i have a lolth female drow priestess of lolth, my evil campaign ......i have a paly sorc dragonborn saiyan good camp.........working on a neutral camp, as a necromancy tsk tsk hehe my lolth is balanced, and my paly golden dragon sorc is a honor lol unfortently upon creating my necro black dragon, he has well not died but lost out on killing commander zhalk like im getting the worst rolls , lol ahhhhh this one is hard it is hard...................LOL great video though helped me with things, kept the mind thinking awesomely done.
Act 2 Lann Tarv trader in moonrise towers sells 2x potions of angelic slumber per day. Stock up as many as you can. Consume all your first and second level spell slots into sorcery points, then pop one of those bad boys open and have a little nap. Repeat until you reach desired amount of sorcery points, and then nuke the boss with quickened/twinned spells (eldritch blast goes crazy on sorcerer!)
There's a staff in the Druid Grove that has Create/Destroy Water. Make a water surface over a group of enemies using the staff or throw water bottles at them. Using lightning or ice spells on wet surfaces automatically doubles the damage and electrifes the enemies, making them lose their reaction. Have funnnnnn
I think it's worth mentioning that by starting as a sorcerer you also get proficiency in constitution saving throws making it even easier to not break concentration. So if you multi class with another caster you most likely want to start as a sorcerer. On a side note my favorite multi class is 2 warlock 10 sorcerer because you can burn all you spell slots and meta magic and still have eldritch blast to be a good source of damage for longer fights. Or you can focus on eldritch blast and get up to 9+ blasts a turn for a couple turns with haste and quickened spell
Im doing a morning Frost build. Im sorc 6, rogue 3, fighter 1. I dual wield the morning frost in my off hand. I use my action to ray of frost and possibly chill them, then i swing 2x with my bonus action. Its the only way i could think of to make us of the whole weapon. Stats are 16 str. 16 cha, 14 con and I took dual wielder feat
I agree scarlett witch is a good representation of a sorcerer she even does metamagic like things. Dr. Strange would be more of a wizard he doesnt really do all that much bending of magic as using knowledge of it. Also cool that you added a pop culture reference for the classes now. I find that helps people get the idea.
Strange is very specifically a Storm Sorc1(for fly), Knowledge Cleric of Mystra 2( because doctor and knowledge and magic), Divination Wizard 9 (because seeing the future). Sage background for arcana and history , Expertise in religion and nature from cletic domain, knowledge of the ages daily for proficiency in all WIS skills, Deception and Persuasion ad ,Sorcerer starting skills, Thaumaturgy for advantage in all Intimidation and Performance checks, Investigation as his human bonus skill. Congrats, he's now the insufferable know-it-all he's supposed to be.
I actually played this as my main once, replacing Investigation with Sleight of hand. With a party member that has enhance ability, it really is a great option for a support skill monkey Tav.
I really appreciate it. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy the game, and I'm happy I was able to help with that in some way! There's a ton of content in the game, so it'll be entertaining a lot of us for a long time, I'm sure.
my 1st Tav was a draconic sorc. I did some respecs testing out stuff always as a pure draconic sorc without ilithid powers. Mostly when I got new equipment or level up that gave ideas. Anyways, at the point draconic sorcs get the bonus elemental damage I stuck yo fire with heat gear. Only used fireball from markoheshkir as scorching ray upcast was giving more heat convergence. I was doing balanced difficulty and, for that, this was very strong
Thanks for doing these videos I seen your bard one and it made Me make collage of swords bard I never played that class before and I'm having a blast so far it's my favorite 😊
I’m really enjoying this one. Well done. :-) I have been using one of the unlimited sorcery point tactics with a Tempest Cleric 2 / Wizard 1 / Sorcerer 9. Three maximized Chain Lighting spells at the start of most combats, and that’s before counting Haste or the Elixir of Bloodlust. It really outclasses any other caster build I’ve tried. :-)
@@PanicRolling there are a few good methods, but my favorite: There are two shields that give you an extra Level 1 spell slot, and an amulet that gives you a level two slot. Go to your custom tab and hotkey your spell slot item, create sorcery points, and create spell slot. Now, right after a long rest, convert all of your Level 1 or 2 spell slots (whichever matches your spell slot granting item) to sorcery points. As long as you have not yet cast a spell of that level that day, the spell slot creating item will still work; create a spell slot. Now convert it to sorcery points. Now repeat. With hot keys, it’s time consuming but not bad. You can start your day with as many spell points as you are willing to build. And your already powerful sorcerer is just a damage machine. The other method is using potions & elixirs. I don’t like that as much, as it costs gold and the potions aren’t unlimited, but it can be a little faster.
