Help me come up with this build...

[OldRoshi]

What classes and specs would i need to make a Escanor (Seven Deadly Sins, Lion Sin of Pride) build? One handed/Two Handed Axe, with Solar spells, heavy armor.

[Shadenuat]

Strength Magus or Eldritch Knight (allows casting spells as free action) with bloodlines that gives extra fire damage dice on spells.

Cleric with some dips would probably also work. Domains like Strength, Glory for Enlarge, Legendary Propotions, etc.

Ima newb here, if i were to go respec, what all would i need in stats n such for that? You can add me on steam if youd like instead of this so itd be faster to chit chat :p

Aasimar probably with like 18-20 Strength, high Charisma, probably Scion. Not sure about 1-handed axe tho.

i was thinking youd need an offhand to be more efficient with spells dont you?

[Shadenuat]

If you want to combine spells with attacks that is true yeah.

So i would probably need to go heavy into Eldrich Knight right off the bat? Im new to this game, so im not sure, but isnt that like a tier 2 class where you have to have alot of prerequisites?

Nah EK can cast without free hand. Magus tho needs free hand. Since you're new and probably don't play on very high difficulties I recommend just trying some Magus build with fire or copy Regongar build. Regongar is a very classic Magus, just replace scimitar with axe and you'll be fine. For roleplaying you can pick divine bloodline.

I'm sure in like 5 microseconds InEffect would see all this and write you a battle ready build or something, and you can check GoG forums for builds too or ask for a build. I just don't write builds and play in a very random way.

Fair enough, i need to @him in here so i can have it lol, im trying to play with the builds and find something that suits me, ima animeweeb and im trying to get three people in my party, a Escanor themed, a Goblin Slayer themed, and a Garo themed monk.

Do swordsaints get access to heavy armor? Dont see the perk... all the others do.

[Harukage]

Sword saint can't wear armor.

[Shadenuat]

Sword Saints can use Light armor.

[Harukage]

SS is not proficient with any armor. Canny defence feat though allow you to use light armor and still get AC bonus from Int. But you need to take proficiency feat, or dip a class with it.

[Shadenuat]

Yeah I meant their bonus works with light armor.

[Orange]

Lord Escanor would definitly either be a Paladin ( but no explosive fire spells ) or a Cleric of Fire\Sun Domain ( its simply a matter of taking feats for heavy armor + martial proficiency )

Goblin Slayer is either a Slayer wearing medium armor or a Ranger without animal companion also wearing medium armor

Garou seems to be a regular Monk, albeit LE

They can. Whether they should is questionable, as there are +8 AC bracers in the game. Even if they don't dip monk, Censor's robes add +2 Dodge AC on top of that. Or you might actually play caster focused and use Leviatan's Robes or the Robes of Arcane Annihilation.
