hmm. since i never end up using metamagic, im thinking it's strictly better to do 8 levels of storm sorcerer and 4 levels of tempest cleric?
#i feel like wrath of the storm (cleric L1) is better than storm's fury (sorcerer L11)?????#like ok you dont get the knockback but it's also not exclusively melee and can be thunder or lightning (not just thunder)#it *is* slightly lower damage (on average) and the damage is halved on a save (vs no decrease in damage). hm.#ok and by sorcerer 8 + cleric 4 i actually mean cleric 4 + sorcerer 8. gotta get charisma as my spellcasting ability#shame to lose CON saving throw proficiency but in re-speccing i took all my points out of DEX because ive got the DEX gloves#so more points to put elsewhere#idk we'll see how it plays! im at level 9 and just about to fight ketheric (at moonrise not the final boss). i'll see if it works#the only issue is that i now have 9 reactions so im gonna have to think about declining them sometimes lmao#i should only use psionic backlash if it's gonna activate cull the weak and ill always use war caster over opportunity attack#i dont care much about luck of the far realms or charm (just bought them to boost cull the weak)#it's mostly just having 2 reactions for each of wrath of the storm and heart of the storm#wrath of the storm is more powerful but heart of the storm is great for a big cull the weak chain reaction#it's all about cull the weak lmao. my entire strategy is grouping my enemies and hitting them with call lightning + cull the weak#if call lightning was an evocation spell id be tempted to replace 2 of the cleric levels with wizard to get sculpt spells#ANYWAY. im really enjoying storm sorcery can you tell#it took a while to get into it because early level spells arent as impressive and i never used metamagic#because you start with so few points per long rest it never felt right to use them#i still dont use them because i never got used to it but at least the rest of the class (or subclass specifically) is very fun#seriously as soon as i realised that you basically only have to spend one spell slot on call lightning per fight it was game over#sorry bhaal the slayer's cool and all but idk if i'll ever use it. give it lightning powers or something man#personal#ash plays bg3
