Baldur s Gate 3: Best Cleric Class Build

This section will discuss some generally good equipment that works for any warlock subclass. An important item to mention is the Potent Robe , obtained in Act 2 by speaking with Alfina, but only if you aided the Tieflings during act 1. This robe adds your Charisma to the damage of all Cantrips and stacks with the effects of the Agonizing Blast invocation, allowing the Warlock to add double their Charisma to their Eldritch Blasts. Players focusing on spells should also grab the Daredevil Gloves at the Githyanki Creche during Act 1, allowing them to use all their ranged spells as melee attacks to avoid the penalty for using ranged attacks in melee. Players wanting to stack up their Charisma even higher should look into Duke Ravengard's Longsword , which also grants +2 Charisma and is an excellent weapon for Warlocks using Pact of the Blade.

The Folk Hero background can be useful for Clerics because it gives proficiencies to the Animal Handling and Survival skills, both of which rely on the Cleric's main stat Wisdom. Animal Handling and Survival are both skills that the Cleric typically doesn't have access to at character creation for its starting proficiencies, too, and can be useful additions to the class.

The build is notably proficient in Heavy Armor, a proficiency granted by the Life Domain subclass itself. It also has several Cantrips that keep allies alive and enemies weak when their relatively limited spell slots are expended – but their Domain Spells are always prepared, leaving room for other spells to diversify options.

Putting all of that together, players will be gaining Lightning Charges constantly from casting spells and standing in electrified water, which won't hurt them because of the Sparkswall Ring. Those lightning charges will boost the character's AC by 1, add lightning damage to all their attacks (including spell attacks), and deal even more lightning damage when they max out by spending the whole stack. The Lifebringer adds temporary HP as long as the character has lightning charges, while the Real Sparky Sparkswall allows them to burn three charges to create a lightning aura that jolts nearby foes. Finally, the Blast Pendant uses up all available lightning charges to empower the next spell or cantrip used, adding extra lightning damage to it.

Armour is a critical element of a player’s arsenal in Baldur’s Gate 3 , primarily since D&D mechanics dictate Armour Class and other defensive characteristics based on the armour that one wears. While Baldur's Gate 3 offers the usual slate of Light, Medium, and Heavy Armour for most characters, specific equipment provides additional benefits that can help carry characters through much of the game’s mid-game to the endg

The improved Mage Hand at Level 1 is a strict upgrade over the default Mage Hand, and it saves a level 1 spell slot. At Level 5, Githyanki gain Misty Step, a normally level 3 spell that can be incredibly valuable for this Spell Slot-starved class.

For example, players could focus on lightning damage, picking up the Spellsparkler staff from Waukeen's Rest (by rescuing Counsellor Florrick), the Jolty Vest from Brem in the Zhentarim Hideout, and the Watersparkers from the chest behind Minthara at the Goblin Camp. Add the Blast Pendant, worn by one of the Petrified Drow near the Selunite Outpost, and the Sparkswall Ring from the Mage Tower Basement in the Underdark. Buy the Lifebringer from Blurg in the Underdark Colony to complete the ensemble. After reaching Grymforge in Act 1, players should replace the Jolty Vest with the Protecty Sparkswall for better spell save DCs and pick up The Real Sparky Sparkswall shield, also found in Grymforge.

After entering Act 2, players should also collect the Snowburst Ring (hidden under a loose plank at the Last Light Inn), the Coldbrim Hat (Hidden in a secret room in Balthazar's Chambers at Moonrise), and the Icebite Robe (from a Sarcophagus out in the Shadow-Cursed Lands.)
