What's the first character you actually did good with? Mine is Velmir, starting with the bow and spear. He's really good at hunting and keeping enemies at bay, The extra reach is gg.

Dirwin for me. Kept those enemies at reeeeaaaaal bay.

Favourite build for him?

Dual wield daggers 100%.

Probably going to be the build I use for the full game when it launches.

My first build was pure ranged weapons. That's incredibly strong, just not as fun.

Went with Jonna (sorceress) and never looked back. Of course with the updates I'll need to do another run to see how much has changed.

Joanna, Geo until stone spikes and then straight pyro

I remember back in the prologue, geo and pyro were very powerful. I'll have to test out a sorceress build sometime soon.

Jorgrim DW axes full DEX - best for me and the most satisfying to play.

[aton-86]

+1 Jorgrim DW axes.
But then I've tried to play as Jonna pyro so...

I'll have to give that a whirl, I think I have a while back, but I'll have to give it a real go this time.

[taitomagatsu]

+1 for Jonna and Pyromancy.

Pyromancer is still one of the strongest builds. You can demolish the troll, without even getting hit.

Level 1: Take Aim
Level 1: Constant Practice
Level 2: Distracting Shot
Level 3: Mighty Kick
Level 4: Elusiveness
Level 5: Dash
Level 6: Sprint Training
Level 7: Anticipation
Level 8: Hunters Mark

Every single attribute point goes into perception.

This is the current build I'm running with. In combination with nets and claw traps nothing can even get close. After getting "Hunters mark" the troll is doable. Just enchant for resist control and avoid getting hit by the boulder.

After level 8 those skills are good choices: Peak Performance, Spot Weakness, Precision, Headshot, shoot to kill

[Black Mist]

pyro/2handed hammer working good now

[Bojji]

Staff athletic Velmir, it was a lot of fun.

This was after many jogrim attempts of the same build but i couldnt get early game done. 30% crit + the weapon damage on every kill still sounds juicy tho.

[Stirling]

Velmir spear/crossbow, build allows you to minimize damage taken 90% of the time.
