Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition - Character Builds: Wand Witch and Control Fighter

[@andruis_maximus]

Thanks for these videos. I was really overwhelmed by everything in this game as I'm a complete beginner to these types of RPGs. I've been reading and watching videos to obtain as much information as possible before I start playing. I've been trying to create the right characters for a while now. I almost regretted buying this game until I found your videos. they really helped me out.

[@DogoodPOG]

I'm going to make these 2 in the morning looks like fun thank you for your videos learning a lot from them

[@TheAthanik]

Good video. And thanks for actually showing some of the gameplay with this build

[@KelbyRaymer-d6b]

thanks bruv for the vid! it was a big help getting started

[@Михаил-я2ъ2ч]

Good afternoon. Thank you for the video. Having difficulties leveling up your characters, what do you think is the best way to further develop your characters? What skills should they upgrade, what abilities should they take, Novice, Adept Master? please tell me? Thank you in advance

[@grabgra]

I was wondering as you progress in levels what other talents would you pick up for your witch?

[@billwumsen4108]

I remember loving that build after seeing your video here

[@Valsi876]

Good job. Nice relaxed tutorial. Easy to understand.

[@itbutcher1838]

What abilities would you pick for each as they level up?

[@Sonoframbo487]

I know I am late to the party. But would it be worth creating 2 wand witches at the start and then adding Madora as tank and jahan as healer/cc. I followed this video and found my controlled fighter is nothing compared to the wand witch. Is 2x wand witch at creation going to be a good thing??

[@Console-gamer]

Hey Dogmath, thanks so much for the great build! I've just started a new game and trying it out as I type this. It's been really fun so far. I have a question: how will I distribute the future points I earn for both Control Fighter and Wand Witch? I'd really appreciate a breakdown of where the points should go for each. Thanks in advance!

[@Dogmatih]

For the Wand Witch: Speed is your primary stat (So you can wand as much as possible), then Perception (For Starting Action Points, Crit, and Initiative). For talents, Bully is by far the most important, most things past that are quality of life, (whatever you think would be helpful) I would recommend Glass Cannon if you are not having problems with getting hit, or Stench if you want to keep mobs off you more. For the Control Fighter: Strength followed by Con and Speed kept fairly equally. For talents, again, most others are quality of life, first priority would be getting 'Stand Your Ground', after that look for keeping yourself up and healthy as a control fighter; I would recommend looking at: Courageous, Iron Hide, Picture of Health, Sidewinder, and Thick Skin I hope this helps!

[@Console-gamer]

It really does. Thanks again, Dogmath! Hey, I hope you keep doing what you're doing! You're now my favorite Divinity Original Sin channel. ;)

[@jago18777]

Could you use fire for wildfire haste instead of scoundrel? As it stacks better with intelligence too.

[@3AHTOPA]

16:00 where is 2 archer???

[@ginofication]

Great Videos! Thank you! Question/Suggestion - Would love to see your thoughts on all the Abilities (For example, how good or bad are the Defence/Personality/Nasty deeds Abilities?) AND perhaps give some basic examples of mid to late game builds (Ability point allocation +'s and -"s)? Even just a screenshot of some of your late game character builds? THANK YOU!

[@Harkz0r]

Bully works with wands? Wow, I simply have to try this for myself. I bet the damage at the beginning of the game is absolutely ludicrous, especially because elemental damage appears to bypass armour rating for the purposes of damage reduction. And I guess would be quite easy to use Slow Current or spam Crippling Blow with warrior to spread the love. And while you might not be able to use power stances, I bet you can still use the Rage skill from Man-at-Arms right? Since you have a 100% chance of hitting. Would just need a way of boosting Str a bit. Jeez, I wonder what damage you would do to the Charred-Bone skeletons. It was already crazy enough with Staff of Magus! Can you craft Tormented Souls onto wands? If so that would be disturbingly good. If not, I suppose there are still ways around it, but might need to sacrifice Int which would make CC unfortunately less potent (I guess you can still get int on the wands though). Bearing in mind I haven't quite left Cyseal in any of my playthroughs yet though in one of them I'm standing on the edge of the forest :p

[@mikesmith6438]

With the control fighter, should I dump all of my points into Str until I max it out to 15 without gear bonuses, before starting to put points into Speed and Con? Or is there a "magic number" before 15 whereafter putting points into Str is gratuitous? Same question with regards to the wand witch. How many points should I put into Speed before I switch over to putting points into Perception?

