What build are you running with?
I wanna hear about some of the possibilities for the other classes.

I'm a warrior leaning reaper atm. I really like the captain america shield t hrow mechanic, and the reaper kind of leans into that. I've specced my shield to ahve 3 charges, bounces 5 times, ignore resistances, and even be turned into an explosive rather than bounce. I'm wiating for level 30 so I can go deeper into reaper and really see how the shield evolves.

For what its' worth, I typically DW or 2h, I don't usually like going sword and board, but the game has really sold me on throwing your shield.

My only issue is that demons and spirits seem to be resistant to necrotic damage, and my weapon attacks go from dealing 2-300 damage to around 11-50.

What are you guys running? Anyone having fun with the other warrior speccs? Found any cool items that set up combos?

I was going to do warrior as I usually do, but decided to give mage a shot. I've been working towards Spellblade and using the dagger/orb weapon exclusively. So far I've grabbed some passives to add ability damage based on orb element, stack extra arcane bombs and let me throw my dagger after an orb combo for easier detonating. I kind of regret not going with Mourn Watch, as I think that would've let me stack another arcane bomb.

Main issue is that everything focuses me, and since the dagger throw only triggers on a final attack it can be hard to pull off when I'm forced to dodge/parry every other second.

Yeah it seems like the only companion that can taunt is Davrin. Making it harder to play anything not a warrior. Have you tried using the slow time abilities some of the companions have to give you some space? If I was doing a mage build, that's where my mind would be at.

warrior or better cap eflmerika.
currently try out a mage but damn against the warrior that´s a glasscanon
Warrior - Reaper. I actually really like the idea of Champion though and it honestly sounds borderline immortal. Still, I play reaver whenever possible and reaper is as close as I can get to that. I don't use the charged shield attacks much outside of initiating, but the quick toss into ping ponging the shield works well for me.

Yup, I have to use tab all the time to direct companions to attack and draw aggro away. Lots of running around and rolling out of the way but I'm still enjoying a lot.

I am playing a thunder mage with the orb and the dagger. It's honestly pretty broken. Lighting falling from the sky and detonating arcane bombs. I also found a Unique Lighting orb that inflicts static on yourself if you cast lighting abilites. But if you get hit you will explode with an potent Lighting AOE. Which is again pretty neat.
Lightning/fire based Spell Blade. Just nukes everything at the moment. I have enough mana for 2 consecutive abilities and then get mana back for every kill. It is a murder machine.
i'm going with Parry warrior. I am dead, On countering everything. I'm only level 10, but by the time I hit champion, I'll be happy. I also started a new playthrough As a Bow rogue and I just wanna shoot things in the head also parry
