Best class to play
Can anyone suggest me the best class for me to play?
So far I have played bard and wizard, I don't think that's easy to master
I'm new to this kind of game

Its more about the right team than any one class. You really want a tank (Lae'zel), a healer (Shadowheart) utility/picking locks/disarm traps/perception (Astarion) and damage dealer (Gale/Wyll). You just need to play one of these 4 types and build around it.

warlocks probably easiest spellcaster to play & manage. the regain there spells on short rest, eldritch blast is best damage cantrip and you get to upgrade it, hex only uses a spell slot on first cast then you can reapply it, they don't get many spells, but they're all mostly good spells. also they're a bit tougher with leather armour and some of their perks

you dont need a tank and healer at all. you need someone who can scout, someone who can do area damage, some who can do single target spike damage to priority targets, someone who can deal with traps and locks, someone who can do all the talking, someone who can buff and / or debuff and a couple of people who can crowd control

Paladin or Warlock, Both are CHA based which means you can also be the "face" of the party and pass persuasion etc checks.

Both are easy to play, Warlocks because their big trick is the Eldritch Blast cantrip which they can spam endlessly so you simply have to blast away at stuff.

Even better than the Warlock is the so-called Sorlock which two or three levels of Warlock and 9 or 10 Sorcerer. This is a beast of a blaster caster but you will need to consult a build guide video for it to make sure you understand how it works.

Start with a fighter and learn how other class works by bringing companion

All class is good as long as you understand what they can do

ranger is pretty strong at both ranged and up close combat with a pet and some other useful tools, its a little more involved than just a run up and smack them fighter but not so complicated you can't figure it out easily.

Paladin is a good starter class like people said.

Super Tanky, Hits Like a Truck, and can do very well in Dialogue.

Just fine a way to Talk to Animals and you can get the most of your first playthrough.

as always my first party main is a paladin. you learn the mechanics and its more forgiving then all other class. Ranger should also work very well since ranged combat is insane strong.

I’ve been enjoying bard. You can do a bit of everything and talk a lot. I believe your bard can use a shield. So a way to get ac up is throw a shield on them.

The song buff is very potent. Mine currently also heals when I buff. Is that an item?

At least with DND though I woukd probably stay away from wizard on the first play through. Their lack of HP and limited spells on the beginning make them a bit more adept to play well. Though at higher level they can likely burst damage like crazy in an area. If you can trudge through to that point.

Though play whatever you enjoy. This game seems very long. So you may just want to stick with a class you are having fun with.

Sone skill synergies to look for could be a character that can teleport to higher ground and is adept at range attacks.

You could I suppose make a warrior archer for example and at level 4 you can pickup the magic spell fear that lets you teleport. Maybe combine with feather fall. If you are above them and do massive archery damage consistently with a magic bow that could be pretty brutal.

The other characters would be there to draw there attention and keep them busy.

By the way, you can respecc anytime in this game after a certain event.

Barbarian gets tons of extra dialogue and it's generally quite funny and yes, it is also powerful as hell. But overall it depends on what suits your playstyle.
