With Patch 8, Larian brings 12 new subclasses to Baldur’s Gate 3. In a video series, the creators present their new content and explain what specializations can do. In the first video you can see the classes that will really knock in.
What kind of new classes are these?
Larian now shows that: With a “guide” series, the developers now want to prepare you for the new classes. Four classes are presented (probably) per video so that you can learn more about their advantages, skills and roles.
The new subclasses offer you opportunities to play your character in new orientations. The first video shows:
Unfortunately, the developers did not include a release date for patch 8, but the assumptions are all somewhere between February and March.

The death clerician is the leader-the glamor bard is rather not that
With the clerician, Larian has already presented the sub-class, which potentially the strongest in the new patch could be perhaps throughout the game. Even though clerics are extremely unpopular.
The focus is particularly on killing. You not only have practice in all possible weapons, but also gets a magic trick with “Toll the Dead”, which is almost as powerful as the scary beam of the witch champion.
At the same time, the magic spell bard can be seen in the video. Even if bards themselves are the best class in the game and absolute all -rounders, the school of magic spell is unfortunately the prime example of: “Can everything, but nothing right.”
You rely on group control and support, which is very useful in theory, but can be adopted much better by other classes in practice. In addition, with the school of swords and the school of knowledge, you waste two of the strongest specializations in the game if you take a magic spell instead.
In addition, the video with the giant barbarians shows another top selection and with the daredevil villain you can look forward to another top sub-class in the upcoming videos.
