I just got this game recently and I am spending a lot of time pouring over the character creation trying to figure out what I’m doing, mainly with the attributes in relation to turn based. I am confused on what stats may be useful on certain characters as I am mostly accustomed to DND5e and poe2 does things very differently as a traditionally real time with pause game and I could use help translating to turn based.
On top of all of that, I am very indecisive on what I want to play, I have a few ideas and am hoping for some guidance or other suggestions. A few of my ideas include...
- A skald chanter mixed with a martial class (fighter?) for a melee spell skirmisher. That first lightning ability looks dope.
- A priest of Berath (this seems like it would be great for RP) mixed with a devoted fighter with a specialization in Greatswords because I heard that priests get spiritual weapons based on their gods so I think that penalty wouldn’t hurt just for the extra bonus to the spiritual weapon. (I am hoping to be in peoples face with the Greatsword, but I heard that priests aren’t that good for that which is why I multiclassed into fighter, would that compensate?)
- A paladin that can do decent damage and support, probably subclassing into kind wayfarer cause I like playing nice people ( I also heard that palis are bad for damage and am wondering about a possible multi class to bump up melee power)
- A straight up fury Druid cause them elemental spells look mighty fine
these are listed from most to least interested, but they are all pretty close, and as I said at they beginning I have very little idea of what I’m doing so other recommendations that fill similar rolls are welcome and I would really appreciate some sort of attributes spread to get on my feet with one of these characters.
