All Baldur s Gate 3 Wizard Subclasses Ranked

Constitution 16 (+3): As the game’s primary determinant of Hit Points, Constitution should become paramount for the support-based Bard. CON should be equal to or as close to CHA as possible regarding stat distribution.

The Linebreaker Boots or Boots of Speed work well early on, and you can replace them with the Bonespike Boots, Helldusk Boots, or Disintegrating Night Walkers later on. The Gloves of Hail of Thorns can give you an extra multi-targetting attack early on, though as you continue you'll wanna replace them with the Flawed Helldusk Gloves, and then either the Bonespike Gloves or the Helldusk Gloves after reaching Act Baldur's Gate 3 Endings.

Since the Enchantment School's best ability, Split Enchantment, is acquired at level 10, there isn't a lot of room for Multiclassing. That said, a dip into Fighter for Action Surge and armor proficiency or Dragon Sorcerer for better AC is always helpful. When it comes to equipping an Enchanter, there isn't much gear that is specifically useful to just this subclass, so consult the general equipment section at the bottom of this guide for advice.

Bladesong Healing Charges are generated when making weapon attacks, while Bladesong Damage Charges are generated whenever the Wizard casts a spell. By using Bladesong: Climax, the Wizard can spend a bonus action and some movement to leap to a location and cause a burst of damage and healing in a 3m/10ft radius. The damage and healing are determined by the number of charges accumulated, with the damage dealt to all enemies in the radius and the healing applied to all allies in the radius.

These Maneuvers allow the Fighter to control the battlefield and aid their allies while pressing the attack. On reaching level seven, the Battle Master gains one more Superiority Dice, allowing them to use more Maneuvers per short rest, and also gains two more maneuvers from the above list.

At level 3, Duergar get the ability to Enlarge themselves, altering their Strength stat and direct weapon damage. At Level 5, Duergar gain the ability to cast Invisibility as a racial ability. However, unlike many limited-use abilities, Duergar can cast Invisibility on themselves at will when out of combat, though it can only be used once per long rest in combat.

The Arcane Archer subclass uses Arcane Arrows to deal damage at a distance while debuffing their targets in various ways. When taking this subclass at level three, the fighter immediately gains proficiency in Arcana and Nature, and one of the following three cantrips: Guidance, Light, or True Strike. They also get four Arcane Arrows per short rest, which can be used to perform Arcane Shots. Speaking of Arcane Shots, they choose three types of Arcane Shot to learn from the list below.

Though Sorcerers might think they should stay away from combat, a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer performs just as well up close as they do at a range. Their higher AC and HP compared to other casters is really noticeable, and the class' use of Metamagic skills to amplify the effects of their spellcasting just makes close-range and AoE spells hit more often, or hit harder.


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

The Life Domain Cleric isn't the most powerful Cleric build when it comes to raw damage output. But when one considers the breadth of buffs and support skills available to this subclass , it's easy to see its benefits and its ability to get a party to get through otherwise overwhelming foes, where extra damage wouldn't help.

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.

Unlike Dragonborn, Sorcerers under the Draconic Bloodline don't get a Breath-type spell based on the color chosen. Instead, Draconic Sorcerers get a spell related to their color – in the case of this best Sorcerer build, players can expect to cast a cone of fire or a puddle of Grease. Those are far from the only great spells Sorcerers have in BG3 , though.

Adamantine Scale Mail (16 AC + DEX, Medium Armour, Very Rare): Securing this gear at the Grymforge may give players Disadvantage on Stealth, but it's a worthwhile trade-off against never taking Crits, persisting -1 Damage Taken, and giving Reeling against melee attackers. Getting 18 AC out of a Medium Armour as a Bard in the Underdark before going to the Mountain Pass can give them quite the edge against tougher foes.
