Divinity: Original Sin 2 Battlemage Class
DoS 2 features quite a selection of classes from which the players can choose from for their fight against the evil and Battlemage is one of them.
However, there are a lot of elements in play with a certain class and Battlemage has its own unique build, skills, attributes, and abilities and in this guide we will discuss the best Battlemage build, Battlemage skills, Battlemage attributes and more.
Battlemage Class Attributes
Strength
Strength has a value of +1 by default. Due to the fact that the Battlemage can fight enemies at short range, the added point in Strength allows you to have a bit more damage with conventional weapons and have a bit more Physical Armor for that extra oomph.
Intelligence
Intelligence also has a value of +1. Melee Weapons and Magic are both equally utilized by the Battlemage so this allows you to be effective in both. Additional Intelligence also increases your Magic Armor.
Constitution
Constitution has a value of +1 as well which will always come in handy.
Abilities and Talent
Warfare Ability
This gives you more melee damage and works well with the increased Strength.
Aerotheurge Ability
This provides you with Magical Armor piercing and weakness the enemy so you can finish them off with Melee Weapons.
Persuasion Ability
This provides you with better persuasion and dialogue skills.
Comeback Kid Talent
This does not allow you to die as long as you have +1 remaining HP.
Starting Abilities
Battering Ram
This Ability allows you to shorten the distance between you and the target. Everyone in the path of the charge is also knocked down and dealt damage.
Blinding Radiance
This Ability makes your character invisible to enemies and damages every nearby enemy with air.
Shocking Touch
This Ability enables you to stun an enemy who is within immediate distance of you. The stun effect also deals damage from the air.
Best Races for the Battlemage
The Elf race and the Human race has no predispositions on the Battlemage so they are not really optimal for this class. You can try them but it will probably be a waste of your time.
Dwarf has a moderate predisposition to this class and its passive bonus to strength is a really useful addition to your arsenal. However, the balance in using abilities will be slightly off when using this class.
Lizard is really good with a high predisposition towards the Battlemage. Although the class cannot be used to its full potential, the innate abilities of the Lizard will allow you to get the results that you need with the Battlemage.
