So I've run through the opening island on PoTD upscaled with an ancient druid (going for DoTs) and a furyshaper Barb. I played a greatsword wielding barb in PoE 1. I want to have Eder in the party, Xoti, MC, and I am somewhat open on the last two slots. I liked having a ranger and druid in the prior game so maybe those two classes. I would preferably like to be a frontliner. I would also like to be able to do everything the game has to offer (all bosses and quests) or at least attempt it. I enjoyed furyshaper but found my barb just kept dying super quickly and the few naval battles I tried. Same for the druid. Any suggestions on classes? I've looked around a bit and found blood mage/ paladin, paladin/chanter, paladin/cipher as classes people bring up. I'm typically a fan of heavy armor and in the thick of things in rpgs. I am open to rolling the ancient druid again if the DoTs would be viable in endgame. Only class I'm not too into is probably rogue. Thanks
