Great build. I like the emphasis on early game and leveling power before it fully comes online. So many builds are powerful at level 10+ but are a real slog to level.
The thing i appreciate about your build videos is that the character levels are more or less appropriate for the part of the game you're showing. So the damage numbers are realistic. I've seen a bunch of videos where it seems like they're used a trainer to hit max level in act 1. Thank you!
The AOE spells are already nuts. Combining Lightning Bolt & water just trivializes most combat encounters lol. The linear scaling on spells like LB & Fireball puts out some huge base numbers on upcasts.
It's fun for a while but I think you'll quickly learn that the opportunity cost of using those equipment pieces is a little too high when moving into the later parts of the game. You need to generate enough lightning charges in one attack for it to not automatically discharge after obtaining 5. Even with vulnerability, the equipment will only give you +10 damage, eating into your action eco with its required set-up. Fun, but not good.
Been playing this build (without Fighter levels) in my multiplayer game. A nice bonus I found is that Chromatic Orb (Lightning), by itself, already creates a puddle of water around the target. It's much smaller than Create Water, but sometimes it gets the job done.
There's a very good reason that Githyanki lend themselves well to gish classes: The term originates in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game, where it originally referred to a Githyanki fighter/wizard combination. Gish is still an official term used in D&D referring to this, but is also used to refer to any character who has a martial/spellcasting combination of abilities.
Luck of the Far Realm can make chromatic orb an instant crit, which is extremely useful for single target damage when upcasted on a wet target! Love the build guide, although I think the early game seems too clunky and the build would be smoother taking your fighter levels at 8 and 9 when you already have your 5 levels in sorcerer (for lightning bolt) and your 2 in tempest cleric. I played as Shadowheart on my first playthrough and used a similar build to this. It's blast!
@@sd_q3st3r He said there are not many ways to buff, Alert is a way to buff, if we go by your definition, everything is a trade, you take a helm that buffs your fire resistance, that means you can't equip the other one that buffs you poison resistance
I took alert on my tempest Sorc. That plus chain lighting from the staff meant turn 1 would be quicken create water followed by twin chain lighting at max dmg. You win before the fight begins. With a bloodlust elixir you can follow up with another lighting bolt for the few times something isn't dead after chain lighting. I put alert on all my casters.
I know you mentioned it, but the spell slot usage really is a big drawback if you're running with a full party. Its great if you're doing a solo run since you need that burst, but in a full party I'd drop the fighter levels and spread the resource usage in each encounter around among my other party members a bit more making the whole setup a little less rest heavy. Not having the fighter levels will also give you a bit faster start getting to the good stuff like lightning bolt.
elemental adept: lightning feat makes your spells ignore target's resistance to lightning, so you can keep on zapping those suckers. Probably a good take on a build centred around one type of damage. Doesn't help against immune targets, but (as you say) those types of targets are usually immune to other things too.
That's OK in the late game when you can upcast your rain spell to cover a huge area and make a lot of mobs wet, but early game, you might need the ability to override vulnerability in a pinch. Especially if you need the spell/action slot to do damage or mitigate, rather than make a mob wet.
Hey just wanted to say I really appreciate you and your channel, I always enjoy your insights and enthusiasm for the kind of games that interest me, and I'm glad to see you're enjoying Baldur's Gate as much as the rest of us! Thanks
Just fill your inventory with water barrels P.S. thanks for your videos, just started on PS5 and appreciate the race and class videos so much! As a pathfinder only person there's a few differences
I wonder if taking storm sorceror would be a good idea if the positioning problems you mention are something that you want to avoid. In any case, great video!
Love the build! I did mine as a sort of hybrid between your Cleric build and this. I did 2 Paladin, 2 Tempest Cleric and 8 Storm Sorcerer. Amulet for the extra Channel Divinity, Arcane Synergy Diadem, Dual Wieldier with a sword and staff. Y'all know the staffs, depending where you are in game with this. Phalar Aluvé with the shrieking song for Bane/++ Thunder. Breezed Tactician. :) Edit: Half-orc. Other gear I went for besides the typical were items that gave Reverb. The main hand Act 3 weapon I went for was the Legendary Trident. Markohenshir for the off-hand (lighning attunement).
played it for my first Tactician run (skipped the Fighter levels) and loved it! Twinspell also gives great CC, i used a lot of Dominate Person, and the Tasha's ability from the medallion quest.
