Need help with the classes

[Couch Snake]

I don't understand what i'm supposed to go with right now, i don't know if the survivor is supposed to be some kinda agile jump in then jump out kinda character or what? and the mage well should i just go after what i find useful? or is there a certain meta with spells? and is warrior just some kinda hulk thing?

The warrior class is mostly for melee combat, though can also make a good archer. The survivor class tends to be the most challenging to play; they have skills for daggers, but the damage output isn't going to match that of a sword. Poison Weapon can help with melee weapons or bows, and is a good fit if roleplaying an assassin type survivor.
Mages can use a variety of spells, and at least at the start of the game a bow can be helpful to conserve mana. The Meteorstrike spell (that the male mage starts off with) is a good damage spell that can be cast quickly and has a bit of a stunning effect. Hell Spikes is quite good once it gets to level 4 or 5. Blind is useful as a first step to taking out single targets. The survivor's Curse spell is another good spell to use in combination with anything that can be resisted (Polymorph, anything doing poison or elemental damage, etc); it can be cast quickly and repeatedly on a target to greatly reduce its resistances, so even just level 1 can be very useful. Burning Wall can be very effective for crowd control or single targets, but for best effect it requires good timing and coordination to get as close to opponents as possible (usually you can also lead opponents into the wall if you cast it at a safer distance).

Well, this helped a bunch in helping me pick as i don't wanna go as an Warrior...going as the survivor may be kinda nice simply for the challenge but i might just go mage and since this right here tells me what i'll need there should be no problem doing so! thanks alot!
