In Baldur's Gate 3 , there are a few spellcasting-oriented Classes that players can choose from – Classes that actually thrive when normal weapons are taken out of the equation. The Wizard is arguably the most iconic Dungeons and Dragons spellcasting class thanks to the breadth of spells they can know. In Baldur's Gate 3 , the Wizard's diversity makes it hard to pin down its best build.

If you are dead set on including a character in your party, simply talk to Withers to respec them to one of the optimal Druid companion classes listed above. This way, you won't miss out on that character's questline, and you won't have to suffer from an improperly balanced party.

Continue to the Glistening Cove section of the Underdark and search the cliffs for a chest containing the Slippery Chain Shirt . This applies the Disengage effect to anyone the wearer heals, allowing them to move away from enemies without provoking attacks of opportunity and making it easier to get a vulnerable ally away from danger.

With the Druid's intrinsic Wild Shape ability, a Druid 9 Ranger 3 build will be able to summon a Bear companion, then shapeshift into a Bear themselves. It's always good to have more companions on the battlefield, so enemies have more targets to choose from. Having two bears in the party, alongside proper Support companions, makes for a fun and fearsome melee frontline.

As time goes on, the best Wizard build Subclass could change. But until then, the Evocation Wizard's ability to protect teammates from their own arcane destruction is really nice at Level 5, when Wizards pick up Fireball.

For example, the Hat of Fire Acuity would generate two stacks of Arcane Acuity when landing an attack with a weapon that deals fire damage. If the Cleric then uses Divine Strike: Elemental Fury to deal fire damage, this would trigger the Hat of Fire Acuity a second time and generate two more stacks for a total of four.


While the game's combat was action-oriented, it also allowed players to mess around with various stats and complexities to enhance their combat efficiency even more. Dragon Age: Inquisition may not be the best RPG that fans can check out, but it's a pretty good one that's full to the brim with a memorable storyline, fun characters, and some great set pieces where BioWare is flexing its bud


Acquiring this armour gives players a nifty 17 AC. However, its prominence as a Heavy Armour comes with its Intense Adamantine Backlash that resembles potent Illithid Powers , wherein opponents who miss hitting the player will experience Reeling for 3 turns. This property debuffs enemies with -1 to Attack Rolls, making striking its user and nearby allies much har


Although Ring Mail is considered as one of the first types of Heavy Armour a character can encounter in Baldur’s Gate 3 , taking this a step further via Ring Mail Armour +1 can give its wielder a fighting edge in situations where higher-AC gear can seem too expensive to come by. Thankfully, Ring Mail Armour +1 is often sold by vendors as soon as players reach Levels 2 to 4, making this one of the most accessible Heavy Armour for heavy-hitters who need adequate defen

At seventh Level, Death Domain Clerics get Blight and Death Ward as Domain Spells. They then get Divine Strike: Necrotic at eighth level, allowing them to deal 1d8 necrotic damage in addition to their normal damage with a melee attack (once per turn).

This section covers the best equipment for Evocation Wizards in BG3 across all three Acts. Some pieces from early Acts may still be powerful in later ones, though, and will remain equipped through several Acts.


Compared to the more straightforward Chain Mail Armour players can find in their Baldur’s Gate 3 gameplay, the Chain Mail +2 isn’t just a decent upgrade with its AC 18 provision but also a rather visual level-up with its more regal appearance . Compared to the rather mundane link of chains in the original armour type, the Chain Mail +2 enjoys a default steel on blue robes color scheme, with a decorative tabard with accents on top and a single pauldron on the right side, giving a much-needed stylistic "oomph" to the wea

However, depending on how you like to play your Druid, the Outlander background might feel more fitting. This background grants proficiency in Athletics and Survival instead of Animal Handling and Survival, and Athletics can be very useful in combat.
