Storm Sorcerer / Tempest Cleric Multiclass Build Guide: Baldur's Gate 3

One of the STRONGEST multiclasses in Baldur's Gate 3, the Storm Sorcerer and Tempest Cleric are a perfect match. There are a few different ways you can take this build, but here is my interpretation on the storm sorc tempest cleric multiclass after build testing it. I think that this It's so powerful because create water in Balder's Gate 3 is really easy to do compared to tabletop DnD 5e. Lightning damage and Thunder damage both get doubled whenever the target is wet and you can use things like mage hand to throw a water bottles or even just have your other teammates set you up to deal massive damage. This is one of the best Multiclasses in baldur's gate 3

BG3 is just unbelievable...there are so many different possibilities on whatever charachter type you want. UnFREAKINGbelievable...

Yeah having at least five levels of sorc on one of my party members is including in every single one of my teams. Twinned haste is the strongest thing you can possibly concentrate on as a support/caster in non honor mode runs. I wouldn’t worry about including it in honor mode though. It’s needed to what is in in d&d where the extra action point doesn’t benefit from extra attack. It’s still good there but it’s not the default strongest thing

For me i prefer draconic bloodline because you get your charisma's modifier to any spell that deal lightning damage (if you take a lineage like blue and you are at least lvl 6 sorc) and you get (if you don't play heavy armor) +3 AC and more hitpoint. You can also get lightning resistance with a sorc point.

This boost is like +5 to +7 damage without using a reaction when tempest gives you only 3 damage with reaction (so no cleric boost as it uses a reaction). The only good thing i think is the fly ability of the tempest but you get it with illithid so it's great only in early game. Tempest is also great lvl 11 with the passif but you need at least 2 lvl in tempest cleric to max damage so useless.

Also a better option than Chromatic Orb of lightning (if you use the cleric boost, higher level spell slot and SINGLE target) is the simple witch bolt as you get +12 damage per spell slot compared to + 8 damage per spell slot (so it's better at lvl 3+ spell slot --> 36 vs 32, even at lvl 2 --> 24 and worse at level 1 --> 12 vs 16).

I love Ice element and somehow Ice and thunder work so well together!!! I LOVE 💙🌀🐻‍❄️ your recommendations. ICE will always be the answer to everything 😂

The best piece of gear for this is easily the Markoheshkir. Using Kereskas Favor for lightning, you get a free use of Chain Lightning and a level 6 Lightning Bolt on a short rest, get your proficiency bonus added to lightning spells, and Arcane Battery gives you just a free spell each day, which can come in handy if you took a Wizard dip and learned Conjure Elemental to get a free Myrmidon.

Also, something of note, the Chain Lightning from Markoheshkir can still be twinned when it can't be from scrolls or knowing it anymore, letting you delete entire groups of enemies and even some tankier targets.

this is an AMAZING build guide jason thank you once again for making these great videos for us

Twin haste can be powerful, but it’s also dangerous as you risk two characters losing their turn if the character casting loses their concentration, which can end a campaign. Honestly makes the case for putting war caster on if you have the feat OR drinking the elixir.

[OphanimAnthem]

I'm always missing a piece of armor when I use these builds:']. Also, your builds are glorious I'm always checking them out

[JayyooP]

Just going to throw this out there, witch bolt upscales better and deals more damage than chromatic orb at level 3 spell slots and above. At level 6 with chromatic orb dealing that 224 on wet + crit, witch bolt at level 6 deals 288 on wet + crit. Big damage, even more than lightning bolt for single target.

[IVISMiLESIVI]

Wanted to play an original character so I chose shadowheart and made her a call of lightning build since that spell is great and can be repeated for free. I have gale for haste and create water and lemme tell ya casting 2 free call of lightnings every turn with shadowheart is fun and stupidly good. She's my only need for crowd control. I wasn't sure what other class to multi into so sorcerer does seem like a good choice but I'll most likely switch your wisdom and charisma stats with eachother since call of lightning is my main focus.

[tiagozom]

if you pick chain lightning as a wizard, will you cast it using your Int ou charisma modifier?

[Magus]

When you pick cleric as a second class, doesn't your attack modifier become wisdom?

[tonymartos]

Damn you! I kid of course, but you keep coming up with builds I want to try. Now if only I can manage to win the lottery. So i can quit my job and play out all these play styles lol storm sorcery looks totally cool. I think for an evil dark urge playthrough it would fit quite well. Sort of like an Emperor Palpatine build.

[Emolilyx]

Is this build still good as gonna chnage minithara to this and who s better to have the amulet of devout the storm sorc / cleric or shadowheart whos a life cleric (shes just a backup thou😂)

[Jellysfrickingstuff]

The struggle. Chain lightning? Or 2 level cleric dip to get max damage

[chrisxcrozz]

can this build also work if you focus more on the cleric side on leveling up? maybe like 8 or 9 levels into cleric and the rest on sorcerer? im doing a melee/lightning caster on my run.

[BooshMasterOriginal]

I wanna use Shadowheart for this build. And I'm planning on equipping the Wavemother armor/weapon set along with the Spark armor/weapons.

Nothing like accidentally hitting a 144 Witch Bolt on a minion during a boss fight when the boss only had 104 Hp

[NorrisLeChuck]

Why not use a feat on Elemental Adept Lightning? As far as I understand, it removes Lightning resistance from enemies?

[Wibbity]

Great video, thinking about running 2 of them for my first honor mode attempt. Any thought’s on what my other two party members should be?
