what subclass to choice for KARLACH? ( Wildheart, Berserker , Wild Magic )

[BlackViper]

so far only had casters lol.. so no clue wich one is best when it comes to a warrior in my party but this one is here to stay...

any ups and downs with the choices?? ( Wildheart, Berserker , Wild Magic )

[xposethedarkside]

I went with beserker. Three attacks per round at level 5. Yes please. She often takes out enemies in one round. Sometimes she has an attack left to start on another.

I gave her Tavern Brawler with Berserker and the returning spear, it's hilarious watching her use one goblin to kill the other goblin.

but later on when i lvl up i get to choice new skills, does that change depending on subclass?.. or subclass only gives those that is shown in the menu when you choice?

I took Wildheart : Bestial Aspect and Animal Aspect Bear.
She is my mule with double the carrying capacity.

so when you lvl up and get new skills they are different from the subclass you choice aswell?

Yes, it depends on subclass, and yes the subclass will only display the choices relevant for that subclass.
However you can respec anytime you want and it only costs you pennies. So you aren't locking yourself out of anything by experimenting.

I tried all of three and decided to play with berserker. Wildheart is not very good imo, although there are some half decent ones. WIld Mage(or Wild Magic don't know exactly the name), although is fun, is extremely unreliable, maybe later on you can manipulate a little bit the outcome of the wild surge, but it seems kinda trash. It may be fun, but if you want results and having a plan, it sucks.

Berserker is not that great, but I think it's the best one. Barbarians in general are not very good imo, not saying that I'm correct but so far I'm not impressad. I'd rather have a Fighter/Ranger/Paladin

To be honest I don't know. I haven't respec'd her since I chose berserker. It just seemed the obvious one to choose for me. But like I said, feel free to try em all out if you want. You can always spec into a different subclass if you don't like it.

Wildheart you can choose amongst a bunch of different animal aspects, each one you have certain active/passive abilities. You also can talk to animals.

Wild Magic makes that when you rage, you enter in a wild surge and gain a random passive/active ability during your rage. It can be for example, teleporting using bonus action, +1 ac bonus to you and nearby allies, so on and so forth... You also get an aura to "resist" magic, which makes saves better I think.

Berserker let you use a bonus attack to basically do a normal attack again, but each time you do it, you get a penalty to your attack bonus. You also get a savage throw, but I'm not sure what it does since I didn't used it.

Berzerkes is the best ny itself. I went Wolfheart tough because the AoE advantage against targets close to her is just amazing to the other melee in your party.

I tend to think of Paladins and Clerics as two sides of the same coin. The cleric is more caster focused, better buffs, healing and support for the party, and overall just more spell focused.

Paladins are closer to fighters that augment their powers with powerful smites and things like divine favor that add damage to hits.
Paladin smites are godly. I'm not sure any class can match the single strike damage output of a Paladin.
Like an updated smite can total a lot of enemies in one hit.
