#Wizard build pillars of eternity new player manual#

Well, a Cipher is also the class I'd recommend for someone primarily interested in magic who wants a 'fun/useful/user-friendly class.' One of the reasons for this is that wizards, priests and druids start with Per Rest spells, and only their level 1 spells become Per Encounter at character level 9, and their level 2 spells become Per Encounter at character level 11. That player was primarily interested in ranged DPS but also wanted magic. I appreciate any advice or clarification you can provide.įirst, let me link my advice on this thread.

Intellect for AoE size and longer spell/effect durations.

Perception for accuracy/hitting with spells and also their range.

Dexterity for action speed which I assume includes speed of casting/recovering from casting spells.

I also imagine that the developer created companions you can obtain are probably more interesting to have in my party than additional generic hirelings I can create, right?įinally (for now), I am also a little confused by the attribute point descriptions because it sounds like for a caster almost every stat is important/useful and I am more used to games where there are one or two clear stats that are important to focus on for casters:

I am not looking for min/max 'best' class advice, more like what a fun/useful/user-friendly class to focus on for my PC would be keeping in mind that I will obviously need to learn this game's unique mechanics as I play.įrom reading the manual it seems like there are many classes that could fall into a caster category (chanter, cipher, druid, priest and wizard). I know you gain companions of different classes and can also somehow recruit/create more custom companions so maybe the PC class doesn't matter so much but in my past playing of RPGs I have found that I usually have the most fun with spell casting classes. I realize a lot of this may come down to personal preference but I am looking for some advice on a class to pick for my player character when I start playing this game.
