BALDUR'S GATE 3 - Sorcerer/Warlock SORLOCK Multiclass Build Guide (with Magic Items!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лип 2024
- A very deep dive into the Sorlock (Sorcerer and Warlock Multiclass), one of the best Multiclass combinations in BG3. The guide includes optimization for all levels, from character creation all the way to level 12, as well as an in-depth look at recommended magic items and where to find them.
EDIT: Please be aware that I made an error in this video when saying that Warlocks get Medium Armor proficiency. They only get Light Armor proficiency. My apologies!

pick mage hand as your high elf cantrip and firebolt as one of the four cantrips that way it scales of your CHA modifier.
To be fair, Magic Missile is far more useful than "It hits multiple targets". First it uses force damage which is rarely resisted and it always hits so you don't need the to hit roll. Also it does not require line of sight like many spells. So in those ways its lower damage is offset by its utility. I also would take Chromatic Orb but just saying.
Totally. I love the fact the fact that you don’t need line of sight and yes force damage is rarely resisted. The thing is, sometimes I just need to give a quick summary of things otherwise this video would go from 47 minutes to a couple hours. I try and do my best to be thorough while still remaining succinct but it’s a delicate balance.
I usually use it to try to break concentration

Magic missile is also bonkers with lightning charges
I'm about to start my 4th playthrough and your guides are the first ones to give me the confidence to multiclass
I've spent the last couple days absolutely *swimming* in YT vids for builds for my upcoming playthrough party comp. I've gotta say, this is the most direct, sensible build guide I've seen. I appreciate the effort and look forward to seeing more builds from you.
Have been scrambling to find a good, informed and detailed explanation about sorlocks and I've got to say, this is the best I could have asked for. Will be catching up on other multiclass guides you've posted and will be on the lookout for any more you may post. Thanks a bunch!
Fantastic! Glad to hear that. They'll be more coming soon.
what an incredible video. congratulations for putting so much effort into the script, explanation and in-game showcase for what you’re explaining. exactly the video/build i was looking for. subbed and am now going to watch the rest of your videos. keep going 🌸🤍
amazing channel never stop making these high quality vids
I haven't tried this build yet, but just wanted to say great job with the well laid out guide! The video is long, but you cover all bases, and I personally prefer guides like this! Thank you!
Thanks, glad to hear it!
if you dont like having low intel for roleplay purposes you can get the circlet called Warped Headband of Intelect, you get it off those 3 ogres in the blighted village, it sets your intelligence score to 17. you can rock with it for a while honestly, its nice to have in your backpocket.
Very detailed, very helpful video! I love the style! Focused, short (for the content and explanation it covers)! Subacribing right now. Haven’t seen anything else from you yet!
One more thing tho. I’d love to see a short video (5-10minutes) how to use this build effectively. I mean why to multiclass? Eldrich blast is kind of unknown for me, because WL is not appealing for me at all, so I do not get why I’d need it at all. A small explanation how the build applies to a few different situations would be really helpful. Keep on doing videos! Cool content!
Glad to hear it helped! Thanks for the sub!
I think Dexterity is better than Constitution for Sorcerer because:
1. Sorcerers get Con proficiency so the -1 isn't as impactful
2. Draconic Sorcerer effectively gives you +2 Con in terms of HP so that's also an offset of the lower Con.
3. Initiative and AC have good returns for a +1 increase, and since you're using effectively Mage Armor from Draconic feature Dex is better. Also if you don't get hit due to your AC then you won't need to make a Concentration save.
You make some good points but you really can't go wrong with either one. Going with CON is the standard choice in 5e, it's even what's recommend in the Player's Handbook and it's the way I'm used to going. I built this particular character to have a good balance of AC and HP but as I mentioned in the video you can prioritize either CON or DEX and either build will work well.
Couldn't ypu pick up the gloves of dexterity and re-spec with Withers to bump that con up?
@@matturso2224 Exactly this! Use gloves of Dex with Sorc, Esp if you plan on wearing Robes.
Brilliant video. First of your vids I've seen - oozes competance. Thanks for your help.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Careful spell let's allies pass your saving throws but fireball does half damage on a successful saving throw...I learned the hard way
You mean your companions learned that the hard way😂
Yes, good point. It's not like the Evocation Wizard's Sculpt Spell ability. Not quite that powerful. Still though, half damage is better than full.
