Thinking about respeccing my 2H Paladin MC to try something new. He's been fine, wrecks shit when he can smite, a place to put those fancy suits of armor to use, and like a potion rack of heals and bless weapon spells. But in fights where he doesn't get to smite, he's mostly a plain martial character but with less feats and tricks. I'm also starting to come around to the drawbacks of slower moving melee characters while everyone else is constantly applying threats at range. Finally, the difference in melee squishiness between a character who can cast mirror image vs single image plebs is so huge in this game. Paladin starts ugly crying when he runs across the screen to miss his one attack and ekundayo kills 4 different guys with his ranged sneak attacks including one I forgot was even there
A fast moving multi-image pouncing melee character would be godlike. I'm guessing that is something like a feyspeaker shifter or a barb with a dip in something? And a monk gish I suppose? Monks only get their pounce if they are unarmed though, I think. Haste is such an easy to come by huge melee boost.
A sword saint with vital strike and no armor penalties probably more than makes up for it, though, and has some neat tricks.
I might spec Harrim into a barbarian for a spin and to punish him for being eeyore.
