Downside is being somewhat limited in roleplay aspect by your chosen paladin type (not following the code results in smaller defense bonus).įighter makes you more tanky and some pretty nice skills and passives. Flames of devotion and sworn enemy give a very nice damage boost and extra defense helps to keep your character alive. Paladin is also a great choice, but not as single class. Rogue have sneak attack, which adds damage when enemy have some negative affliction (like being flanked) and Cipher have renewable power source and some very hard crowd control options. For the damage I would recommend Rogue or Cipher or both. I haven't played ranger a lot, but I've heard that it's a pretty boring solo class. There is unique arquebus for chanter with good effects on kill, but it's harder to be one who finishes enemies without special damage boost skills. Overall I would say that pure Chanter is better off with pistol+shield for survivability, especially early on. No special skills for attacking with arquebus. But Chanter is mostly about summons, buffing/debuffing, so arquebus is mostly just something to occupy hero between casts. Depends on what you want from main character.Ĭhanter is a good choice overall, because of utility and the reload speed song, that allows to shoot much faster.
