What class goes best with a soldier?

[Eric-976]

I'm thinking either Demolitionist or Arcanist

[KG]

All of them. It really depends on what you want to do with the character as far as damage type, 2h/1h+shield/dual-wield, etc.

Shaman would be my pick if i could only pick one, solid melee and decent defence/healing. This game is worth it to make more than one charater though :)

Shaman is very good. Go with physical 2h melee build and you can't go much wrong. You'll be tanky with decent to high dps. Works even with bad gear and is very strong option for a first build to start farming some stuff.

both battlemage and commando offer some nice builds,you have some nice builds with commando using a gun or rifle,and battlemage offer some nice aoe...depends on what you like,id go with battlemage for callidor tempest.

+ Nightblade (Blademaster) is a great offensive class focusing on dual-wield and pierce damage, quite tanky in a reactive sense (has a hp regen skill and a "circuit breaker").

+ Demolitionist (Commando) focuses on elemental damage and crowd control, can't go wrong with it.

+ Shaman (Warder) is your ultimate tank, also capable of using 2H weapons to great effect and has a few ultility spells. Capable of summoning a pet or two.

+ Arcanist (Battlemage) gives some offensive potential and crowd control. Solid choice for a sword and board build.

+ Occultist (Witchblade) is a kind of a Unholy Knight, gives bonuses to chaos, vitality, and acid damage. Pretty good debuffs, can summon pets. Very versatile.
