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

Not many CRPGs get made anymore despite the overwhelming success of Baldur's Gate and the Neverwinter Nights series. There are still a few that get made, though, one of which is Divinity: Original Sin 2 . This behemoth of an RPG has enough content to keep players engaged for hundreds of hours, but this playtime can balloon further with m

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

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

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 SLG Game Heroes. 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 game 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

Specializing in Aerotheurgy will give access to Electric Infusion, Cursed Electric Infusion in the Summoning skill line. Aerotheurgy uses the power of air and storms to build up the player. This skill line works well for a stealthy supporting role. To the best effect with Summoning, abilities like Favorable Winds, Blinding Radiance, Erratic Wisp, Blessed Smoke Cloud, Teleportation, Nether Swap, Apportation, and Chain Lightn

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

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

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

Content mods aren't common for Original Sin 2 , but the number of mods that range from overhauls to quality-of-life changes provides just enough incentive to try another playthrough. This game has a few issues, but well-made mods put Original Sin 2 on another level of quality entirely. Here are several Divinity: Original Sin 2 mods that make the game even bet

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

The default Metamorph build is 2 Strength, 2 Finesse, 1 Two-Handed, 1 Polymorph, 1 Persuasion; Chicken Claw, Tentacle Lash, Bullhorns skills and Opportunist Talent. This is what recruited companions will have, but your main character can tweak this to be a bit better. You can also retrain your allies once getting to a Magic Mirror for respec

Spread Your Wings (2 Polymorph): Allows you to fly nearby points. Keep in mind that if you try to fly over death fog (and aren’t Undead) you might still wind up dying. Good for movement, but cannot use Spider Legs at the same t

Specializing as a Hydrosophist will give the Conjurer the Water Infusion and Ice Infusion Summoner abilities. The Hydrosophist uses the power of water and ice to deal damage and heal allies. This specialization would make the Conjurer a full support and healing character. The best Hydrosophist abilities to take for the Conjurer are Rain, Restoration, Cryotherapy, Healing Tears, Cryogenic Stasis, Mass Cleanse Wounds, Vampiric Hunger Aura, Deep Freeze, and Ice Brea