Thank you for that note, I kept thinking Careful Spell metamagic feat was bugged, as I was seeing party members taking damage from spells like Chromatic Orb etc.
@@Player_1_Gaming I was actually wondering if we could dip into wizard to pick up sculpt but probably not enough levels to do it (without mods)
Markoheshkir is very important for this build I think because the lightning buff on it will be your only reusable 6th level spell. Chain Lightning is an amazing dps and that it just gives you a free cast is amazing.
Big reason why wed take dual wielded here as opposed to war caster or ABI
@@Mr-gz5xndual wield staves is king
The high elf’s firebolt uses your int modifier.
You would almost certainly be better off going half Drow or half wood elf if you really want a shield over dual wielding staffs.
or even staves, lol, jk
It technically has some utility for lighting barrels on fire from a longer range than a thrown torch or candle, but you're definitely on the money. And even in that case odds are you're gonna be bringing one of either Shadowheart or Astarion anyway so it's mostly a moot point. Get that +5 movement speed I say!
Or just pick a non offensive cantrip like friends or mage hand.
The best bg3 video I have seen. The for doing this.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
1. You need Necklace of Elemental Augmentation. If you use lighting charges in your build (Markoheshkir buff/ the Spellsparkler) - they work and combine with the robe
2. Or Amulet of Elemental Torment and stay in fire (1d4 and takes bonus from point 4-5)
3. You can up 24 cha nvm. 17+1 Eitel +2 feet, +2 hat +2 Shar
4. Boots of Arcane Bolstering are bugged, but +4, not +1.
5. Rhapsody, like a boots of acrane bolstering, give you static +3 dmg
6. radiant ring static +2
in my end-game magic missles build ~900dmg 1cast
Thanks for sharing! The video was already running very long so I didn't go over all magic items but these are all great recommendations.
Does elemental augmentation even work? For some reason it doesnt give me the bonus on my single class wiz.
@@castillle3675 they works only for damage with roll, 1d4 etc. - lighting (from Markoheshkir buff/ the Spellsparkler, only for last damage after 5 stacks) and fire (if u stay in). They not works with static +2/3/4 from radiant, rhapsody etc. without dice roll
@@castillle3675 my fault, sorry. I tell you about wrong item - Amulet of Elemental Torment
I’m planning a Psionic Sorlock for my next game. Githyanki for Astral Knowledge so he can be the party face, plus mage hand, once per day enhanced leap, and misty step. Warlock 3 Great Old One for Eldritch Blast, Agonizing Blast, Devil’s Sight, and Darkness. Now you have a character who can hide in darkness immune to spells and ranged attacks, shooting out at targets with advantage. Then one level of Wizard for utility spells and learning scroll spells, and 8 levels of Sorcerer. You still get up to level 5 spells, and you can learn pretty much all of them. Only problem is that you need to either budget some points for INT or wear the Headband of Intellect.
Love it, thx!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Cantrips scale up at levels 5 and 10 (unlike 5e's at 11). Fiend doesn't offer Armor of Agathys, just Warlock in general does. However, you could say you don't want AoA because the temp hp that Fiend can get doesn't stack with it, but AoA is much stronger than the few temp hp you get from Fiend. Also, a Careful Spelled Fireball still hurts your allies, they just succeed on the save and take half damage. It's good for spells like Faerie Fire or Hypnotic Pattern. Only Evocation Wizard can make your allies take no damage from AOE damage spells.
I feel like people are REALLY underestimating storm sorc...taking fiendish vigor in a couple of warlock levels will give you a spammable cast that will pad your HP and let you fly places...without a cooldown. This is SUPER useful for positioning in fights and makes you borderline untouchable in some situations. Not to mention navigating the map is a breeze. You lose a LITTLE bit of damage because of these choices but I believe the utility outweighs this.
I also came here to say this. Also, level 9 in Warlock is underappreciated, because you get two level 5 spells per short rest, including the Song of Rest. If you have people in your party who can play the Song of Rest, that's (2+s)×2=4+2s level 5 spells you can cast per level 9 Warlock per day, where s is the number of people in your party you have who can play the Song of Rest. As an extreme example, if you have 4 level 9 Warlock level 2 Bards, that's (4+2×4)×4=48 level 5 spells per day, up to 32 of which can be cast in a single battle. Admittedly, that only gives you one more level to put into sorcerer at that point, which doesn't allow for flying, in which case you could go level 7 Warlock, 2 Bard, 2 Sorcerer to allow for flying as a free action after casting a level 1 or higher spell.
