as I’ve stated in my other thread, I’m completly new to the game and looking for a build to start with. I’m creating this new thread, since this is another approach to find a build fitting my needs.
I’ve read tons of builds, tried to create my own and came to the conclusion, I can’t just create my very first char with such an ultra endgame build in mind, so I need something to start with, something not so gear dependant but fun to play.
I’ve tried all basic kits in crucible Mode (just to get a feel for what I like and what not) and these are my favourites:
Nightblade (Shadowstep and Dualwielding)
Soldier
Occultist (especially cuz of Solaels Witchfire and Sigil of Consumption)
Arcanist (only if its not getting to flashy)
Possible Classes for me would be:
Blademaster
Witchblade
Witchhunter
Battlemage
Spellbreaker
I normally play tanky characters, such as Hell Knights (evil) or Paladins with either sword/board or 2-handed weapons, pure Melee Tanks without any Magic are just to boring in my opinion.
Which of all these mentioned Classes would u suggest to a beginner and why? (Preferable with a rough grimcalc/grimtools build?)
I have been working my way through hardcore for the first time and my witchblade has been very effective. There have only been a few close calls. I plan for it to look something like this.
The first character I beat the game with was a two-handed blade-arc blademaster (Pneumatic Burst is my favorite ability in the game and Shadowstrike is great too). It was getting difficult at the end but I did it.
If you’d like a gear-independent pet build, then the one in my sig would work well.
Below is a link to a thread that provides a kind of build diary / level-by-level character development plan, and technical information about how to make the pet build in my sig work.
