BROKEN Storm Tempest Cleric BUILD GUIDE | Baldur's Gate 3

Today we create the ULTIMATE Storm Tempest Cleric Build in Baldur's Gate 3 utilizing the strongest Lightning spells and combos, especially with Reverberation and Lightning Charges, to completely decimate everything. We prioritize our Cleric side, using Sorcerer to bolster it and to attain Lightning Bolt.
Remember to always keep enemies moisturized ⚔

GAME SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Baldur's Gate III is a role-playing video game developed and published by Larian Studios. It is the third main game in the Baldur's Gate series, which is based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system. It offers both a single-player and cooperative multiplayer element. Players can create one or more characters and form a party along with computer-generated characters to explore the game's story. Optionally, players will be able to take one of their characters and team up online with other players to form a party. Unlike previous games in the Baldur's Gate series, Baldur's Gate III has turn-based combat, similar to Larian's earlier games Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin II; but this time, it is based on the D&D 5th Edition rules.
In the year 1492 DR, over 120 years after the events of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and months after the events of Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, the forces of darkness are rising again. The player character (named by the player) has been taken captive by the mind flayers, who have launched an invasion of Faerûn. They have implanted the protagonist, as well as a host of other creatures, with illithid tadpoles, parasites capable of enthralling and transforming them into other mind flayers; however, before the mind flayers can transform their victims, the nautiloid flying ship upon which they are all aboard comes under attack from githyanki warriors and their red dragons, and flees through multiple realms, including Avernus, the first of the Nine Hells. The protagonist is freed during the fighting and steers the damaged ship back to Faerûn, where it crashes. As the protagonist searches for a way to remove their parasites, they encounter other survivors of the wreck: the human wizard Gale, the half-elf cleric Shadowheart, the high elf vampire rogue Astarion, the human warlock Wyll, and the githyanki fighter Lae'zel.

[@JohnClark-jn7wi]

Cool that you can multi class ,but taking storm cleric all the way to level 12 is probably better because you lose wayyyy too much HP and your character starts to become brittle to become a sorcerer.

[@christopherbradley7149]

I’ve had way more fun (and maybe more powerful?) with a 1 wiz, 1 storm sorc, rest tempest build. I’m in early act 2 but have access to lightning bolt, call lightning, several heals, the haste spell, conjure minor elemental (2 ice mephets because their ice does double damage to my wet foes) and shovel. So much choice and variety while being really powerful.

[@komplex6081]

Im confused. Im seeing mixed information as to what class to go first. People day sorcercer level 1, and then others say cleric first because you want your spells to scale off charisma modifier when you take sorc skills later.

[@snakeman830]

Assuming you're doing 6 levels in each, here are the differences (both are proficient with Charisma saves, so no differences there): Sorcerer first: Proficiency in Constitution saves. After you take your first Cleric level, magic items and scrolls will scale off of Wisdom. Cleric first: Proficiency in Wisdom saves. After you take your first Sorcerer level, magic items and scrolls will scale off Charisma. Generally, people like going Sorcerer first because it makes it easier to maintain Concentration. Spells scale off of whichever class you got them from.

[@PurgeEvilTV]

@@snakeman830 Thanks for this comment! Pretty much what snakeman said. The coding is weird in that way. I also believe the Cleric spells, especially while leveling, to be way more useful and aside from other reasons (there's quite a few tbh), that's why I focused on Wisdom

[@komplex6081]

@@snakeman830 thank you!

[@stinkymuffin]

I went cleric first and low wisdom high charisma because I wanted to go with higher damage and better conversation skills. You lose proficiency in con saves which is a bummer but your sorcerer spells like lightning bolt, chromatic orb, and ray of frost will actually hit things. Sorcerer first and high wisdom is better for a defensive playstyle.

[@johnreynolds2512]

No Markoheshkir? Good build, but not including this staff surprised me.

Yeah I’ve got it on the written version, don’t remember why I didn’t include it in the video, maybe was just overkill

No I just talk slow as shit

[@tomsym7756]

am I missing something or doesnt Storm Sorcerer get Call Lightning for free at level 6? maybe you really want that second Channel Divinity so sure why not but why put a whole 6 levels in Cleric to make Wisdom your main spellcasting ability when you could just do Charisma and have lightning bolt he strong too

[@PurgeEvilTV]

Various reasons especially the channel divinity charge, but you wouldn’t be wrong for trying to focus on the sorcerer side. I however feel it’s better to focus on cleric considering clerics spells, the period in the game you’d be at when leveling, even into the late game I feel it’s more beneficial, too many reasons to try to lay out here. Also the coding of multiclassing taking the second classes main stat as priority is a big reason, and there’s no getting around that since we’d always want to start as sorcerer

Yes it is crazy. Yes it is OP ...and yes it is annoying and means you have to make all your enemies wet before you do anything so is action inneficient. I just do not like this playstyle

[@PurgeEvilTV]

What build do you want to see next

[@Idle_Timer]

Is it really action inefficient if the first action is doubling the dmg of the second? sorc can also quicken cast creat water, or have an ally throw a water bottle leaving them with their second attack.

[@zonaldking135]

I'm going to be 100% honest I did this build and never made anybody wet and it's still pretty decent so you don't have to spend the time making them wet for the extra damage and you're still pretty strong you just don't get that op classification

[@xisigma]

Use quickened spell to wet enemies.

[@cristianm1753]

Honestly i feel like cleric is stronger than paladin even for mele with thier wanna be smites lol

Haha I’ve been saying for the longest time cleric is the best class in the game
