I was actually wondering what classes do u people like best in SoA? Mine is the Monk and Paladin...

<font color="lightblue">Anything but a plain fighter in vanilla SOA...
With The Darkest Day installed (it adds new classes ;) ), all of the vanilla kits (bar fighter, ofcourse); plus the Ninja, the Samurai (sp ??), and the new priest kits [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

been a fighter, a palladin, a mage, a monk but i think the best is the archer. period

It´s fun to try diferent stuff but at the end of the day, nothing beats a fighter with mastery in dual katanas. Sorcerers are kinda fun, but your still in the backround all the time. Besides, paladins are such basterds and monks ar to damn ugly.

Monk, sorceror and pure half orc fighter with 4 points in 2 handed sword, 3 points in 2 handed weapon, 19 str, 18 dex, 19 con and minimal everything else

In that order. The fighter was only fun for about 30 mins though.

A pure mage is quite fun, as is a stalker, assassin, archer and skald. Those are my favourite classes.

The first time i finished SoA, it was as a vampireslayer. That lived quite up to my expectations. :D

Read my sig.

ARCANE RULES ALL KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I obviously played a Sorceror. I never tried other Fighter classes but I am still going to try them but i still beilieve Knowledge is power! One powerful mage can take down one party!

It all depends on my mood, the type of party I want to have (if any) and my char's alignment... though I'm almost always some type of spellcaster.

I like theives, personally. You can steal important items from people without fighting, and if they fail, use boots of speed to run, hide in shadows, then bakstab with short sword of backstabbing!!!!(dont try this at home)

Sorceror and the kaisin (love that kai ability!)<i cant remember how its spelled.

tell me if this would be a good idea, go through baldurs gate and TOTSC with a mage and then import to to SoA, just wondering cuz i was thinkin of doing it!

Thats a great idea!Thats why they made "import" an ability!(sorry if that sounded rude)and i think you get to keep items from those games too that you had.

yeah i know, im just trying to make a point of how cool it would be to go through the game and not have to write so many spells:)

i've been a paladin, a plain thief, and an assassin. i've gotten the farthest in SoA as an assassin, but it's actually my least favourite of the three. i don't really like any of the three i've been. what should i be next time?

try a mage/thief?

If you don't use the "Drop items before the scream" cheese, I think the only item you get to keep are the Golden Pantaloons.

Well I'd say of the classes I've played my favorite is a plain theif. As mentioned before stealing things is very very fun and the thief stronghold is cool too.

Me love Mages. Me love Thieves. Me play an Elven Thief/Mage.
Paladins and Berserkers are cool, too, and if you think hard enough, there are 2 ways to make a Barbarian almost literally invincible.

<font color="gold">Cavaliers rule all... Sorcerers are fun too... But not even near the Cavalier, the ultimate and undefeatable Knight. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Can you share your ways with us?
I've seen one way over at the GameBanshee forums, it was suggested by Bruce Lee.
Saz, can i post a link?

Another class that are very good are archers I'm just playing one now and he rocks. Beserkers rock too.

My favourite classes are the sorceror, monk, barbarian and cavaliar.

Barbarian by far,Crom Faeyr, Equalizer and Boots o' Speed.....Ace

ooh erm ne of the paladins and maybe some of the new kits that come with TDD when it ever downloads...

Mines gotta be the assasin i dont like theiving but slinking in the shadows and killing your enemies before they know what happened is always fun. You can take out the Head Honcho and charge in with your figters and mages to wipe up the remaining resistance.

Paladin
All the perks of being a tank fighter plus some spell abilities at higher levs and lay hands on. i'm fine with being lawful good. and it's another reason to avoid having anomen. who needs 2 paladins.

I thoroughly enjoy all of the paladin kits (particularly the Undead Hunter for his immunity to hold and level drain).
Mages too. In particular I find that a dual-classed fighter/mage (human fighter dualed to mage at around level 9 or so) yields the best results. That way you can devote more experience points to your mage class and ascend to the higher mage levels (something not enjoyed bu MULTI-classed fighter/mages) whilst still being able to wield powerful weapons should the need ever arise.
Right now I'm playing a human Priest of Lathander imported from BG1 dualed to a thief at level 10 and am having a ball. I recommend playing around with dual-classing, you can find some startlingly effective combinations, particularly in conjunction with different NPC party configurations.

I have played with almost all the kits and classes, solo'd a few. My favourites are the archer, sorcerer(ess) and the plain ranger [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="lightblue">Only thing is: Anomen is NOT a Paladin. He is a Fighter dual Cleric, when he becomes a knight he is still a Fighter dual Cleric. </font>

Paladin's r the best class to me, why? U can ue the very best 2 handed sword in the game!!! (In my opinion)

Yes, carsomyr does tip the the game in the side of paladins a bit, doesn't it? It's alright though, i have the Weimar patch that makes mages flat out rule-28d6 abi-dalzim's horrid wilting, anyone? This affects enemy mages as well, so it isn't easy :(

Gram the sword of grief is also pretty good; Sarevok is using it now in my Ascension game. the lvl drain is good for mages, and he can kill trolls flat out with it. The psion blade makes Sarevok an illithid butt kicker, so i have to say, there are 3 best two handed swords in the game [img]smile.gif[/img] My favourite is a ranger using angwyval and hindo's doooooooooom (as Cespenar puts it)

My favorite class is a fighter dualed to a mage. I like a fighter that can cast spells, and a mage the can wield a sword. You can hack the enemy to pieces or blast it with fireball after fireball, and magic missle until it is incinerated. I just wish there was a fighter mage single class available in bh2. not dual or multi.

I also like the cleric/fighter combo, and the paladin, cause they can heal. Thieves have always been considered a week class to me.

I've only played Inquisitor so far, but next i hope to play a sorceror. Does the soceror have the same avatar as a mage?

Anyways...I'm addicted to the Inquisitor. Inquistor+Holy Avenger=dead wizard.
