Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Feel punished for mixing my classes Magic/physical

I Agree with Error3's early reply.
Magic damage seems pretty weak currently. only played the game in Multiplayer playthroughs as Mixed classes.

So far I've noticed that
1.) 1hand+Shield does absolutely 0 dmg can't cc since can't break armor unless you use overpower. ( Can't even block with shields....)
2.)Rangers can do crazy damage with a well lined up marksman's fang.
3.)Elf's Sacrifice Flesh + Adrenaline becomes a must have because of the lack of any way to increase AP.
4.)Summoners feel very weak the further your level up( I don't believe Summoners scale with attributes like intelligence which makes them awful for anything but decoys unless you are using totem bug from high ground.)
5.)Physical Damage characters that focus on straight damage seem to just burst everything down with raw damage numbers without the need of cc or another character to even help damage the kill target.
6.)Chameleon Cloak is just to strong in general since AI don't try to pull you out with rain or massive aoe type spells(Combine it with glass cannon on phys damage characters and your ending most combats within 1-2 rounds add Sac+Adrenaline for the extra icing on the cake.)
7.)Peace of Mind is a must have on all characters whether you get it from being a elf or not.

The reason for this disparity between Physical vs Magic is what Error 3 said with the lack of magic combat abilities scaling damage wise per point spent. added onto the problem of running into things that resist that damage type (lava slugs) and unable to apply cc until magic armor is broken. your really forced to mix the skills you use forcing you to spend points in so many combat abilities while only really wanting to skill up Aerothurge and Polymorph past 1 point.
(When spending points in Polymorph as a Caster to get more attribute points to spend in (INT) and retain good wits + memory is your best damage option for Combat abilities there might be a problem....)

on side note Necromancer really needs a Soulsap / Lower resist spell equivalent like in DDOS EE.
