Best Class for single player?

[Morphine Cat]

I initially thought that the Crusader was the best bet for solo play, being as the tank is more often than not the most survivable class in ARPGs. It also seemed like the obvious choice for sheer damage output.

The Tech Adept seems like a good choice, but the inability to reconfigure your constructs until the end game (when you stop levelling but can continue grinding for fragments) makes it a somewhat dismal choice unless you have a very well planned build.

Now that I've tried a Psyker build I feel like that's the best choice. The ability to combine different area effect weapons, and the sheer number of choices in terms of whoopass output makes it the most useful in a fight that's 100 against 1. It's a bit squishy in the early stages, but once you round out your powers, and get some decent armour scrounged or crafted, you can't beat the raw destruction power.

Admittedly I haven't yet built an Assassin, nor do I have any inclination whatsoever to do so. I'm looking forward to the new class whenever it comes out, but there's not much to sell a sniper type in a game that's got such target rich enviornments.

What do folks think? Who works best in solo play, and who puts the most kill per click onto the field in the end? I'm hooked on the pure Psyker (those swords are borderline useless, and who needs a bolt pistol when you can drop rains of fire on people?), given as my most recent build basically meanders through hordes of heretics almost effortless.

The tech adept can reconfigure their constructs at any time. No need to wait until the end. Make some pets and watch them kill everything, doesnt take much planning.

Any class can slaughter the game.

A lot of people have noted in other threads that the Tech Fragment limitation makes it hard to keep multiple weapons configurations up to level with your character. At least until you max out at 100 and can start to catch up the ones that are lagging behind. I've found that switching construct configuration mid-stream leaves your weapons perpetually behind your base level as the growth curve is pretty steep, and you can't refund the fragments once they've been invested.

Again, you can catch up in the end game, but in the meantime you have to be pretty choosy. It's much easier to change Psyker power focus than Construct weapons config. Same with the Crusader, save the three perks you can't respec with a Mind Thingy (the name escapes me pre-coffee).

Pick a weapon for the pets. max the weapon for the pet. beat the game.

You're imagining doing something detrimental and than saying the class is bad because you did that thing.

They are all pretty good. It sounds like you found what you were looking for already in Psyker though.

Promethium bro Crusader is just walk and melt everything. Its the easiest and most reliable class/wep combo ive tried. Is it the most fun, not really. I'm partial to Psyker anything for fun factor.
