The Fighter, as their name suggests, fights. More specifically, the Fighter class is an expert in using weapons and armor of all kinds and can thus adapt easily to different combat situations.

This powerful glaive allows the wielder to perform a Whirlwind Attack, making an attack against all enemies within range. The Drakethroat Glaive also remains viable, as does the Moonlight Glaive and the Halberd of Vigilance. You could also consider Nyrulna, a legendary Trident that returns when thrown and causes thunder damage explosions when thrown too.

When players defeat Enver Gortash in Wyrm’s Rock Fortress, they’re able to loot Fabricated Arbalest from his corpse. At first glance, this Very Rare Heavy Crossbow has the typical arsenal of Special Actions from its weapon type, particularly Piercing Shot and Brace. However, its Rarity is earned through its Dazzling Ray and Illuminating Shot Acti

At level two, a Life Domain Cleric gains the ability "Preserve Life", which allows them to restore HP equal to their Cleric Level x 3 to an ally within 9m. This can be a powerful method of rapidly healing an ally during combat without using a spell.

Druids gain several Wild Shape options as they level up, and Circle of the Moon builds get even more . For the first five levels as a Druid, the best Wild Shape transformation is the Bear, then the Raven. But at Level 6, Druids learn how to transform into an Owlbear, which is the most powerful Wild Shape form for the rest of the game.

Of course, Clerics have excellent spells and combat utility as a main class and the Knowledge Domain adds some excellent extra utility. Players using Knowledge Cleric as their main class should consider building a battlemage and grabbing both the Gloves of Battlemage's Power (Locked away in the Reithwin Tollhouse in Act 2) and the Helmet of Arcane Acuity (Hidden in the Reithwin Mason's Guild Basement in a secret area, in Act 2). These allow the wearer to gain Arcane Acuity by making weapon attacks, granting a buff to their spell attack rolls and spell save DCs equal to the remaining duration of Arcane Acuity.


Storm Sorcerers wield the power of storms to devastate their foes and manipulate the battlefield. At level one, they get the ability "Tempestuous Magic," allowing them to fly as a bonus action after casting any level one or higher spell. The Storm Sorcerer cannot receive opportunity attacks when doing this, making it an excellent tool for reposition

Either buy the Winter's Clutches Gloves from Lady Esther on the Monastary Trail or obtain them from the quest "Avenging Glut's Circle", and then pick up the Snowburst Ring from under a loose floorboard in the last-Light Inn during act 2. These will inflict "Encrusted with Frost" when the wearer deals cold damage and create a patch of ice whenever the wearer deals cold damage with a spell, respectively. Head for Balthazar's Chambers in Moonrise and pick up the Coldbrim Hat too, causing all spell conditions inflicted to also apply two turns of Encrusted with Frost (but only to one target and only once per turn). This will allow the Cleric even more utility in Crowd Control by freezing enemies solid.
