A brief guide to making the worst possible choices (spoilers abound)
Between the editing, snarky commentary, and little asides this series is just killing me so far. It's like what you'd get if The Gang from Always Sunny did a play through.
Is it possible for your DPS output to go into the negative!? Shaz does good work in keeping the rest of your party dealing damage, and 'sneaky Shaz' can help your party cheese some hard fights, but man alive, take a shot whenever she actually hits something for double-digit damage.
Plotting how I'd be able to get all four of my BG3 party into the back row, now...
Shart can deal decent damage but I almost always respec her to life domain for better healing. But there's one spell she's got that slaps unreasonably hard and that's Guardian Spirits. You can drop that spell and do huge damage to groups of enemies just by running by them. If they're undead you can just wreck them with Radiant damage.
She absolutely dominates with guardian spirits in the fight >!defending the portal for Halsin. Caste longstrider and/or haste, and she can take out half the battlefield in one turn.!<
