Best Starting Class

[Skeeuk]

hi,

was just wondering whats the best starting class?

I just want an easy playthrough as ive bought it today. To give you an idea on sacred 2 (ps3) i played as the charachter who could throw down a totem that shoots at enemies! is there a similar class as that on Sacred 1 that has a similar power?

if not which class is the easiest playthrough.

ps. resolution is a shame....

lol, I just bought it too, even though I played it years ago.
I remember that the mage was REALLY powerful, has a lot of spells all very different from each other so you have one for every situation, and he can unleash a lot of dps too.
I don't really remember the other characters so well, but a friend of mine used to play with the dark elf and told me he has a very tactical combat style, so maybe that's the one for you?
I'd say just try all of them for a bit and then choose.

the mage is the best class in the game i think because i played all classes in the game and the mage is the most powerful class

I like Battle Mage, or Elf Hunter.....arrows are fun .....each class is unique....with great game play. As much as I like Diablo 1, and 2.....I have always enjoyed Sacred Gold, and Divine Divinity, and Beyond Divinity a lot.

When i first played Sacred years ago i found battlemage to be the hardest, simply because you can't rely on basic attack and have to wait for skills cooldowns.
Battlamage has low physical stats and literally no physical abilities, his skills are oriented on magic spells, which makes his basic attacks miss a lot and inflict somewhat low damage.

The easiest classes in my opinion are Gladiator and Vampire.
Glad is just beefy dude who kills everything with weapon, so is vampire, but she's a girl and can also turn into a bloodthirsty beast which capable of ripping off a dragon in a few strikes when angry.
Both elves are not hard too since their attack is good, but they have low defence and thus require more control and precision to play.
Battlemage mostly rely on skills, rather than weapon, which makes early stage of the game somewhat challenging, you'll have to run and kite a lot.
Seraphim is similiar, but she can also be a decent weapon fighter.

And finally demon and dwarf - dont play them. Because Underworld add-on sucks

My two main playthroughs were made with Gladiator, basically i was just spamming one skill the whole game - Fist of the Gods Nothing else was needed

For easy play thru Gladiator would be better , for fun the Elf huntress, and for challenge the Battle Mage.....putting the points on the right skills, is key to getting thru the game easier, the Dwarf withn his canon is fun to.

Battlemage and use Ice Shards and Ring of Ice

If you want a totally OP character then I highly recommend Wood Elf w/ thornbush primary attack. Just roll that into a big mob and it alone does great damage but that more than doubles with area damage if you or an enemy archer pops it before it disappears, after that just watch all the xp numbers scroll up your screen.

On the character select screen, hit "Import" and start as a level 29 Dwarf or Demoness, lol.

I'd say pick a melee character over a ranged character to start, as the ranged characters require a bit of kiting, but I personally avoid the Vampiress. She seems cool but almost the entire game takes place outdoors, so waiting for the sun to go down to get the most out of her can get really tedious really fast.

I personally like the Seraphim b/c she gets some really cool spells, including doing continuous damage to all undead in sight.

While it's been a while since I played, I don't remember there being any characters that were particularly easy or hard though.

Hmm.... i did my first playthrough as vampiress and had no problems with the sun at all, however that was in classic sacred, without add-on

Oh and about undead - they can be very annoying, but most of the time one or two anti-undead potions is enough to deal with them :>