High elf cantrip can be changed btw I typically get the friends cantrip with a charisma character since advantage is always nice in dialogue.
My lae’zel is a sorlock. Medium armor on a caster is phenomenal.
Great video! New subscriber
Thanks! Much appreciated.
I'm not a multi-class guy ordinarily, but I think I may try this on the Sorc I just made for a more thorough run. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! Have fun!
Spineshudder Amulet also synergies with Eldrich blast. Once you hit level 10 you get 6 reverberation per casting (2 per bolt) which procs ( procs at 5) giving another 1-4 damage and knocks target prone so know you have knock back with prone and more damage. That or hit multiple targets per debuff 2-3 for 2 turns which then synergies with thunderskin cloak which dazed reverbed attackerst.
Sorlock is my favorite multiclass.
As you say with "careful spell" your allies will succed their saving throws but that doesn't mean you dont have to worry about your teammates when you cast your aoe spells because they will take a half of the damages anyway..
Second point, it is a bit surprising to build a blaster mage without the feat spell sniper which multiply your chances to get a crit with your spells by 2.
Personally I would take one level of wizard to get acces to all the situational non-offensive spells and focus my sorcerer spells on the damage dealing ones.
I love this build! Only one question, since I am already a high elf sorlock and cannot use the shield, is it better to pick shield proficiency as first feat instead of cha +2?
Mage armor doesn’t work with Draconic Bloodline. You already get the +3AC for free.
If you take high elf for the cantrip, take friends. The attack stat for elvish cantrips is int.
Fun video, great class.
Exactly. Mage Armor would be a waste with this build, take Shield instead. Good point with INT being the modifier for the High Elf, I should've mention that.
For the first feat I would suggest alert. The +5 to initiation is op in baldurs gate 3 since in it initiative is rolled with d4 and not d20. Alert makes you character to move first almost every battle. You can pick ability score later as it is imo less useful.
Maybe I’ll make a run where I do this on Wyll and be myself a vanilla warlock.
And you my friend have a very good sympathetic voice, thanks for this well made video.
Sorlock tiefling is my next one I think, taking it with a sort of makeshift arcane trickster vibe
Great guide! I wish the feral nature of the ttrpg community didn't necessitate apologizing for min maxing. Nothing wrong with it since you're not forcing anyone else to do it.
You can still pick armour of agathys as a great old one or the other option.
U a real one for including items but not making them necessary for the build to function
My build is 6 Sorc 5 Lock and 1 Rogue. Rogue interaction with spell casters is surprisingly flexible and so powerful, you can play it so many ways. 6 Sorcerer and 1 Rogue is superior because it offers both elemental affinity and sneak attack, 5 Warlock giving you 3 short rest lvl 3 spell slots and EB. Rogue adds it’s sneak attack damage to our attack roll spells. Most cantrips can get a sneak attack bonus Including Fire Bolt and EB. Sneak Attack adds 1d6 of damage to our spells and attacks once per turn.
Combine with 3 pieces of gear makes all your cantrips deal crazy amounts of damage.
1. STALKER GLOVES - Skullduggery Attack: Your Sneak Attack Sneak Attack deals an additional 1d4 damage.
2. NECKLACE OF ELEMENTAL AUGMENTATION - Elemental Augmentation: When one of your Cantrips deals Damage Types Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage, add your Spellcasting Modifier to the damage dealt. Sadly does not work with EB.
3. POTENT ROBE - Gregarious Caster: Your cantrips deal additional damage equal to your Charisma Modifier. Does work with EB
Its worth going to level 4 lock for Scaling Cantrips: Your damaging cantrips gain an additional damage die. And Improved Warlock Spell Slots. Sorc 6 still allows you to twincast haste, fireball fire wall. Coruscation Ring & Callous Glow Ring are an amazing Ring Combo for massive damage. It also adds it’s damage to Sneak Attack, Stalker Gloves, Phalar Aluve: Shriek and more.
Yeah Sneak Attack is great, a dip in Rogue is always an option. Thanks for sharing!
