Best Subclass Tier list - Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3)

Here is a Tier List covering how I think Subclasses are ranked. This is subjective and based on my personal criteria:

  • The main idea is what the subclass brings to the table above the class.
  • I have included the subclasses I have tried, some of which are missing.
  • It is hard to rank some of them, as a few first levels may be valuable, while later ones are almost worthless.

These builds that you want to write, have ideas about selune paladin (multiclass cleric of selune and paladin)?

Hey! I am somewhat against multiclass of Cleric and Paladin. These classes both rely on different abilities so you would be spreading thin your points.

Also a question is what you want to reach by multiclassing both of these? Maybe it could be done with a better setup :)

Is more a question of roleplay, but i wonder if it's possible to improved the cleric of selune with divine smite, extra attack, longsword and greatsword

Hmm, you can try to go 5 Cleric/7 Paladin or 7 Cleric/5 Paladin. 7 Paladin depends if you are oathbreaker/oath of the ancients and want the auras.

The 7 Cleric setup will have more spellslots. Overall, you will be split between 3 ability points - str/dex, charisma and wisdom

What do you think about the jack of all trades? Intend to test?

Hey! hard to say to be honest, there are still many builds left to write about, and some of the current ones really need a rewrite, so its low in priority list :/

Wow, you're really into this. I don't blame you, there's a lot of content to explore.

Cheers!
