So, just to tell you my party is really ok now thanks to your advice. I got my barb as main, doing lot of aoe dmg, and usually not having issues Eder, as main tank, pretty straightforward Aloth built on magic weapons spec (blast etc), so that he can be useful without spells Durance with Scion of fire, he is the only one a bit squishy, was wondering if I should give him some heavy armor instead of his robe Sagani, with a heavy pet build, very fun to see this fox deal a ton of dmg when going out of stealth I intend to stay at 5 ppl to level faster. Thanks again all !

Yeah druid maybe next time, seems a lot of fun ! To come back on your point that anyone can use any weapon, would you rather then for a wizard use a good bow instead of the basic bourdon / wand / scepter ? The magic weapons are fast but low damage it seems. Thank you.

Thank you all ! Very efficient ideas ! I'll get veteran's recovery since I have high Intel. I like the dual wielding style better than 2h, now I just need to get decent 1h weapons at my low level (4) . I'll try to level up a bit with Eder Aloth and Durance only.

Thank you all, great insights, advice noted I think I'll try a dual wield frontline dps guy ! Also (slightly off topic) are you in favor of rolling your own party members ? Or do you keep the people you meet ? They do not seem very good, but of course they bring in their quests etc. I was thinking to try a 4 members party so that my xp goes up fast.

Hi guys, I have recently bought the game (late comer yes !) and really like it. My first try (normal difficulty) as main character was a wizard but I feel that my current team is not well balanced, and I would like to try something else. I did not like that my main character was too quickly useless at low lvl (lvl 5 currently) because without spells else he can't do much, so you have to rest a lot. As a 2nd try I would like a character which can decently take down enemies ("trash mobs") and has good survivability. So I thought of playing a barbarian but I really need help on the build. Please consider non solo, normal difficulty level mode. I know it "should be" a breeze but still it has been a long time since I played Baldur's Gate 2 ! Which abilities are good ones for an aoe build ? Should I use 2h weapon or dual wield ? heavy armor or light ? Thank you for your help. And if you have other class suggestion it's welcome. A.