How do you make sneak attack working? Wearing light weapon in a hand? If it is so you can't use staves... Anyway, I think using sneak attack for spells or unarmed attacks is a bug and shouldn't be used.
Appreciate the effort. That said, mainly sorcerer and a bit of warlock doesn't really offer much for BG3 in my opinion over pure Sorcerer. In D&D it works because of spell+quickened EB etc, but in BG3 you 're not limited to a cantrip after casting a spell so Eldtitch kinda loses its value. It's still decent if you want to save some spell slots but not strong enough to go on par with what you 're losing from pure lvl 12 Sorc imo
What robe do your reccomend if you want to play evil and burn the grove (which presumably would make potent robe unavailable)?
Imo dex is way better than con, 1 extra initiative actually makes a huge difference, and if enemies miss attacks that means you don’t have to bother with any saving throws associated with those attacks. Also dex saving throws for aoe attacks.
At the end of the day, you lose concentration less by just getting hit less rather than having +1 to that saving throw.
You make a big deal about using wet conditions to synergize lighting or cold damage, but I don't see what you are using to reliably apply wet? I was thinking of taking shape water as my high elf cantrip to do that.
The only thing that sucks about picking a dmg dealing racial cantrip is that it will use INT for the spell while as a Sorc and Lock you will using Charisma for your spells. =0(
NVM, several people beat me to this. lol
That odd point in charisma is really annoying me. If you're playing through those early levels, that extra point does nothing. You can take charisma down to 16 without any penalties and increase one of your dump stats by 2, improving one of your saves. Once you get something (an item or feat) that gives you +1 to charisma, respects are so cheap, you can redo your build at that time.
I won't spoil it, but there's a certain quest that allows you to increase any stat by 1.
I always max out the primary stat to 17, then get it to 18 as quickly as possible. However, after I finished this video I realized that I should've recommended when you take the ASI to put +1 in CHA and +1 in CON the first time around so you're not stuck at 19, then take the +2 CHA the second time. That said, as mentioned, there is indeed a in game item that can give you a +1 in any stat. If you get that then I would recommend taking a feat at some point instead.
Eh, early game saving throws aren’t that important. I just value the time saved by not respeccing a caster, when you can get up to 18 by level 5 pretty easily.
My preference is 1 level Sorcerer, then 5 levels Warlock, then back to Sorcerer for the rest of the game.
My reason is to get another Warlock Invocation for Devil Sight and the 3rd level spell Arms of Hadar.
It's so easy to drop Arms at a choke point and use Repelling Blast to keep enemies in the AoE.
Personally the high half elf I like to make my bonus cantrip Friends instead of fire bolt
you do know the firebolt from the Elven/1/2 Elven races are base off of intelligence, and not the class ie Charisma? I normally switch out the race cantrip with something benign like Mage Hand, then choose firebolt from sorcerer so it will work from Charisma.
Ya....about the narrative thing, though I agree with the concept, min/max is not realistic at all for example: 8 in Intel means you have a 80 IQ, meaning you are just above being mentally handicap (75 IQ) 10 is actually the 'average' stat.
Ahh. Did miss that robe in the moonshine tower. Dam.
I missed it on my first playthrough too. My jailbreak plan for the Tieflings and Gnomes went to shit 😂
The High Elf cantrip got buffed? It can use Wis and Cha now? Thats cool
No, it's still INT. That was an oversight by me.
Pick up dual wielding for one of your feats so you can wield both markoheshkir and spell sparkler for even more lightning damage. A shield is not needed imo if you blast hard enough.
Also a very good option. Thanks for sharing!
Plus DW feat gives +1 ac so you don’t lose much without the shield. But yeah theres tons of staves worth dual wielding.
How do you get access to create water as a sorclock, is there a magic item that’s a staple to your playthrough or is it worth pumping a point into cleric or taking a magic initiate feat?
Great guide and explanation but I think it might be better to take 4lvl warlock and 8 lvl Sorc so that char gets 3 feats. Also, dual wielding staves to get good bonuses from them is great. I will convert Wyll into this build.
Thanks! Yeah taking 4 lvls of Warlock will get you all 3 feats, along with a few other goodies, but just be aware that you'll be giving up lvl 5 spells in exchange for it. You're already giving up lvl 6 spells by multiclassing in the first place so just something to be aware of when planning your build.
