It may not be so much what is the best class but which weapon proficiencies did you choose and did you find the right weapons before the encounters. In my case, in my first game, I chose long swords and two weapon mastery. That worked out well; bought the blade of roses after freeing the slaves, and found a great weapon (the Daystar) in the gate section. Then it wasn't hard.
You may want to work more on character development. Try to get 18 in dexterity, strength, and constitution if you are a fighter, reduce charisma to 3, and keep wisdom at 6 or 8 or 15, intelligence 8 or higher. For strength you really should shoot for a 18/00 score if you are just a fighter. I can spend half an hour rolling a character to get that. Don't reroll because you didn't roll an 18, take away some charisma and punch up the strength and check to see if you got the 18/00 (or 18/91+ at least).
