I still really wish that we'd gotten Aberrant Mind Sorcerers, just so that we could say about the whole tadpole situation, "Ugh, this again?"

[Leo-cumv]

I played my run with a storm sorcerer MC, just get some kind of ritual casting early on and you can spam this flying all the tine, its great

[SwedePotato]

I should’ve gone storm sorcerer. That looks like so much fun.

Grab 2 levels in warlock to get eldritch invocations, take fiendish vigor, grab one level in storm scocerer, and boom, infinite flight. Any time you wanna get anywhere just cast false life for free and fly off

[Razkain]

If you're not shouting out poems about your sorcery, are you even playing a Storm-based class?

[camerongooch]

Couple storm sorcerer with the game mechanic of create water, or have legal/ karlach carry water barrels. Storm sorcerer has the highest damage potential of any magic caster. Also most enemies aren't lightning resistant. High mobility from fly they are insane. Start with 1 level in tempest cleric for heavy armour proficiency and they're ate broken

[Vivi-ljzt]

Fun thing to do is multiclass into warlock and get a free cast eldritch invocation (like false life) that way you get free flight (kinda)

Storm from X-Men is my favorite fictional character ever!!! Currently playing 3 levels into Warlock and I'm putting the rest into Storm Sorcerer

[alexjohnson]

It doesn’t provoke opportunity which is underrated imo. At higher levels you can essentially bully large groups of people with AOE or control magic and you’ll always be just out of reach. Not to mention one level in any class with armor proficiency makes you incredibly hard to kill.
My personal favorite combo is quickened False life or Fire ball then flying away and dumping a Lightning Bolt or hypnotize the enemy

[Firestar]

Really would love to see what modders could bring to BG3
Bring in the handbook materials, the spin-offs, homebrews, etc

[belakthrillby]

I KNEW it was inspired by Storm from X-Men. If you choose the Storm Sorcery subclass the default Sorceror robe gets colored Black and Gold which seemed like a clear reference to her. This video confirms it!

[mariosblago]

In theory, cool concept. In practice, it was stupid and I had to respec. Flight is really weak in BG3. It works like a worse teleport / better jump. Flight could and should be much less restrictive outside of combat. If flight was a stronger advantage, it would be more valuable.

Also, not worth adding a whole subclass for storm Sorc when Draconic bloodline Sorc can do the same thing better.

That doesn't mean, go buff Storm's damage or something... but definitely redesign flight for the next game.

[reagenlionel]

Thing is, it wears off really quickly, and it still uses your movement the whole way. Not even considering you have to use a spell slot just to trigger it. Which is usually just wasted in exploration with how fast Tempest Flight wears off. So it's not actually that practical. Especially when you're playing with others, cause turning to turn mode for exploration (which is the only way you get any use out of that) is disruptive.

Whaaat!?! I'm a storm sorcerer and had no idea I could do that

[cardheon]

Soooothey can fly... druids can turn into a dire raven. You can also just learn to fly by becoming part illithid

[flyingpaladin]

I miss Teleportation from Original Sin 2

[Just_som_Ottur]

Some of the Sorcerer’s Metamagic options costs too many points now, and a lot of spells like Mirror Image or Polymorph have been completely screwed over… Druids don’t even get Conjure Animals…

Not detracting from the game, but for those curious, Maritals or PallyLocks are now the way it seems.

[zachthecool]

Making a dark urge githyanki storm sorceress3/tempest cleric 2 it is legit highest dps Canon woth twin spelled chromatic orb o have seen yet

[degreeskelvin]

Storm sorcerer doesn't seem stronger than a lightning/thunder draconic bloodline sorcerer. They _actually_ get fly at level at later levels
