In this new DOS there much more way to create your characters, you can choose different classes, all the pre-builded character, and a lot of skills.
i ALWAYS play with a "paladin" (warfare+hydrosophist) so i can fight defend and heal, as main, probably this time i'll use Ifan Ben-mezd, but i dont know if create a character by myself, to have at disposition more characters with different abilities for all game long. And also i dont like too much the history of the character, if my main will become a new God at the end of the game, i d like that will be a character very tough.
I am also not sure for the others.
Sure a character with a thief skills, (Beast or Sibilla), for the high damage and for steal stuff from vendors. But as not main C, or you choose one with just scoundrel, or one with scoundrel + polymorph, that dont seems to me to be very good with scoundrels abilities. yes with polymoph you can turn invisible, but is the only one skill really useful. i think that poly is better with a ranger or a warrior.
i was thinking also to use the skull guy (dont remember the name) as WIZARD of four elements, and after give him also the power of conjurer, cause the totem and the minion you evoke can take the power of the elements. the thing that i have to study is his poison ability, he cant be cured by healing but just poison. can be very useful.
for now i stop here, i d like to know what kind of team did you create !