@@Unknowngnostic there’s a quick guide in this thread. :-) Grab an item that adds a spell slot, then before you cast any spells that day start converting spell slots of the appropriate level into sorcery points and equip the item, convert the new slot to sorcery points, then un equip and re equip and repeat.
casting a silenced spell also makes it so it doesn't make any sound when you cast. making it really usefull to throw a few spells at enemies before combat starts
This is not about the Sorc but if you like Tempest cleric another good option is 2 levels of Paladin. With the thunder smites that you can guarentee a crit from with Illithid power and then you can follow up with a divine smite on crit. Insane damage with a meele attack. Not only that you still have all the utility of the cleric with good thunder and Lightning spells that you can use destructive wrath on.
If you're working on druids, do try the Tempest 3/ Spores 8/ Wizard 1 summoner build. I had 19 permanent summons by end game😆, including all the extra ones like the deva, Shovel and Danse Macabre. Not to mention the Water/Call Lightning/Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning combos you can do from the back.
@@PanicRollingUp to you man, I just want people to have fun with new ideas, wherever they come from. Be warned though, this build can be a game breaker in more ways than one. I wouldn't drag this army with me in CPU intensive areas like the Rivington bridge Also, a semi cheesy trick for summon spells, you can cast the summon and then remove the spell from your prepared list. The summon stays, and you can put other spells in for variety.
Imo it's better to trade 2 sorcerer levels for 2 magician levels. You can aoe without hurting your teammates and you can learn the 6th level spell chain lightning with a scroll. You get 17 int with the ogre's item.
Sounds like a great plan to me. I love Wizard dips, to unlock the limitless utility of being able to learn every single scroll you pick up forever...it's literally absurd.
I started 12 Sorc in my first ever playthrough. I added 2 Evo wizard levels for reasons already mentioned. It has by now (d)evolved into a Rogue1/Warlock2/Sorcerer6/Wizard1/Cleric2 monstrosity. It's still the best pure caster build I've ever played,though.
One of my favorite characters I ever played was a half-red dragon fighter-sorcerer-spell sword with Arcane Strike. I would go around sacking 6th lvl spell slots for +6/+6d4 to all my melee attacks for the round (including opportunity attacks). She was a bit light on HP, but oh boy, did she pack a punch. You did not want to be in melee range of her great sword. I am going to recreate her in BG3 as a Red Dragonborn Sorcadin of Vengeance.
@@PanicRolling yea, she was fun to play. She was the melee equivalent of a glass cannon, tons of melee damage. But light on HP. And chaotically charging in head first into any battle.
Yours are by far my favorite class guides. Very well explained, good pacing, good insights, clearly spoken. (I'm not native speaker, and many youtubers speak so quickly!) The dad jokes are bonus 😂
10:00 you can actually use someone with a bow/crossbow and from the top of the stairs shoot the silence sphere till its destroyed without starting combat. Same for a few enemies so long as you dont go too far into the room.
i use tempest cleric with storm sorc on shadowheart, with the legendary trident and gloves that switch places with opponents upon throw. upon lightning damage, the trident gets infused, i throw it, it creates a thunder explosion then i switch places with the hit target. very fun
Loving these class breakdowns, just started a new playthrough as sorcerer but don't usually play as one in other rpgs so these sort of vids have really helped me understand. Can't wait to watch the rest of ur vids dude.
+ Early game you can find a staff that allows you to cast create water once per short rest. It's extremely useful in Act 1 because you get to save spell slots
@@QRM00 Is even more useful to give it to a party member, espacially if it has higher initiative. This way they can cast it on enemies to make them wet before your Cleric.
Great guide! At around the 15-minute mark, where you show that Withers does not care if you steal from him, I just wish the devs made it so you absolutely cannot steal from him on Honour mode at least. I feel it takes the fun out of the game if you're on Honour and you know you can have infinite resurrects like that, and of course, infinite respecs.
