Whats your favorite character Class to play on your first Character
-
We have an old discussion up here about roles we will play
-
I like the offtank/heal or buff Type of classes
Either way i am going to play the most sexy ugly angry busted up drunken demon, you will never like or look at
-
Rol the dps
-
Depends on the game, but over here i'll probably roll a max STR/CON build as first char. Dishing out and being able to take serious damage at the same time is fun, alternatively if i change my mind i might go a INT/CHA focused necromancer but that'll probably be an alt anyways.
-
Straight DPS for me, whether that's a ranger type or magic wielder. I love the idea of jumping into the thick of things and just mowing down baddies.
-
Mine is smthing like rogue with big dps in simple target
-
I personally go for the coolest looking class at first, and then if I end up hating the experience, I make a new character with a little more experience allowing me to choose a much better class or one that I enjoy playing more.
-
I like wizardry except I always stink at wizardry.
-
@esher ayy i love playing assassins!
-
@waynestonchurchill if i could combo a wizard and an assassin i would be in heaven. silencing spells for quick quiet kills and weapon enchanting for poisons and such would be fun
-
@therumthief I suppose you can
You can choose the school you want (three school is better than all of them ^^), so you can take the assassination school, and two with wizardry
-
Assassin maybe

It was said do not try to shoot rock monster with your arrows (immunities, weaknesses), but if archer can not use his arrows, what is he supposed to do? Use magic? Cool, but archer buffed up his DEX on player creation not his INT, so if there are no magical arrows based on DEX archer will be disadvantaged.

This is actually one of my biggest concerns. If I am a DEX/PER archer, and I face a rock monster that's practically immune to arrows, what am I going to do? I don't have the strength to start pummeling it with hammers and I don't have the int to start shooting it with whatever spell works well against a rock monster. Am I just screwed?
You're not an archer. You're a high-DEX/PER character who has decided to play as an archer. Hold a DEX-based melee weapon, take a resting phase, pick the proper set of abilities (assuming you know them, of course) and talents, and you're ready for the dungeon
Otherwise, if you really want to play ranged and kill that stone mob, yeah, ways to enchant your arrows exist - several, in fact. Unless you've made a character with 6-8 INT, you should be able to use them decently.
Now, if the creatures you're fighting are completely immune from physical damage (some exist, and vice-versa as well) and you've made a character with 6 INT then the situation is more complex. Having a friend would be the best thing, but there are workarounds. Get +2 INT from talents. Use abilities that summon magical weapons (even low INT is enough for those). Use weapons crafted with materials that make them deal some magical damage. In a way or the other you can make it!
now that's some good tactical information I'm looking for!
Here's a question: Will the game be easier for a group (duo+) than a solo player? From the sounds of what you posted in the quote, a duo+ would have much faster kill times and could progress their knowledge faster.

OP asked what class do you enjoy on your first play through. your post is much different. IE my first play through could be a self-heal class, ie warlock, but i love casters after the first play through.

Yup I have not assumed existence of a DEX based melee weapons. I would have assumed that all melee was tied to STR.
-
generally daggers are dex based.
-
Usually stealth base classes but never one to pass up mage
-
Definitely some kind of support, I love helping ppl out
-
I prefer to play rogue/assassin types but lately i've been enjoying mage types!

@daz highly likely my toon will not be wearing pants at anytime