This is a cool build. I was thinking what build to use in my 3rd & evil playthrough as a sorc. This is going to be perfect for oblitetaring every living creature in sight.
So many builds sound fun in this game. I'm really looking forward to picking it up when the Definitive Edition drops. (I still assume that will happen sometime next year.)
For this playstyle class I have settled with adding 1 level of wizard to learn conjure elemental from scroll. Upcasting that to level 6 getting you water myrmidon and its breath action has good AOE range which heals you and gives wet condition. Yes it will also heal enemies but considering they will die soon afterwards, I see no downside except giving that lv 6 spell slot. You can use arcane battery or that necklace to recover the slot
I think the combination of classes is perfect. I'm gonna run the build but will likely start sorcerer 1, cleric 2-3 to get to destructive wrath first, and then back to sorcerer.
Questions: If you are going to need respec anyway, why play this at all in Act 1 where it is awkward? Wouldn't it be better to use something more convenient at lower levels, like Tempest 1/sorcerer 5/ tempest 2 or tempest 4/wizard 1, so you get lightning bolt earlier? And then respec to this nova build at level 9 when it comes online. In tabletop dnd you usually have to plan your build so that it doesn't have dead levels before coming online, but with bg3 super cheap respec, you can just not play those dead levels with the same build.
Depends on how you want to play. I see no problem with your ideas, but you world miss out on action surge. There are several online builds that use your approach.
@@MortismalGaming makes sense. I do agree, the game could use more difficulty options. I also mostly avoid respec, because I feel that it kinda takes away something from immersion, but I wanted to know if your reasons were similar.
I jsut finished a playhtrough with fighter, barb, cleric and warlock. It was a really fun game but I just felt super squishy and weak throughout and it kind of took away from the experience.. I want to do another playthrough but I'm not sure if I should follow a build guide or try my own again. Thank for your time, gr8 vid!
I love the idea of getting action surge into this build. Never thought of that.. If spell slot is a problem, then might I suggest go storm sorcery instead and get call lightning. Reason being it's a freecast spell using concentration, so that we only need to pay for the initial spell cost, and can recast it for free after.. Spammable lvl 5 damage for the rest of the fight is pretty good considering how many actions we got.
you want to use your sorcerer turn 1 with twinspell haste on yourself and another partymember, then take another action instantly for free and a bonus action, haste concentration is much more important than call lightning
@@morpheus00 that's valid.. It's just that sorcerers have longresting problem and call lightning helps alleviate that. Also, if you want haste badly, just throw haste potion at the start of combat on the ground for AoE haste (throw using melee character). Then your sorc gets 3 call lightning action perturn, all at level 6. Use quickspell gloves for free call lightning quickening once a fight (call lightning recast counts as a cantrip, thus benefit from quickspell gloves). Twinhaste is still great for longer fights, just not necessary for regular battle that ends in 1-2 turns.
In the prequel trilogies it was loosely implied that when something was "good" it was "wizard." So if a sorcerer is a good class to play, does that mean it's wizard? Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
One day I will actually play a full caster, usually I end up going gish with it. My warlock turned into a pact of the blade smite lord. Currently doing a hand crossbow gloomstalker build. Maybe the third play through I’ll actually play a caster as a caster.
I would like to see a video comparing origin characters playthroughs, need to decide which character I want to start on my second playthrough, first one was custom.
Interesting take not going with Storm Sorcery. It makes sense in your build as well since you are not concerned with flying away after casting since your AC is so high. I'm only at level 6 in my second playthrough but I am willing to respec to give this a try as you can never have enough AoE spells.
So far great old one warlock githyanki has been awsome but in d and d draconic bloodline sorcerers have been my favorite lorewise so here i go again on my 5th playthrough. Damn bg3 is awsome.
Has anyone tried a mad potion maker build? The more I engage with the crafting in BG3 the more I’m wondering if there’s a way to do a support character who just throws potions around. (Maybe fighter/rogue?) I don’t know that the number of potions and types of potions support that but it sounds like some silly fun.
So are the lightning charge gear and its synergies aren't good enough for the build? Lightning charges and reverb seem kinda good with this and it's a1 and 2 gear mainly.
Lightning charges only add a bit of damage. Yeah, you can double it with the wet condition but it's negligible for the opportunity cost of much stronger equipment. I agree with reverb though, fun if you're going to be doing a lot of melee.
