[Fire godlike retaliate - monk or barbarian?]

Thanks, that is good to know. i dont want a too OP build that takes the fun out. how well does a fire monk retaliate play? Or maybe a paladin as pc for added roleplaying depth.

 

What do you think of the party composition?

[Fire godlike retaliate - monk or barbarian?]

Dear all,

 

about to start the game and trying to come up with ideas for a good player character in relation to party. 

 

I've read about a fire godlike build based on battleforged and have seen a monk build (enverxis) as well as one for a barbarian (http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/74074-my-fire-barbarian-tankish-build/) and am now wondering which of the two would be the best fit with a party as follows:

 

tank 1: Edar companion

tank 2: paladin hired adventurer?

second line 1: PC (monk/barb retaliate, secondliner I guess? 

second line 2: Druid companion 

ranged dps 1: wizard companion

ranged 2: Priest companion

 

questions to you experienced players:

 

I. which of the PC options would you recommend? monk or barb retaliate? I am aiming for fund also in the first half of the game, so only lvl12 awesome builds are not what i am looking for.

 

II. what do you think of party composition? drop the druid for another hired monk /barb (the one i wont pick as main char)?

 

III. Drop the monk/barb retaliate build altogether and go for a paladin PC?

 

Many thanks in advance, I am looking forward to this amazing game!

 

Best,
