I started to play the game and I’m loving it but I already have a hard time deciding on what to focus on. I’m between Demolitionist/Arcanist or Demolitionist/Occultist or just plain Demolitionist. Which do you suggest? Which is better/fun? I saw some videos with both builds but I’m not sure which one to pick and with which blacksmith. I know that if I select pure Demolitionist I should pick Angrim (I think) but what about Sorcerer or Pyromancer, should I select Duncan for the fire etc damage?
Thanks.
The older one (Angrim?) is slightly better because he has a chance to get 5% armor bonus, but the blacksmith bonuses are largely irrelevant.
As for the build, a Saboteur (Demo + Nightblade) would probably be a good choice for a first char. He’s easy to keep alive due to massive regeneration, does reasonable damage and you will get your best weapon for free when you get to ultimate.
Arcanist gives you better survivability than Occultist because of Mirror (1 point is enough) and Maiven’s (3 points is enough). That makes it easier to start out with as a new player. Duncan is better for a Demo but not by much. There are better blacksmiths later in the game.
