![]() ![]() They have a good array of skills, and are fantastic as buff/debuff support characters with spells and Bardic Inspiration. Another solid multiclass choice, Bards can hold their own in martial combat or behave more like a pure Wizard or Sorcerer caster. I have to admit, I really hate the concept of the stereotypical, outlandish 'performer' Bard because IMHO the class is so much more than that. Admittedly, I struggled with my first couple attempts to create and play my custom Warlocks, but the more I play this class the more I enjoy it and the more effective I make my character. Perhaps not as noob friendly as some other caster classes, Warlocks are often part of multiclass builds because they offer so much at low levels. The possible combinations of subclasses, Pacts, and invocations allows for a great variety of options. Some players might be put off by the Warlock's lack of Spell Slots even at high class levels, but IMHO this class has strengths that make it a fun choice. All around my favorite caster class by far. ![]() Their ability to Channel Divinity gives Clerics powers that other casters can only dream of. ![]() IMHO, the Light Domain is one of the best because it provides several damage spells Clerics can't normally learn and grants Warding Flare as a fantastic defensive option. With their Domains granting them special powers and spells, Clerics are often more beneficial allies as combatants than stretcher bearers. Clerics are generally known for their healing and buffs/debuffs, but don't ever mistake them as pure healers required to put a band-aid on all your boo-boos. This class generally lacks the volume of damage spells that Wizards and Sorcerers enjoy, but the damage spells they do have are some of the best in the game. They also have more armor and weapon proficiencies than Wizards and Sorcerers if they want to mix it up with a little bit of toe-to-toe action. While Druids don't have as an extensive catalog of spells to learn as Wizards, they can cast a powerful array of damage, healing, control, buff/debuff, and utility spells that rivals any Wizard. While this feature is the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of Druids, they can also be incredibly strong casters who use Wild Shape primarily for utility and sneaking rather than always mauling enemies with their bear claws. However, there's no denying its power and versatility. The Wild Shape ability probably spawns more questions and caveats than any other class ability in the entire game. This class is as equally complex and unique as the Warlock, but not necessarily because of their spellcasting. Since Sorcerers use CHA, they're also much better at social interactions than Wizard-nerds, tight-arsed Clerics, and patchouli-stinking Druids. Meaning, every spell a Sorcerer knows is always ready for casting, waiting at their fingertips to be unleashed. But perhaps best of all - Sorcerers don't need to prepare their spells. You want to know what's cooler than Banishing an enemy into another plane of existence - Banishing two enemies into another plane of existence. They get Sorcery Points which are similar to a Wizard's Arcane Recovery, and they also get Metamagic which lets them customize their spells in powerful ways. Less versatile than Wizards generally, and with fewer subclass options, Sorcerers are still awesome casters. IMHO, the Abjuration School is one of the best options because of Arcane Ward, which gets even stronger in the end game. The various Schools of Magic subclasses all have interesting perks that add a unique flair for Wizards. Arcane Recovery means Wizards have a bit more gas in their tank so they can continue casting a few more spells when other casters are running on empty. Wizards can also easily learn new spells by copying them from Spell Scrolls that seem to grow on trees in BG3. That's not to say they're the 'best' caster class, but certainly they're the most versatile because of their expansive class spell lists. The most flexible caster in BG3, Wizards can do it all. This section offers a brief summary of caster classes with some of my own opinions regarding their features. ![]()
