Still, it is better to choose a character that will match your game style from the start.
This way you won’t have to spend precious skill points on unnecessary skills.
Remember that with each level you will get only one skill point.
As a beginner, your priority should be to stay away from other players (PvP battles).
It is way easier to block a hit than perform an appropriate dodge.
Keeping this in mind, the best character should be theKnight.
He begins with a set of armor, a shield and a good sword.
Although he is slow, his highly developed vitality allows him to take a lot of damage.
Another worthy class is thePyromancer.
In contrast to the Sorcerer, he has greater resistance but his spells aren’t as deadly.
Remember that your decision will only matter at the beginning of your journey.
You should focus on upgrading vitality and attributes that are strictly associated with your character (e.g.
Strength and Vigor for the Knight, and Intelligence and Faith for characters that use magic).
Mercenary- a character that focuses on dynamic combat and offers an appropriate level of endurance at the same time.
Warrior- a powerful character who is stronger than the Knight but lacks his resistance to damage.
Herald- a warrior that can use healing magic.
Due to his shield and ability to heal wounds he is also a reasonable choice for beginners.
Thief- Not recommended for beginners.
His ability to perform backstabbing compensates for his poor resistance to damage.
Requires a certain level of practice when it comes to dodging attacks.
Assassin- a warrior that uses offensive magic.
Sorcerer- a class recommended for advanced gamers who want to use magic to deal damage.
Pyromancer- a warrior and a mage in one.
Cleric- Similar to the Pyromancer but focuses on healing and defense.
Deprived- Only for skilled players.
Has no additional attributes at the beginning, which makes him a very weak character.
However, you’re able to develop his skills as you wish from the very beginning.
