Dark Knight with dark magic?

[Sunbeach]

Hi guys! I will only start playing Pillars 2 and I would like to create some dark multi-class. Such a combination of a character who fights well in close combat with the use of dark magic. Such a dark knight with the magic of Necromancy maybe .. What would you like here to propose a combination of classes? Something with Chanter? With Mage? With Druid? And to what one fighting in melee? Someone so dark who would fight well and at the same time used dark magic well. I would like to receive not one from you but a few suggestions Thank you in advance!

Bleakwalker/Beckoner is what you want. Pick any skeleton/shade summoning ability you come across.

If you're willing to give it a stretch, a sadistic Cypher may do the trick. 

 

Corpse Eater/Soul Blade for some Heavy Metal action. I mean eat bits from your fallen enemies.

As Queen Morag said in the end of NWN,

 

"I will rip your flesh and feed upon your soul"

^ Well... I'm guessing a Cypher with his soul shreds would make that... a bit easier.

Well Soulblade / Corpse Eater is more about ripping one's soul then eating his flesh.

 

Sort of reversed Morag.

I don't claim to be an expert... but how did you decide that you first eat the soul, then the flesh? x) 

[Elric Galad]

Soul annihilation rip the soul

Corpse eating... well... eat the corpse

Eh... guess you have a point there.

Priest of Berath.

[Boeroer]

Berath is not dark. Berath is pallid.

Lol. Well this game doesn't really have strictly "dark" themes, best you can get is Decay.

Thanks to you and i see this - Paladin with Chanter like you write.

Ok and what do you propose - Dark Knight with magic? 

[Boeroer]

The suggestions were all good. I personally think Bleak Walker/Chanter is the best combo for that because it covers "Knight" and you can't go much darker than Bleak Walker. And the Chanter has some pretty dark and "necromantic" stuff as well.

 

Other classes that have "dark" abilities you can choose from:

 

- Wizard (mostly acid, necrotic and draining themed spells)

- Priest (of Skaen, Berath, Woedica or Rymrgand - the last two need a mod to unlock the subclass for players)

- Druid (mostly "Decay" spells)

- Barbarian (Corpse Eater)

- Monk (Shattered Pillar likes to inflict pain)

Rogue (all the toxic stuff and some other abilities with DoTs and fear and so on

 

But since you ask for "Knight" as well I think Paladin is the best fit for the first class option and Paladin/Chanter is just awesome in general. Arkane Knight (Paladin/Wizard) with the goal of getting Spirit Lance and using some dark spells would be very fitting as well.
