My main is an herald, dual wielder, nice dps and excellent tank
Eder definitely swashbuckler, dual wielder. Good dps, and due to his fighter side and stats, good at holding fire.
Serafen, Witch. I tried pure distance cipher, and he kept dying from exploding himself. By concentrating more on his barbarian side, he became a real good dps, while being way more tanky. Dual wielder too.
Aloth, pure mage. Scepter + shield. I want these spells, and I want them sooner rather than later.
Xoti pure priest. Same reasons as Aloth. With her base weapons.
Maia, Scout. Rogue and Ranger combo, I really like. Dual blunderbuss.
Tekehu, druid/chanter. Good nuker, good healer, good buffer. Love it!
Pallegina, Crusader because my main is already an herald, and Tekehu is also a chanter. But could perfectly also be a herald focusing on other songs. 2H weapons.
These are my companions and they rock :=)
