Dark Urge Evil run party composition!

[AomoriAkuma.exe]

Only just made it into act3 at level 7 and MAN was that last part of act 2 rough lol. i may be a bit underleveled, but Durge act 2 was no joke!

Im running Durge as an Assassin Rogue, Astarion thief rogue, Minthara Pally, Gale as respecced bard/oath breaker pally.

^^ this composition somehow felt just right for an evil run (:< so far, i have to say it has not disappointed. but im realizing quickly how important it is to understand all the game mechanics and synergies on this play through!! using my potions properly, applying toxins, buffing, etc etc etc.

never really had to think much or utilize my resources on the first run, so this is a whole new experience!!! (setting me up nicely for a challenging tactician run next)

anyway, just curious how some others set up their party for their evil playthrough! and what sort of experience youve had.

fantastic game here, hope everyone here is enjoying it as much as i!!

What Your main obstacles here are reduced exp and gear?

And why Gale is in the party? You should have his hand in inventory instead

Laz would fit better since she likes the violent solutions

My evil is always Minthara as paladin 7/warlock 5, Shadowheart tempest cleric/ sorcerer and Astarion Gloomstalker assasin

My main can be whatever I feel like: Monk, Bard, Sorcerer/ warlock , Sharpshooter fighter etc.

The default dark urge is sorcerer and as I lose wyll as the warlock , Sorcerer / warlock feels right in my team. High charisma , dark magic skills, utility and magic powers coming from my bloodline which is Bhaals family . Fits thematically as well.

i definitely rushed through a bit so yeah im struggling hard on act 3. having to cheese the game pretty hard to get through.

as for gale. honestly, as much as i wanted his hand(maybe useful for bhaal in act 3, and simply because im killing everything anyway); ive never run gales storyline through so i wanted to dive into it a bit. that and gale as an oathbreaker paladin is pretty badass.

on the subject of the rogue class. i still cant seem to decide between thief for the bonus action hiding, or assassin for the surprise crits. obviously its fairly situational, but with my current party comp, my assassin rogue isnt getting to utilize his full potential.

also gale as an oathbreaker is fun. but hes 100% useless trash in every fight lol. hes basically cannon fodder to hold agro while i position properly and look for tricks. minthara is an absolute unit though. holds it down.

(main tactic act3 as a level 7 has been to keep astarion ready to flee from any fight when and if necessary. then simply have withers res my party and jump back in. really cheesy way to beat the game..)

edit: and obviously ive stockpiled plenty of explosives for when the time comes and i must wreak absolute havok on all of baldurs gate.
