You can’t cast spells as an Ogre and the Ogre form is terribly useful. It also gives you the ability to transform into an Ogre which is a poor man’s Druid shapeshift. Transmuter actually benefits from power level, so that’s good. Transmutation is not that big a deal (it has some great spells though, like Freezing Pillar), but losing Illusion sucks and is totally not worth it. But, at least you’re not giving up Conjuring this time. Once again, power level has almost no effective on Enchantments. Enchanter – Pillars of Eternity 2 WizardĮnchanter, like Conjurer, is not very good.
Evocation contains basically every damaging spell in the game, and Illusion is also a very useful magic school. In exchange for gaining almost nothing, you lose access to the Evocation and Illusion schools of magic. For one thing, Conjuring spells don’t really benefit significantly from power level, so you’re gaining almost nothing. Of all the Wizard subclasses, Conjurer is probably worst. As you can probably gather, that’s a huge penalty and for that reason Wizard subclasses are generally not very good (except for Evoker) unless you’re going to something very specific. Wizard subclasses all work the same way: the magic school of the associated subclass gains +2 power level, all other schools have +10% recovery time, and you lose access to two entire schools of magic.
Combo of Chill Fog + Combusting Wounds and later Combusting Wounds and AoE from Citzal's Spirit Lance work great.Pillars of Eternity 2 Wizard Subclass Options Pure Wizard Summoned weapons benefit from any weapon focus talents, Galant Focus is nice too and thanks to Chill Fog and other CC spells it's worth to pick apprentice sneak attack. Melee wizards use talents for 2h weapons so try to build them like fighters. Belt of Royal Deadfire Cannoneer is great at the beginning - easy to level up, grants powerful Firebrand (another summoned weapon) and flame shield. You should avoid encounters if you want to pick gloves of manipulation or ring of searing flames. Veteran's Recovery is usaually good (if you have high INT and MIG), but Concelhaut's Staff should be enough to heal you in combat and as every summoned weapon it has better enchantement than any weapon you could get at this time. Wizards have very low Accuracy and Deflection, so you have to pick Arcane Veil and its upgraded version, put some point in Perception if you want to survive close combat. I give Grieving Mother light to light/medium armor, and dual weilds small fast attack weapons so she can build up focus and cast her confusing/dominating spells, converting part of the enemy forces to my side.įirst act can be difficult. Their crowd control spells are generally shorter ranged than the wizards, so I find them more successful closer to the front line of a battle. I think a melee cypher would be more successful than the wizard. I always have Kana's & Palagina's lore skill high, and as they are melee focused, they can also cast spells through scrolls when needed.
One of the many things I like about POE, is that you can increase any characters Lore skill to the point that they can use higher level scrolls, so if you really want or need spells cast on the front line this is a way to do it. Nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, but I think a melee wizard would end up being more frustrating than successful. Their primary effectiveness in combat is their spell casting, especially AOEs in later stages of the game. Another reason that a melee wizard would be a difficult build, is that you would need to put them in heavier armor which increased their recovery time between attacks or spell castings.
