Barrelmancy is something that takes a little while to start.
2023 , Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, "The secret best Baldur's Gate 3 class is, of course, Barrelmancer ", Rock Paper Shotgun , 10 August 2023:
Barrelmancy was such a hit with the Divinity community that there are actual mods dedicated to it, but it has many detractors, and barrelmancy in Baldur's Gate 3 1.0 is sadly not as potent as it was in the giddy days of early-early access.
2023 , Nicole Clark, "The best ‘class’ in Baldur’s Gate 3 is ‘barrelmancer’ ", Polygon , 23 August 2023:
Divinity: Original Sin 2 fans also got a kick out of barrelmancy , so it’s no surprise to see Baldur’s Gate 3 fans pulling off the same trick.
