Embermage or Outlander. Starting off I would say Outlander because the damage output from start to finish is insane. Embermages take a bit longer before they reach that same point, and early on you run into mana issues.

Ive dedicated almost 1000+ hours into this game And after playing 12 different specs from various classes my opinion for thee best class(note soloing 150 dungeons on elite by yourself are nothing without trying them in a 6 player game on elite where mobs have HUGE increase to their health, HUGE HUGE HUGE armor(my berserker crits for 150k in solo game, crits for 8k in 6 player game),and damage) The best class and spec and build in the game is a Spell trigger outlander focused on stacking DR%, health, and Int. The spell trigger gems do not scale properly with bosses armor or resist from a 6 player game from what I've experienced. You can find the basic setup here: http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=48730 and for any further more in-depth questions about classes specs lemme know I've tried just about everything.

EDIT: A tanking engineer is semi viable in 6man 150 elite dungeons but doesn't have the damage output the outlander does.

EDIT: My spell outlander is doing roughly 4-10mil damage per cast.

To stay alive, I'd say a pure summon engineer is the best. You can dump every single point into vit, but it's boring as shit.

Not Boring the problem with this is your droids DIE ALOT due to its hard to stack armor for them. And not boring its fun to sit back and play ff4 on my 2nd monitor while my droids do all the work.

ill try that

ALL classes are viable and fun. Its a matter of taste and what you like to play =)



Summongineer is pretty fun...if played well + with the right gear you wont have to relay on copter and sledgebot to kill these are optional...spider mines the best and these will do most of the job with the gun bot =)


To me,mages the *best* class. As a d2 vet...i like mfing and this kind of thing...mages are the best to do it and theres a few cookie cutting mage skills. Berserkers are to be handled with care..you need some experience to build them / play them well...unlike mages.