Sorcerer is pretty much just better in this game. Wizard is fun if you like a specific subclass, summoning, and/or flavor. Otherwise a 1 lvl dip with any other caster lets you scribe wizard spell scrolls if you use the int boosting circlet
I played wizard and i had a blast! The cool thing about wizard is the stupid amount of spells you can unlock. If you want to feel like Dr Strange or someone with a vast knowledge in arcana, wizard is for you. It has a spell for any situation. Its true that in terms of "raw" power it is a bit worse than sorcerer (and sorcerer main stat being CHA is a plus too) but as a wizard you will have tons of versatility, plus the divination or abjuration sub classes are super strong. Anyway, both are great options, if you like magic you are gonna have a blast with both of them!.
@@sergiof2642 I'm currently doing a sorcerer 1/cleric 1/wizard X for a tanky armor of agathys build, and it's pretty fun. I'm the one wizard asking to get hit. Lol
Sorcerer is generally better (metamagic). Where Wizard shines are multiclassing with 6/10 levels of Swords Bard (full caster skill-monkey with extra attack) or 3/5/7/9/11 levels of Cleric (some Cleric wpells with full Wizard spellcasting). In both examples you keep ability to cast level 6 Wizard spells via scroll scribing.
@@sergiof2642 yeah I'm more about the role play side of the game. Sorcerer is stronger but I like the idea of a wizard more for the number of spells I get. I do like the idea of elemental stuff though. More than likely will be a necromancer wizard in my next run. Almost done with the bard
I wish that these build vids would focus on party role as well as the combat role. My caster needs high Wisdom and 2 lvls of wiz to create potions effectively. Is there a build that incorporates water and lightning?
Im only recently entering the monastery. Is it still Act 1? Ive played so much of Act 1 that i think i could play around early game builds now. Sorlock at level 4 is just unmatched because of twinned eldritch blasts. For cleric, its bless and sanctuary ( immunity ) and call it a day. But for more fun stuff, I'll take 1 cleric + 1 storm sorc + 3 druid for moonbeams and unlimited flight.
Mortismal, or anyone else, any advice on a tank build? I am going to attempt a major difficulty spike on my next playthrough (three member, all Githyanki party). I have good builds for a Sorcerer (although now Mort has me reconsidering) and a Ranger, but am still trying to decide on the Tank.
Fighter or Life Cleric. Fighter allows more feats which can flesh out things, small magic boost with initiate feats, the health boosting feats and the Heavy Armour Mastery... Or look at the Light Cleric (Nuke Cleric( from cRPG Bro... you get tanky and spread Radiant orbs which plummet enemy attacks, plus the Channel Divinity for Light cleric deals radiant damage to a LARGE area.
Looks like a fun build. Is there an achievement for completing the game with each of the Origin characters, or did you just need to see their personal quests for 100%?
No achievement for completing all origin characters, and he actually got all achievements around a month ago, I believe, with his livestreamed Jack of All Trades run. He's seeing all of the origin playthroughs for his personal 100% requirements.
@@ChristmasLore Blood in Baldur's Gate. It's a small minigame released in the summer that features Dark Urge, in which he's shown to be a White Dragonborn Sorcerer (with the same look as when you choose him in character creation). Additionally, when playing as any other origin or as Tav, you find Dark Urge's corpse in Orin's chambers, again a White Dragonborn. His chosen subclass by default is Storm Sorcery, which all but confirms that this is what he is in canon.
@@ChristmasLore the investigation isn't in the game because it takes place 15 years prior lol Whether or not this version of Durge is canon isn't up for debate, this is confirmed by Larian themselves.

Get the "amulet of the devout" from the Stormshore Tabernacle basement in Act 3. Its a fantastic item for this build.
I am (eventually) going to be doing a sparkswell build, using all those items that give you lightning charges, just to see how it works.
@@ArcaneSorceror I plan on doing that aswell. No idea if its good, but it should be fun anyway. 😁

Why have I never seen a video on sorcerer where they suggest taking careful spell? I would think that may be good for the party members
I would love a Beneath the stolen lands type DLC for this game, I love BG3 but sometimes I just want to fight stuff in a dungeon.

Black hole for sorcererer is a must need and so satisfactory using a second magic nuking your enemies. Great build, thank for the video.
13:06 you can pick alert, which is one of the most underrated feats in BG3
Especially since initiative in BG3 is a d4 roll instead of d20. That +5 is equivalent to +25 in the tabletop version of D&D 5e.
It's a not a buff. It's a trade off. It's a feat that you're taking in place of something else. You're misinterpreting him.
