June 26, 20214 yr I haven't been past Defiance Bay yet, as I just can't make up my mind there. The classes I find the most interesting from a concept POV are the Druids, Ciphers (because mind readers) and Chanters. But still as a frontliner Now, my most important questions are: Which of these 3 stays strong until late in both games while focusing on the more talkative stats (Res/Int/Per and maybe Mig)? From what I've read here, Chanters seem to be the best candidate for that, as I can ignore Dex and pump the other stats even more. On the other hand which of these 3 is the strongest for a constantly switching party composition? Because I want to see as much of the games as possible in one go, I would like to switch party members regularly. As far as MCing goes, I would prefer it to be only between those 3, unless one combo with another class is just so far above these 3 xD Edited June 26, 20214 yr by Fidero
June 27, 20214 yr All of them work with any party composition in PoE1/PoE2. However in PoE2 multiclassing them gives better results.
June 28, 20214 yr Personally I'm fond of Ciphers. Definitely multiclass (and subclass) in PoE2, though. YMMV.
