The Life Domain Cleric is still the best Cleric build in BG3 – but that could change with the release of Patch 8. Until then, stick with this Life Domain Cleric guide to learn the best Cleric build tips, what makes the Life Domain such a powerful subclass for the Cleric, and other information that will help you min-max your Cleric character. This Cleric build guide has been updated to add in-game flavor descriptions of the class and subclass, as well as a new small section with the best consumables for the Cleric, including both potions and elixirs, in the Equipment section.<br><br>Baldur's Gate 3 can be a tough game for someone new to the series, or new to CRPG Dungeons and Dragons -like games in general. A well-balanced party composition should have some kind of support class, which the Cleric happens to excel at . The best Cleric builds aren't necessarily those that deal the most damage, but those that make full use of this class' unique quirks.<br><br>At fifth level, Swarmkeeper Rangers gain the Web spell, which is always prepared. At seventh level, the Swarmkeeper gains three charges of Writhing Currents per long rest, which can be spent along with a bonus action to fly 9m/30ft and gain immunity to surface effects. They gain an extra Writhing Currents charge at ninth level, along with the Gaseous Form spell, which is always prepared.<br><br>At eleventh level, you gain Mighty Swarm, which increases the bonus damage from the Swarm's damage effect to 1d8 of the appropriate damage type. It also boosts your AC by 2 for a turn after using the teleport ability, and adds extra effects to the utility ability as shown in the table below:<br><br>For ranged combat, players should pick up the Spellthief bow from Arron at the Druid Grove, allowing them to restore a first level spell slot the first time they land a critical hit each short rest. This can be helpful during the early-game where spell slots are few. The Joltshooter longbow can also be found in Act 1, as a reward for rescuing Councilor Florrick at Waukeen's Rest, and allows the Ranger to build up lightning charges and dish out extra damage with their attacks.<br><br>Finally, at tenth level, Giant Barbarians gain access to Mighty Impel. This allows them to throw any creature that is medium-sized or smaller, regardless of their weight, as a bonus action while enraged. The throw range is fixed at 9m/30ft, which usually results in better range when throwing heavy creatures (unless your character has used an Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength to reach 27 Strength).<br><br>Each of Baldur's Gate 3 's classes offers different abilities and utility to a character in combat, dialog, and exploration. Each class has something different to offer the player and the party, and the Barbarian is no different in that regard.<br><br>The Hunter Subclass gains some powerful once-per-turn effects through Hunter's Prey, which could benefit other martial classes like the Fighter and Paladin. Multiattack Defence could be really helpful on a tanky character when facing powerful foes later in the game. Monks can also benefit greatly from abilities like Giant Killer and Colossus Slayer, as long as there is a weapon in their main hand.<br><br>At Level 5, Oathbreakers gain "Crown of Madness" and "Darkness" as additional prepared spells , allowing them to get enemies to attack their allies and create fields of darkness to conceal their allies. Level 7 Oathbreakers gain an "Aura of Hate," which lets them add their Charisma modifier to damage rolls. It also lets them extend this benefit to undead or fiend allies within 3m.<br><br>The Gloom Stalker's affinity for ambush makes them a natural fit for multiclassing with Rogues, allowing them to add Sneak Attack damage to their excellent damage output. Mixing in Fighter for Action Surge and a second Fighting Style can also be beneficial. While there's a certain amount of overlap in their kits, Shadow Monks can also be a good multiclass choice for the Gloom Stalker.<br><br>Oath of the Ancients Paladins will break their Oath if they fail to defend the sanctity of life or deliberately disrupt the balance of nature. For an early example of this, players can break the Oath of the Ancients by resurrecting Mayrina's husband using Ethel's Wand, since raising the dead counts as disrupting the balance of nature. Many of the actions the Dark Urge will spur players into taking can also result in breaking the Oath of the Ancients.<br>

Great Old One Warlocks (sometimes called "Goolocks" by D&D players) make their pact with eldritch beings in the Far Realms whose goals are inscrutable and alien. At level one, a Goolock gains the power "Mortal Reminder," which causes them to frighten the target and all nearby enemies for a turn when they land a critical hit. This can be great for weakening enemy groups, though since it triggers only on critical hits, it can't be relied upon.

Clerics of the Life Domain are likely what many players first think of when they hear the word "Cleric", wielding powerful restorative and curative abilities to keep their allies alive and in the fight. At level 1 they gain heavy armor brain jars BG3 proficiency to help keep them alive, and also gain "Disciple of Life." This ability causes all healing spells they cast to heal an extra 2+Spell Level HP. For example, this means a level 1 Cure Wounds spell would heal an extra 3HP.

In terms of equipment, players using at least ten levels of Nature Cleric can take advantage of a powerful interaction between Divine Strike: Elemental Fury and any effects that are triggered when making an attack. The damage from Elemental Fury is triggered using the reaction menu and treated as a separate attack, allowing it to trigger effects a second time if it meets the requirements to trigger that effect.

At level six, the Druid gets "Primal Strike," treating their natural attacks as magical for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction while they are transformed. They gain Saber-Toothed Tiger as a Wildshape at level eight, which has the ability to shred through armor. At level ten, the druid gets access to four "Elemental Myrmidon" wildshapes, allowing them to take on elemental forms to modify their damage type and take advantage of environmental conditions. (Lighting Oil on Fire, Electrifying Water, etc.)


The Dragon Age series is one of BioWare's biggest franchises that has gone on to help the studio become a household name. The first game is touted by many as one of the best Western RPGs of all time, while the second game does have its fair share of fans, even if its attempts to cater to a casual player base didn't resonate with the series' fans. Thankfully, BioWare learned their mistake and decided to make Dragon Age: Inquisition bigger and grander than ever bef

At level three, Light Domain Clerics gain "Flaming Sphere" and "Scorching Ray" as Domain spells, allowing them a variety of methods to deal fire damage to single targets or large groups and take advantage of flammable environmental hazards (like Grease.)

At level six, a Goolock gains the ability "Entropic Ward," allowing them to impose a disadvantage on an incoming attack as a reaction. Should that attack miss, they then gain an advantage on their next attack against the failed attacker. This can be used once per short rest.


A great part about a D&D campaign is that the stories can be whatever players want, unlike video games that need to adhere to certain algorithms and get as many players hooked as possible to avoid having poor sales and the like. So, it's refreshing to see video games like Tyranny where the player doesn't need to necessarily take on the role of a good

At level three, Trickery Domain Clerics gain "Mirror Image" and "Pass Without Trace" as Domain Spells, allowing them to increase their AC with illusory clones and give the entire party a +10 bonus to their stealth checks. At this point, the Trickery Domain allows players to make their entire party better at evading notice and can be a fantastic support caster both in and out of combat.

Level five adds "Plant Growth" and "Sleet Storm," allowing them to create patches of weeds to slow down their foes and conjure storms of ice to disrupt spellcasters and create difficult terrain (It's also handy for extinguishing fires if necessary.)
