probably a stupid question, but.... (lemmy.ca)

Well- two stupid questions:

  1. When should I multiclass? For instance: I have a very low level level cleric that I’d like to try a level or two of Druid with. Is there a specific level where I should take a level of Druid, or does it not matter? Do I do it way later, or earlier?

  2. If I take a level of Druid, can I go back to leveling cleric? Or does cleric stop at that level?

Thanks in advance!

Why is your party taking damage with Light Cleric

Uhhh, there were several late game combats where enemies used big area of effect spells that did 60+, some even 100 damage. Stuff died. That was not really avoidable with warding flare.

You mention act 2 and 3 so spoilers I guess:

A2 spoilers

In the halsin fight, a well placed wall of fire completely trivialises the fight. Spirit guardians do less damage and is not as wide.

Below moonrise, there's a big fight against a summoner that is triggered on the door, I just went back a bit, walled it, and just waited until the enemy naturally died.

A3 spoilersIn the Minsc fight, taking your party back the tunnel and doinvg a forward wall of fire ensured 2 turns of free damage minimum, completely trivialised the fight, took minsc out with telekinesis to then knock him our ofc.

In the Temple of Grief, same thing as in A2, back the party to the door, place a wall, trivialise the fight with it and the damage of the ranged party.

I did use the wall in the guild fight, and killed 2-3 enemies with it but then one npc went inside so I had to turn it off. still not a bad use anyway.

I used the wall in the cazador fight, where right as it began I misty stepped with a pre-hasted party memeber to help astarion, and then dimension door both out, then cook them out easily with a well placed wall at the entrance, really easy fight.

In the intelect devourer fight in A3, a wall in the stairs again saved the day, since the big devourers would have exploded in the party.

In the fight against Raphael (amazing ost btw), he does a lost of unavoidable areas, where you need to either save against the effect or you just take damage. He killed several party memebers, but the Deva + being able to shoot with bonus actions really made it so much easier. Also, the spike ground did him so much damage too.

In the Ansur fight, his blast did 100-ish damage and killed all my party but my main (who had the amulet of constitution) and the deva, which really helped with the revivs.

I can't recall more encounters right now, but I usually position my party so that the enemies have to go though the wall to get to me and usually I don't really take damage from melee enemies, ever.

One amazing thing with the wall is that it has infinite duration, so even if the enemy takes some turns to be brave enough to go in, you can just pass turns or recover your team slowly on the other side and wait.

In general I felt that spirit guardian has its uses, but that there's way too many ranged enemies, and melee enemies do way more damage than the ranged ones, making the concentration checks harder if you get closer. Good on the A3 rats fight, but so is the light channel divinity. Same thing for the morphic rats.
