Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Best character builds - for you (spoilers)

after much testing i think the best character set-up is using 2 lone-wolf backstabbers with high sneak.

you dont even need a high scoundrel skill level, level 2 or 3 would be fine. you just want to pick up invisibility and some of the other utility options. you will need to focus on Dex like normal for equipments obviously, however.

other skills will include things like 1 hydro for minor heal, 2 aero for teleport and invis, and 1 marksman for the retreat teleport skill.

basically you just do this: when the fight starts everything will be pointed at you in the vast majority of cases. use the marksman retreat skill or an invisibility skill and move to the back lines. backstab the farthest one away until low action points and then sneak.

if both characters are in sneak mode at the end of their turns the enemies just stand there and do not even try to fight back. if something comes up and you cannot sneak then you have a couple invisibility options and movement options to get out of the way as well.

with this type of play you just need dex to consistently hit with backstab and equip gears. you dont really have to care about getting 5 in any skill or getting those overpowered traits because most enemies will just stand there and let you kill them.

once in a while it may not work, but you should easily be able to stock up potions, scrolls, and whatever else you need for those rare fights.
