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

The starting class Metamorph showcases the Polymorph line of magic. While Larian Studios provides a simple first-level build, characters can be improved by adjusting start parameters and investing in an array of combat ski

Divine Talents are a completely optional feature. Utilizing them will disable achievements/trophies, so consider these new talents only if you don’t care about earning them, or are on a second playthrough of the game. To enable the talents, when in game open the main menu and select Gift Bag Features. In the next screen, toggle on Divine Talents and then apply. The SLG Game Missions will reload (so it is a good idea to save beforehand). If the Divine Talents option is locked, it means that it was previously enabled and can no longer be disabled. If you are in a multiplayer game, make sure everything loaded and synced correctly for all play

On most level ups you should raise your primary selected attribute, Strength or Intelligence based on weapon. Every few levels also put a point into Wits for critical hit rate, Memory for skill slots, and Strength for heavy armor (if you are wielding a staff). Warfare will give a multiplicative damage boost to your Physical damage, while Pyrokinetic will do the same for Fire damage. Also consider Two-Handed, which will give an additive bonus to all damage types (even better if you are dealing other elements, like Poison or Air) and increase your critical damage multiplier. Also take combat abilities for skill requirements, like Geomancer or Necroman

Terrain Transmutation (2 Polymorph): Swaps surfaces in two locations. Good for either clearing out paths or placing nasty surfaces under enemies. Most enemies will instantly be killed by Lava surface Fire dam

With this mod, the party now shares the highest barter and persuasion skills when trading, regardless of the character chosen. No more setting up complex trades only to have to scrap it all and start again because the wrong character was selec

The Summoning skill line has many useful abilities that allow the player to have several extra summoned companions. Conjurers have abilities from summoning elemental creatures to charming enemies to fight along the player's side. While this skill line is incredibly useful, alone it will not be eno

As a Battlemage, you will be dealing with some mix between Physical and Magic damage. It would be better to just prioritize one: either heavily invest in two-handed Strength weapons and Warfare or Intelligence staves and Pyrokinetic . Either way, being on the frontlines means that it would be good to wear Strength-based armor. Consider starting with 1 Strength (mostly for future gear requirements), 2 Intelligence, 1 Warfare, 1 Pyrokinetic, and Civil Ability matching your character (Barter for Ifan, Loremaster for Sebille, et

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

These new Divine Talents include options to deal more damage, survive enemy blows, and even sneak around cities. While these can be beneficial on their own, talents can be bolstered by combining them with other officially released Gift Bags, like more action points or empowered summoning, and other community mods for the PC vers

This mod aims to make each unique item in the game all the more viable, incentivizing people to equip them whenever they get their hands on a particular specimen. Players don't have to be disappointed by a unique item with basic attribute bonuses since the vast majority of items have a special effect attached to them now,

Any of these lines would make a great secondary skill line option depending on the playstyle that is wanted. Depending on the race of the character may also change the decision. If the Conjurer wants a third skill line, choosing another element may be the best option. Other Conjurer combinations could be Hydrosophist and Necromancy for a support role, Geomancy and Warfare for a tanking role, Pyrokinetic and Huntsman for a ranged role, or Aerotheurge and Scoundrel for a stealthy r

Spirit Vision is one of the most important abilities a player can use to uncover hidden quests, talk to spirits that have passed on, and uncover any hidden information that will help them understand the lore of the world even more. Unfortunately, this skill needs to be activated every single time, and the instances of its use aren't always that obvi

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
