Since I don't usually put gameplay explanations in my builds because I don't usually find them necessary, I'll leave a comment about something important for maximizing your damage output with this build.
Make sure you either have an ally or quickened cast create water to make enemies vulnerable to lightning damage before your casts to be able to deal massive amounts of damage.

Edit: A comment taught me some new information that Clerics unlike most other classes actually do give their Heavy Armor Proficiency when multiclassed into, and as such I actually think the best way to do this setup is 1 Sorcerer -> 2 Cleric -> 5 Sorcerer -> Respec at level 9 -> 2 Cleric -> 1 Wizard -> 6 Sorcerer -> 1 Wizard -> 2 Sorcerer.
This gets us Constitution saving throw proficiency in the early game and charisma item spell save DC in the late game where those 2 passive features will be at their most useful.

Also for items I forgot since a comment reminded me:
Act 1:
- Staff of Arcane Blessing - Found in the hidden basement of the Mage Tower in the underdark. (Equip the guiding light ring to find it)

The way you organise the screen with all informative elements at the same time is flawless. Really nice channel, and calm explanations, keep it up !

[elemenopi]

i love the item breakdown per act, very important imho, great guide!

[shanewhite]

Duel wielding is an under Appreciated feat on sorcerer, and wizards having two Quarterstaves is so strong

[sharangcool]

the fallout editing and then the ship theme in divinity 2...mayne...the nostalgia!! the feels!

[TheVextor]

Divinity Original Sin 2 Theme <3, I love your videos by far my favorite guides. I have tried them all so far

[LusciniaRose]

I never knew that the most recent class choice determines the scribe spell's damage stat. Thank you so much.

[colinfrederick]

The fact that you, unlike 95% of bg3 channels, actually show the build at the top of the video ❤

[Jote_]

This guy’s edits are stupidly good for a build video

[Mfresh]

Excellent video man. Perfectly structured and so efficient. I chose this build for my first and current playthrough on console and I always revisit this video for tips. Your hard work is appreciated, thank you!

[yannasaito]

Your guides are easy to follow and has a really nice creative intro everytime, you're doing such great work man <3

[BingBangPoe]

I really like this guide format of yours. Straight to the point, with well organized infographics, and most of all, pretty short in duration.

[Philmoretotes]

I have fallen off this game and can’t seem to get myself to replay it again but I really enjoy the builds on this channel and the content is so entertaining it’s been awesome seeing your viewer base growing since the first video

[killjoy]

Also worth noting Water elemental creates a puddle on normal attacks and aoe attack when ice melts, I have it from Wyll from warlock passive, I assume the sorc can get it if they sculpt a scroll if specing into wizard. Tanky summon too with over 100hp, so if you have two casters with it, free water/wet status, damage, cc and somewhat tank. Upcasted to Water Myrmidon is even better, it's heal makes massive aoe water surfaces for 3 turns, and you can spam it so water will always be available. Good damage and cc still, plus Fly and misty step. Misty step to a whatever you want to make wet, use heal and voilà.

Edit: Believe you can get an elemental scroll from Sorcerous Sundries in Act 3 on a merchant, can refresh a merchants inventory on a rest if it's not there. That's if you didn't find one in act 1 or 2.

[SirPumpkinKnight]

I love these guides. Short, sweet, to the point, and mentioning where you get the items is greatly appreciated.

[kribberhaha]

Very well Organized easy too find the information you need! Much better than all the other videos i've seen where the comments does that part of the job!

[Hardymovies]

[davizim]
