Choosing the Metamorph as a preset Origin will also elevate the build’s penchant for unique attacks through the Polymorph Skill School. Opportunist (Talent) now gives the Lizard Metamorph the chance to always attack enemies trying to get out of their melee range. Not only that, they can rush opponents for a quick attack (Bull Horns, Polymorph 1), hinder their movement with a close-ranged attack (Tentacle Lash, Polymorph 1), and even transform bosses into poultry (Chicken Claw, Polymorph
The Wayfarer class should balance out ranged attacks and magic. Concentrate on boosting the damage of your ranged attacks with 3 Finesse only. Crossbows should be your main weapon for large damage, but also consider bows if you want to avoid the movement penalty. Be sure to also stock up on different arrows, which can change your elemental damage and cause some status effects. While normally boosting your character’s bonus Civil Ability (Bartering on humans, Loremaster on Elves, etc) is helpful, consider specifically going for Stealth or Telekine
The unique gameplay perk of Elves gaining memories and skills through eating flesh (Corpse Eater Talent) fits the necromantic motif of the Witch, making the Elf Witch quite a great starting combination. The Witch itself had access to great life steals and devastating combat spells, making the action-oriented perks of the Elf quite an appropriate way to enhance their versatility on the battlefi
The go-to weapon for the rogues is the dagger. The exceptional mobility provided by the class makes them uniquely suited to maneuvering around enemies to get the big pop of extra damage from a backstab. Simply move into the radius behind the chosen enemy (depicted as a triangular field with a dagger icon) and attack as typical. It is important to note that not all abilities benefit from the backstab position - check to make sure that the chosen attack makes use of the boost to ensure that AP and recharge time are not being wasted. Rogues can also be quite effective at a distance, but many scoundrel skills rely on being up close, so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat
That customization is key even when working within the Square Enix Game Port's prebuilt character classes. While it is truly a mix-and-match system, there are ways to maximize abilities to fit an archetype, filling out a valuable role in the party. For some, the best place is on the front lines as an armor-clad knight, for others the back lines as a spell-slinging sorcerer. Some, though, prefer to mix it up, to strike from the shadows, and leap back into the dark as soon as the damage is done, keeping the enemy ever on their toes. This is the art of the rogue, the stealthy, sharp striker class that excels at both damage dealing and unmatched mobility. This guide aims to help players create their perfect backstabber, giving the tips and tricks for playing a rogue in Divinity: Original Sin
Thankfully, players can create starting characters that can suit first-time plays without sacrificing a quality experience. Such examples include capitalizing on an Elf’s extra movement potential and the Wayfarer’s expanded toolkit, as well as the Lizard’s elemental resistance and the Metamorph’s penchant for unique atta
First, reallocate attributes for 3 Strength. You will be getting up close to the enemy, so aim to wear heavy armor, and wield a one-handed weapon and shield. With this setup you’ll have access to the Shields Up skill to regain lost armor. Stack your Civil Ability point onto your natural racial bonus - Persuasion for Lizards, Stealth for Dwarves, etc. Restoration will be your primary skill, as it heals vitality over a few turns. If the target is Undead, it will instead deal damage. Armor of Frost will be used to repair Magical armor. For the third skill go with either Mosquito Swarm or replace the Necromancer point with Warfare for Bouncing Shie
Since you have both weapon attacks and spells, aim to raise Strength and Intelligence at a 3:1 ratio; adjust accordingly if you want to focus on one or the other. Keep Constitution at a minimum, raising it only to meet shield requirements. Hydrosophist should be prioritized to improve healing, Magic armor recovery, and water damage. Warfare will grant a multiplicative damage increase to your melee and Necromancer spells. It would also be helpful to have a point in Perseverance and Retribution, unless you already have them as equipment enchantme
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
For Talents, go for Mnemonic to save on Memory, Opportunist to keep enemies locked down, Comeback Kid if there is a high chance of dying, and Elemental Affinity for lower AP costs. If you are using Gift Bags, Gladiator and Magic Cycles can also be use
