Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Sorlock talk

I've read a lot of peoples comments on going Sor 1 -> War 2 -> Sor 9 to be proficient in Concentration. My question is, is that really worth NOT being proficient in Wisdom saves(?) I haven't played much of the game, but Wisdom seems to get hit a lot. I'm assuming that it will continue to be tried. Thoughts?

Also, I was thinking about a War 4 -> Sor 8 for the extra feat. Yeah, I know you lose out on the top-tier Sor spells, but has anyone tried staying in War a bit longer with Pact of the Blade? Thoughts?

I alwyas go this Way with my Sorlock Bro..
Already Beated this Game dont Know more then 20 times..
i just Stop not long ago and im waiting for something new in this game so i can give a Try again..
But.. My Go with Sorlock is This..

Fighter 2/lock 2/ Sorc 8

Fighter 2: becouse yu get Action Surge and If yu get it in the First Level yu can Wear Heavy and Mediun armor and all weapons of the Game.
Lock 2: Yu just Need the Buff that Change the Damage Type from Endrich Blast to Charisma.. thats the Deal with only 2 lock..
Sorcerer 8: Get the Strongest Spells in the Game.. and be a God by endgame.

Stat Wise i always go..
8 str can get +2 with astarion Potion in act 2 Make it 10
16 or 14 Dex To get always to start atacking First Try to get to 18 there are Many ways to Make that Happen without spending Points.. (The Glove in Cresch is the easy way.)
14 Cons No explain.. For yu to Survive Longer.
10 Intel always go with 10 to not get any Negative in Rolls during the Game.
10 Wis Same as intel Try to Get at least 10 so yu dont Get any Negative when need to Roll.
15 or 17 Get +1 from Hag.. without sux.. yu will have to spend point without need and will not be able to Get to Even Numbers witch sux a LOOOOT.haha
BTW by end Game yu should Have at least 18,20 charisma with the Hat yu get +2 so yu can get 20 if its 18 or 22 if its 20.

And Aswering your question.. i Never Had any Problem when i get to at Least 10 in any stat..
Yu will Only Fail a Lot if yu get it to Negative get it ?!
But in High Difficult yu will fail sometimes the RNG of this Game its against yu all the Times..

(Something i Notice is this too.. With High Intel Like Not Negative.. Yu Miss Less.. Shadowheart has a Serious Problem with this becouse her intel its super Low from start.. if yu get it to at Least 10 she stop to miss so Much.. same Aplies to any spell Caster as far as i Noticed..)

i like Tempus cleric instead of Fighter but again those two levels give you every weapon and armour with 'sanctuary' for keeping yourself or escorts alive and a bonus to lightning damage synergies with Sorcerer spells instead of the action surge... i expect that becomes a playstyle choice in the end

i also put 14 into Wisdom and that helps a lot with spotting things or passing talk checks but i only take 12 con and 16 charisma

also Shadowheart uses Intel to cast her firebolt spell so i assume thats what Thorvic is thinking off

There are some amulets who give you advantage in Wisdom saving throws. With this in mind it may be ok to not have proficiency. However, the whole Sorlock concept in my opinion is a bit lacking. I played it for a longer time but always missed something.

If you see Warlock as the main and Sorcerer as the dip, it's ok, worth the losses. But I came from Sorcerer as the base class, and what you get from Warlock does not compensate the loss of the lvl 6 Sorcerer spells for me. With 2 Cleric / 10 Sorcerer I feel a lot better. Full Sorcerer is really strong and maybe the best alternative, but the 2 from Cleric give me enough to accept not getting the lvl 6 stuff.



Edit: I tried Sorlock again and are quite happy now (Warlock 2/Fighter 4/Sorcerer 6). I would start with Warlock because I want proficiency in Wisdom. Constitution is not that important. I would not cast Haste, so the only concentration is for Hex, not worth to lose Wisdom proficiency, especially because there are perhaps better amulets to use than those with advantage in saving throws.
