Thousand thanks for all the advice! In the end, I've decided to start from scratch and do an evil playthrough of PoE (which I've never finished) as a Bleak Walker until Deadfire difficulty is fully patched up, then try to transfer it as a Bleak Walker/Troubadour. I'll be using companions to fill in the gaps in the Death Knight/Blackguard skill set (mainly frost magic, plague). Thanks to you, I already have ideas for the next character though! Have fun

Hi folks, first time posting here! So I've been wanting to go through POTD again and toying with different kind of builds. My first campaign MC was a shady Black Jacket/Ascendant guns and blunderbusses user but I wanted to experience melee a bit more this time around. I settled for a truly evil character of type Death Knight (think WoW DK) and I was wondering what classes/subs you could recommend. I'm mostly looking for RP fluff as I'm still not fully familiar with the PoE setting. Having lots of stuff to do in combat wouldn't hurt though, the less auto-attacks the better! At first I was thinking 2h Bleak Walker/Beckoner but I was kind of disappointed by the summons durations in my limited testing, not to mention I would be missing on classic DK frost and plague spells (and I'm not sure how the paladin auras work in combination with summons, if anyone could enlighten me on that, that'd be great!). Might still give troubadour a shot seeing as it can be quite active in combat. So yeah, basically I'm open to any and all suggestions! Thanks.
