Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks Tanks and melee's seem absolutely pointless

I played my 1st run with a hybrid team on the highest difficulty and found melee characters the most powerful by far. Warfare is the best tree in the game. The best support tree is probably summon because it gives you yet another meat shield character with any attack type on the field in the level 10 incarnate.

It is true that the game is easier if you specialize. 4x physical is the most powerful team you can make. 4x elemental mages is the 2nd most powerful because magic damage is no where near as high as melee. Hybrid teams work but are not as efficient. There is only 1 fight in the entire game that has a physical immune enemy and its not a very hard one so as long as you can get past that fight, you can wipe the floor with the game with a 2 str melee and 2 dex archer setup + level 10 summon on each for harder fights.
