Wall of fire has been great to me, as well as Thunderwave. My Warlock has it, my Astarion has it, my Shadow heart can summon a Djinni with it, and then Karlach can just throw almost any size monster off a cliff with her hands.
Honestly environmental kills trivialized a couple boss fights thus far.
What happens to the loot once the boss is thrown off the cliff? My fomo is keeping me from trying it. Where does it go?
That depends on the boss. The boss at the end of Astarions quest line can be trivialized by pushing him off, then he responsible a coffin for the second "phase". The phase is trivial so you'll get to loot him.
Yeah I refrain from using it in many situations but in the ones where it's favourable, e.g. landing into combat surrounded by low level mobs, a single Thunder Wave can win the fight in the first move, just have to mop up the boss and any mobs that succeeded a saving throw and still get all of the more valuable loot
It's just gone.
I cheesed a major boss fight in Act 3 with Thunder Wave. Still got the loot, too, because the baddie was supposed to "escape" after being reduced to 0HP and got put back on the map.
