Also must be super careful around dispels such as Inquisitors who will remove stoneskin, mirror image, and ITMW. Must be super careful vs magic damage which can randomly burst him. Haer'dalis - Very difficult tank with lots of micro, hair trigger casting, and mastery of spell selection. Can only 4 star in axes or warhammers which is honestly fine even with dual wielding. Can dual-wield on Legacy difficult, using flail in off hand. Player char (Dwarf Defender) - Raw damage reduction. Korgan - Axes are awesome, high con, high saves, berserker kit is amazing, can ranged with +3 weapon. This means on LoB, high strength (which contributes to thaco) still isn't sufficient. Jaheira and Anomen and their infrequency in landing hits is another great example of how important thaco is. They were rolling 26s and still missing in part because of fatigue (due to haste) and they ended up only landing hits on natural 20s which taught me just how low ac gets on SoA and LoB. I learned the hard way when my party fatigues while fighting a golem in Nalia's keep that thaco and ac is actually a huge deal. The biggest disadvantage to multi and dual classes on LoB is thaco. For serious power gamers, the classic setup is a bunch of half orcs in varying degrees of multi-classes with a Sorceress or Edwin in there somewhere. I personally like the gnome cleric/rogue combo because even though it can't backstab in EE, it does fill two trash roles and frees up a slot for another pure mage or warrior. Also getting Demigorgon to run over traps or one shotting Melissan on Legacy is very very hard if not impossible with traps so at best they just burn one of his summons or her heal spells. Most people hate thief duals, especially because of trap cheese but honestly you can cheese the vanilla game with numerous strats and traps don't work on massive clusters of NPCs such as Sendai enclave or Sendai fight herself so I'm honestly unsure how much cheese it is. There is one combo I've never seen mentioned ever in any guide and it's the gnome cleric/rogue dual class. I recommend thief but there is a way around this. Your second mage can share a slot with another warrior, healer, or thief. Mage (support, disables groups, hastes party, summons mid game, wands and strongest vs bosses) Healer (support, heals late game, mostly support by buffing and curing party and summons early and mid game)
In clusters of enemies it's harder to keep your tank the closest and stray hits can occur on dual wielders.
Tank (absorb or prevent damage, aggro usually based on distance)ĭPS warrior (dual or 2handed) 2handed is superior on Legacy difficulty because aggro is based in part on distance and 2handers help keep DPS safe from massive hits. This strat is only limited by his access to scrolls at which point he takes off and surpasses most of the mages except maybe Edwin. The advantage is that Jan can use the simulacrum helm that normal mages cannot use (warrior and thief only, Nalia and Imoen excluded). Using Jan as a 2nd mage has a lot of drawbacks such as limited access to lvl 8 spells and never unlocking lvl 9 spells until extremely late in the game. I recently attempted Firkraag and he's so ridiculously rough prior to chapter 5 that I actually switched my strategy after about 15 reloads where my best attempt was about 40% and just went for instant kill strat with spell spam. It's hard to work in double mage which I highly recommend for Legacy mode where some bosses are so beefy that it takes forever to kill them without instant death spells. I made the mistake of doing an evil play through with Hexxat, a druid, and Viconia, and it was painful at some points with only 2 hitters (Korgan, Dorn).
So lets run down my opinion of comps that can beat Legacy difficulty because the vanilla game is to easy and can be completed with multiple comps.įirst of all, never do a double cleric/druid comp and avoid Aerie like the plague. Also people trash Jan but they don't know his secrets. For example, the triple mage setup struggles on Legacy setting where hitters are required to overcome high hp of numerous NPCs. Mainly you can focus on hitters, casters(mages) or a combination of the two. There are many combos that are pretty solid and it depends on what your objective and difficulty is.
