Gloom stalker/assassin is a typical companion class. Astarion is perfect for that. His job is to kill things in combat,I do the talking. It's a one trick pony - kill things quickly and maybe o en locks.
I'm usually bard, I just love that class and I think, it's a good main character class.
Maybe I should have added that Astarion more often than not is my main character. XD He's not my favourite character but he is my favourite main character.
Currently he's Shadowheart-Avatar's companion and maybe I'll enjoy the gloom assassin more once we reach higher levels. As it is, I am having most fun with Gale and Shart who are both storm-based and share water puddles like bestis should, while Astarion and Lae'zel are mostly efficient killing machines.
