Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Help with 4th character

Hi - I need help with my 4th character. My plan is 2h warfare poly that is the Red Prince, pure Ranger that is Ifan and summoner with necro that does mostly summons with a dash of hydro for support played by Lohse. Ifan is the main. I would like to ad Fane for the last spot, but what build works with this setup? Thanks.

I'd vote for someone specializing in hydro for the healing and magic armor support. But hydro only really goes well with aero, so hydro + aero. Plenty of support capability, cc's, and burst dmg.

+1 for that. Aero can do excellent damage too.

A Fane would need geo, so he can poison himself for healing, I would say.

An Undead in a team of alives is pretty tricky in general.

I doubt that you really need geo as an undead (cuz I've never used it in non-magic party, and everything was fine). I prefer the lifesteal from Vampiric (sco+hydro or plain mosquito swarm) and necromantic buffs like bone armor.
also I always tried to develop a habit of treating characters that lost all their armor\m.res as "already dead", because often they are perma-CC'ed after this point.

as for the build.. you have a ranger, 2h and support-summoner. i'd say you can go with a physical mage that can deal damage, buff allies with enrage\living on the edge\deathwith and etc or serve as an off-tank(necromancer, preferably with a shield for survivability and a bit of warfare skills) or a rogue type character that can use it's mobility to assassinate squishy targets in a turn (scoundrel+warfare or dual wield with a bit of poly and air)

Thanks all for the advice! I think I may make Fane a DW rogue that assassinates mages. So, 2h front-line warrior, Ranger, DW rogue and summoner w/ support spells. Thanks all.
