What class is the best?

[Squidstone]

plus, how do you unlock the Paladin?

Cleric can do both melee and ranged. I don't know if that's best, but it lets you try both at the same time.

Paladin isn't implemented yet, as far as I know.

Paladin is going to be unlocked through gameplay, but isn't in the game right now.

cleric feels weak... for mobility and power i'd say wizard. For ease of life i'd say warrior. The tankiest was bard but not sure anymore

[Squidstone]

Thanks for telling me im now currently playing a warrior

[Guri]

Cleric and Necromancer probably the best right now in terms of power. That will probably be changed and possibly undertuned by release though so I'd actually recommend avoiding those classes unless you really like them.

Enchantress just god awful though so until they patch them, definitely avoid them.

Wizard has been the best for me so far, especially after the patch that added the dragon pet.

Ranged > Melee right now, and the Wizard, while having a lot of pretty useless spells, also has a few amazing quality of life spells. I don't know if I could ever enjoy playing again with my fully upgraded teleport ability.

thank you for tellig me but the funny thing is i just started a wizard playthrough before you commented about it.

All classes have their own uniqueness about them.. Ie. rogue can stealth, warrior has dash and whirlwind, wizard has teleport and drake familiar, necro has flight and pets, etc.. Each require diff play styles that compliment their abilities they are in a state of flux right now being early access and subject to change.. Try them all out and choose what you like the most IMO .. So far I like them all but for diff reasons.. Only playing the "best" of something severely limits your options to find your own " best" idk

My wizard is almost lv 40 on Hardcore
War is nice but a bit weak in dealing with mobs, whirlwind is not the best... maybe if it reflected projectiles...
War is hands down the easiest for carving out a base, dash in a straight line and boom you got an area to plant crops or live.
Bards was the tankiest and had good defensive AOE until the nerfs

The biggest problem for me are the floating bosses and mobs are hard to deal with as melee

I think the ability to fly of the Necromancer screws a bit with the game. I think it's a bit overpowered in terms of exploration and even in battle. I think it should be in an Ancient Item for all classes.

There's a runewords for flight. Done get 1s movement skills that are better.
