Baldur's Gate III | BEST Warlock Spells (All Levels)

in this balder's guide 3 video series I am going to take a look at each and every one of the class spell lists and discuss which spells I think are worth considering and those I would personally pick at each and every character level today we're looking at the warlock spell list now with that out of the way let's get nerdy the Warlock is a spontaneous Caster meaning that every time you level up you get to choose a number of spells available at that level however the Warlock uses a different spellcasting mechanic which is called packed Magic this limits the amount of spell slots available to the Warlock and also means that they upcast their spells to the highest possible level for their character for example a 9th level warlock will only have two spell slots but each and every spell cost with those spell slots will be up cost to fifth level furthermore warlocks also regain their spell slots at a short rest as well as has the ability to augment a spellcasting using Eldridge invocations granting them spells that they can cast at will or also spells they can cast once a day without expending a spell slot at level 1 in character creation warlocks can pick up two different cantrips and there are seven different cantrips that can be chosen from for the first of these cane trips it's a pretty no-brainer it's the best can trip in the game and that's going to be Eldridge blast this provides the Warlock with a go-to damage dealing option preserving their spell slots for when they are really needed secondly I would say pick up a utility type of cantrip that is used outside of battle there are a number of really good choices here friends Mage and or minor illusion each that have their own place in the game as well as use case this option will just depend on how you play the game probably going to be picking up each of these as we go through but for now I'm gonna be picking up minor illusion at level 1 you're also going to be choosing your subclass or Patron there are three different options here being the Fiend The Great old one and the archway something worth noting is that each one of these subclasses have expanded spell lists based on your selection for this video I won't be going into a huge amount of detail on the Spells available for each one of the patrons but it's worth investigating and doing some research before you choose your subclass for this warlock character I'm just going to be selecting the fiend which gives me access to the armor of agathis and arms hoverdar spells after choosing your Surplus you get to pick up two different level one spells except for the two spells that come with the subclass selected a couple of really great options here are burning hands command hex and protection from Good and Evil for my warlock character though I am going to be picking up armor of agathis as well as the Warlock iconic Hicks in my opinion these are the two spells you're going to get the most mileage out of because all of agathis you cast once a day and it lasts for the entire day and it also upcasts quite nicely whereas Hicks stays active after casting as long as you maintain concentration and if the enemy that is hex dies you're able to move that hex to another combatant using a bonus action and without expending another spell slot at level 2 we get to choose another level 1 spell for my choice I'm going to go with arms of Hadar which is quite useful when you are being swarmed by enemies and you need to get the hell out of Dodge as it removes the opponent's reactions and essentially disables them from making opportunity attacks against you at level 3 we get access to level 2 spells again there are a couple of really nice options here like blindness cloud of daggers crown of Madness invisibility mirror image and scorching Ray and this option is really going to depend on how you plan on playing your warlock character is your warlock going to be mixing it up in melee combat in the front line is it more of a blasting character standing in the back which should be taken into consideration when picking your spell at level 3. for my warlock I will be picking up scorching Rey because it's one of the better upcastable spells out there at level 4 we get to choose another can trip and for this one I'm going to pick up friends giving my warlock a little bit of utility in Social conversation and we also get to choose another level 2 spells and this time I'm going to be picking up a cloud of daggers at level 5 warlocks gain access to pick level 3 spells a substantial boost to their spell casting ability again there are a number of really good level 3 spells I would probably say the best ones in my opinion are counter spell Fireball hunger of Hadar hypnotic pattern and vampiric touch again choose the one that works the best with your build but for me personally I am gonna go with Hunger of Hadar hunger is a warlock exclusive spell and I just can't pass up the opportunity to make my warlock as warlocky as possible despite sometimes not maybe being the most optimal choice right on to level six and at level six I'm going to be picking up another level 3 spell and this is going to be counter spell as in this point of the game you are going to be encountering some fairly powerful Mages and that's why I always make sure that at least one or two of my party members have counter spell prepared at level 7 a number of level 4 spells are available to pick up and your options will vary based on the subclass of warlock you chose nonetheless all warlocks get access to banishment blight and dimension door whereas the themed warlock has access to Walla Fire and Fire Shield the great old one warlock has the option to pick up dominate beast and evart's black tentacles which is a great spell and the archway the option to pick up dominate Beast or great invisibility for my warlock I'm actually going to go down a level and pick up a spell that I wanted to get a couple of levels back and that's going to be the iconic Fireball at level 8 we get to pick another spell and again I'm going to go down a couple of levels and pick up Misty step if you've already been able to access Misty step via a spell scroll or an in-game item then banishment might be a good option here as well as wallify if that is available to your warlock with evart's black tentacles being a must pick if you want to play into that warlock class fantasy at level 9 warlocks get access to level 5 spells or spell being hold monster with the other two spell options depending on your subclass of choice the fiend warlock also gets to choose from cone of cold and Flame strike whereas the great old one warlock gets dominate person and telekinesis whereas the archway also gets to choose from dominate person and seeming for my fiend warlock I'm just gonna go with the default Choice the ever powerful hold monster at level 10 we get to choose another can trip and I'm just gonna go with bone providing a little bit of additional utility when not casting Eldridge blast and we also get to choose another level spell and now I'm going to grab banishment at level 11 we also get to choose the warlock's Mystic Arcanum this lets you choose from a level 6 spell which you can cast without expending a spell slot and this is refreshed when you take a long rest there are five level six spells you can choose from and for my selection I'm going to go with I bite warlocks also get to pick up one more level spell at level 11 and even though it's fallen off a little bit in terms of the damage that it can deal it does still provide a level of Battlefield control and that's going to be wall of fire last but not least at level 12 we get to choose one more spell and this might sound like a curious choice for your final spell but I'm going to be picking up vampiric touch so whenever I'm in a position and I just need to get some hit points I can use vampiric Touch obviously being upcaster to fifth level and maybe just buy enough time to get the hell out of the way and there you have it folks thank you so much for watching if you enjoyed the content whatsoever please leave me a like and
