Divinity: Original Sin 2 — Witch Class Build Guide (Tips & Tricks)

Updated May 26, 2024 by Rhenn Taguiam: Players eagerly awaiting Larian Studios’ new IPs after the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 may give Divinity Original Sin 2 a shot based on how its gameplay mechanics closely resemble the award-winning D&D adaptation. However, the difference in overall rulesets can make Original Sin 2 a daunting game to start, especially for players unfamiliar with the world of Rivellon and possible bui

The Witch is one of several different pre-made classes in _Divinity: Original Sin II _ . Due to this game having a very fluid class system, many may to be lost in all the choices and options for their character. Between attributes, skill lines, combat abilities, civil abilities, and talents, there is a lot to choose from in creating any charac

Out of the three, summoning is more useful for a player who wants more distance between them and the enemy. The huntsman skill line is useful for players who only want to use select scoundrel abilities so they can keep a bow equipped instead of dual-wielding daggers. Polymorph is less useful in general but still useful if a player is interested in staying close to their enemies and fading into the background. After that, let’s looks at what skills are useful for the Witch in their base skill li

Grasp of the Starved — AOE that causes surfaces and clouds to turn to blood, summons undead hands from the ground that deal 250% physical damage, and can set crippled to those who don’t have physical ar

For a more stealthy and companion based playstyle invest in Summoning or Aerotheurge. In Aerotheurge, add skills like Blinding Radiance, Teleportation, Nether Swap, Evasive Aura, Uncanny Evasion, Blessed Smoke Cloud, and Smoke Cover. In Summoning, add skills like Conjure Incarnate, Elemental Totem, Cannibalize, Door to Eternity, Dominate Mind, and Summon Inner De

Though the situation may change with the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 , the closest one can get to having a full-fledged Dungeons & Dragons session on console is by playing **Divinity: Original Sin 2 ** . It is not just that it is a turn-based fantasy game — those are by no means uncommon on the latest console generation; Original Sin II fully captures some of the more niche and enjoyable traits from table-top hd-2d tactical rpg experiences. It adopts such staple TTRPG features as a broad range of abilities , endlessly customizable armor and attire, and a tone that carefully walks the line between high fantasy epic and goofball comedy (the natural endpoint for every Dungeons & Dragons campaign). It is especially impressive that the console port holds up against the PC original , maintaining the complexity with a suitably streamlined control structure. Digital D&D is a difficult goal by any measure, but Original Sin 2 manages to nail the feeling and fun, building on it with an incredible range of customization opti

For a more aggressive and magic-based playstyle go for Geomancy or Pyrokinetic skill lines. In Geomancy, adding skills like Contamination, Poison Dart, Acid Spores, Reactive Armor , Venom Coating, and Venomous Aura. In Pyrokinetic, adding skills like Haste, Searing Daggers, Bleed Fire, Firebrand, Deploy Mass Traps, and Sabot

Elemental Arrowheads is a good way of further diversifying your damage since you can use any nearby surfaces to change or increase your damage. Ricochet is a good way to attack multiple enemies in one attack. Last, pick either Poison Dart or Contamination , depending on your race and party setup; particularly if you are an Elf like Sebille, who can make blood surfaces with Flesh Sacrifice. For first Talents go for Elemental Affinity to lower your AP costs or Elemental Ranger for more damage against enemies standing on surfa

Attributes and combat abilities are something that are granted a point every time a character levels up while civil abilities and talents are only received every couple levels. Civil abilities and talents offer interactions that are useful in and out of combat. So which ones are the most useful for a wi

After exploring the tutorial level, players should talk to all the Magisters above deck and engage all of them in combat. This combat forces even the other prisoners to become neutral allies (using their default class and build) and attack the other Magisters. During the chaos, players should try to talk to Windego, which will prompt her to kill all the Magisters, with the player getting all that delicious experie

Players who acquire the Gloves of Teleportation might think it’s a low-level item in the long run. However, to those who don’t have access to Teleport, this piece of equipment can be a lifesaver. Since characters can easily equip and unequip items during their turn, they can get themselves and other allies out of tight situations fairly quic

This class is very similar to the Inquisitor, in that it uses all physical damage and the necromancer skill line. However, it is very different as it is based on stealth with the scoundrel skill line. Due to this, two alternative skill lines would work well to be added to this base. These are the polymorph , huntsman, and summoning skill lin
