Baldur’s Gate 3 has a multitude of classes that you are free to choose to run your playthrough. However, there is one Rogue subclass that most fans agree is the weakest in the game.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a diverse game as it allows players to choose anything they want but considering the massive variety BG3 comes with, it’s natural that certain classes are not as strong as the other counterparts.

This seems to be the case with one Rogue subclass called the Arcane Trickster. A lot of players agree that this is the weakest class in Baldur’s Gate 3 and needs buffs in future updates.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players feel Arcane Tricker is the weakest subclass

The discussion surrounding the topic was initiated by a Reddit user who asked the Baldur’s Gate 3 community to give them a suggestion on the weakest class in the game.

This is because they wanted to go for an Honour mode run with the weakest and worst class available as they were looking for “a new challenge”.

Several fans joined the conversation and mentioned Arcane Tricker was one of them out of several options listed. A player joked how the Arcane Trickster class is “so weak it’s almost totally forgotten that it even exists.”

Another user chimed in, “I am currently playing an Arcane Trickster and it s***s.” A player pointed out an issue where Arcane Trickster “is missing its most defining features of mage hand legerdemain like pickpocketing, lockpicking, and stealing. “

Some players seemed confused about the comments surrounding Arcane Trickster and claimed that they played it in the first playthrough and it was quite good. “Yeah, Arcane Trickster is bad as a dipping class,” one of them clarified.

Therefore, it is safe to mention that a lot of the users had similar thoughts about Arcane Trickster where it has its fair share of strengths, but other classes outperform it quite comfortably.