I felt the same way for a bit, until I came within about 2 milliseconds of losing my run at the end of Act 2... Then I gave up the Honour part and decided this is a fight for my life. Because I'm bad. Hehehehe
I made a Strength 💪 Ice ❄️ White 🤍 Draconic 🐲 Sorcerer 🧙♂️ Grey Half-Orc named Qanok with 16 Strength, 10, Dexterity, 14 Constitution, 8 Intelligence, 8 Wisdom, & 17 Charisma. Also does The Elemental Feat stack with Dragonic Elemental?
You can create sorcery points by using the extra spell slots from elixirs of arcane cultivation and the quickend spell works on scrolls. By collecting elixirs and chain lightning scrolls you can get so overpowered in act three.
I have tweaked the Meta Magic here and there for certain fights. Convert all Spell Slots 1-4 into Sorc Points, then refilling them all into Level 5 Spell slots which is the highest you can refill. Yes, you will only end up with only 5 total level 5 Spell Slots, and 1 Level 6 (which you can squeeze 2 out of with Markoheshkir Staff), but when you need to absolutely nuke something quick and just long rest after, it works great.
Do the final situation he talked about but this time have someone get those enemies wet first making all the enemies vulnerable (double damage) to lightning damage…
Funnily enough, I have chosen to play wild magic for my first honor run. I'm half way through act 2 right now and the surges have been mostly beneficial to me. Especially that one time, when I buffed my team armed with blunt weapons with guaranteed hit and crit on the next attack during the grym fight and killed him in 2 turns. But I also almost lost the run at level 3, when I have used a false life scroll for the lols and sprouted thorns all around my half dead party, panicked and started to run out instead of jumping out-.-
Extended Spell is consistently underrated among Dorc( obviously Sorc, but ill leave that typing blunder in cause we're all Sorc Dorcs) users. Early game, extended blade ward will last you 4 turns, at which pointost fights should be over. Great especially if you can precast it before engaging, even greater throughout the game if you are multiclassed into a thief spellsword build as a great deal of your damage comes from the left hand anyway. Late game , extended Globe of Invul ( even from a scroll ) for 6 turns is a literal game winner by itself. Nothing you get at that point from distant or careful will beat that.
Those are great examples. Just be careful not to put your whole party under that Globe in certain fights... Some of the late-game encounters have a knack for knocking you Prone and instantly dropping your Globe, leaving your nicely grouped party open to some aoe damage. (Look to Wolfheart's Honour Mode video for a good example of this almost ending his run.) But if you do it strategically and intelligently (impossible for me), you're absolutely right...6 turns of Globe is OP as hell.
I know, but I had Minthara as a pal9/warlock 3 healing build with a 22 charisma (+6 saving throws to everyone close with Aura of Protection) and my Sorc had advantage on all saving throws except Str and Cha when I first tried the method, so unless the prone wad scripted, I wasn't worried. Man, I was watching Wolf live, yelling to my screen "Don't walk into that fkin cloud!". That was funny, unless you're Wolf...
I am going to attempt honour mode v2 (less pressure now I have done it) using only full casters, so it's nice to get good breakdowns on here of some I haven't used.
Storm Sorc is so busted after you get that one Legendary Staff in Act 3. Upcast Create Water then twinned Chain Lighting wipe almost every enemies from whole room. And I just almost one-shot Last Boss in Honour Mode with 6th upcast Chromatic Orb Crit.
Good video, but no one should be discouraged from Draconic bloodline just because Storm gets fly at lvl 1 vs 11. Storm is great, don’t get me wrong, but the draconic damage modifier can be HUGE. Charisma is easy to get to 20 and 22, and can even reach 24, so you are adding 5-7 damage to each attack. A spell like Scorching Ray (fire bloodlines, ofc) applies this to every single ray, so it’s 5-7 damage added 3-7 times! Constant ability to fly at 11 does let you use it in more situations than Storm, and without spending a spell slot that you might want to keep in reserve. You don’t get the opportunity attack resistance, and flight is probably more likely to save your life early game when you have bad hp/defenses, but in my experience you are lvl 11+ for most of act 3 anyway and it’s plenty useful to fly on command! If you don’t mind re speccing, storm from 1-5 and then draconic at 6 (when draconic damage modifier comes online) is a fun progression if you want to turn your sorcerer from a useful all rounder to a damage power house Edit: Illithid flight is great, but Act 3 is when you can get your Dragon Sorc’s charisma up past 20, so even a half-illithid Dragon Sorc is still going to feel like a strong sub class
Oh for sure, Draconic Bloodline as a whole is incredible. And getting flight is always great. It just doesn't feel great as the only real lvl 11 bonus they get. Especially if you've gone down the tadpoles route... because you might already have flight from that plot thread. But I love the subclass, and you're right about that extra damage being huge!
