Baldurs Gate 3 is made in the genre of tactical strategy and RPG, where characters can move freely around the map. At the same time, the combat process itself takes place in a tactical mode, the heroes move within a certain area in turn. Players will have to assemble a good squad and go in search of answers related to the parasites that attacked our hero. Baldurs Gate 3 was developed by Larian Studios.

Baldurs Gate 3 has a slightly complicated character customization scheme. By choosing a character, starting from the class, you can choose a race for him. Or choose a character based on race, and then decide on the class. However, not all classes are ideal for the selected character of the corresponding race. Classes allow you to determine the tactics of combat operations, since each class has its own abilities. In terms of race, this is where the features of the character can be seen.

You can get acquainted with the class “Wizard” and its features. Eligible races for the “Wizard” class are listed with an analysis of the features. The first needed spells and tricks have been selected. The important and key characteristics that allow the “Wizard” to be effective in battles are listed. These points will help you quickly master the “Wizard” class and get positive pleasure from the game.

Features of the class “Wizard”, in the game Baldur Gate 3.

The class “Wizard” is considered the most magical character, as he has a very large assortment of spells. At the same time, the available spells have tremendous power capable of defeating most opponents. But, behind the significant priorities of knowledge, there are also disadvantages, where the “Wizard” class needs comrades in the first row. The fact is that it is difficult for the “Wizard” to be under the pressure of enemies in close combat, its main position is behind the backs of the allies.

It should be noted that the “Wizard” class is one of the most difficult classes to master. The player will have to make a difficult choice when customizing the character, and then select the appropriate spells from the list. To cast spells on the battlefield, they must first be prepared. The nice thing about spells is the ability to buy spells and add them to your spell book.

Pumping the characteristics of the “Wizard” class, in the game Baldur Gate 3.

It is very important, when distributing characteristics, to start with pumping “Intelligence”. Since “Intelligence” is a key characteristic of the “Wizard”. It is desirable, “Intelligence” to pump up to 17 points with race bonuses. Or bring it up to 15 skill points, and then select a suitable race, where there are bonuses to “Intelligence”. Thus, the “Wizard” will be a full-fledged character.

Secondary, in importance, characteristics will be “Agility” and “Endurance”. At the same time, “Agility” is better to do more than “Endurance” or distribute equally in 15 points. Despite the fact that the “Wizard” is designed to work with spells, the characteristics of “Agility” and Stamina” will be very important. Since they will increase the overall survivability of the character, “Stamina” will add health points, and “Dexterity” will allow you to more effectively attack with simple weapons in ranged combat.

All remaining characteristics can be safely thrown off to the minimum value. Such as “Strength”, “Wisdom” and “Charisma”. You can try to consider the characteristics of “Strength” and “Charisma” in order to balance the hero a little. “Strength” will allow you to carry items a little more, and “Charisma” will make it possible to buy goods cheaper. But, here you need to understand that a significant priority from the characteristics is obtained with a good investment of points. Therefore, it is desirable to allocate points only to key characteristics.

Pumping characteristics for advanced players.

At more advanced levels of the game, “Intelligence” can not be pumped, leave 9 points, and invest points in other characteristics. Stats such as “Strength” so that the character can fight more effectively in close combat. Nevertheless, the strongman from him is not very good, since he cannot take attacks from enemies for a long time. But, such an arrangement of pumping can be done. In this case, you will have to choose a race that gives an expanded arsenal of close-range weapons and suitable bonuses. For example, the Githyanki race, where there are bonuses to Strength +2 and Intelligence +1.

Yes, at the beginning of the game it will not be very pleasant to play, since the “Wizard” does not fully reveal its features. But, having reached the Ogre village, you can get the “Hoop of Intellect” item, which gives a bonus to the “Intelligence” characteristic and pumps up to 18 units. Thus, our character will be even better than when adjusting the characteristics in the standard way. But, at later levels, difficulties may arise, since it will not be possible to pump up to 20 Intelligence points. The “Hoop of Intellect” imposes restrictions on the further pumping of the characteristic.

Suitable spells and tricks at the start of the game, in the game Baldur Gate 3.

Already at the very beginning, for the “Wizard” you can and should decide on the spells and tricks used. There is something to choose from and from what there is, you need to choose the most effective ones. Thus, the class “Wizard” will not seem weak and boring.

Focuses.

At the very beginning, you can choose 3 tricks from the list. We suggest adopting “Fire Projectile” for dealing damage, “Light” (if the character does not have “Night Vision”), “Shock Touch”. The listed tricks to start the game should be enough.

Spells.

Of the 19 spells, you need to choose 6 pieces, which we will actively use in battles. The very first thing to take is Flaming Hands, False Life, Cloud of Mist, Magic Arrow, Thunder Wave, Witch Blast. “False Life” is not an offensive spell, it is intended to increase the character’s health, which is very important for the “Wizard”. Other spells are offensive and are chosen based on the nature of the class. That is, the magician must be a magician, and spells should cause damage to opponents.

