Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion So if you didn't know, you can dual wield staffs

Why would you want to dual wield staffs though? Because ....

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Not the thing that most jumps out about this character though. Is it better to just not ask?

most of the staffs give you a spell... at least the good ones do, so if you carry two then thats two extra spells

i personally think a staff + sheild is the better bet but each to their own

My next character will be named Donald Trump.

Dualwielding weapons that arent light requires a feat, does it not ? Dualwielding or Dualwielder or something.

Quite the cost, just for having another spell.




Fortunately its a solo game, so you do you. Doesnt affect my own games at all.

Advertising that you name your characters after Donald Trump and accused rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate is probably not a great way to develop your reputation. Just saying.

Eh you kill babies and everything in this game, and bonk all the companions, thus it would seem the name fits.

Yeah, but being on the internet in 2023, its hard to tell when anybody is being ironic or not.

Is this steam deck?

4K Oled & HDR, the HDR bugs all screenshots and videos because of some issue with Windows itself not being compliant.

Its +2 Spell DC and 2 x arcane battery, in previous DnD editions taking feats that added +1 DC was the best thing to take on casters, this basically does the same thing.

'Just another spell' ... Tell me whats stronger than being able to pump out 4 x level 6 spells in one combat? And with Sorc you can Twin & Quicken them (spend level 1&2 slots on more sorcery points).

With Ethel's hair, you only need 1 +2 ASI to reach 20 casting stat. Normally I would take warcaster, if you use the 23 con amulet you don't need warcaster, so thats what I replaced for dual wield feat. 3rd feat I still take spell sniper for the extra spell crit range and EB.

Given how powerful these staffs are, they are more worth the feat slot to dual wield them than other feats are.

Mine is going to be Ron the Mouse Hunter

Thats what smileys have been invented for.

Hey, I... uh... can't figure it out. I'm trying to equip a staff in the offhand, but it just replaces the one in the main hand. Is a feat needed for this or what am I missing?

You need the dual wielder feat to do that, as the staves aren't light weapons.

Ooooh thank you
