Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General The one and only caster class

Now that one level in wizard is one level in bard, cleric, druid or sorcerer when multiclassed into...

What should be the starting class of the chosen one? The blessed almighty, the 12/12/12/12/12 wizard-druid-cleric-sorcerer-bard?

There's got to be only a handful of variations that are meta. Which is the absolute best?

Also, does that mean all casters are charisma mains now for full story optimization, or would my wizard spells suffer? Do we even need wizards or druids anymore? I feel like a wizard is a joke next to the majesty of the sorcerer-bard... that's maybe also a full time warlock. And a paladin

Who will win?
The druid-cleric class (now one class)
The bard-sorcerer class (now one class)
The stinky wizard that's, I dunno. Also an int fighter or rogue subclass. We all joked about Gale backstabbing people, but that's not how I imagined it 🤔
