Character/Party Guide?

[Windwalker]

Hey folks,

I've heard that D: OS can be a bit unforgiving if you screw up your party composition and individual character builds. Does anyone know of a good guide for these things for the Enhanced Edition?

Thanks!

You might have trouble with some builds early in the game on tactician, but especially playing in explorer or classic, you should be able to make any reasonable party composition work, without needing to optimize everything.

OK, thanks! Yeah, I definitely plan to play no higher than classic the first time.

Having Madora (warrior) and jahan (mage of wind and ice) as NPC with you, one of your heroes can be a mage of earth and fire.
Concerning the other hero, there are more options. A friend of mine chose archer/warrior. I chose the rogue (with archer skills later). I find the rogue useful, because of the invisibility skill you get at the begining, and the skill that allows you to walk over deadly soils to solve puzzles (winged feet). In combat the rogue as some fun abilities (summon skelet bomb, cloak and dagger), but for effectivity, I tried to learn some archer skills.

Is it viable to run with a pure Ranger build?

I pick up Bairdotr and use her as a pure ranger. She is a very powerful crowd control as well as single target damage dealer further in the game and early with special arrows. My mains are a battlemage and a cleric with Jahan making the fourth.

Baidotr is an option as valid as Madora, but you may want to avoid a specific sidequest of Baidotr.
Ranger skills are great, crowd damage without hurting allies if I remember well, and the best use of the elemental arrows...

On my current playthrough:
Have a shield/Sword wielder as my tank (Main Character)
Have a Witchcraft/Geomancer/Hydrophist (Other Main Character)
Wolgraff (Rogue) who use dual daggers for backstab
Bairdotr as my archer.

Super viable. In fact, Marksman Arrow Spray skill is the highest damage skill in the whole game. Tooltip may trick you into thinking this skill is AoE physical damage, but in fact, if you position your Ranger in melee range and use this skill, all the arrows will hit on a single target. I one shotted most bosses with this skill in Tactician mode.
