Hello everyone. I recently finished playing cleric/mage as a PC in BG: EE on the easiest difficulty and it was terrible!
Problems:
1. It takes ages to cast a spell; 2. long downtime between spells; 3. All enemies in important battles are magic resistant.
So I played my PC mainly as a buffer which was very inefficient. I started playing a caster with the idea of providing efficient crowd control but instead I was just useless. Vampiric touch spell did 18 damage per cast while a fighters in my group did over 20 in a single hit (max dmg roll on easiest difficulty).
Please teach me how to play casters correctly!