Playing this now, my sorc is lvl 9, when should i dual spec?
i have a question, i have a warlock level 5 and only 2 eldritch blast, how did you get 3?
Did they patch Warlock or maybe is it because I'm in Honor Mode?
You get 3 at level 11
Doesn't the firebolt cantrip from the race use your intelligence rather than charisma?
The ac boost from draconic sorcerer actually does NOT stack with mage armor sadly
For anyone who doesn't want to pick dogshit cantrips, if you're going with a CHA caster, don't pick a damage cantrip for your race cantrip. Those use INT. Take Mage Hand or something like that.
Also, just dont take Fire Bolt. Fire Bolt sucks. It does okay damage, but if you are planning on dipping in Warlock or taking Spell Sniper, you'll already have the best damage cantrip.
Take something that provides some sort of utility on top of damage as well, like Ray of Frost (halves movement) or Chill Touch (prevents healing).
Try putting 2 lvls of fighter in there instead of the last 2 sorcerer to get action surge for another blast on short rest. I do this because im hardly casting anything else besides eldrich blast.
how does one bring up the metamagic tool bar ?!! Im on a pc but I should be able to choose between my metamagics
Gale, its time to respec!
Thanks for the guide brother.
Any warlock can get armor of agathys. It's a warlock spell.
So if I respec Gale at Level 5-6 for this build, would I miss out on the 1-5 Sorcerer perks or it doesn’t matter?
Why not start with warlock for the eldritch blast? Was there a save proficiency you can only get if you start with the sorcerer at level 1 (if you respec into it at like level 10)
Yes, you get Con save proficiency as a Sorcerer, which is extremely helpful
Wait, if you drop the water staff then how do you continue to create water for the extra ice and lightning damage?
Water bottles? Or let Shadowheart make the rain dance for you.
I'm sad witch bolt isn't working as intended. It's soppose to let you concentrate on 2 opponents with the spell with sorcerer's twin cast. But a bug occurs causing concentration to break as soon as they connect. I've been able to utilize a couple times in the beggining but it's bugged otherwise.
How do you have act 3 gear in act 1
Definitely why try this build, but was going warlock to 5 first. My eldrich blast misses like 80% of the time and my charisma is up to 20 pts. At lvl 4.....everywhere I see warlocks suppose to be great, yet it misses way to much to be considered worth it??? Anyone know why this spell is missing so much? I even turned karmic dice off
How does multiclassing in warlock give you medium armor proficiency? I only got light armor proficiency.
Some races like Gith have built-in armor proficiencies.
Mage armor is not a good choice at all even without a shield because you already get an overlapping AC bonus from draconic bloodline. They do not stack.
If you end up using the Sorcerer’s robe then why do you even need the armor proficiency?
At level 5 I would have replaced sleep instead of chromatic orb it has nice cold damage and sleep is pretty much useless at this point
You could certainly do that, the only reason I keep it a little long is because you can upcast it. At that point you can swap out either one, ultimately you'll replace both.
I would second this, but for different reasons.
Sleep has no save and can be upcast, which makes it good for a quick sure shot removal of threats. Twin for more fun.
But the chromatic orb, when set to lightning, leaves an electrified puddle behind. Which becomes normal water the next round. The electric puddle synergies well with the lightning charge set boots, and the water puddle with cold/lightning spells.
Basically a level 1 slot for a smaller water source than create water.
Also, the ice patch from an icy orb may be more useful than the damage itself. 😅
How does this compare to D4's Sorlock? He goes fighter at lvl 1 for the heavy armor proficiency then 2 levels of warlock, another level of fighter at level 4 then the rest into sorcerer. So you end up with 2 fighter, 2 warlock and 8 into sorcerer.
You will end up using a robe that adds Cha to the damage of your Cantrips (on top of the Invocation), i think that 10 sorc/2 Warlock is better
While a 2 level dip in fighter can be helpful for any class, I think in this case you’re giving up too much. By only taking Sorc to 8 then you’re losing access to level 5 spells. That’s a big sacrifice. Ultimately it just depends on what kind of PC you’re building. If you want more of a gish type then taking fighter is fine. But if you want more of a straight spellcaster, I think this is the way to go.
A 2 warlock 8 sorcerer is a 10 spellcaster so they can use L5 spells.
