I understand what you mean, and I've already played the game until a certain point (that'd be around 4 hours..) but i reach a point at which I begin to find it boring. I am a "difficult to satisfy" kind of player, because I come from D&D tabletop, which I've been playing since the 2nd ed. (AD&D) so I ask you to be extra patient with me. In the Steam forum, a guy suggested me this combination: Marksman with Xbow + Witchcraft. All rounded up with Pet Pal, craft and repair. The role would be a support character with buff debuff (Witchraft prevails over Marksman) who can also shoot elemental arrows or just autofire towards the most annoying foe. Whaddaya say?
Got something to add/modify?
