Thank you Boeroer. I play as a mighty priest of Berath. Boreal dwarf. M 21 Per 13 Int 14. Is it ok? PotD mode. Not soloing. How should I evolve first levels? Invest in interdiction or take some combat skills?

Hello. First, sorry for my english. Not native speaker. I want to ask for help. In my first playthrough my main char was a rogue. Bad build but game was very enjoyable. PoE remember me such titles as BG or ICD. Recently I bought White March expansion (both parts) and I need help with another character. Can you give me some tips? I want to play on hard mode (I'm sure that PotD is to much for me) with encountered in game companions. I like Eder, Kana, Hiravias and Pallegina. I don't like Durance. Aloth is Ok. My char should be smart, agile and perceptive. Not very strenght but not weak too. Also he should be talkative. Maybe able to cast some spells or use abilities. I don't have problem with micromanagemnts (not to often). I think I have few options: 1. Rogue. Two weapons or weapon + buckler (with bash maybe so I can use full attack ability). Light or medium armour. Bow as second weapon. It fit to my personal passions: close combat (with knives) and archery. Next merit: no need to be might. So high Dex, Per and Int. Is viable some crit builds? 2. Druid. Shapeshifter. In harder combats he first cast some spells then go to melee. High Might, Per and Int. I don't know what weapon and armour he should wear. Unfortunately I don't like rest to often. shapeshifting dont last long. Spells will run out and what then? My next char have the same problem. 3. Melee wizard. Clever traveller with high lore and skilled for close combat. High Might. Then Int. Per? Dex? Maybe two handed weapon and light robes. Not sure. And last idea: 4. Priest Eothas or Berath. These aspects fit to my personality. Not cruel or aggressive. In my opinion Eothas looks better for roleplay view, right? I found some nice view build: "How I buffed the others. Looks like spellcaster who can also take chis chance in close combat. Heavy armour, shield and mace or morning star. So, which one is "better"? I mean, more fun in all aspects of game (talks, quests and combats)? For all acts? I think all "spellswords" are familiar in use: first buff (or release beast inside) then fight. And, one more question: do you play with enabled AI for companions?
