Unpopular opinion, but multiclassing giving access to powerful main class passives should not be a thing
It literally doesn't matter the slightest bit.
If you make a companion or hireling with 8-10 sorc / 2 wiz / optional 2 cleric, you only get 2 feats.
You cannot have 20 caster stat and elemental adept which you can with 3 feats on a pure sorc hireling / companion.
And I still can't find any lightning bolt scrolls in Act 3, all the vendors only sell level 5-6 scrolls now so I can't try it out.
Even if I tried it on my MC - 1 feat for +2 CHA, 1 feat for Elemental Adept: lightning, no more dual wield staffs because no third feat.
+2 stat from Shar's mirror of loss, +1 stat from Volo, there's a +2 charisma helm in Act 3, I got it from Ramazith vendor. And I was sitting on 3 chain lightning scrolls when I got to Raphael in House of Hope, and I wasn't even actively buying scrolls. Make sure you discover all the vendors and keep checking on them as you hit a new level.
The lack of +2 to a mainstant isn't even that significant when the most powerful spells against a boss are magic missiles with Dribbles clown gloves and it has a 100% hit chance, and Shadowheart with Bless and the Arcane Tower +Bless staff gives like 3d4 bonus to spell attack rolls anyways. But having extra actions through thief passive or denying Wizard uniqueness by letting other classes learn scrolls at lv1 and subspec passives at lv2 is a problem.
Martials are also supposed to be limited by mobility, but this game made jump OP and gave everyone Misty Step through gear like candy. Lazael gets Misty Step on top of Fly from the Githyanki racial boots. Power creep through gear bonuses is massive.
You didn't read anything I wrote did you?
1) I said lightning bolt not chain lightning.
2) I said companion not MC. You arent using volos eye on a companion, and I missed the mirror of loss anyway.
3) The CHA hat only goes up to 22 max CHA. But yet all this explanation of how the multiclass works and people still refuse to understand you CAN'T USE CHA ON A MULTICLASS SORC BECAUSE MEMORISED SCROLLS ALWAYS USE INT - YOU CANNOT LEARN CHA BASED LEVEL 6 SPELLS WITHOUT A MINIMUM OF 11 SORCERER LEVELS.
4) Only 2 feats is shit. Nothing in multiclassing compensates for it.
Pointless theory crafting from multitudes of people who haven't even tried to play the build they think is so broken.
Wizards are weak. But each and every one of these multiclasses is also still weaker than a pure 12 level sorcerer. Being able to memorize scrolls is a pointless and over rated gimmick that only sounds good in theory crafting, and not when actually playing the game.
Also the most powerful spells against bosses is magic missiles? What????
