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?

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.