[@OdinsDadd]

It doesn't let me put more than one point in anything to start on the abilities

[@xNachtmahRx]

Hey, what skills should the wand witch learn? Should i focus solely on witchcraft or should i go with the elemental magic for my wands?

[@enzo_plays]

I really like your wand witch build and was wondering who would be good companions and second character to compliment her. Would like to do a hydro/aero Mage with some synergy. Also do you invest in other magic schools later in the game with witch?

[@Dogmatih]

I typically go 1 fairly tanky melee, one caster of sorts, and then just 2 as high damage as possible. For wand witch, I go far enough into Witchcraft to get charm which can be very useful. Since your action points will be better used wanding I put my extra points into leadership or lore once I have the important things maxed out.

[@Apollo_21mil]

What do you go into on the witch mid and late game , would be helpful about to start a run with this build, thanks.

[@ibsensantiago4096]

So, I wanted to ask, IF i did lone wolf, wand witch and a second type of caster how would i go about it. I love charm spells also would you recomend it for a wand witch?

[@Dogmatih]

I would recommend a Geo/Pyro with the Wand Witch. Take a few points into Witchcraft on your Wand Witch to get the cham spell. In lone wolf being able to deal maximum damage and being at a distance is where I have found most success doing lone wolf.

[@renefloran1567]

What about two wand witches instead both lonewolf bully . Would they synergize well?

[@renefloran1567]

So far two dual witches but with geo instead of pyro has been killing everything for me. I gave them witchcraft later on but ong the damage is ridiv with all this fire and poison. I started them with zombie

[@Dogmatih]

Awesome, I'm a big fan of Zombie.

[@renefloran1567]

Dogmath the main issue is you wanna make a lot of poison fields and oil and heal what you nead then explode them when they get close but it works well

[@xNachtmahRx]

Any idea what to pick when levelling up?

[@boozie773]

Great video! Any idea if wand witch still works? Specifically the bully / wand interaction. It is early but I'm not noticing a dmg increase when mobs are knocked down.

[@mark881122]

Boozie 77 i

[@raisedbysirens6376]

I too am wondering that.

[@xSilverWolfx15]

Probably not relevant anymore but if it helps in anyway, I believe the interaction is still pretty strong. I personally have noticed a damage increase, even more so when I have oath on. It seems to still be viable.

[@mikesmith6438]

This is super helpful. I'm loving both builds so far! Thanks so much! Can you tell me what talents you choose for each build as you progress?

[@mikesmith6438]

Oh, wait, I see you already answered that question below.

[@adamdugosz4561]

Why Perception on dual wand ? 100% chance to hit anyway... and only 1% crt chance

[@Dogmatih]

For the Crit, Initiative, and the starting action points. Not a top priority, but still worth some points.

[@adamdugosz4561]

thanks. next question :d what about int ? when i put point on int they increase wand dmg. So int is main stat? Next speed for ap and percep for crit?

[@Dogmatih]

Int only increases the Offense Rating of Int based weapons (Wands/Staffs). Which only effects their hit chance, since they have 100% hit, there is no need to increase Int past the level you need for your spells. It will not increase the damage of wand attacks.

[@oldforestroad]

Thanks Dogmath, this helped me out. Appreciate it.

[@renefloran1567]

is that master summoner talent worth it ?

[@Sonoframbo487]

Great video. Great knowledge

[@DecoMetallo]

Do wands benefit from INT? If yes, how? Thanks :D

[@Dogmatih]

INT will increase the Offense Rating of your wand. All that does is increase your chance to hit, but since wands have a 100% chance to hit this does nothing. This is one of the major benefits of the build, you don't need to invest much if anything into INT.

[@kaveiros75]

So... for a Shadowblade, you actually prefer to have a Summon Spider than Aerojump and Teleport? Weird man.... :/

[@Andres17pz]

IKR, like strength instead of dexterity. I rather go tank/support with shield build with CC and buffs, and have an elemental dual wand mage. Invest in CON and STR with the tank, and INT and PER with the mage. No need to go for speed if you go Glass Cannon and Know it all. Get HP and Initiative with your equipment and go kick some butts.

[@Xfirex10]

Thank you Dogmath, I was about to quit the game. Characters customization is hard for first timer. at least I have a starting point for my first playthrough...I went with the default setting of the game..oh man :,(

[@Suzumebachigr]
