Pretty sure, like Diablo and other games, the first part of the game until you reach the first portal is single player only. Its just a guess since I am playing offline. that would make sense to me.
So every class should be able to do that part alone and I probably just need more time playing the game to get through it. Until 1st portal they have to rely on what game gives them, once they reach my stash they can get better. Rogue wasn't sure what weapon she should be using. Game starts her with sword but first drop is a bow, and she can use either... she died from being indecisive and from a lack of potions
Every class has a mastery they reach/choose at lvl 15*
Base classes don't get any better really. This isn't Grim Dawn where you have two trees (although you can put points into the other trees if you wish, the Void Knight build I am following puts 15 points into Paladin tree) where you can make up to 35 different classes... (tries to ignore fact they adding more classes to that game, more combos).
Acolyte can become
Mage can become
- Runemaster
- Sorceror
- Spellblade
Primalist can become
Rogue can become
- Bladedancer
- Falconer
- Marksman
Sentinel can become
- Forge Guard
- Paladin
- Void Knight
Paly is about only healer so if this was an mmo, they would be really popular with all the other classes. To point no other sentinels would be needed. A tank that can heal? What are you? A Druid?
Guess Druid probably has heals as well .. I didn't look. They are the Primalist form that can go into other forms, so maybe?
My Acolyte will become a Necromancer, I have been there before with one. Lich was lacking its main form in the past build.
My current Primalist will probably be a Beast Master. Need to get used to the melee attacks with him, I have been relying on a ranged skill I won't be upgrading and my two dogs to do most of the damage.
Spellblade looks interesting.
Runemaster looks complicated, Sorceror less so.
See if I can get a mage past lvl 4. Next area is a little more crowded than start. He doesn't have many attacks that kill large groups, or should I say, he hasn't changed Fireball yet to make it more dangerous. Every skill has its own skill tree. So while you can't pick your skills, you get more than you can use at once on bar, and can modify the ones you do use to do different things.
He has an AOE based on himself. so I see how useful that is.
If I got a rogue through it would probably be blade dancer. though maybe I should go ranged.
My Sentinel is already a Void Knight, next time I might choose paly. Forge Guard is odd as you create sets of armour that fight for you.
Every class has a variant that uses minions: Beastmaster, Necromancer, Forge Guard, Falconer, Spellblade.
Falconer and Warlock will get introduced to game when game is launched.
I will go online on 21st and hopefully there isn't a max number of characters on there as stupid as Diablo 4. I can use offline to learn game. I will play the other classes anyway. Enough variety there
I bought a new bank tab last night, 20k gone. I don't really use money for anything yet so might as well give Druid a stash tab for themselves. I have categories for Mage & Rogue but no stash under them. When I have spare 20k again, I will buy them one. I assume I can move stash tabs around anyway, so I have 3 general tabs that I could distribute around to classes that don't have any.
I don't have many spare items for primalist yet. His stash tab has 2 items on it. But it gives me somewhere to put gear once he takes it off. He won't be my only one. I always think about next time. If you don't need money, why sell something someone else might find useful. Especially if you have crafted it into something good.
My fingers still go to the number keys for attacks and that isn't how it works. It doesn't help you can drink potions even if you at full health. I can have 3 and suddenly none as my finger is on wrong button
I won't be playing for a few days now. I have to do other things besides play a game. Lets see how well that goes. Storms may not give me much choice.
*depending on how fast they go through story. Took me until lvl 18 but I wasn't sure where I needed to be to unlock the choices. I have been clearing maps, you really don't need to but if it exists, I must see it... need to learn the maps so I can just get to end in stead of running around in circles but so far its fairly obvious which way to go... I just like clearing maps. Its all experience. Some zones have quests you can pick up in them... though so far I only seen one of those and it was impossible to miss.
Sure, you could ignore it... I did ignore one quest but I have done it before... its a choice, give something to one of two people and get a reward. Both give a unique, I have it about 5 times now. I never use it.
