A Taste of Freedom , started inside Mordus’ basement in Reaper’s Coast. Boosts Memory and Necroman

The Cheat Commander is a simple mod that lets players allocate stats without wasting any time, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what this mod can accomplish. Gold, experience, levels, gear, and everything else along the same lines can be generated by this mod, making things easier for those who don't want to punish themselves for trying to accomplish the same tasks over and over aga

Medusa Head (2 Polymorph): Deals Earth damage around you and will cause Petrify on enemies with no Magical armor. Nice if other party members deal Magic damage, but might not be as useful if the team focuses on Physical damage. Also cannot be used with Bullho

Few mechanics are as helpful as Divinity: Original Sin 2's toggleable tooltips. Too often, RPGs rely on players finding lootable containers without guidance. While an organic way to go about adventuring, players are all but guaranteed to miss powerful treasures, curious secrets, and important quest it

For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ
