Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General My experience on patch 3.0.33.118

Yes, wands and staves are pretty useless.
Just like in DOS EE. And with respect to CCs, Fortity and Armor of Frost are must haves.
And shields are very good. Most buffs are only 1 ap, so use can use a lot of them in one turn. Also reinforce armor is handy. Using 2 AP on it, is much better than losing a turn to
CC.
