necromancer and alien hunter (if you have the dlc that is) are two of my favourite classes, necromancer is just super fun and can become an amazing support class or damaging class depending on how you build it, i tend to go for the more supporty version though since making your undead even stronger is soooo good, plus bone armour which gives 3 armour i think it was to a target is just beautiful

Everything is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen.

I like long war spec ops. and rogue class for LW2

Both are extremely versatile class that uses stealth. and each one differently.

Rogue class and Samurai class are two of the more balanced. I used them in modded vanillia (i.e. non LW2) to good effect. Rogue is another Scout/stealth class similar to shinobi but rellies more on guns and flanking. Works well with the DLC pistol. Samurai is a durable melle brusier (non stealth shinobi) that probably is still a little too strong at later levels but relatively resonable. I haven't played with the LW2 version where it has throwing knives instead of secondary gun.

I also played around with a Sniper/Support grenader that was kind of interesting, though I forget its name. Also I played around with ini customizing a Sniper/Support Gremlin, but there were a few skills I couldn't implent properly just from ini files.

A lot of the others are a bit akward or overpwoered in various ways (passive armor, killing from stealth, ect) but hey with the new DLC classes coming out who knows. Several of the 'tank' classes are a little clunky and make too liberal use of +Armor abilities. Others exploit re-entering stealth a lot. I tried several varients of classes that used Heavy weapons but none of them felt quite right...

I see the necromancer mentioned a lot, but I can't look at its skill list without thinking its too powerfull. +3 Armor? REally? (Is it damage reduction armor or temporary HP shields...)

My son enjoys 4 actually.
1.Bruiser Class, because it helps early game- In LW capturing is hard early and Bruiser class really can do some front line damage and not depend on shooting
2.Shinobi and Rogue-Both classes are great to get in and do your task fast without being seen. You can station your main party away and battle while your Shinobi or Rogue complete their task. Hunter/Sharp Shooter is also deadly not only can he kill from a distance but charge and kill with his melee weapon.
3. Necromancer- It is a great class because of the zombie control, fire and many early options that you do not need to wait to contruct your psi to use. I agree very powerful backline class early.
4. Dragoon Class- I think this is the Cannon user primary w the Gremlin secondary, Good back line slaughterer with hacking capabilities The specialist should be the only one used for any hacking ability. Even when you create one and know once graduated he/she will be a specialist or dragoon, you should use only them to hack anything. To gain hack exp. points and augment. As the battles increase or become more intense, a high specialist can make hacking anything super easy.
What my son did and he is having a ball was get the class to fit his superhero he created. For example,
Nick Fury-he made a Soldier Class, Captain America-w the shield made into a shinobi, Deadpool-Samurai, Submariner into a Bruiser, Pyro, tech and so forth. If your going to have your soldiers in some kind of theme. Then match the class with that theme. He uses the voice packs to match the character.
Punisher Sharp Shooter w a Punisher voice and look, and he has a ball.
My point is have fun, no matter the classes you wind up with.