@@PanicRolling That’s fair, I probably underestimate how many people opt for the evolved powers. By the way, just noticed this is your first ever series of videos. I can tell these took a lot of effort, especially editing, it’s really impressive!
Hey dude, love ur vids, I will say tho that I think fly at lvl 11 for draconic bloodline is actually pretty good, the only thing making it not so great is the fly ability from the astral tadpole which some players like myself don’t want to take as it makes your character look ugly, I got the draconic fly on my dark urge and it felt really good
I appreciate it! Gaining the ability to fly is awesome, for sure! But compared to some of the other 10th and 11th level bonuses in this game, it's definitely on the more disappointing side. Trust me though, I'll never complain about extra mobility. I just wish it weren't so easy to get Flight from other sources. At much earlier levels for some of them.
@@PanicRolling totally fair, I think it’d feel a lot more strong (and would be) if illithd fly wasn’t as easy to get or wasn’t in the game so I get what ur saying, ty for responding 🙂
Yeh 100% if you couldn't get it so easily from the tadpoles, it would be amazing. Or if the tadpole option had harsher consequences... As it stands, it's basically just free upgrades with no downside besides looking ugly.
@@PanicRolling because I’m kind of dumb and didn’t read my abilities. I had no idea why it was doing so much more damage and causing AOE shit to happen I figured it was something in subclass now I know the answer lol
In my game ice knife CANNOT be twined. Probably patch related , i don't know, but everytime i use the twined spell option the ice knife spell is among those that are greyed out (my spell slots are all full) Cya mate
They just recently changed this, actually. It also removed Chain Lightning from the list of spells that can be Twinned. Storm Sorcs took a big hit that day.
@@PanicRolling It makes sense if you ask me. You might want to check it for the fireball spell too, as they may have changed it for every AOE spell. Keep it up bro. Beside the fart stuff i really liked your video. CYA
Baldurs gate buffed it. Normally you arent supposed to be casting 2 leveled spells in 1 turn. Also twinned spell is getting nerfed in the new rules. But yeah the way it is in baldurs gate 3 is busted.
The most broken thing is that you only need 3 levels of Sorc. Multiclassed into another full caster like Abjuration wizard, with the spell slot restoration amulets and Arcane recovery, you get more Sorc points than a base 12 level Sorc.
No that's not normal lol. You can get items that will allow you extra spell casts per day, but other than those...I don't know how you'd end up with 4 level 6 spell slots
@PanicRolling making them with scorcer points sacrificing 1-3 level (all 4 of the 1-3 spell slots) to make them if I need a new 6 level spell slot. It kill scorcer points but worth it.
My favorite bg3 channel strikes again. It soothes the storm that is creating a new character to do act 1 again because my curiosity is untameable
Same here

I’ve been searching for a video that would break it down easy and I finally found it. So many were waste of time
I have tweaked the Meta Magic here and there for certain fights. Convert all Spell Slots 1-4 into Sorc Points, then refilling them all into Level 5 Spell slots which is the highest you can refill. Yes, you will only end up with only 5 total level 5 Spell Slots, and 1 Level 6 (which you can squeeze 2 out of with Markoheshkir Staff), but when you need to absolutely nuke something quick and just long rest after, it works great.
Do the final situation he talked about but this time have someone get those enemies wet first making all the enemies vulnerable (double damage) to lightning damage…
Yep, it seriously gets nutty very quickly. Nothing like deleting an entire combat scenario in a single turn.
Instant sub dude you’re so underrated
Much appreciated!
You're accent reminds me of home lol. I grew up around people that have your same accent lol.
