Hydrosophist skills in Divinity: Original Sin 2 are based on your skill-level for damage, healing, and providing magic armor. These skills make your character the main healer of your party, both in and outside combat (allowing you to save precious Action Points to heal your members, and using them instead offensively). In addition, Hydrosophists can freeze blood or water that is spilled on the floor, making enemies slip and take damage, or use Action Points to go around the area instead, allowing you to set up some nice traps. Compared to other school, Hydrosophist deals lowest damage but provide many ways to heal, AoE counters for mages and terrain advantages.

Ice Breaker
AnonymousWow, this skill tree is sooooo balanced lol.
Imagine lone wolf with elemental affinity:
Adrenaline, rain, hail storm, winter blast, ice fan on one target, and finish off with Ice breaker.
(It would be stronger with savage sortilege, hothead, maxed scoundrel, maxed 2 handed, and maxed hydro.)

The hydro tree is a bit difficult to assess. The healing is nice and clear, but I lacked an ice elemental, or I would split frost and water magic into special skill trees. I was still missing a little spell like an ice mirror shield that reflects magic and dampens damage. Or some better syngeries with other magic schools besides air. I would have liked to freeze enemies and break them with a rock attack and do a lot of damage e.g. Frost was not a half thing or a whole thing. Somehow no comparison to e.g. Geo ..

I wish this type of magic had some damage, i equiped it to my physical damage dealer wich is a undead (so he cant heal from the ehaling spells). I though water did more damage

In the Frost Paladin build you say that Ice Breaker dont scale with brother Str not Int, but in the description above it says that it svales with Int. Which alternative is the true one? Thx!

Hydrosophist is my favourite, and main, school in this game, whenever I'm playing again. STEAM version has an acess to Workshop, where many talented people are modding those skills, adding something new, or balancing them. If not for achievments, I like to play with mods installed, just for fun. In classic version, Lone Wolf Hydrosophist can deal massive amount of damage to the undead (thanks to the healing spells) and still be pain in the arse to other enemies. It's good to invest in Summoning (for Soulmate, Rallying Cry, the Inner Demon), Huntsman (for First Aid, Elemental Arrowheads), Polymorph (for Apotheosis, ofc), Scoundrel (Adrenaline, Cloak and Dagger), and Necromancy (Soul Shackles, Last Rites) I finished the honor mode (on classic) with the investment like above, plus with Ifan Ben-Mezd, whom I made a long-sword fighter. Giving your tank Living Armor talent lets you regenerate Magic Armor on them, without relying of Soothing Cold and Armor of Frost too much. Soulmate creates a link, that shares heals and magic armor regeneration, so if they are out of range, you can always cast it on yourself. If your tank has high Warfare, it's a crime to not give them Picture of Health talent. I risked, and gave my tank Leech, and I had Blood Rain. Worked like a charm. TL;DR - this school is great, made me finish the game in honor mode with just blood and tears, but not sweat.

Bit of a shame most of the hydro spells are either 1 or 3 AP, so in the former case, Elemental Affinity literally does nothing. Pyro gets Haste which is broken, why can't Hydro get a good AP economy?
