Although i guess druids and clerics lack some juice in their spells, their role is support, but well-placed holy smites are always a glorious sight. Honestly, my archer would kill enemies before they even reached by ToB, and he had the vast majority of kills in my group tied with korgan.Īs far as your 3 choices go, i dont see how you can go wrong, you can be a powerhouse with almost all characters in BG2. Kensai are definitely more fragile/suceptible to damage than an archer, but they do the highest damage in the game. Plus you get some basic spellcasting that makes you more resilient than a kensai. slightly lower damage, but ranged attacks more than make up for it since theres zero downtime in movement between enemies and unlike the kensai, you never really have to back off from danger since youre already far away. He will hit very often, and by ToB, he will -never- miss. Aside from a few enemies immune to +3 weapons (Mostly SoA, but ive never found it to be a real problem), the archer is a huge powerhouse. I would have to disagree about the archer. The Archer remains viable throughout the trilogy but does become less powerful, relatively speaking of course, as the game advances which isn't very satisfactory imo. You'll get all kinds of great buffs that make you a better fighter than pretty much any other warrior. Dwarven Defender (ultimate tank as you say), Half-Orc Berserker/Barbarian (strong damage dealer and nice immunities while enraged) and Inquisitor (the 'real' wizard slayer) are all solid choices.Īnother great class is a Fighter/Thief for insta-chunking backstabs and by the time backstabs become less effective (late game) you'll have devastating traps and you'll be a tremendous warrior anyway.įighter/Cleric or Cleric/Ranger is another great class. I gather that you're referring to physical rather than magical combat. These are just symptoms of an affliction very common amongst people on these forums: restartitis.Īs to your charname, you say you want him/her to be a beast. I've played through most of BG:EE twice, and yet I stopped both times, not liking my character. So, I'm one of those persnickety guys who gets frustrated if things aren't just so. Maybe an Inquistor Paladin? I know he has sweet buffs, but is that ultimately better than anything above? Anyway, thanks for the help, hopefully I can get over my weird OCD and get to the, as I understand it, superior game. I'm open to other suggestions too, as long as I'm more of a specialist than a generalist. And I'm not as worried about party configuration or anything like that I'm flexible there, I just really get frustrated when I feel that my PC isn't the driving force of my party, without modding the hell out of him. I keep a mage around for the basics, but I want my PC to just be a beast. The magic in this game, while incredibly awesome, requires too much fiddling for me to enjoy. I actually did that already, and I just didn't like it. I don't really know what's true, but I just really like my PC to be the bomb, y'know? However, before someone suggests it, I don't want a fighter/mage. Like I said, I've tried not to ruin it for myself, but this is what I've heard in passing ranged combat becomes much less effective in the sequel, the Defender would miss out on the best weapons and grandmastery, and the berserker's extra strength/damage is less amazing with stuff you can find. Half-orc Berserker (or Barbarian, but I don't think he measures up) dual-wielding flails and.something, I dunno, maybe longswords. I don't want anything ruined for me or end-game builds, please, but I was hoping for an idea of which class is not going to feel like dead-weight if I used them for the whole saga.Įlf Archer (Ranger Kit) mostly focusing on Shortbows (I understand they are probably the best in 2) Anyway, I've kinda narrowed it down to three possible classes I think I'd really enjoy playing, but I've heard that maybe some aren't the best idea for BG2.