Funnily enough, I have chosen to play wild magic for my first honor run. I'm half way through act 2 right now and the surges have been mostly beneficial to me. Especially that one time, when I buffed my team armed with blunt weapons with guaranteed hit and crit on the next attack during the grym fight and killed him in 2 turns. But I also almost lost the run at level 3, when I have used a false life scroll for the lols and sprouted thorns all around my half dead party, panicked and started to run out instead of jumping out-.-
You're more brave than I am! That's hilarious, also.
Extended Spell is consistently underrated among Dorc( obviously Sorc, but ill leave that typing blunder in cause we're all Sorc Dorcs) users. Early game, extended blade ward will last you 4 turns, at which pointost fights should be over. Great especially if you can precast it before engaging, even greater throughout the game if you are multiclassed into a thief spellsword build as a great deal of your damage comes from the left hand anyway.
Late game , extended Globe of Invul ( even from a scroll ) for 6 turns is a literal game winner by itself. Nothing you get at that point from distant or careful will beat that.
Those are great examples. Just be careful not to put your whole party under that Globe in certain fights...
Some of the late-game encounters have a knack for knocking you Prone and instantly dropping your Globe, leaving your nicely grouped party open to some aoe damage. (Look to Wolfheart's Honour Mode video for a good example of this almost ending his run.)
But if you do it strategically and intelligently (impossible for me), you're absolutely right...6 turns of Globe is OP as hell.
I know, but I had Minthara as a pal9/warlock 3 healing build with a 22 charisma (+6 saving throws to everyone close with Aura of Protection) and my Sorc had advantage on all saving throws except Str and Cha when I first tried the method, so unless the prone wad scripted, I wasn't worried.
Man, I was watching Wolf live, yelling to my screen "Don't walk into that fkin cloud!". That was funny, unless you're Wolf...
Finally my favourite class! Great job once again
I am going to attempt honour mode v2 (less pressure now I have done it) using only full casters, so it's nice to get good breakdowns on here of some I haven't used.
Sounds like a fun run to me!
Storm Sorc is so busted after you get that one Legendary Staff in Act 3.
Upcast Create Water then twinned Chain Lighting wipe almost every enemies from whole room.
And I just almost one-shot Last Boss in Honour Mode with 6th upcast Chromatic Orb Crit.
great vid and a fun watch while youre making your tav 👍
I wish i watched your channel when I started playing.
I do too! I've been expecting you.
I know sorc rogue goes hard with two bonus actions with quickened spell
you are totally great
Thanks! I tell myself this same thing in the mirror every day.
@@PanicRolling but its true, very funny and informative at the same. great
Found this video extremely helpful! What robe/ hood was your character wearing?
Good video, but no one should be discouraged from Draconic bloodline just because Storm gets fly at lvl 1 vs 11. Storm is great, don’t get me wrong, but the draconic damage modifier can be HUGE. Charisma is easy to get to 20 and 22, and can even reach 24, so you are adding 5-7 damage to each attack. A spell like Scorching Ray (fire bloodlines, ofc) applies this to every single ray, so it’s 5-7 damage added 3-7 times!
Constant ability to fly at 11 does let you use it in more situations than Storm, and without spending a spell slot that you might want to keep in reserve. You don’t get the opportunity attack resistance, and flight is probably more likely to save your life early game when you have bad hp/defenses, but in my experience you are lvl 11+ for most of act 3 anyway and it’s plenty useful to fly on command!
If you don’t mind re speccing, storm from 1-5 and then draconic at 6 (when draconic damage modifier comes online) is a fun progression if you want to turn your sorcerer from a useful all rounder to a damage power house
Edit: Illithid flight is great, but Act 3 is when you can get your Dragon Sorc’s charisma up past 20, so even a half-illithid Dragon Sorc is still going to feel like a strong sub class
Oh for sure, Draconic Bloodline as a whole is incredible. And getting flight is always great. It just doesn't feel great as the only real lvl 11 bonus they get. Especially if you've gone down the tadpoles route... because you might already have flight from that plot thread.
But I love the subclass, and you're right about that extra damage being huge!
@@PanicRolling That’s fair, I probably underestimate how many people opt for the evolved powers. By the way, just noticed this is your first ever series of videos. I can tell these took a lot of effort, especially editing, it’s really impressive!
