Sorry but I do not believe you. Most strong casters in BG2 and ToB cast circle of death that kills your summons in one turn. And you said that you only use potions and bless as buffs? Against Demogorgon, Abazigal, The twisted Rune, the dragons?
Maybe I´m used to playing in harder with SCS and I remember the core mod more difficult. Care to show us some videos?
I'm cool with you not believing me. I don't take footage when I play, and I just defeated Demigorgon and Amelyssan tonight, so I am not looking to do that all over again to prove anything to a stranger online.
And a small correction, I use bless and a few other priest buffs, not many, but no potion buffs. I find dealing with lots of potions in most games tedious and annoying, so I find ways to just ignore it as much as I can.
I did take a before and after of the Demigorgon if you are interested,

That fight I cast both Bless AND Protection From Evil 10', as it is a pretty serious fight. That was the only prebuffing I did. I abuse the hell out of simulacrum, Imoen, my custom Sorcerer, and my main character, a Berserker with the Helm of Vhailor, all have dopplegangers, and you can see what summons I have in both screenshots. That is Minsc in the Big Metal Unit.
Against dragons that are not Abazigal or his son, I have my sorcerer cast timestop, shapechange into a mindflayer, eat the dragon's brain. Easy. Or, before I have those spells, I just hit them until they die.
Against Abaz and Son, whom are immune to my tomfoolery, it is my usual summon spam. Usually only my main goes into melee while everybody else is at range.
Against any liches, Daystar Sunray x2 (thanks Simulacrum) gets the job done.
Plus, Berserker is a super fun kit. There are so many things that my character doesn't have to worry about. Stuns, Charms, Fear, Mazing/Imprisonment. So while my main character is going beast mode, my mages are spell stripping enemy casters and other units are pelting them with arrows and slingstones. In BG1 and most of 2, mages aren't even a big problem if you make sure to stun them before they can cast. The harder fights in 2 and ToB have cheese strats aplenty, which I am not above using.
