I just don't understand why you went sorcerer just for lightning spells when you could of gone 11 cleric 1 wizard and gotten the same results with better ASI and more cleric boons (and divine intervention which is situationally extraordinary)
Metamagic is cracked. Quickened spell means that you can use create water and a lightning spell in the same turn without relying on haste. And if you do have haste, you still get more casts of Call Lightning
Because you can go tempest cleric you can also use the philar sword, use shriek that does thunder damage, and its a finess weapon which means it will scale with your dex! So its a perfect weapon to use with this build if you want to add thunder damage to your weapon, lasts for 5 turns and comes back on a short rest, not bad honestly.
I’ve been really enjoying this build and I’m only lvl3, the reactions on this build are beautiful and do deadly damage at lvl3. I feel like I’m actually a threat.
I went 9 storm sorc 2 temp cleric 1 wizard. Dual wield is pretty fun with it cause i can bonus action melee with a lightning/thunder weapon to add more reverb xD dual wielding the staff and trident from act 3 give some oretty versitile dmg.

I’ve had way more fun (and maybe more powerful?) with a 1 wiz, 1 storm sorc, rest tempest build. I’m in early act 2 but have access to lightning bolt, call lightning, several heals, the haste spell, conjure minor elemental (2 ice mephets because their ice does double damage to my wet foes) and shovel. So much choice and variety while being really powerful.
@@PurgeEvilTV I never understood how to get full value out of that spell outside of the gimmick fights where you need to destroy illusions? What else is it great for?
Yes it is crazy. Yes it is OP ...and yes it is annoying and means you have to make all your enemies wet before you do anything so is action inneficient. I just do not like this playstyle
Is it really action inefficient if the first action is doubling the dmg of the second? sorc can also quicken cast creat water, or have an ally throw a water bottle leaving them with their second attack.
I'm going to be 100% honest I did this build and never made anybody wet and it's still pretty decent so you don't have to spend the time making them wet for the extra damage and you're still pretty strong you just don't get that op classification
The problem with sorcerer on honor mode is, that he is pretty much a one trick pony. I had to respec a few times for bosses and i did not like that. now i am going with 2 levels of tempest cleric and 10 evocation wizard and have every tool i need + max damage with every destruction spell + i can bomb destruction spells on myself and allies without a care in the world. i can also use Artistry of War at its full potential. There are so many fun spells in this game and i can swap them in and out how ever i want.
Witch Bolt is the worst spell in Pen and Paper dnd, its pretty alright in Bg3. In pen and paper, there is no built in wet condition or auto crit to turn the upcasted 10d12 into some absolute nightmare numbers. In pen and paper it has no real use, even True Strike has *a single use case.*
13:00 How does Destructive Wrath ensures, that charisma will not come in the way of Lightning Bolt? Is only increases the damage, no? Which you will waste when you miss the target because of low charisma..
Cool that you can multi class ,but taking storm cleric all the way to level 12 is probably better because you lose wayyyy too much HP and your character starts to become brittle to become a sorcerer.
Im confused. Im seeing mixed information as to what class to go first. People day sorcercer level 1, and then others say cleric first because you want your spells to scale off charisma modifier when you take sorc skills later.
Assuming you're doing 6 levels in each, here are the differences (both are proficient with Charisma saves, so no differences there): Sorcerer first: Proficiency in Constitution saves. After you take your first Cleric level, magic items and scrolls will scale off of Wisdom. Cleric first: Proficiency in Wisdom saves. After you take your first Sorcerer level, magic items and scrolls will scale off Charisma. Generally, people like going Sorcerer first because it makes it easier to maintain Concentration. Spells scale off of whichever class you got them from.
@@snakeman830 Thanks for this comment! Pretty much what snakeman said. The coding is weird in that way. I also believe the Cleric spells, especially while leveling, to be way more useful and aside from other reasons (there's quite a few tbh), that's why I focused on Wisdom
I went cleric first and low wisdom high charisma because I wanted to go with higher damage and better conversation skills. You lose proficiency in con saves which is a bummer but your sorcerer spells like lightning bolt, chromatic orb, and ray of frost will actually hit things. Sorcerer first and high wisdom is better for a defensive playstyle.
am I missing something or doesnt Storm Sorcerer get Call Lightning for free at level 6? maybe you really want that second Channel Divinity so sure why not but why put a whole 6 levels in Cleric to make Wisdom your main spellcasting ability when you could just do Charisma and have lightning bolt he strong too
Various reasons especially the channel divinity charge, but you wouldn’t be wrong for trying to focus on the sorcerer side. I however feel it’s better to focus on cleric considering clerics spells, the period in the game you’d be at when leveling, even into the late game I feel it’s more beneficial, too many reasons to try to lay out here. Also the coding of multiclassing taking the second classes main stat as priority is a big reason, and there’s no getting around that since we’d always want to start as sorcerer
