Players of Original Sin 2 can get more concrete examples of these advantages in combat. Regardless of SLG game Units mode, players with characters that stick together almost always end up getting TPK'd. Instead, Original Sin 2 almost actively encourages players to split party members before combat so they start from the best vantage poi

This is perhaps the king of all the Geomancer skills . It costs three source points to use, but players will be glad they have. This ability causes multiple oil-filled rocks to fly from the player and hit every enemy within the thirteen-meter wide area of eff

Getting into the attacks, Hail Strike is one of the best the Hydrosophist tree has to offer. It causes three large balls of hail to rain from the sky and strike an area. It can hit multiple enemies if they are close together and sets the chilled status effect on t

Likewise, D&D players shouldn't forget to engage with NPCs even in combat. Calling their attention mid-battle to strike up a conversation can end combat immediately.

Living Wall is an interesting ability that is helpful in tight quarters with a lot of enemies. Take care of pathways by summoning this 13-meter long wall and preventing enemies from crossing it. This wall also emits poison which can hurt the enemies caught near

Undead characters like Fane aren't incredibly hardy. Normal healing spells and consumables will damage them; the only way they can heal is through poison. With this build, though, Fane can be responsible for not only his own survivability, but the rest of the party's as well. The Geomancer combat skill gives him plenty of poisoning opportunities to heal himself and harm enemies. It also includes spells like Fortify, letting Fane make the party's damage-dealers more durable. Meanwhile, Hydrosophist allows him to heal and support allies with skills like Restoration and Magic Ar

Dust Blast brings even more status effects for players to hurt enemies with. This ability unleashes a large blast of dirt that only affects enemies and causes them to go blind. The blinding effect from this ability lasts for two tu

These skills are focused on keeping the user away from the action. Tactical Retreat is especially important to learn as soon as possible, as it allows Fane to easily get to high ground and take advantage of the other skills key to this bu

As an Undead, Geomancer will always be one of the best skills for Fane to use. He will be damaged by normal healing potions and restorative spells; instead, the only way to heal him is through poison. In DOS2, Geomancer is the school that focuses on dealing poison damage. With every Combat Ability point invested in this school, Fane's Poison and Earth elemental attacks will deal 5% more damage. Not only will this increase his healing, but it will allow him to unleash devastating attacks upon foes. Poison will eat away at enemy Vitality, while Oil-based attacks will mire them in m
