Dear Wizard haters; Wizard is not the weakest class.

You are wrong. Stop being wrong. Stop spam posting about being wrong. Wizards are just as viable as Sorcerers, Warlocks, Paladins, Fighters, Barbarians and Rangers.

They might even be in the top 3 with Warlock and Sorcerer for highest burst with the gauntlets being bugged.

Wizards are just stronger versions of Sorcerers. What idiot is saying they're bad but sorcerer is good?

*Wizards are just weaker versions of Sorcerers.

Lets not get our wires crossed. Quicken Spell just makes them an entire spell cast better per turn. They also start doing huge damage from level 6 whereas Wizards need to wait till level 10.

wizard=swiss army knife

Sorcerer= scalpel

Sure the sorc is a great specialist but outside of that one specialization they fall off pretty fast. The wizard's strength is being able to swap in the right spell for the job and they are VERY good at that.

Yeah wizards having basically every ritual spell at no cost is pretty nice. Technically sorcerer is generally better in raw power, but I like getting to try out all the spells and think it's well worth the tradeoff.

Also some of the schools are kinda busted

Sorcerers tend to have OP burst cause they can stack eveything into scorching ray and with the items in game they can easily do 2k damage a round. With elemental adept you can ignore resistance and if you even get fire immune enemies you can just put vulnerability on them and ignore that. There isnt really a reason to go wizard over sorcerer in BG3.

Best of both worlds, pick wizard and sorcerer. Technically, just one level of wizard to learn spells from scrolls, 2 of tempest cleric for divine, and 9 storm sorcerer to drop chain lightning/ chromatic orb nukes. Depends on if you need single target or group damage.

The correct gear can make this a S tier build since you can learn any scroll as a spell, even level 6 despite not being a level 11 sorcerer to unlock it.

I think judging classes based on how they perform with bugged/unintentionally strong mechanics doesn't make sense. If that's how you're judging classes, then its a decision between 1 shots and 1 shots, and 1 shot and 1 shot kill in 1 shot.

I'd be surprised if there's a class that doesn't have a way to 1 shot enemies when they've got 4 actions (idk what gave the 3rd to be fair but I'm betting its not wizard specific) and the best possible magic items.

[Chaosolous]

I don't hate Wizards, but I did respec Gale to be a Sorcerer.

Is there even a "weakest" class objectively?

Or is it just the class you personally don't know how to use properly.

Tempest Cleric 2/Divination Wizard 2/Sorcerer 8 is pretty legit.

Sorcerors are actually much weaker than wizards.
BOTH NEED TO BE BUFFED THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE HERE.

When my plain old fighter is solo killing bosses... in 1 round... with 8-10 attacks.... I know wizards and sorcerors are under powered.

no wizard or sorceror is going to deal out that much damage in 1 round.

There is nothing good about picking a sorceror or wizard. You can basically kill people faster with a fighter. My entire 200+ hours of gameplay my 2 fighters have been really doing it all.
My other 2 companions are wizard and sorceror.

They simply are too weak their spells do not do enough damage and this is WITH ABUSING HASTE TO CAST MORE SPELLS. Don't matter.

The damage sucks.

Also fighters get all kinds of control abilities as well like stun, daze, bleed, gaping wounds, off balance... etc. Never mind the magic spells they get on items.

Never mind that fighters can still use scrolls..... like wtf....

Casters basically suck in this game.

They need to buff them. Its not 1 caster its ALL of them. They got nothing over a martial class like a plain old fighter.. or the others.

i think most people would say Monk and i can see why. I love that class but staffs dont do much dmg at all and fist only isnt enough. I will start another monk however in my next multiplayer playthrough, since i know the game a little better my mind could change abou that. But monk seems slept on actually, like they dont get much loot for them.

[Crom]

Just put more points into Strenght? Problem solved?

[zombygunner]

WOTR did monk good Kingmaker did it even better, baldurs gate 3 not so much lol oh well at least i can have a green beard. Strong wizards cast fist after all
