Favorite Class in Deadfire

[Safav Hamon]

Any multiclass combination is better than only having a single class, with a few exceptions.

I prefer to play the cuck class.

Safav Hamon is being to General RPG what aweigh is to GD lately, I see?

 

[Jinn]

One of the weirdest troll to have ever trolled on the codex.

So why even have single classes then?

Multiclass does not have the top 2 tiers of spells and abilities in either class. And it's usually the really cool stuff.

There are no top tiers of spells. They are all perfectly balanced!

Example: multi-class chanter can't summon a fucking dragon.

You gain power levels quicker and gain access to an additional 3 power levels. This means three things

1. You gain access to higher level abilities quicker than multiclasses
2. Your abilities will always be more effective than multiclasses
3. You get access to late game abilities that multiclasses do not

On paper it seems balanced, but there are several issues

1. Many multiclass combos are stupidly powerful
2. The additional three power levels aren't unlocked until late game
3. Most single classes have mediocre high tier abilities

That doesn't mean single classes aren't fun, but if you're a power gamer multclassing is usually the way to go.

If this was PoE1, I'd say wizard. But the sequel has combat so Balanced(TM) that everything feels the same. It's just such a chore to play.

The grimoire system was one of the few highlights of the first game. It was fun both narratively (killing an enemy mage and looting his customized spellbook) and mechanically (fiddling with your own unique combinations, and swapping between books in combat). No idea why they ditched it for an MMO-centric clusterfuck. Hell, they could've just left the grimoires alone even if they wanted to stuff the spells inside the levelup interface. But nope, can't have fun! That wouldn't be perfectly balanced!

SAWYEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!

The story of this thread: When you can't even gauge how bad a ruleset is

Problem with locking out final two ability tiers is that it only really affects end-game "balance". For like 80% of the game the multiclass char will still always be better.

 

[Safav Hamon]

With the DLC you reach max level 50% through the game, and you still have to consider that players will progress power levels faster.

Wizard for ridiculous high level spells.
Herald for being absolutely unkillable.