To support allies, the Tyr Protection spell is suitable, which increases the harrow class by 2 units. Although not essential, nevertheless, the ally will last longer in melee battles. But, one should not forget about oneself, since close combat contacts are likely. To increase survivability in case of hand-to-hand combat, you need to use the Agathis Armor spell. “Armor of Agathis” will allow the character to increase 5 health points and deal 5 damage to the enemy when receiving damage from him.

The race for the class “Wizard”, in the game Baldur Gate 3.

When choosing a race for the “Wizard”, you need to take into account the “Intelligence” characteristic in order to increase the effectiveness of spells. Not superfluous will be races that make it possible to use additional types of weapons and wear armor. Since he is designed for ranged spell attacks and does not fight very well in close combat. At the same time, the race can balance the class “Wizard” by making it a little balanced.

Race “Dwarf”.

Who would have thought that the Dwarf race is one of the most suitable races for the Wizard class. When selected, you can get an increase in the key characteristic “Intelligence” +2 points. In addition, we get +1 “Dexterity” or + 1 point of “Stamina”, depending on the “Dwarf” sub-race. That is, for the “Deep Gnome” we get + 1 “Agility”, disguise and “Improved night vision. “Rock Gnome” gives a bonus to “Stamina” + 1 point and knowledge of the artisan. All gnomes have “Night Vision” and can see in the dark, which greatly facilitates the passage.

Of the shortcomings of the “Gnome” race for the “Wizard”, several points can be distinguished. There are no additional weapons and no bonus to wear armor. Because of this, it is not possible to make a more flexible character who could fight from spells and weapons. Playing the “Wizard” in the “Dwarf” race, you will definitely have to be behind the backs of the allies who take enemy damage.

Race “Elf”.

The “Elf” race will make it possible to make a multifunctional fighter out of the “Wizard”, who is able to work with spells, use long-range weapons and melee weapons. Of the weapons, ranged weapons are the most suitable, allowing you to keep opponents at a distance. It happens that enemy archers can be encountered, where it is comfortable to hit them with ranged weapons.

When choosing “High Elf”, you can get “Dexterity” + 2 points and “Intelligence” + 1 point, as well as “Night Vision”. When distributing stat points for the “Wizard”, you need to pay attention to “Intelligence”, “Stamina” and “Agility”. All other characteristics will not be so important, since the listed characteristics will allow you to use spells and attack enemies at a long distance.

Race “Half Elf”.

The Half Elf race is suitable for most classes, thanks to the ability to allocate additional attribute points. Where, in our case, you can put everything + 2 points into the “Intelligence” characteristic. Also, the character will be able to see at night, with the help of “Night Vision” and there is a bonus to “Charisma” + 2 points. “Charisma” to the “Wizard” is not very important for spells, but allows you to save money from the merchant. Under the races “Higher half elf” and “Half elf – drow” provide an opportunity to get an additional focus to choose from.

Race “Gityanki”.

Githyanki are great warriors who fight in the vastness of Baldur Gate. The “Wizard” class is suitable due to the bonus to “Intelligence” + 1 point. In addition, you can get + 2 points to “Strength”, the ability to wear medium armor and use melee weapons. The character, of course, will turn out to be very interesting, though he will not live long in close combat. But, thanks to medium armor, survivability is much greater than that of races without armor. And yet, since there is a bonus to “Strength”, the character will be able to carry more things.

When choosing the Githyanki race, you will have to think about the Strength characteristic and think about its further pumping. Thanks to “Strength”, “Wizard” will deal more damage and better attack with melee weapons. Thus, there will be several main characteristics, these are “Intelligence”, “Stamina”, “Strength” and “Agility”. As for “Agility”, it may not be needed, since the “Wizard” becomes a battle mage capable of fighting in close combat. Still, it’s possible that spell attacks will work much more often than melee weapons.

Race “Half Elf”.

Race “Tifling”.

The race “Tifling” is more suitable for the race “Tifling Asmodeus” and “Tifling Mephistopheles”, which allows you to get + 1 point to “Intelligence”. In addition, you can pump “Charisma” + 2 points, get “Night Vision” and “Infernal Resilience”. The “Charisma” parameter, for the “Wizard” is not very important in terms of increasing the effectiveness of spells. But by choosing Tiefling Asmodeus with Charisma +2, the hero gets the opportunity to improve prices from merchants by buying cheaper. The difference between the sub-races lies in the focuses they receive.

Human.

The human race is suitable for all classes, as it increases all characteristics by + 1 skill point. But, there will be no additional priorities, as it is the standard in the Baldur Gate 3 game. You can choose if you just want to play as a person. And so, not the best race for the “Wizard”. In addition, there is no Night Vision, which will make it a little difficult to play.

Conclusion on the class “Wizard”, in the game Baldur Gate 3.

Of course, unlike other classes, the “Wizard” has a variety of spells and you can choose the most suitable ones. But, another thing is in the use of spells, after the battle, the spells will need to be charged with the help of rest. For example, “Sorcerer” can charge spells right in battle. If you properly set up the character, choose the most suitable race and correctly apply spells, then the “Wizard” can be played with pleasure.
