Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Conjurer Class Guide (Tips & Tricks)

The Summoning skill line has many useful abilities that allow the player to have several extra summoned companions. Conjurers have abilities from summoning elemental creatures to charming enemies to fight along the player's side. While this skill line is incredibly useful, alone it will not be eno

An Elf Wayfarer can capitalize on Flesh Sacrifice to secure extra Action Points throughout a match. Despite its initial penalties, players being able to do more with the Elf Wayfarer at the onset gives them opportunities to kill enemies much faster than they can do damage to t

Any of these lines would make a great secondary skill line option depending on the playstyle that is wanted. Depending on the race of the character may also change the decision. If the Conjurer wants a third skill line, choosing another element may be the best option. Other Conjurer combinations could be Hydrosophist and Necromancy for a support role, Geomancy and Warfare for a tanking role, Pyrokinetic and Huntsman for a ranged role, or Aerotheurge and Scoundrel for a stealthy r

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 Emblem Engage 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

The hardy nature of the Dwarf means they excel in becoming sturdier spellcasters or almost-impenetrable tanks, making them rather competent warriors through and through. In the context of character creation, a Dwarf Knight allows players to access a reliable frontline combat build while reaping the defensive benefits of their dwarven line

Mass Cleanse Wounds - Heal the player character and allies within a radius, creating puddles of water beneath them. Also removes Necrofire, Burning, Diseased, Decaying Touch, Poisoned, Bleeding, Suffocation, and Acid status effe

Out of the three, summoning is more useful for a player who wants more distance between them and the enemy. The huntsman skill line is useful for players who only want to use select scoundrel abilities so they can keep a bow equipped instead of dual-wielding daggers. Polymorph is less useful in general but still useful if a player is interested in staying close to their enemies and fading into the background. After that, let's looks at what skills are useful for the Witch in their base skill li

On most level ups you should raise your primary selected attribute, Strength or Intelligence based on weapon. Every few levels also put a point into Wits for critical hit rate, Memory for skill slots, and Strength for heavy armor (if you are wielding a staff). Warfare will give a multiplicative damage boost to your Physical damage, while Pyrokinetic will do the same for Fire damage. Also consider Two-Handed, which will give an additive bonus to all damage types (even better if you are dealing other elements, like Poison or Air) and increase your critical damage multiplier. Also take combat abilities for skill requirements, like Geomancer or Necroman

Additionally, melee characters with Warlord can easily retreat, regroup, or reposition themselves thanks to this feat. More strategic players can use the AP bonus to regroup with the rest of the party or make a strategic retr

This extension might not seem a lot, but Torturer syncs very efficiently with certain spells and builds. Pyromancer builds utilize this Talent by granting their Burning spells an added turn not just to deal DOT but also reduce Fire Resistance, opening enemies up against ski

The Wizard can get more aggressive as they level up, courtesy of the combination of Geomancer and Pyrokinetic Schools. At higher levels, Skills like Fireball, Spontaneous Combustion, Fire Whip, and Laser Ray (Pyrokinetic 2) can cause nasty explosions in surfaces created by Impalement, Earthquake, and Mass Oily Carapace (Geomancer

At higher levels, the Witch’s mastery over Necromancer and Scoundrel should give them an advantage towards both stealthy gameplay and high-risk Vitality plays. The presence of Raise Bone Widow (Necromancer 2) alone should distract enemies long enough for the Witch to attack with Corrupted Blade, Rupture Tendons, or Sawtooth Knife (Scoundrel 2). Should they end up in a tight spot, they can’t be reduced below 1 HP via Living on the Edge and they may have enemies take all their damage with Shackles of Pain (Necromancer

Aggression is key when playing a Pyrokinetic, with surround-based AOE Ignition and long-distance Searing Daggers (Pyrokinetic 1) easily providing decent combat options. More potent AOE Fireball and precise-targeting Laser Ray (Pyrokinetic 2) could make for reliable burst damage Skills while leveling up as w
