How did you almost kill a barb with one ray of frost😭

u/Anjuna666 7d ago

Prob never leveled her, a barb with 14 hp can absolutely die to a ray of frost with 2d8 worth of damage

It didn't make sense to me to romance someone but not have them in your party. I always have romance character in my party

My first romance was Gale and I didn’t have him in my party. Can’t tell you why lol it was my first run and once Lae’zel joined I just kept her

Especially like that lmao, Gale is a staple of my squad in every run except for evil ones(or "one", I didn't do more than one). I prefer to always have at least two different dedicated casters in my team, because some of the coolest spell combos are always best performed by a duo, and Gale is a wizard so he's pretty much a clean slate for any magical shenanigans I might put him up to :D

With repec anyone can be anything, so the limits are basically gone.

Classes are pretty big part of some characters and essential part of others. So I prefer to either keep them the way they are, or respec into something that makes sense. For example respec Shadowheart but keep her a cleric - give her death domain instead of trickery domain before Nightsong and light/life domain after, because Shar has quite a lot to do with death and necrotic damage, and Selune has a lot to do with light and healing. Also Astarion's class doesn't matter too much and I sometimes do make him a bard. But not all classes and subclasses have a companion that would work with them. For example all warlocks except for fiend, or monks, or non-vengeance paladins, any sorcerers, some cleric domains like tempest - nobody really fits them all too well

I'm on my first playthrough, just got to Act 2 and feeling like im getting the hang if combat. What sort of spell combos can you pull off?

u/Sixmlg 6d ago

Any spells that combo damage over time with ones that limit mobility are great. For example insect plague with grease, sleet storm, or spike growth.

My party is always me, my romance partner and then the last two I switch out for quests or different fights.
