Poison explosion wands are absurd early game, and late game water + electricity transform into a range stunner as if youre firing an electric discharge with every attack. They come pre-charged with an additional powerful skill that the player can invoke 1-4.

Pheonix Dive + The Pawn + Elemental Affinity lets me teleport almost anywhere on the field, summon fire surfaces, move into those fire surfaces (for free), and now be able to cast fire abilities for a point less. Wands are brand new one-handed ranged weapons dealing elemental damage. You can do much more damage with wands because you can actually attack from range and with staves the ability that you get with em is just not worth it, i don't see any benefit from equiping a staff instead of 2 wands, nothing. Think the drained ones are just vendor trash.

The name didn't change to drained wand though. Also she only did it after I drained it completely myself. Battle Stomp can do the same, knock down enemies, and clear away unwanted surfaces. She only recharged a wand I found that already had charges and was labeled purging wand. Whirlwind can drop a huge fire AoE around my pyromancer, without damaging anyone friendly. I'm not playing any sort of hybrid either, as the warfare/scoundrel abilities all convert to use intellect and scale with your 'mage' abilities like pyro.īy putting a couple of points into those abilities you lose a small percentage of your damage, and you'll need to put a few more points into memory to really make use of the added abilities (and take the accompanying int loss). But how are wands better? I keep seeing people claiming this as if it's just common knowledge, but I don't see any reason why that is the case. Divinity: Original Sin 2 adds plenty of interesting wrinkles to the western-RPG formula, and one of those wrinkles is the ability to combine two skill books and create an entirely new ability.
