  • Divinity Original Sin 2: Which Build Is Right For You? DOS2 Best Builds for you. In this video we take a look at many of Divinity's Builds and help you determine which is right for you.
    In this Divinity Original Sin 2 Best Builds guide we’re going to explore what Build is right for you. While we wait patiently for Divinity: Fallen Heroes, which is due out sometime later this year, I thought it would be a good idea to sort of index the Builds I have made, and point players in the right direction if they are having trouble selecting one. The Builds themselves are rather straight forward, but it isn’t always easy picking the best fit for you or your party, regardless of whether you’re new or a veteran player. In this Guide we’ll cover just that.

    This game is a great CRPG, like Ultima 4 through 7. I like your builds Fextra, awesome info. After handfuls of practice games I ended up keeping two. One is a party of 4 consisting of Knight, Polymorph, Witch and Ranger. The amount of physical damage and crowd control is very satisfying. The other game I kept is a party of 2 lone wolf undead, Geo/Summ and a Tri-mentalist Hydro/Aero/Pyro and the magic damage is through the roof. Both games goin strong in classical. Thanks again for videos Fextra!!!

    Out of all the classes I've played as, the Knight is my favorite.
    A Knight can be your best damage-dealer, crowd-controller, and tank if you build it just right.
    Always invest in Warfare and Necromancy.
    Warfare ups your damage while Necromancy heals a portion of your health from the damage you deal.
    Knights are OP.

    I developed my own build within the game that I dubbed “The Arch-Wizard”. As the name implies it’s a spell caster that utilizes all the schools of magic minus Polymorph. Through equipment and well thought out leveling, The Arch-Wizard is a min-max mage build that can cast the most powerful of spells from all schools, allowing him to support his allies, weaken his enemies, keep himself alive, and to simply rain down destruction and bend the world to his will. A tricky build to make as you might have to rely on equipment that boosts skills, but if mastered The Arch-Wizard is a spell caster you don’t want to cross for he his a true master of the arcane arts.

    A buffer tank most usefull I found but my main is a polymorph/aero at the moment. (Just because it's the the only skills I don't have covered).
    My other two are geo/summ (druid) and then I sometimes use necro/scoundrel or red Prince elementalist focused on ice.
    So bottom line is cover as main bases as poss and the odd summon never goes amiss! Having attacks that can destroy magic or Phys armour very handy as you never know when u need to focus on one or the other.
    N all chars I think need two forms of flight or escape mode. Quite easy to do if u put some points into polymorph which is very usefull even because of tentacle lash/bull rush/chameleon cloak etc.
    N always have a teleporter! The times have teleporter an enemy to the edge of a fire etc for him to pretty much be dead. Works great on strong melee enemies that want to smash you.
    Next one might try a full undead poisonous party. Area effects n play dead X4.

    for those who wants
    1. didn't care if we got underleveled but win the battle with lovely 100% hp, armor
    2. collect resurrect scroll and potion a lot and super rarely use it
    3. want to know how to use sneak + guerrila properly (because people in a lot of forum said it was useless)
    use invisible spell 1st then go sneak (use cloak and dagger/any teleport/jump skill + use shift to determind sneak position.... any not red vision is posible... even the back of the enemy (for example use rogue/shadowblade.... then go invisible then go sneak.... mostly forever not found)
    skip until cd of invisible spell is 1
    delay turn (if the 1st turn is that hero)
    atk
    the last 1 point is to use to invisible
    repeat
    i guaranteed it will super rare for the enemy to search for you (mostly just standing by.... drinking tea)
    i'd say this step is easy level...
    or....
    go sneak.... and jump using "cloak and dagger" and walk more... but it was harder than the top step.... and much easier for the enemy to look for you....
    i'd say this step is medium level...
    negative part
    very long gameplay.... combine with immune death + the chain if you want a little bit faster

    I am kind of disappointed that for the Rogue classes, there was not even a single mention about their primary and most efficient perk - Backstabbing which deals immense amount of damage based on Scoundrel's Crit Damage multiplier and how well it synergies with all other melee type abilities that also share the same backstab mechanics, making them one if not the only class that is able to one-shot an elite enemy, refresh abilities and one-shot another one in a single turn!

    3:17 As someone who sticks to 2 Skill Trees, MAYBE 3 if I really need it. This is killing me. I know i'm too dumb to make and successfully use high level builds but seeing someone have Warfare, Polymorph, Hydro, Necromancer, & Scoundrel looks like such a MAD build that it can't be effective; even it is in game.
    I'm too used to my D&D mindset of sticking to 1 Ability and avoiding dipping into other areas unless they are a tried and true method I reasonably understand as I have an eternal fear of making a character that is not performing in the most optimal way.
    Which is bad because I typically make suboptimal moves/builds.

Have everyone learn teleport, both heals, throw shield, tactical retreat, cloak and dagger, chloroform, Fortify, Armour of Frost, adrenaline and chicken form. (Have everyone learn Pawn as well) You can tactical jump 2x in a turn to get a weak character away from battle for them to completely heal outside of battle, while 2 champion incarnates lay waste and take all the damage from good positioning. Able to beat 5+ level enemies with this.

    Keep creating new characters and party every time i reach end of Act 2. I really like Fire magic for mages and archery for physical damage.

So i end up going physical for most of my parties.

    So while the the precise effects of abilities can't really be measured at this point, we at least know the classes, archetypes, and their signature abilities/restrictions.
    You should do videos preparing folks for BG3 by introducing 5th edition and all the important stuffs about all the classes it has available.

    Personally i have a summoner-necromancer build that is pretty OP and versatile. The only inefficiency is that you can't have more than one summon at a time so you have to use bloated corpse intelligently. But if you start off combat with a supercharged bloated corpse, then spawn a buffed incarnate, after that spend the rest of your turns spamming totems while defending with bone cage, shackles of pain and living on the edge. Combine with undead so you can play-dead if the going gets tough and voila.
