Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback NEW SKILLS

I feel like there needs to be more defined skills for certain roles. Currently there is no tank archetype and skills that can be utilized to create one. If the warfare school has an ability that pulls 2-3 enemies to you for the cost of 2-3ap and a soft cc of slow for 1 turn at 5turn cd, that would add more flavor to the roles.

I can 100% confirm there are going to be warfare tanking skills. And they also indicated adding push/pull skills, so it's quite likely you'll see something like the first skill you suggested (though I feel like that needs a downside or else will be ridiculously OP).

(In general all caps thread titles aren't appreciated too much, just saying.)

haha it just happened to be on when I was typing. But its great to hear that there will be a skill with similar capabilities. Right now, I feel like the Strength and Constitution attribute isn't really useful for any build atm. And if someone decided to tank with the damage reflection stat in a party, Enemies will just ignore them and target the more vulnerable targets in the group making it pointless to add points to it, unless you are playing solo.

Here are two melee type skill sets that I came up with. The first skill set can deal unparalleled damage in return for sacrificing health, which makes it deal even more damage. The second skill set is a defensive type that thrives when cornered and focuses on keeping enemies just far enough that they can't attack.

Revenant : Each level in Revenant boosts Damage by 5% for every 10% hp lost.

Skill Description Cost Cooldown

Frenzy: Sacrifice 5% max hp for a quick attack. 1 Ap None

Reckless Charge: Charge forward and damage all enemies in your path. Each enemy hit deducts 5% max hp but increases damage by same amount. This amount stacks. 1 Ap 3 turns

Predator: Jump at an enemy to deal physical damage and heal yourself. Can also inflict cripple. 3 Ap 5 turns

Immortal: Become immune to damage for 1 turn. 1 Ap 6 turns

Wicked Offering: Deal physical damage to characters around you to heal yourself. 3 Ap 4 turns

Cold Blooded: Sacrifice 20% hp to add 20% piercing damage to all attacks for 3 turns. 0 Ap 6 turns

Massacre: Sacrifice 50% hp and inflict a large amount of piercing damage to surrounding enemies. 3 Ap, 1 Sp 5 turns


Martial Arts: Each level in Martial Arts boosts range of melee weapons by 10%.

Skill Description Cost Cooldown

Dragon's Tail: Damage and knockback all enemies within weapon range and inflict cripple. 2 Ap 5 turns

Return the Storm: Reflect all enemy projectiles that come within weapon range for 2 turns. 2 Ap 6 turns

Serpent Form: Increase dodge by 10% for each enemy within weapon range and apply taunt to surrounding enemies for 3 turns. 3 Ap 6 turns

Cornered Tiger: Strike enemies within weapon range repeatedly according to their number. 3 Ap 6 turns

Phantom Strikes: Trigger an opportunity strike on enemies within weapon range whenever they attack or use a skill for 2 turns. 3 Ap, 1 Sp 6 turns

That sounds similar to the Juggernaut skill school. Unfortunately, that school lost the voting and Larian won't be adding another skill school to D:OS 2.

Damn. Then they need to add more to the polymorph skill set since half the skills are a joke.
