Baldur's Gate 3 Build Guide | Storm Sorcerer | Best AOE Caster

[@Stealth_07]

Since I don't usually put gameplay explanations in my builds because I don't usually find them necessary, I'll leave a comment about something important for maximizing your damage output with this build. Make sure you either have an ally or quickened cast create water to make enemies vulnerable to lightning damage before your casts to be able to deal massive amounts of damage. Edit: A comment taught me some new information that Clerics unlike most other classes actually do give their Heavy Armor Proficiency when multiclassed into, and as such I actually think the best way to do this setup is 1 Sorcerer -> 2 Cleric -> 5 Sorcerer -> Respec at level 9 -> 2 Cleric -> 1 Wizard -> 6 Sorcerer -> 1 Wizard -> 2 Sorcerer. This gets us Constitution saving throw proficiency in the early game and charisma item spell save DC in the late game where those 2 passive features will be at their most useful. Also for items I forgot since a comment reminded me: Act 1: - Staff of Arcane Blessing - Found in the hidden basement of the Mage Tower in the underdark. (Equip the guiding light ring to find it)

[@Tryplex66]

Create Water removes lightning resistance/invulnerability on enemys btw

[@Stealth_07]

@@Tryplex66 It negates resistance, but not invulnerability (Though there are literally only like 3 lightning invulnerable enemies in the game)

[@kiramcdonalds7321]

Something i dont see ANYONE talking about its that create water can be used as a cantrip if you upcast it to second level. The description says it should increase the AOE but what it does is reduce the AOE but dont consume a spell slot when cast, that means storm sorcerers can wet without spending much resources and can use tempestuous magic to fly on demand since create water is a leveled spell.

Really great video! Thank you for explaining how learning scrolls works in accordance to what casting modifier it uses! Although, im still confused about the 12 points in intellect. Since learned spells from scrolls with be using charisma (right?), what are the 12 points there for? Are they just there for other spells you gain through leveling up wizard? Im just trying to figure out how important intellect is when multi-classing with wizard. Any help understanding this would be great!

[@Rob-jj2xm]

I think you're sleeping on the cold gear for a storm sorc. I mean the ideal scenario is to make everything wet in the area so you can zap people. But ya cold also deals double damage to wet enemies. Act 1 does not have to be at all a magic missle/reverb, but can totally lean hard into the Mourning Frost gear set up and still work just as well.

[@saltochecker]

bro keep them up i need fun ideas (please add a little bit more combat ty)

[@Stealth_07]

Usually I don't add much gameplay since I like to keep my videos relatively succinct and most of my builds have pretty straightforward gameplay approaches, but for this one I definitely should've done a gameplay explanation since the video was short enough that I had time to and because this class's combat loop is a little more complex than most of my other builds'.

[@pyrozzz6346]

how do you get lightning around your staff and shield? Great builds by the way. love the dedication!

[@Stealth_07]

When you use the Unique ability of the legendary staff you get that effect around your weapons.

[@kylehalpern6695]

Wouldnt this build mean you are not getting chain lightning to cast off charisma? Only 6 levels in sorcerer or are you just pumping int with your asi?

[@kynesovos8580]

Does this build use any permanent buffs you can find throughout the acts?

[@Stealth_07]

I don't account for them in my videos since I don't cover how to get them in video and I make the assumption that players who want to minmax their stats will know about the upgrades and make adjustments on their own. This build can use the Hags Hair Charisma +1, and both the Patriars Memory and +2 Upgrades from the Mirror of loss to get a +4 to Charisma, then with 1 ASI we can up the charisma to 22.

[@kynesovos8580]

Level 1-6 is just a borefest till u are well into Act2. Seen this build so many times with minor variations. Just play whatever u want till lvl 8 and than respec to this split. Untill u get call lightning its just a generic caster anyway.

[@Stealth_07]

I mean to each their own but this is just the nature of how all primary wizard and sorcerer builds play. Also, say what you want but people have fun playing builds that just deal a lot of damage and this build can do that (even at levels 1-6 as long as you know what youre doing). I mean look at how popular throwing builds are despite the fact that they literally just throw their weapon 2-6 times a turn and that's all they do every turn for the whole game.

Can you learn and use level 6 spells even if you only have 2 levels of wizard and 8 levels of sorcerer? How would that work?

Nope! As long as we take 1 wizard level before any sorcerer levels, we can take the second wizard level at 10 and sorcerer is still our most recent NEW class level. (Its also why I take the cleric level first and dont say to respec at level 8 when we take the second cleric level)

[@HarryFernandes15]

Seen quite a few takes on this storm sorc cleric. Im interested to try urs . Putting off the 2n lvl cleric till 7 is not uncommon i think . I wonder ur reasoning.

