Hey guys!
So recently i tried to finish another PoTD full run. Unfortunately i'm kinda stuck on creating character. I tried different ones - some work out better than others. Unfortunately the time you have to invest in a class in order to tell if you really like it or not is huge. Some classes get better in midgame or lategame which takes quite some time to accomplish. So i decided i'll ask here maybe someone more experienced will be able to help and answer couple questions.
First question about retaliation - is there any class that works well with it using mostly retaliation items? I was thinking about building a tank with Coat of Ill-Payment and Sura Supper Plate eventually Dragon's Maw and a on handed weapon. I don't really want to rely on Fire Godlikes. Is there any class that work really well with retalation or not really?
Second - Ciphers. I would like to build one with 2 handed weapon and sturdy/heavy armor. Possible or a waste of time?
Last one - Priests - mostly Priest of Magran and Priest of Berath.
I uterlly hate playing one in cloth/leather armor. I'm more of a battle cleric guy and as far as i know wearing heavy armor hurts recovery quite a lot. Question is - is it still comfortable to play even in brigandine/mail armor?
When it comes to Priest of Magran i like his flexibility. I would like to build one around his Arquebus passive and perhaps Steadfast + Shield. Add Abydon Hammer later on. Also Scion of Flame fits the class really well and synergizes with a lot of priest spells. The downside is a lot of those weapons come really late.
Priest of Berath - i like his dispositions a little more, i could run with Tidefall which comes relatively early. But same question about armor and casting time applies. Does it make sense to build a battle cleric in this game or not really?
