Dark urge best class for it?

[Zeption™]

So i want to play dark urge but not sure wich class to pick i kinda like paladin oathbreaker but its Str and i dont know if heavy armor would fit well

Then i thought maybe rogue or ranger ? Those are normaly dex and kinda fit with it

Although im not so sure wich class would fit better the RP of dark urge
What are your thoughts wich class fits better? If you had play dark urge and know the unique items and such try not to spoil it but give me your thoughts

It's DND. Just pick whatever class sounds fun. Of course you can min-max if thats the fun for you. Personally, I'd advice to forget min maxing for this one as it limits the game a lot.

Depends if your resisting your dark urges or not I suppose. Perhaps monk if you are, its very fitting.

You can really play any class in a sinister manner befitting of name The Dark Urge.
I went sorcerer and have slaughtered almost everyone who's stood in my way of obtaining more power while rescuing the innocent.

If you intend to follow the Urges dont use a melee class or some combat stuff will dissapoint you later on from the Background.

Supposedly resisting Dark Urge requires high WIS. So get any class with high WIS if you are planning to do that.

I gave up on doing Dark Urge. Not my thing.

Doing it with a wizard right now.
The class really doesnt matter.

If you resist you wont get anything that changes your gameplay.
And if you dont.
You get rewards that make you good at killing regardless of class.

Tho i say this to all who dont know what to play:
Go druid.
Druids are a good class that can do everything.
It let you learn what you like and make your next class something that focus on what you love.

rogue, fighter, barbarian, monk, its blood lust i dont find a mage class fitting for it.

Anything works, as long as you can create a story about the character than you can believe.

For me, I made a ranger hunter. It fits my idea of a "good" character with the dark urge, who kills as a profession but doesn't really understand why. Assassin is also a natural fit, but I don't like playing rogue characters. Fighter works well for a DU backstory, as does vengeance paladin who can't seem to stop himself/herself from dipping into oath breaker.

Those are just suggestions. Pick something you like and create a back story for it. That's part of the fun of D&D.

Oathbreaker Paladin could be thematic

This is how I play my Dark Urge: first, I think to myself, what would be the worst class or race to play as the Dark Urge, then I go and play as that.

This is how I endes up with a 3rd level Fighter (Champion) Forest Gnome who is about to multiclass into a Storm Sorcerer.

I put 16 into both Str and Cha (so I would deal maximum dmg with both spells as well as melee attacks, but also excel in Shoving fools off cliffs, which seems like a very Dark Urgey thing to do, and the extra jump distance is awesome as well.

I intend to go all lightning/cold dmg as a Storm Sorcerer and get Palpatinie on their ass, the Champion levels are just for the increased crit threat and heavy armor proficiency. Apply Wet condition, then crit with ligjtning damage for instant one hit smites.

I'm going to end up in plate mail with a shield, breaking the sky itself to incinerate everything in my way.

Oh, and Action Surge (for 2x leveled spell or more per turn) doesn't hurt either.

Doing a mintharq urge astarain run right now might hire a cirle of spores druid. We stop at nothing for power.