[@Stealth_07]

I favor getting Lightning Bolt and Call Lightning Sooner for certain encounters over getting the damage max from cleric, because the damage maximization from Cleric is only really useful for chromatic orb before you acquire Lightning Bolt. I think the damage amp is very good on Chromatic Orb when used in tandem with the guaranteed crit from something like Luck of the Far Realms, but I don't ever use Illithid Powers in my playthroughs so from my perspective I place less value on this combo. The other reason I want to get Call Lightning sooner is there are particular fights (Gith Creche) where I really want to be able to conserve spell slots while keeping my distance while I clear out the creche, and having the ability to kite the gith with essentially only 1 spell slot per combat while I Call Lightning -> Fly every turn is very useful for me and my gameplay approach. I think the 2 cleric early vs saving it till later is a pretty subjective choice and is more up to player preference.

[@michaelzaccardo1010]

I don't understand what you mean by respec in this one.

[@imminentpowers3097]

Would it not make sense to go for draconic blood sorcerer subclass for extra damage for any type of elements such as lighting? To boost damage

[@Stealth_07]

The Heart of the Storm passive from Storm Sorcerer does basically the same amount of bonus damage as the Draconic bonus damage + plus it does the bonus damage in an AOE so it can hit multiple enemies even on a single target spell.

It's your last NEW class. You probably forgot to respec so that you took wizard before you started taking sorcerer.

[@Christopher-eq1rn]

How viable would it be to swap charisma and int primarily using your spellbook spells pulled from scrolls for damage, then going sorc>cleric>wizard for int to be your item base?

[@Stealth_07]

This trade off really just depends on how much you care about getting value from Call Lightning since its the primary reason I like to keep charisma for damaging spells. If you dont value call lightning, and want to be more intelligence based go 4 sorc and 6 wizard since theres really no reason to go sorc past 4.

[@Christopher-eq1rn]

@@Stealth_07 thank you, think I'll do just that

[@oskarkarlsson8905]

Any tips on picking spells?

[@Stealth_07]

Create water and sanctuary are what you want from cleric. Chromatic orb and magic missile are your go to early game damage spells, and then beyond that for damaging spells just prioritize the spells that deal lightning and thunder damage, so shatter, lightning bolt, etc. For utility, shield and mirror image are great as they make you much harder to hit, and obviously take counterspell when you can. For CC, slow is probably the best option as it affects a large number of targets and is absolutely debilitating for enemies.

[@skrttBD4]

I’m just starting this game so I’m a little confused what start class is this sorcerer or cleric

[@Stealth_07]

In video, I say to start as Cleric, but after some thought and some new information I've learned, I actually think the best way to do this setup is 1 Sorcerer -> 2 Cleric -> 5 Sorcerer -> Respec at level 9 -> 2 Cleric -> 1 Wizard -> 6 Sorcerer -> 1 Wizard -> 2 Sorcerer. This gets us Constitution saving throw proficiency in the early game and charisma item spell save DC in the late game where those 2 passive features will be at their most useful.

[@M12GProductions]

So when I hit 9 I should respec and go Cleric for 2, wizard for 2, and then the rest in Sorcerer?

[@pobopower]

I feel stupid. Dont know what Im doing wrong.. but I have never played anything like BG3 before so. I respeced Gale to this build but he feels super weak. You seem to be able to attack several times over? My Gale can at best attack once, the sits on his ass and gets destroyed 🤷‍♂️ If I use haste beforehand and attack he gets immediately lethargic? Why is my sorc so bad?

[@Stealth_07]

Ok so obviously, I cant give the greatest gameplay advice since I cant see your game to know what your doing wrong, but as for how I do so much each turn, for one, haste is a Concentration based spell, so if you use another concentration bassd spell, like Call Lightning, you lose concentration on haste and become lethargic. Additionally, youll want to be using quickened spell occasionally to use your spells as bonus actions. Also be sure to be using create water to apply th wet statis effect to enemies before casting lightning spells as the wet status effect makes enemies vulnerable to lightning damage.

[@pobopower]

[@killjoy295]

Also worth noting Water elemental creates a puddle on normal attacks and aoe attack when ice melts, I have it from Wyll from warlock passive, I assume the sorc can get it if they sculpt a scroll if specing into wizard. Tanky summon too with over 100hp, so if you have two casters with it, free water/wet status, damage, cc and somewhat tank. Upcasted to Water Myrmidon is even better, it's heal makes massive aoe water surfaces for 3 turns, and you can spam it so water will always be available. Good damage and cc still, plus Fly and misty step. Misty step to a whatever you want to make wet, use heal and voilà. Edit: Believe you can get an elemental scroll from Sorcerous Sundries in Act 3 on a merchant, can refresh a merchants inventory on a rest if it's not there. That's if you didn't find one in act 1 or 2.

