I've played this before, I had a Magician, which was fun, but solo was hella hard, had a Melee class, which was fun, but I'm not a fan of just being pounded on.
Looking for suggestions of what class/build to play!

Will take EVERY class into account, just because I didn't think being the Tank or Magician before doesn't mean your suggestions won't matter!

Well, you'll get pounded on whatever class you are, unless you have an enhanced effect armor.

Try out melee again, just with an ee armor, if you didn't last time.
Magician you'll definitely just get ripped apart, but thankfully you'll have a heal charm, hypothetically.

PM me with any further questions