@@Player_1_Gaming If you are going for an Eldritch Blast build, then Fighter 2, is amazing, it gives you yet another Eldritch Blast cast, No feat gives you that. It's also enough to get exactly the ASIs you need, +2 to Cha and Spell Sniper (for a bit better Crit chance and with SO many Blasts, it's a good bonus).
Are you sure? I was thinking warlock spell levels dont help like others do. @@donkeysunited
You can change you fiend starting spells
Warlocks only get light armour, not medium. Just a little correction.
Yes. You're right. I don't know why I was thinking Medium Armor. Goes to show you I always put my Spellcasters in robes. Thanks for sharing though, I'm going to type up a correction in the video's description.
19:00 are those robes in game or a mod cause i want em 👌🏾
What were those rag looking robes you were wearing with the hood
It’s the cloak and hood from The Weave set that I mention in the video. At the end of the video I touch upon them and where to get each piece from the set.
In bg3, cantrips level at 5 and 10. It threw me at first, too, being a long time 5e player
Damn! I knew that too but yeah I'm so used to thinking they increase at 11 because of 5e that I must've just misspoke. For the record, I do like that Larian changed it to 10 seeing as how we cap our level at 12.
If i start warlock can i still make this build work🥹
Is the Eletric Dragon heritage better than a Storm Sorcerer for a Tempest Cleric?
Eh...that's a different build. I've yet to multiclass a Cleric so it's hard for me to say off the top of my head. If I had to guess though, Storm Sorcerer might be better for the Tempest Cleric.
I think if you go draconic you give up being able to cast call lightning based off CHR, Tempest Cleric gets it but based on wisdom and between the limited items that boost wisdom and CHR your spreading too thin cause all draconic will give you is adding Chr to your wisdom based lightning spells while storm gives you call lightning based on chr and you can focus on getting one stat to 20+. I personally enjoy 6 storm/6 tempest. Draconic bloodline just ensures your low rolls are not super low as a 20 in Chr is a for sure your doing 6 damage off that element of spell
Also if you go tempest/storm you can always ensure max damage thru the cleric as long as you have charges
@xxomega702buzzalini8 good point! I hope this gets fixed. I admittedly haven't checked in a patch or two but my sorcerer cleric used wisdom on the first cast of call lightning, then charisma on the subsequent recasts... and my Jen had 8 charisma 😂
Hold up, when you put your Con from 16 to 17 it showed your HP increasing from 82 to 92, but then when you leveled it went from 82 to 90? Am I missing something? Lol
😳 WTF?! You're right! I don't think that carried over to the game. I'm pretty sure that it just appeared like while leveling up. Probably just a bug.
That shouldn't even change your HP at all. 16=+3 and 17=+3 so it's literally the same amount of HP. Always go for even numnbers.
What dye is that on your robes?
Cantrips from High Elf are based off INT meaning not good for non INT classes
You can still pick a Cantrip who doens't use a Save or attack roll
Medium armor is way stronger than the shield proficiency you're way better off late game dual wielding staffs then having a shield and being in medium armor. I played a gith sorlock and ended up wearing the agile half plate you get at the blacksmith next to sorcerer sundries. It's a plus two half plate with a plus two to to all saves and with dual wielder you have 20 AC this can also be done with a dwarf if you're willing to give up the movement speed.
Also firebolt is definitely not the highest damage cantrip in the game. Eldridge blast is by far the highest damage.
Taking mage armor as draconic would never make sense, they don't stack AC
Right. You’re the 2nd person to comment so I must not be clear in the video. I say that while Mage Armor is a good spell, it would be a waste on this build and to take Shield instead. I guess I wasn’t clear. But yes, you’re right, definitely don’t take Mage Armor.
Why would you ever take high elf for firebolt, when you are going to use the best cantrip in the game, eldritch blast. And the high elf cantrip scales of int, too which makes it really annoying. I'd definitively go wood elf for the free movement speed.
Yes, a bolthrower or bow is better I think. If you want to light something up just throw a Molotov.
It is better sorlock or pure sorcerer?
It depends what’s important to you. The big thing you get with adding Warlock is Eldritch Blast with the invocation bonuses. This is especially powerful in BG3 if you use my recommended magic items. Even though it’s just one spell, the fact that it’s a cantrip and you can just spam it is huge.