[@BlackXSunlight]

For Act 1 (levels 1-5) what spells do you recommend to tide over? Also what ability bonuses did you use? At 2:43 this looks like the spread before applying the bonuses.

It's a LOT better to start Sorcerer. 17 Int/16 Cha/14 Con is the best stat spread if you're hogging all the good items (ie.. gloves of dex). You're also missing the best meta magic: extend. Extend Command is the best control spell in the entire game.

Thank you for pointing out the game uses your most recently taken class for working out spell casting with items, I couldn't work out why the Elemental Necklace was only adding a +1 to my cantrips damage instead of the +5 for my Charisma (it was using my Wisdom from the Cleric Levels). Might I suggest Heightened Casting as a Metamagic option, probably not as good as Quickened Spell but forcing everything to roll against Chained Lightning with Disadvantage can be a big help in maximising damage.

[@Stealth_07]

Heightened magic is good too, because of the way I approach the game (Solo/No consumables/No illithid powers) having access to quickened spell for quick cast create water is a must have for my own gameplay (hence why I favor it)

so in the end what class should one start with when respeccing? wanna give this a shot now that im at later level. also, how does this build learn chain lightning, using scrolls? sry if thats a noob question lol

[@Stealth_07]

The respec level path is 2 Cleric -> 1 Wizard -> 6 Sorcerer -> 1 Wizard -> 2 Sorcerer. For learning chain lightning, once you are level 11 and have level 6 spell slots, a character with at least 1 level in wizard can right click (or its console equivalent) a chain lightning scroll and you should see an option to learn the spell for a sum of gold. This will permanently learn chain lightning on that character allowing them to put chain lightning in their wizard spell slots.

I would say, of my builds, either my assassin, paladin, or monk would probably be the easiest for someone new since they all have pretty straightforward gameplay approaches (Assassin shoots enemies, paladin smites enemies, monk punches enemies) (also obviously theres a little more nuance to those builds than that but at their core thats what they do) Whereas my other builds like this one or my arcane trickster tend to require a better understanding of certain game mechanics to pull off at their most effective.

Great build! Id strongly recommend switching the order of the first two levels though!

Also in practice, ive notice the order of levels doesnt seem to impact the stats used for items

[@Stealth_07]

Heavy Armor proficiency doesn't get given when you multiclass, you have to start as a class with Heavy Armor Prof to get that one. Also, if you want to see the item casts being effected by levels take 1 pt sorcerer then cast a scroll on someone and check the Spell Save DC in the combat log it will use your charisma, then multiclass cleric and cast another scroll and check the Spell Save DC, it will use your wisdom. Then, class sorcerer again, now test a scroll and youll notice the spell save DC is using your wisdom DC still.

[@RobThePrincess]

@@Stealth_07 the multiclass rule with armor is generally the case. Cleric is the exception because the gain Heavy Armor and Martial Weapon proficiency as a Subclass feature, rather than the normal starting proficiencies. So you still pick em up after level 1.

I think the sorc start could be viable early then, I'd still swap out of it to sorcerer last for the item spell save DC later down the line though since certain important spells like Chain Lightning are only either cast-able through the wizard spell slots or items and I find its very important to utilize our highest spell casting stat for those spells.

[@Duncan55Watson]

@@Stealth_07 The issue with Sorcerer start is then your casting stat for scrolls and magic items will either be Wisdom or Int depending on whether cleric or Wizard was taken last. Now my particular version of this build actually has 20 int and 20 cha (mirror +1 cha, +2 int, ethel +1 cha, ASIs +2 cha, +2 int, base 16 in cha and int from character select, also respec). This allows me to do equally well with int and cha so either can be last. I start with Sorcerer in this case and take Wizard as my third multi class.

@@Duncan55Watson hey i think i will try your approach! but sadly i dont know all of these abbreviations, can you tell me where to get those extra stats ?

[@ungusbungus7914]

Well here I go just got the act 3 now I'm starting a new character 😭

[@vecna2502]

So at lvl 9 we should respect into lvl 1 cleric and lvl 2 wizard then full sorcerer? I dont understand the progression tho. Sry.

[@Stealth_07]

At level 9 respec, you want to go 2 cleric -> 1 wizard -> 6 sorcerer. This way even though you take another wizard level at level 10, sorcerer is still your most recent new class so your charisma modifer is applied to items.

That opening made me feel like fallout would make a great crpg too...lol

😅😅😅😅 you use vats

[@diningroomtable3237]

I'd recommend Alert at first feat as it can be very useful to take out one or more enemies with this build before they even get a turn.
