In the game, the storm sorcerer build focuses on dealing lightning and thunder damage while staying agile in combat. It's like creating a storm of engagement! ⚡🌪️

Introduction

Hello and welcome back to another Baldur's Gate 3 build video! In this video, I'll be going over my Storm Sorcerer build. This versatile AOE Caster build focuses on dealing lightning and thunder damage while keeping agile throughout combat.

Class Levels and Ability Scores

I'll be starting with the class levels and then we'll move on to the gear to look out for throughout the game. Firstly, we'll look at the recommended ability score spread for the build.

Ability Score	Recommended Spread
Charisma	Good
Constitution	Good
Dexterity	Decent for initiative
Intelligence	Decent for wizard levels

At level one, we start as a tempest domain cleric, granting us the Wrath of the Storm passive and heavy armor and weapon proficiencies. We then multiclass into storm sorcery at level two, gaining the tempestuous magic passive to reposition in combat.

Spells and Feats

At levels three and four, we acquire sorcerer metamagic and gain our first feat. My recommendations for feats include ASI for Charisma, Dual Wielder for dual wield weapon bonuses, Elemental Adept for lightning damage, and War Caster for maintaining concentration on our spells.

Multiclassing and Items

At level 8, we circle back to cleric to acquire Channel Divinity destructive wrath, and at level 9, we multiclass into wizard for spell scribing. Finally, two more points in sorcerer for the build's cap. Now, moving on to the items to look out for throughout the game.

Items to Look Out For

Here's a summary of the items you want to look out for throughout the game.

Act	Items
Act One	Spell sparkler, Warped headband of intellect, Callis glow ring
Act Two	Infernal Rapier, Dark fire short bow, The Amulet of the Harpers
Act Three	The staff with the name, Von's walking Fortress, The Amulet of Greater Health

These items will greatly enhance your storm sorcerer build.