Hey dude, love ur vids, I will say tho that I think fly at lvl 11 for draconic bloodline is actually pretty good, the only thing making it not so great is the fly ability from the astral tadpole which some players like myself don’t want to take as it makes your character look ugly, I got the draconic fly on my dark urge and it felt really good
I appreciate it! Gaining the ability to fly is awesome, for sure! But compared to some of the other 10th and 11th level bonuses in this game, it's definitely on the more disappointing side.
Trust me though, I'll never complain about extra mobility. I just wish it weren't so easy to get Flight from other sources. At much earlier levels for some of them.
@@PanicRolling totally fair, I think it’d feel a lot more strong (and would be) if illithd fly wasn’t as easy to get or wasn’t in the game so I get what ur saying, ty for responding 🙂
Yeh 100% if you couldn't get it so easily from the tadpoles, it would be amazing. Or if the tadpole option had harsher consequences...
As it stands, it's basically just free upgrades with no downside besides looking ugly.
I now want the option to have feathers for a beard for my wild magic sorc
Cool anime moment, I use shocking grasp with a storm sorcerer. Boom.
Yeh, boom is right.
@@PanicRolling because I’m kind of dumb and didn’t read my abilities. I had no idea why it was doing so much more damage and causing AOE shit to happen I figured it was something in subclass now I know the answer lol
Yep, Storm Sorcs and Tempest Clerics can do some gross things with even basic Thunder and Lightning spells.
@@PanicRolling I know what I must do now thank you the thunder god comes
Missed opportunity on using "saucy storm sorcery sorcerizer"
🤣
my luck was good before playing and it was good when playing wild magic lol
If they ever patch Withers you're gonna have to go back and update all of these videos...
Ehh, it's a calculated risk.
“The cooler wizard” deep dive
But Wizards have the hats, though...
Sorcerers have THE hat, though. You know, the pirate one, Birthright.
Fair enough. That hat is badass.
Agreed, for robe-wearers. For heavy armor users, that thing makes you look like Captain Sparrow in an Iron Maiden.
I kinda wanna do a wild magic sorc in honor mode, I'm a glutton for punishment. I only ever play honor mode
Well you have the perfect attitude for it. Because it's gunna be punishment lol.
@@PanicRolling By the way good video! Just discorved ya and I like the chill vibes
In my game ice knife CANNOT be twined. Probably patch related , i don't know, but everytime i use the twined spell option the ice knife spell is among those that are greyed out (my spell slots are all full)
Cya mate
They just recently changed this, actually. It also removed Chain Lightning from the list of spells that can be Twinned.
Storm Sorcs took a big hit that day.
@@PanicRolling It makes sense if you ask me. You might want to check it for the fireball spell too, as they may have changed it for every AOE spell. Keep it up bro. Beside the fart stuff i really liked your video. CYA
Quicken is broken. Not sure why youd use wizard or warlock
It's pretty awesome, isn't it?
@@PanicRolling love it. Completely melting everything with 2x fireballs or chain lightnings
Baldurs gate buffed it. Normally you arent supposed to be casting 2 leveled spells in 1 turn. Also twinned spell is getting nerfed in the new rules.
But yeah the way it is in baldurs gate 3 is busted.
The most broken thing is that you only need 3 levels of Sorc. Multiclassed into another full caster like Abjuration wizard, with the spell slot restoration amulets and Arcane recovery, you get more Sorc points than a base 12 level Sorc.
So you say 2 levels of cleric and the rest sor but in what order? first 2 levels cleric? and rest sor?
Tried to pickpocket withers with my thief.. never managed even once sleight of hand failed and I can rob anyone else easy 😟
So 4 level 6 spell slots are not normal
No that's not normal lol. You can get items that will allow you extra spell casts per day, but other than those...I don't know how you'd end up with 4 level 6 spell slots
@PanicRolling making them with scorcer points sacrificing 1-3 level (all 4 of the 1-3 spell slots) to make them if I need a new 6 level spell slot. It kill scorcer points but worth it.
10:30 they missed empowered spell
You're wrong so sure can be a million range they're very defensive
I would like to see larian Studios make an MMORPG I think they can do way better than Final Fantasy XIV
😘
Hey, thank you very much!
@@PanicRolling i have to thank you
Guys, multiclass as a tief, trust me, is gonna be fun
Is your honor mode playthrough on video?
I've got some of it, but I ended up losing a ton of the footage in a freak gasoline fight accident.
