I dont have any gear atm and i dont plan on buying expensive stuff until im higher lvl.

Id like some personal opinions on pros and cons of each char.

Which should I start with? Any general info would help.

I dont feel like reading through pages of stickies, so please don't post the link to the char building page as ive already read it twice.

I will give you two characters to start with, there pros, and there cons. The other 3 are a little more specific and are not fit for new comers.

Option 1:
The Rogue.

Pros :
The rogue can use every type of weapon, making it easy to find a suitable weapon for your character.
The rogue has a nice amount of starting intelligence, so using a heal charm will be more effective.

Cons :
The rogue doesn't start with a huge life pool, which can be costly with not that great of gear
Rogues can only use scales and robes, so it may be harder to find cheap nice armor.

The build :
Use enhanced effect weapons, enhanced effect scale/leather armors (or strength robes/scales/leathers) and a dexterity or strength charm.
Try to keep your strength about 20 - 30 points about your dexterity.

The fighter :

Pros :
The fighter is a great all around character, it starts with nice melee stats and nice vitality so it can take a beating.
Fighters can use plates as well as robes and scale armors, so finding an armor won't be a problem

Cons :
Fighters start with hardly any intelligence, making casters hit them harder and them not be able to heal as well
Fighters can't use all the weapons, so some good weapons you may be unable to use

The build :
It is somewhat similar to the rogue. Definitely get enhanced effect armor (not robe) and an enhanced effect weapon.
Get a strength or a dexterity charm and try to keep your strength about 20 - 30 points above your dexterity.

PM me with any further questions mate

Shees, rogues can't use all weapons.


Barbs Own. Nice vita and strenght on lvl 1. Good life + defence and damaging abilities. +10 vita if you play hardcore (or more but not necessary).
Get a dex charm+armor (or ee armor) and pump strenght like theres no tomorrow. Put stats into dex so that you have dex between 80-120 depending on weapon with your mq gear on (for better def + higher crits).


I'd say like 3/4 of the mobs deal physical dmg so casters arent that much of a problem + you got such a huge life pool and kill them fast anyway (weaker to physical dmg).
