Two Baldur's Gate 3 Classes Can Make Game-Breaking Armies, But You'll Regret Trying It

The customization options in offer an impressive number of unique playthroughs. Though the Artificer class is still sorely missed by players (who don't use a mod to add it into the game), the 12 class options leave plenty of powerful combinations at players' fingers.

Wizards that have read through the Necromancy of Thay tome also have the option to cast Danse Macabre, which summons four uncontrollable ghouls; adding an upcast of Animate Dead can also bring an army
