There are no perfect parties, but there are terrible ones. Mine was such. I realized this thanks to you.

[jameshill]

I generally like to have one "pure" physical character, one "pure" magic character, and two hybrids. It's not perfectly optimized, but you're prepared for anything. You have three people that can attack each enemy's lowest armor type, every time.

[zhelyazkogrudov]

i just started playing yesterday, using your guides. good to see you posting more :)

To summarize the video:

1.) Do roughly 50% of both physical and magical damage to avoid being stuck in the game.

2.) DOS2 favors ranged combat, so only have 1 melee character at most, especially if other characters like to use AoE damage.
2.a.) Use your melee character to protect your other ranged characters, and he also won't be in your allies' AoE attacks.

3.) Summoning is a must-have skill for any build, since it gives an additional ally and does not rely on other stat boosts to be effective.

4.) Synergize Earth with Fire, and Water with Electricity if you use two or more magical spell types. However, Fire + Electricity and Water + Earth don't conflict, so those combos can work too.

5.) Ideal party setup (4-man):
a.) Juggernaut / Eternal Warrior build
b.) Ranger with Summoner skill and elemental arrows
c.) Tectonic Mage
d.) Crystalline Cleric

*Bonus:* Lone-Wolf builds (Solo or Duo) typically have Summoner Skill, but the ideal build is up for debate. I suggest 1 character with Summoner, Pyro, and Geo; the other character will have Summoner as well, but with Hydro and Aero. Both characters should also use a shield and wand(s). Matter of fact, it should be easy to invest into every skill up to 2 points so you can function like a Druid though, having two characters who can use both physical and magic damage, especially with a shield that uses a wand or a one-handed weapon.

*2nd bonus:* Do _NOT_ fret about race. Pick whatever you want, everyone can do everything well enough, the racial bonuses are just nice little buffs but aren't game-changing.

Summoner + Ranger is my go to. It's just so good regardless of the party you take. It's a one-man army once you get things going.

Hi mate, Just started playing DSO2. Thank you for making this guide. internet has completly changed the how we access information. For someone like yourself to take teh time to understand the game, strategize and put together your recomendation, it takes effort and talent. I appreciate you doing that for us all. Keep it up!

[danu]

DoS:II was on sale today so finally pulled the trigger, have been eyeing this game for a while. Your videos have been very helpful so far thanks!

[derekwhite]

I just recently got DOS 2 and was having a hard time figuring out how should build my party and then it happened I found fextra. This channel has help me out alot with build and just getting better at DOS 2. So much that I've started my first playthrough on tactical let's just say it's been very hard but well worth it.

[Maximum]

our best party ( a friend and mine) did 4 physical characters and it was our best party till then. Its extremly effectiv but there are 2 or 3 fights that might be annoying to that party but still. Its incredibly effectiv till the end. I love it. I think we had a ranger, necromancer, assassin and a warrior .

[chandk]

So the only character I have that is synergizing with the other 3 is my ranger.... everyone else is doing their own thing or hitting each other. That's just wonderful.

[salsaman]

It's also good to give your ranger the teleport ability. Combined with range increasing buffs, it is perfect for moving other party members, enemies around the battlefield.
You don't mention rogues, but at higher levels they be incredibly useful, e.g. backstab to jump into combat, followed by sleeping arms / gag order, then cloak and dagger to jump back out (+adrenaline if they need more AP). Or cast chloroform to nuke the target's magic armour, then a charm type spell.

[stevenmcqueen]

I found rogue to be insanely op with basically endless cc. with backstab can break armor in usually 1-2 hits and adrenaline plus skin graft is nuts, not to mention if you are playing it as fane for time warp or as an elf for flesh sacrifice and you get the warfare talent 2 ap on first kill of the turn you get like an free whole extra turn within the turn lol

[Enggar-gysb]

I just played this game recently and i am just in LOVE with this game, thx for still uploading the guides man, helps a lot.

[TheJordanPayne]

My current party is:

Battlemage focusing on summoner (red prince)
Shadowblade focusing on polymorph (sebille)
Ranger (ifan)
Geo-Hydro enchanter (lohse)


And it’s honestly been a pretty decent build so far. Currently hit act 3 and am wading through the nameless isle. Excited to see where it goes.

Definitely doing lone wolf Fane X Beast next since i didnt get to see their stories unfold

[nicholastaylor]

I've been thinking about finally making the time to play this game, even though I'm super late to the party, and this video was exactly the push I needed! Can't wait to try these

[ekam]

Physical damage is the way to go imo, because it scales with the 3 main stats, Strength=knight or brawler, intelligence=Necromancer and finesse= rogue or ranger, in this way you can also equip most of your party with the best gear for each stat with no competition, and virtually any necromancer, warfare, scoundrel or range spell has AoE friendly damage

[TheJCghost]

U dont know how badass u are for making a new video on this game ive literarly started playing this amazing game 2 weeks ago absolutley love it and ive looked at so many of ur build guides.

Ive almost made a spreadsheet over your videoes to try to understand the games build composition and synergy. Thank you so much for this video❤️

[firsttenor]

I found so much difficulty with this game in the beginning... but I'm finally enjoying it! It's like a non-stop chess game with a constantly changing board. It's definitely becoming one of my favorite games.

[IndyMotoRider]

Have had the Definitive Edition on my PC for almost a year and just now getting around to playing it (was hooked on another game). These guides and builds are excellent. Subbed.