If you go pure sorc then you’ll get an extra feat at the end of the game as well as Lvl 6 spells. Both are good options, just depends on the PC you want to build.
You could use the extra Sorc feat to get the Warlock cantrips and spell. You get EB and can take Hex, while also getting the extra sorcery point. EB will level up but you won't get the invocation bonuses.
You'll get L6 spells with both builds as they're both full spellcasters.
@@donkeysunited As @Player_1_Gaming points out you won't level 6 spells on both builds. Warlocks are not full spellcasters, they use pact magic, it's completely separate. For @mar3x268 the reason to go this build is to get the extra damage on eldritch blast. Just as @Player_1_Gaming once again points out. IMO it's a strong choice. Having a 50+ damage no resource cantrip, that you can easily cast twice per turn as you are a twin spell sorcerer is great. The choice of which is better, well that's an argument for the ages.
No disintegrate??
Firbolt scaling off intellgence is a no go. Do minor illusion, mage hand, or friends instead.
I see you fell for the constitution increase bug. Going from 16 to 17 con does not give you more hit points, it's just a bug on the level up screen. As you can see the extra HP immediately disappears when you go to the next level up screen. It would also disappear if you were leveling up naturally as soon as you left the level up screen.
The main issue with taking "dips" into a class is you lose a Feat. You get a feat every 4 class levels, so going 2 levels sorcerer and 10 levels sorcerer you only get 2 feats
Dipping into multiclass is always better than getting 1 feat more. And if it isnt, its a bad multiclass to do anyway. 1 feat is way less than what some multiclasses allow at 2-3 levels.
Yeah, what @samuraidoggy said. There's always an opportunity cost to multiclassing and losing a feat is often one of them. However, if the multiclass build is a good one, the dip you take in another class should more than make up for losing a feat. In this case it definitely does. For this build to work properly, you must take the two levels of Warlock. That said, as mentioned in the video, you can stay single classed sorc and be just fine too.
@@Player_1_GamingYeah for example for fighter classes; dipping 3 levels to thief to get an extra bonus attack is way better for a dual wielder or barbarian, than 1 feat can ever offer. Its 1 extra attack per round, there isnt any feat as good as that.
First
Why use moruning frost over spell sparkler? Just curious?
How do I get them wet debuffed? I can't find the water spell to learn??
You can use the Create Water spell which can be picked up by Druid, Cleric, or Strom Sorc. Or you can get it by getting the Raindancer Staff that I touch upon in the magic item section of this video. You can also just through a bottle of water on someone too.
You can also throw water bottles with a mage hand, or a conjuration wizard gets create water for free.
Wait I thought at the beginning you picked half elf/high elf but at lvl 8 you're human????
Can't use haste and hex
That’s correct, you can’t use them simultaneously because they’re both concentration spells. You’ll have to be selective. I recommend having an additional spellcaster in your party so you can both be concentrating on two different spells at once.
pointless hi elf cantrip as a lock you get eldrch blast the best cantrip. Wood elf extra move
Hurr durr dey/dem
There is a very broken thing that any Sorcerer can do. If you find a magical item that grants an additional spell slot, you can equip the shield, spend the spell slot to make sorcery points, and then unequip the item. When you reequip the item you will get the 'unused' extra spell slot back and you can make more sorcery points. I got about 40 sorcery points in 10 minutes of looping the equipment on and off. Infinite spell slots for the day since you can convert your sorcery points back to any level of spell slots. The Harpers in act 2 sell a shield with this ability
😂 bruh you did it backwards 😂😂 warlock dips in sorc not scorc in to warlock you lose so much dmg that ways
Curious...explain? Warlock with dip into sorc loses the benefit of sorc points for... ?what benefit?
@@hme850 not very good at vocabulary are you? More point in warlock only need meta magic from sorc. Losing way to dmg in loss of elt blast if you take more of sorc.
Using warlock spell slots to get more sorcery points doesn’t work in the game right now.
That's true. I don't think that's a bug though. That's a famous exploit in 5e where you can short rest to bring back Warlock slots and keep getting Sorc points. Obviously in BG3 you are limited to 2 short rests so you can only take that so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if Larian still decided to not allow that in order to keep balance.
It work but only after you spend all others lvl 1 slots.
Get. To. The. Point!
