Thanks so much for all these replies, I've skimmed these boards sooo much and seen a lot of you post before.
I'm actually enjoying blood mage assassin a little too, it's just so squishy, I just wonder if it gets better past a certain level? Dual axes with modal the rogue dots and combusting wounds, chill fog etc has been super fun. I have legitimately 15 characters level 5-12 so I can switch builds and test stuff out. I can speed run the heck out of port maje.
Its just such a shame DoT druid can't be more powerful, it would be so fun to mix it with a paladin or rogue and be actually good. I hate spirit shift mostly but FoD from wolf form was legitimately cool af. Great sword devoted Berath priest almost scratched my itch with touch of rot but the rest of the kit just wasn't for me which is such a shame because the role play was legitimately exciting.
And yeah chanter/pally looks super interesting, another thing I find myself being dissatisfied with is builds that are stuck to gear. I've not seen a lot of the weapons and armor in the game so builds that find two perfect pistols early on and some armor just don't excite me.
Thank everyone for throwing build ideas at me.
