Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks So Confused

Bear with me this post might be a little lengthy. 1st let me say this game is absolutely amazing and I love the depth and the style of it. I am totally preparing to dump an insane amount of hours into the game, but I keep restarting. Don't yell I know I can respec in Act 2 but then you don't get the starter spells to start off haha.

Here's my issue, I never feel satisfied with the party I have. So I come to you with the question is it better to go full physical damage, full magic damage or a good combination of both? And how important is a support character. Ps for my first play through I am going to play on Classic difficulty.

Here are a few party ideas I have in mind:
-War/Poly/Geo/Con/Str/1-hand
-War/Necro/Str/Int/2-hand
-Hunts/Pyro/Fin/Wit/Ranged
-Summ/Hydro/Int


-War/Poly/Geo/Con/Str/1-hand
-Pyro/Geo/Int/Dual Wield
-Hydro/Aero/Int
-Summ/Necro/Int


-War/Poly/Geo/Con/Str/1-hand
-War/Necro/Str/Int/2-hand
-Pyro/Geo/Int/Dual Wield
-Summ/Hydro/Int

I am spending more time planning a party than actually playing lmao! Help!

*edit: I'm not opposed to Scoundrel/rogue builds, just not the play style that jumps to the front of my mind first haha.
