All Baldur s Gate 3 Barbarian Subclasses Ranked

Players can start getting the Chain Mail Armour +1 from Merchants by the time they get to much higher levels in the game. This Armour is likely the cheaper choice by the time shops also have the Plate Armour in their possession, making it a more frugal shopping opt

Karlach : Best suited for the Berserker subclass, Karlach is capable of dealing some of the most consistent, highest-hitting melee attacks on her own, and with two supports you won't be at a loss for HP or dispels
The Githyanki give Warlocks an improved Mage Hand from level 1, the ability to improve party member's Jump distance at Level 3, and the Misty Step skill at Level 5 – three extremely useful abilities. Githyanki also give Warlocks armor proficiencies the class wouldn't normally have access to, namely light and medium armor, to further improve their defensive capabilities.

The Githyanki are a powerful race option for a number of classes thanks to its powerful racial spells granted at levels one, three, and five, as well as the Astral Knowledge ability. Astral Knowledge grants the Warlock proficiency in one ability's related skills, which pairs extremely well with the Warlock's innately high Charisma.

If you're aiming for a ranged Ranger build, you'll want to pick up some of the powerful ranged weapons the game has to offer. Early on, your best longbow options are the Spellthief, Joltshooter, or Titanstring Bow (the latter is only useful if you have high strength too, but it can deal incredible damage if you do.) Your best early shortbow options are the Hunting Shortbow, Bow of the Banshee, or Darkfire Shortbow.

Players can get excellent results by mixing in the Acid Damage equipment, beginning with the Caustic Band sold in the Myconid Colony in Act 1, which adds 2 Acid damage to all weapon damage dealt by the wearer. This is a small but helpful addition that becomes much more dangerous when paired with the Ichorous Gloves (Act 2, Stashed in the Storeroom at The Waning Moon) to apply the Noxious Fumes condition. This condition causes creatures within 3m of the target to take 1d4 acid damage. Add Varsh Ko'kuu's Boots (Act 1, Githyanki Creche) to gain resistance to Acid and immunity to acid surfaces.

The Wild Magic Barbarian rolls on a different Wild Magic Table to the Sorcerer, with a different set of effects that are, as a whole, consistently beneficial to the Barbarian and their allies. Here's a complete list of Wild Magic effects available to the Barbarian:

At level six, a Goolock gains the ability "Entropic Ward," allowing them to impose a disadvantage on an incoming attack as a reaction. Should that attack miss, they then gain an advantage on their next attack against the failed attacker. This can be used once per short rest.

For defensive options, players should pick up the Cloak of Displacement from Entharl Danthelon in Wyrm's Crossing and the Boots of Persistence from Dammon in the Lower City (assuming he survived until Act 3.) The former gives enemies disadvantage on attack rolls against the wearer until the first time the wearer takes damage on each turn. The latter provides permanent Freedom of Movement (same as the spell), Longstrider (same as the spell), and a +1 bonus to Dexterity saving throws. The "Legacy of the Masters" gloves are also sold by Dammon during Act 3, offering +2 to attack rolls and damage with all weapons. Picking these up can make any martial character more effective , so they're worth grabbing if Dammon is alive.

Elemental Damage sets are also quite effective on a Giant Barbarian due to their Elemental Cleaver ability, with the Gloves of Belligerent Skies and/or Boots of Stormy Clamour being a particularly valuable option if you favor thunder or lightning damage. You could also equip Winter's Clutches, the Snowburst Ring, and/or the Coldbrim Hat to freeze your foes solid. Another option is to utilize the Thermoarcanic Gloves, Cinder Shoes, and Ring of Self Immolation in a heat setup, and throw on the Cindermoth Cloak to burn enemies that damage you.

Spore Druids can make excellent use of any staff that has added damage, such as the Gold Wyrmling Staff (Act 1, Sold by Roah Moonglow at the Goblin Camp) or the Cacophony Staff (Act 1, Sold by Lady Esther at the Rosymorn Monastery Trail) since the bonus damage will stack with the necrotic damage from Symbiotic Entity. When paired with the Shillelagh spell these staves can dish out a surprising amount of damage while scaling entirely off the Druid's Wisdom. This can be further boosted using the Polearm Master Feat.
