All in all, geomancy is likely the best option out of these but depending on the character’s playstyle summoning or hydrosophist are good alternatives if a player is looking to invest in other skill lines. Now that these are out of the way, let’s look at skills players should snag in their base skill li
Players ideally want the best skills to eliminate enemies the fastest. This factor means getting the best AOE or deadliest single-target attacks. However, more strategic players think about battles from a resource perspective . If players want to outlast enemies, they’ve got to ensure they deal optimal damage while retaining great mobility and defense. Peace of Mind can help players meet that criter
Xhaxh’s Staff of Parasitic Decay (Poison Staff): a possible reward for slaying Xhaxh during the quest A Taste of Freedom , started inside Mordus’ basement in Reaper’s Coast. Boosts Memory and Necroman
Despite the usefulness of this skill, players should observe how Death Wish affects their particular character. Others observed that spells receive better damage boosts from Death Wish compared to basic attacks. With this in mind, Death Wish might be of use to spellcasters that often get targeted or to tanks that soak up dam
With this in mind, the only other skills that may work well with these are Summoning, Geomancy, or possibly Hydrosophist if the player wants this character to fill the role of healer too. Summoning and Geomancy can deal both physical and magical damage depending on the skill. Hydrosophist can only really be used for healing and magical damage. Here are the best options in these skill lines for an Inquisi
This skill works best against enemies that are hitting far-off targets but have no means of closing the distance. Moreover, chicken form opponents (via Chicken Claw) will likely receive more damage since they will likely want to move while trapped as poultry. Finally, players can add Haste on a chicken’d opponent for sweeter dam
Scoundrel is a skill-based around stealth attacks. These skills are where the player can decide whether their Shadowblade will be a ranged or melee fighter. Choosing this skill line will require the character to almost always use daggers, but can be used as a projectile or melee weapon. With skills from Backlash to Wind-Up Toy, Scoundrel is the Shadowblade’s integral skill l
Epidemic of Fire (3 Pyrokinetic): a flame jets between up to five targets for massive Fire damage, and creates Cursed Fire surfaces. Mainly reserve this when Master of Sparks in on cooldown, or you need a ranged att
The Shadowblade is one of many pre-made classes in _Divinity: Original Sin II _ , but what should players invest in while playing this class? The Shadowblade is an off-shoot of the rogue class, which is more based in magic. Using stealth and magic, this class can make both a great melee or a ranged figh
Specializing in Aerotheurgy will give access to Electric Infusion, Cursed Electric Infusion in the Summoning skill line. Aerotheurgy uses the power of air and storms to build up the player. This skill line works well for a stealthy supporting role. To the best effect with Summoning, abilities like Favorable Winds, Blinding Radiance, Erratic Wisp, Blessed Smoke Cloud, Teleportation, Nether Swap, Apportation, and Chain Lightn
For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ
Elemental Arrowheads is a good way of further diversifying your damage since you can use any nearby surfaces to change or increase your damage. Ricochet is a good way to attack multiple enemies in one attack. Last, pick either Poison Dart or Contamination , depending on your race and party setup; particularly if you are an Elf like Sebille, who can make blood surfaces with Flesh Sacrifice. For first Talents go for Elemental Affinity to lower your AP costs or Elemental Ranger for more damage against enemies standing on surfa
Specializing as a Hydrosophist will give the Conjurer the Water Infusion and Ice Infusion Summoner abilities. The Hydrosophist uses the power of water and ice to deal damage and heal allies. This specialization would make the Conjurer a full support and healing character. The best Hydrosophist abilities to take for the Conjurer are Rain, Restoration, Cryotherapy, Healing Tears, Cryogenic Stasis, Mass Cleanse Wounds, Vampiric Hunger Aura, Deep Freeze, and Ice Brea
For new Talents aim for tactical RPGs Executioner to regain AP, Hothead for critical hit rate, and Elemental Affinity to reduce AP costs; if you are using more spells than pure melee also get Savage Sortilege to gain magic criticals. With Gift Bags, Sadist will deal Fire damage on Burning targ
