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

Polymorph is a skill-based around transforming the player character. These transformations give the character a short-lived ability , anything from invisibility to charging at the enemy like a bull. Polymorph is especially useful for stealthy characters with the Chameleon Cloak which gives the character invisibility. However, Polymorph becomes more useful the farther along in the game the player goes. The Polymorph skill becomes great for crowd control and leveling the playing field with skills like Terrain Transmutation, Forced Exchange, and Equal

The Picture of Health Talent grants a 3-percent Vitality boost whenever players spend an Ability point on Warfare. Players who want more fluid characters might not see this Talent as beneficial, as they might want their melee fighters to have a more diverse set of ski

Peace of Mind - Target gains the Clear-Minded status effect which increases Strength, Finesse, Intelligence, and Wits for three rounds. It also removes the Blinded, Terrified, Charmed, Taunted, Sleeping, Enraged, and Mad status effe

For a more aggressive and magic-based playstyle go for Geomancy or Pyrokinetic skill lines. In Geomancy, adding skills like Contamination, Poison Dart, Acid Spores, Reactive Armor , Venom Coating, and Venomous Aura. In Pyrokinetic, adding skills like Haste, Searing Daggers, Bleed Fire, Firebrand, Deploy Mass Traps, and Sabot

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

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

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

For new Talents aim for Executioner to regain AP, Hothead for critical hit rate, and Elemental Affinity to reduce AP costs; if you are using more spells than pure melee also get Savage Sortilege to gain magic criticals. With Gift Bags, Sadist will deal Fire damage on Burning targ

Conjure Incarnate - Summon a creature that will match the element of the ground they are cast out of. The element will affect what type of damage they deal and what abilities they have access too. Incarnate will last until killed or combat ends. Once the player character reaches level 10 in summoning they will summon a giant Incarnate Champion instead that deals 50% more dam

Knight of Amadia’s Gloves (Gloves): Enter Amadia’s Shrine at Nameless Isle and solve the entire puzzle inside for this reward. An Intelligence based armor that gives bonuses to Pyrokinetic and Aerotheu

Divinity’s bartering system is solid overall, but it does have one endlessly frustrating issue: the barter and Emotional Gameplay moments persuasion skills used are character-dependent. That means if a player accidentally makes a trade with a non-bartering specialized character, they can kiss all their extra money and bartering bonuses good

Rogues can turn invisible in combat via Chameleon and trigger Guerilla when they use Mortal Blow on an opponent. Meanwhile, some Rangers can exit the battle, sneak up to an unsuspecting enemy, and deal massive damage before re-entering com

Scoundrel is a skill-based around stealth attacks. These skills are where the player can decide whether their Shadowblade will be a ranged or melee fighter. Choosing this skill line will require the character to almost always use daggers, but can be used as a projectile or melee weapon. With skills from Backlash to Wind-Up Toy, Scoundrel is the Shadowblade's integral skill l

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
