BG3: Sorlock Build Guide
To create the best build, you must carefully study the game, considering all the nuances and aspects that combine. This research can take hours or even dozens to complete, so to save you time and nerves, we’ve compiled everything you need to know:
- Race: The first thing to focus on is race. In this case, the best choice would be High Half-Elf, which has Darkvision, cantrip, and, most importantly, shield proficiency, which will be an indispensable aspect of defense.
- Class: In this case, it’s better to start as a Sorcerer to get advantages such as Constitution saving throw proficiency and then progress to Warlock at level 2.
- Warlock Subclass: The Fiend, which will provide you with additional HP and AoE attacks.
- Sorcerer Subclass: In this case, you should choose Draconic Bloodline, which will provide you with good defense and resistance to the elements in the future.
- Eldritch Invocation: Repelling Blast to knock enemies away and Agonizing Blast to increase damage.
- Warlock Spells: Eldritch Blast, Armor of Agathys, and Hex.
- Metamagic Options: You can choose the ones that suit your playstyle, but be sure to choose Quicken Spell, as it is required for Eldritch Blast.
- Feats: Charisma is your everything, but you can also choose Warcaster to better concentrate on key spells.
- Weapon: Markoheshkir
- Ranged Weapon: The Dead Shot
- Shield: Shield of Shielding
- Helmet: Birthright
- Cloak: Cloak of The Weave
- Armour: Robe of the Weave
- Gloves: Spellmight Gloves
- Footwear: Bonespike Boots
- Necklace: Amulet of The Devout
- Ring: Risky Ring
That’s it; this entire build will be perfectly arranged, allowing you to kill enemies and bosses quickly and easily. In addition, if you want to take them down even faster, you can focus on using Eldritch Blast. It’s a powerful spell allowing you to cast a beam of crackling energy, so let’s discuss it in more detail.
BG3: Eldritch Blast Build
At first, Eldritch Blast may look like an ordinary spell like any other. But its potential is much greater than the others. With the right build, you can conjure a potent blast and increase their damage to a huge extent.
Therefore, for this build, it is recommended to level up Warlock to level 4 and then Sorcerer to level 8. When this is done, you will need the following items to maximize the effectiveness and damage of Eldritch Blast:
- Potent Robe – The best option, as it increases your damage and health according to your charisma modifier. In this build, you should focus on maximizing Charisma, so equip this robe as soon as you find it.
- Birthright – Adds 22 Charisma.
- Blade of the First Blood – A great weapon that will bonus armor class and increase your critical chance.
- Cloak of The Weave – Increases the chance of a successful spell, as it boosts attack rolls.
- Surgeon’s Subjugation Amulet – Paralyze enemies when you deal a critical hit.
- Risky Ring – You will gain an advantage in attack rolls, so you can attack more and make critical hits.
- Spellmight Gloves – Allows you to risk reducing your Attack Roll, but if successful, increases damage. It perfectly combines with the Risky Ring to increase your chances of success.
All these items will be perfectly combined, allowing you to perform powerful attacks with multiple blasts simultaneously. Thus, you’ll be able to fire three lasers at level 10. Further, equipping these items will increase damage, the number of lasers, and critical hit chance, allowing you to destroy enemies much faster.
Combine Warlock skills such as Hex, Agonizing Blast, and Repelling Blast to increase your damage even more. In addition, you can also use consumables to increase your Charisma more, providing additional damage and health with Potent Robe.
That’s it; the ideal Sorlock build using the Eldritch Blast spell in Baldur’s Gate 3 is ready, but don’t forget that a lot also depends on your other companions and how you interact with them.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is available now for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
