✎ Abilities Setups

Rain synergy:

Stunned can stack with Wet or Chilled, use this combination depends on the situation:

• Once enemies are stunned, you can recast Rain with scrolls or Water Balloon:
  

  Stunned (-15% Air) + Wet (-20% Air) = -35% Air Resistance
  Spike Damage for Air attacks.

  
  
• Once enemies are stunned, you can chill them with your Hydro spells. So that next round they will get Frozen when Wet from Rain reapplying again:
  

  Stunned (-15% Air) + Chilled (-10% Air, -20% Water) = -25% Air Resistance, -20% Water
  Good for CC chaining enemies

Early Game (1~8)

Mid Game (9~16)

• Fortify & Frost Armour Scrolls: Starting from Act 2 , you will be seeing Fortify or Armour of Frost scrolls inside shops, buy them. They are cheap, this way you don't have to add Fortify or Frost Armour in your loadout. Stack up Peace of Mind and Haste to if you you run into them.

• Thunderstorm: great control attack with massive aoe range. It will strike up to 5-6 times at enemies who is inside the Storm and it lasts 3 turns.
  
  
• Hail Storm: a powerful 3 source point spell that deals massive burst damage as water elemental, raining total of 20 shards. Each apply Chilled status so even if affected enemies are not dead, they are definitely going to be Frozen.

• Terrify: Skill granted by Inner Demon. Can be used as an anti-armour attack, it deals raw amount of magic damage for a single target so it won't be held back by elemental resistances. Because of this, Terrify is ideal for destroying enemy magic armour but it does not damage HP. It also apply Terrified on target, which makes them running around mindlessly in 2 turns.

I got an advice for 4x enchanter there https://fextralife.com/divinity-original-sin-2-builds-elusive-enchanter-mage/

[seyferseed]

Is there Enchancer build for 4x party? and why not add a Glass Cannon for a party build?

[Kaivysaur]

I wanted to play this build, not solo, but with friends in a party of 4, what would you recommend changing about this build (aside from not taking lone wolf)?

[Lost Sinner]

Amulet with a Mystical framed Flame Rune grants +1 Pyro, but if your gear already has a bonus in Pyro then you can use Power frame instead for +2/3 INT.

Just keep in mind this guide was made before DE changes in points cap, and i'm already moved on from the game. You'll have to tweak and relocate the build attributes & combat skills on your own.

[Saishan]

I was wondering. Imma doing this build on a run, and i see you're taking Haste and Peace of Mind without pyro skill point ? You just taking it with items skill level ?

[Fatty McBoomBoom]

@der_Oger

Definitive edition nerfed Lone Wolf by capping attributes to 40, However while a little different, this guide will still work.

Otherwise just download the Lone Wolf un-nerf mod

[der_Oger]

Hello, I try to follow the guide. But it seems I cannot increase the intelligence above 40. Is there something I have overseen? I am level 10 now.

[Ofyuff]

The 2 points of Necro is so you can pick up Death Wish, i believe

[Hedonist KIller]

what is the point of 2 points in necromancy on level 6?

[Ichiorochi]

I can't seem to find where polymorph is suppose to be used
