I'd say that Blast and Penetrating Blast are a must for ranged wizard with decent MIG/DEX/INT. Just make sure to not equip Rods (because they are slower than wands and sceptres; unless it's Golden Gaze which fires two projectiles at once). The thing is that such a wizard can easily compete with a barbarian in party in terms of total damage done (until the last one gets HoF). Penetrating Blast is probably unworthy only on cc wizard with completely dumped Might. Such wizzy could either wield 1h+shield (and thus no blasts at all) or go for Gyrd Háewanes Sténes or Rod of Pale Shades, and passively dominate/stun stuff. Thanks for the input. The wizard being Aloth, wich he already had blast, I thought it would make sense to upgrade his ability. I pefer using wand and scepter also with him. I also want Aloth to have some CC and some magical damage so I'm trying to mix both, so far so good as the game progress. I like his damage spells. (normal difficulty) It's just that there are so many talents, it's hard for me to make a decision considering I will probably play the game only 1 playtrought because I do not have the time to play more, so I'm trying to make the best out of my decisions.

I have not played the game for sometime already, due to special circumstance. I will now get back to it. Still unsure how to build Aloth - wich talent to select. I've made up my mind on Durance as per the previous messages, but after reading others forum Penetrating blast do not seem very popular. Any more advice from others players. Thanks.

So any more advice on Aloth Talent, I'm really hesitating on this one. I thought penetrating blast would be nice but seing there so many options I'm still unsure how to level him.

So what about penetrating blast ? Is it really Worth it since he already has blast ?

Any more advice on Aloth Talents ? Thanks

Any more advice for Aloth ? I like many opinions. Thanks again. I intend to use Aloth mainly as a ranged attacker with scepter or wand and casting spells. Are bonus spell talents Worth it ? Penetrating Blast since he has blast ? Thanks.

Very simple for me now with all your helps guys. As I'm level 3 Durance and need to get it to level 5, I will pick Inspiring radiance and interdiction most likely. If I decide to give him a sword or arequebuse I will give him inspired flame also. Thanks for all the help people, wonderful forum.

I guess inspiring radiance is really good as I see it in every of your build. Guess I'm gonna go safe and pick it first.

Thanks for the amazing reply, I will certainly refer to it. So basically it's better not to use the equipement he comes with ? lol... What about brillant radiance ? no good ?

So any clue about Talents I should select for Aloth and Durance ? I would mostly use Aloth as a main caster attacking from long range when he is not casting. For Durance, I currently gave him an arbalet, still unsure wich weapons he should use. My chanter NPC companion has an arquebuse I thought to give him but at the same time, I like my chanter to have an arquebuse when he's not using his two-hand weapons.

I posted in another forum section but an user recommanded me to post it here. The most importantts question for me is my first one, I'm very unsure how to build Aloth and Durance. 1) I'm unsure wich talents to give to Aloth and Durance. 2) Also, is it better to jail Nyrid or kill him ? My instinct was to kill him, but also because I do not have any jail built. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the replies people.

I'm unsure wich talents to give to Aloth and Durance. Also, is it better to jail Nyrid or kill him ? My instinct was to kill him, but also because I do not have any jail built. Also, is it better to complete the Raedric missions before completing chapter 1 ? I ventured into defiance bay before doin that Raedric quest. Thanks for the help.
