what class you gonna play & why?

[Niiyos]

6 classes at start. what you think?

[PyramidSwim]

Giants Blood Gemling Legionaire Merc probably.

[aenema]

I cannot wait for the Druid <3
Was sure I will start with Sorceress, but after the last presentation I am not sure anymore if I can choose between Sorceress, Witch and Monk in early access.. maybe try all of them at once :D

no.

I want a 2x2h warrior with a 2h and board in the second slot. Use the 2x2 hands for clearing, and the sword and board for bosses. I'm actually hopeful we'll be able to chain effects off of the block so that enemies who hit us are getting spammed with damage.

[Captain Westwind]

Mercenary because they turned the crossbow to an essential space rifle and I think it is something I didn't see in a game before.

[Ronin Gamer]

I played a LOT of ranger in PoE 1 with a bow most of the time, so that will likely be one of them I want to play. I'm not usually fond of bog standard warrior types in these games, so probably try monk, sorceress, and maybe merc depending.
Once the other classes are released Templar could probably be added to that. Druid perhaps as well.

[Arugin]

I will play all of them but will start with the monk. Since it was the first class that was showed on ExileCon and it looks awesome.

[Dr. Peace]

I'm going to try the merc first. Also going to go in blind and see how my character turns out. I haven't played much POE 1 and always used a build guide, so will be interesting to see how it'll work out.

[Kalgert]

I'm a bit conflicted between Warrior, Mercenary and Druid. Moreso between Mercenary and Druid, as I'm really liking the Druid looking like a proper muscle-loaded hulk as opposed to what Diablo 4's Druid is. But hey, still enough time to decide.

Heh, this reminds me of the funny story of how I initially decided to look up a guide, at least for the endgame, only to ditch it because I thought it too complicated. Ended up winging it and created a Duelist build that made me a storm of death and self-sustain :p

[😎Astran😾]

A female class with better looking equimpemnt and cosmetics (if I won't leave right after the campaign due to the lack of co-op end-game)

[Drake]

Witch infernalist, mercenary legionnaire and chayula monk. I hoped the templar would be in the starting roster, looks like it will have to wait.
By the way, note that there is no str/int class starting in the EA, this is going to be a real void, unless they switched something and monk went str/int and witch dex/int.

Druid isn't going to be there day 1 of EA so that makes your choice a bit easier.

Monk is dex, not str.
