I'm about to start my a trilogy run and I've decided to take a Berserker through BGEE and dual to either a cleric or druid in BGEE2. I'm very torn between these classes so I'm looking for some opinions.
I have done a comparison of both druid and cleric only spells and man are there some good ones on each side.
For the cleric we've got Sanctuary, Animate Dead, Holy Smite, Restoration, Raise Dead, Aerial Servant and Blade Barriers. And of course the three buff spells that make the cleric a melee powerhouse.
Druids have got Insect Plague, Iron Skins, Pixie Dust, Elemental Summoning and Nature's Beauty.
I know the druid spells seem a bit light but Insect Plague, Iron Skins, and Nature's Beauty seem to make up for any other shortcomings.
A big difference seems to come down to weapon choices. My Cleric would probably dual wield FoA and DoE while the druid will have Spectral Brand and Belm.
So many great options and I would really appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
And from an RP perspective which deities would you recommend? I'm thinking Tempus for the cleric and Nobanion for the druid. Both seem to offer fun RP options.
Also, I'm sitting on a 93 roll for a berserker so the stats to dual for a druid aren't a problem. I also know a ranger/cleric would solve all my problems but it feels a bit like cheating to me. Plus I want the Keep as my stronghold in BG2 so I wouldn't dual until after Nalia's quest.
Thanks in advance!
