So, yesterday i ended Pillars of Eternity as a glass cannon wizard. Great game! I immediately bought the sequel, but still cant decide which way should go. Of course, wizard is no brain option for me, because i love playing as a pure DPS caster, also want to stick to my story from first game. On the other hand, when i first saw Hiravias and his AOE spells like Blizzard or Returning Storm i felt jealous!!! That's when i realised how big DPS potencial is in druid class! When i read about multiclass in 2'nd game, i knew right away that this is a great opportunity to create a AOE monster, but is this really so? I read tons of similar posts about mage and his multiclass, and realised that opinions are mixed, mostly because is not worth to multiclass wizard because of his late game spells. After some digging, im pretty sure that Sorcerer (Fury Evoker) or Solo Wizard (Evoker) are classes that im gonna play...
BUT, FINAL QUESTION, which one is better as a pure DPS? Im prioritizing in order :
- AOE possibility damage
- Single target damage
- Crowd control potencial (much less, but still)
I totally don't care about survivability potencial, i will have other companions for that. Also, i guess it could be important, i will play at normal/hard (maybe?) level of difficulty. Thanks for any tips!
