Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Loss to ESL from Fighter vs. Ranger

Of course, you are primarily concerned with the role-playing game, but you can also implement an idea without this fact and consider it purely for gamistic reasons

Divine Smite from the Paladin is quite clear to me BUT with Cleric 5 you also get the option of Spirit Guardians and then you have an immense damage potential with Stage Fright + Spirit Guardians (Important: I am not primarily assuming a solo character)

However, your objection regarding Bard 10 is of course absolutely correct and definitely has its advantages.

Thank you in any case for taking up the debate
