Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Two Best Skills in the Game

My survivor is level 18 now. How did you start with bow and pickpocket?

In Act 1 I put my skill pts only into bow => acc and critical hit for combat against Fergie, DK etc. In the Citadel I put 2 pts into pp. I always kept 1-2 skill pts free, so I could add if I wanted a BF item badly. Wait, I'll look how my skills were at end of Act 1 and then edit my post.

I think point blank was a waste - but you can see clearly here, my int was on 1 - so, I had not started to give her mana ability. this screenies is right outside the Citadel exit.

This is at the beginning of Act 3. I have started to build her up as a hammer mage. Pts are on 2, not more, I maxed that out to 5 in Act 4

This is at the beginning of Act 4. PP on 4, hammer on 4 - the other 2 spells were just for experiments => lightning on 2, meteor on 1. I didn't know what to do with my skill pts - and you see, I had still 3 left.Hammer on 4 only needs 200 mana, so this was sufficient for me.

my endstats, getting ready to fight the endboss. I still had my bow skills, no melee, but had added Ethereal magic age objects on 5. I wanted to see, how my char will survive without any sword skills and see how much impact age objects had. I used hammer (still on 4, didn't max out, was too lazy, though I had a skill pt free). Was too lazy to remove lightning and meteor.

I'm level 18 with an intelligence of 7. I can just now cast hammer 1 time. Should I even bother trying to become a wizard or just stick to crossbows?

Play whatever style is the most fun - this is a game.

You can raise intelligence and do more casting, work on archery or become a melee warrior (agility is really nice for this - more important than strength probably).

Even for a pure warrior ability to cast hammer will be useful - I don't think I could have won the final fight without it without sucking down scores or hundreds of healing potions <yawn>.

at level 18 it might be a bit late to change path but it is not impossible. You dont really need that much mana just enough to get you through and then you have your mana potions. I do not have a very high intelligence and can still play wizard. Though it does get a bit tedious from time to time using endless supplies of mana potions

You can say that again! It is a very powerful combination, and Lighting Storm hits multiple enemies. With a few levels of Lightning plus one level of the curse, my archer/mage is doing 200+ damage to multiple foes--usually fatal...heh...

Another thing that is fun is to sneak up to a group of baddies and blast 'em with a good fireball or two...LOL...That will clear a room fast...Just make sure not to hit your second char with it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
