Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Which divine skills should I use my points on?

I have arrived to the wasteland and am wondering which of the new divine skills I should use my skillpoints on? Which are more usefull? I know I can get the spirit form level 1 from the black dragon, but apart from that skill which will be most helpfull towards the enemies in the wasteland?

Save and try each out; reload if you don't care for it. Generally these spells are not considered that great, except maybe for Divine Death (especially when preceded by Curse). Someone in the old forum wrote a defense of the Divine skills, describing each in some detail, but I couldn't find it quoted or repeated in this forum.

Hmm... You are right - they are not that good - Divine Death didn´t seem to work at all - but I do not have Curse so maybe that is why it doesn´t work.

I've only found two Divine Skills to be useful:

Divine Death is a high damage spell on some enemies, useful some of the time.

• Level 1 Target must have spiritual resistance 10 or die. Inflicts 100+110 damage
  Magic cost: 20
• Level 2 Target must have spiritual resistance 20 or die. Inflicts 100+120 damage
  Magic cost: 21
• Level 3 Target must have spiritual resistance 30 or die. Inflicts 100+130 damage
  Magic cost: 22
• Level 4 Target must have spiritual resistance 40 or die. Inflicts 100+140 damage
  Magic cost: 23
• Level 5 Target must have spiritual resistance 50 or die. Inflicts 100+150 damage
  Magic cost: 24

I believe that what this means is that if your enemy has under the spiritual resistance they need to resist, they die. If they have more then the spiritual resistance they need to resist, they take massive damage instead, but I'd have to load my character and check for sure.
