Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Reassigning stats

Hey all, the deal is that i recently got my battletower and im now roaming the fjord, it seems though that im having some difficulties with the enemies in this area, its simply to hard for me even with difficulty set to low.
Now i got the idea in my head that it would be easier with a different setup (currently "Warrrior"), but i invested most of my stats in str dex and vit, and i would like to change that into some int and spirit aswell, but how do i do that?

waste of stats

go for pure vit and str
dex is for hunters and ranged attacks with bows aswel as crit dmg

if you run into an area where the monsters are to strong it means your skillset and equipment cannot compete with the current area

id suggest u focus all your skills on whirlwind and dual wielding get them both to 10 then clear the area out and change back later on(if needed)
1 point in healing to selfsupport in tight spots and the use of your crystal skull pet helps
also dont waste skillpoints on things like summon undead/ghost or sorts
rush attack is also a very nice option if your having alot of difficulty reaching the casters and run away rangers

most of the groups u find in orobas fjords are consistent of several imps usualy 3 warriors and 2 casters
whirlwind rank 10 knocks them over frequently enough for you to kill between them

ofc when u first arive in the fjords its just hard but keep some potions handy and youl make it fine

If you're using a plain damage weapon then strength is good but if you're using a weapon or weapons with magic damage then put points into intelligence. That is what raises your magic damage.

Get a demon if you have a point to spend as well, he helps greatly. Far more then your creature that just wanders off and pees on everything and does not help you at all. Your necromantic creature is good for in caves and other tight areas to use as a block as they can't get by as he is peeing but in the open he is pretty much useless because of his constant peeing and scratching at the ground. Plus if you're running and meet up with something he is way slower then you and will not even get there in time to do anything for you. They should have made the leg stats of him have to do with his speed as he is slower then molasses on a January morning.

Good or maybe bad thing is once you find the combination to get thru the groups of goblins in the fjords you'll level fast. Way to fast if you ask me as they can not even damage me now even standing still in my bra and panties. They just whack away for a big old "0" damage.

Dex is not just meant for rangers, as it raise range defensive as well. If you are building a critical warrior, dex is needed as well. Over abuse on stats such vit wont bring you any good in long, as you can find accessories such as rings and necklace which will provide you will hp and mp you need. Always reserve some stats points for your stat planning later. I can roughly give you some stats references from my old warrior at lvl 35. The stats are achievable by using charms and stats from gear only.

Hp:807
Mp:497
Vit: 50
Spi: 20
Str: 96
Dex: 60
Int: 96

As warrior, passive skill which raise base damage are more important compare active one. If you are on the latest patch, you normal damage will deal some aoe damage as well. Max out passive skills which benefits you such as weapon mastery and bleed will give you better advantage. When you base damage increase, you skill damage will increase as well.

You level should be usually around the range of lvl 18 to 20, if you just start off from getting your battle tower. I think main reason on your fast death is most likely on your armor defense, as well as necromantic creature. A well equip creature can easily tear down those goblins and imps in fjord. I was on medium difficulty mode during my warrior, where I use a mage type creature as my choice. With a rank 6 or 7 head and hand parts which boost magic damage, my creature can easily instant ko any imp or goblin with its magic blast, which actually help a lot during the fight. And make sure you had good armor ratings with your armor. With good armors, you wont die easily with the help of some potions.

Thanks alot for the replies, they are very appriciated, i'll try out the advice you given me as soon as im done at work

I see i didnt do it all wrong, just need to rearrange my skill setup. However from the replies i gather that it is not possible to reset stat points?

again thanks.

Stats points are not possible to be reset, therefore I rarely use them unless needed. To be honest, you gears play much more important roles than you stats most of time, as well as the way you handle mob. In my current second run through, my ranger has reach lvl28, and I still had 60+ unused stat points. My melee and range defense rating are at 44%+ with help of gear, where my magic defense rating is at 50%+. Reserve stat points is good for stats planning later on before the final battle or near end game. You gears wont be finalize before you close or reach lvl 30 and above.

As for skills, I would like to emphasize again, max all our passive skills first. With extra skill points you can invest in any skills you like. Weapon mastery, mana efficiency and bleed is a must have skill. Bleed can be stop when the skill reach 100% damage. With success bleed occurs, you dealing 200% normal damage attack. Skill like regenerate can be ignore if you like, as I found it not much useful later even at high rank. You can always replenish hp with potions easily with potion brewing trick, where you can create hundreds of potions easily. If you like a 1 hit ko skill, thousand strike is your choice. A big aoe, whirlwind then. You can even add 1 or 2 magic skills if you like to, as long you have extra points.

okay good to know btw i tried the setups as adviced and it helped me alot.

thx again
