⬇ Tell me your favourite class! ⬇
I'm still trying to figure everything out, but I decided to play either vagabond or samurai. Vagabond because I love knights and Samurai because swordsman and a bow. I like the combo of both :D
I've been using a prisoner that's either dual wielding the special katanas (moonveil/meteoric blade)that scale on int and dex or has the moonveil katana in one hand and staff in the other. I also like the samurai but it hasn't been quite as easy mid game (i.e. around the time you fight Radahn)
I play confessor as a reaper and heresy of shadow (it just a made up name) but yeah i enjoy with incantations
Wretch, secret op for physical builds and I chose prawns for my starter. I'm level 73 now and I love it, I stealth clubbed my way from the bottom and it tastes so good getting a good kill in
I'm going for a dragon priest build and it's coming along decently
If you are considering playing as samurai because of the katana, just pick prisoner and equip Moonveil Katana which is great with INT + DEX build. You literally can slash enemies into pieces.
Nah I want to dual wield katanas as soon as possible
@@MF_RUNE Thanks for answering my question. Was wondering if the samurai or warrior was the best way to go to be able to dual wield katanas!!! Im sold on the Samurai then
@@DJEasybuckets Yeah, with the samurai you can get dual Uchigatana even before getting torrent if you go to the Deathtouched Catacombs in Stormhill, Limgrave. You don't have to kill the boss.
I love prisoner because the magic and Melee combination and I just make multiple characters
Bloodhound's Fang midgame --> Moonveil
I wanted a stealth/sniper class but Bandit seemed too difficult so I went Samurai to get the longbow. Glad to see it on the top! Solidified my decision!
Good choice! How you finding the game?
Every class can use a bow 🙇♂️
@@jessesmans9791
Yes, but not allof them start out with one or have the necessary starting stats to use mist of them properly.
@@camomoose1078 can all of them do the fire bow?
I gots to admit bandit is a tough cookie, I was doing chip damage to the boss.
But I like the instant backstab death.
*Me before watching this video* "I'm going to play as the wretch!"
*Me after watching this video* "That was very informative..... I'm going to play as the wretch!"
I lose respect for anyone who doesn't chose wretch. Are we even playing the same game?
@@tjmoon1857 to be fair if you want to build an optimal build for PVP at the meta of 150, you won't be picking wretch. A totally PVE playthrough though? yeah you should pick wretch.
Thank you so much for this video I literally just bought the game yesterday but also haven't had much time to play at all and you're video has helped me decide on what I want to play as since I want to have spells but also use a weapon
Glad to help! Have fun out there
I can honestly say that warrior class is worth investing in. High DEX along with a high VIG (if upgraded) makes you beefy and easily makes combos more effective, and with a flame frenzy incantation, I’ve been clearing through all mainline bosses like nothing
I think Samurai is best even when you want to go for faith or int and you want to keep it open for respec. Because he has no wasted points in attributes that you dont need
I wanna say that I actually love the warrior class and even though Ellen ring is my first FromSoft game, I've picked up the warrior on my first play through and I love it! Great video btw 👍👍👍
"Ellen ring" I feel you
I picked Warrior class to I really like it
I picked warrior class and have a great run, but it's definitely bad in the beginning
Went warrior , love the dual wield fast attack play style . But yeah it def takes getting use to
Wretch is great, you can build and respec all directions equally, where other classes you'll be under built on certain stats if you want to respec to 1.
Your kinda wrong samurai and vagabond are the most OP classes endgame for best stats, samurai if you want to be a caster and vagabond if your using weapons, wretch doesn’t compare to them endgame as u have to waste lots of points to be able to use any weapon. The math for this has already been done by many other streamers as well.
@@suprememaddox6936 That's two different classes to be OP in two different disciplines, dedicating yourself to one or the other. Where the wretch has freedom to pivot in any direction equally, you may not get quite as OP, but you can still build pretty damn strong.
I pray this doesn't become the most up voted comment because it's factually wrong.
Look at how much stats you get from other classes. Although they start at level 12 compared to level 1 of the wretch. They have more than 12 stats over the Wretch.
So even if a wretch puts his 12 points to try match another starting class. It will still be less stats and he will already be level 12.
@@RagnarokMic Agree 100%
@@RagnarokMic I agree with that sorry I thought you meant what class could be the most op
coming from a guy whos played almost all the soulsborne games i could say that hero is easily my favorite. my first run was a prophet which i stopped after killing radhan cuz it felt boring but i managed to first try both margit and the grafted guy within 2 hours of my hero run lmao
What stats did you focus on for your hero build?
This was so helpful yet quick thank you!
I just started playing, and I dabbled with a few classes until I tried samurai, and the combination of decent weapons, decent armor, and decent stat spread really made it feel like a different game.
This is the first Souls type game I've ever bought...i tried Nioh but my god...wasn't my cup of tea..however this caught my eye and I figured...may as well give it a shot.. I like being super tanky and though Vegabond would be perfect but..I didn't feel tanky..then I tried Astrologian...the fact that mana doesn't regen threw me off and here I am dying while poking things with a stick..I know i suck but man this game is fun regardless..guides like this help me a lot..so thanks :)
1. Wretch - Love the rags to riches concept.
2. Bandit - Really hard class but really rewarding
3. Samurai - Good starting stats and gear
4. Astrologer - Magic is op
5. Confessor - Versatile class
6. Prisoner - Love the spellsword playstyle
7. Vagabond - Easiest and beefiest class.
8. Hero - Great for meat brains like me
9. Warrior - fun class yet the grind is killing me
10. Prophet - Just don't dig spears. Although one of the best classes for late game especially with those dragon incantations.
yeah the casual doing the video needs to git gud. Your list is light years ahead of his.
Ye me play hero
I did a DS 1 run with spears only. I hated it. As soon as I finished it, I dumped my stuff on my son's character and deleted her. If I ever play a prophet, they would not be keeping their spear for long.
ive been playing the bandit but it just doesnt seem strong you get as little tiny knife that does like no damage but the bleed is nice the bow is mediocore at best and you think since its frail and doesnt have a lot of health the back stabs would be good but there really not and instead of giving him a unique bleed bulid other classes have it as well
Not that it would have changed the list much but I do think the long term build flexibility as a base should have been an aspect covered. Maybe talk about some directions each in inclined to go towards. That was it would have covered the first 40ish hours of the game and given some good info for people making their choices more so than just the first 10ish hour experience.
Great video though.
Thank you for the list just brought the game yesterday and wondered what class to pick.
i would say wretch would be my number 1. just because you will have all rounded stats, but also can customize it into any other class
I can’t believe so many people don’t understand this!
Lowest starting level... don't forget that. No gear.
2:08
The great knifes damage isnt as bad as it seems.
The weapon in itself doesnt hit very hard, but it procs bleed which will allmost double its damage.
And because of how bleed works its great against bosses.
The bandit is also able to use the reduvian the moment he gets it, its a very strong unique knife dropped by yura in limgrave, the starting area, that scales very well with arcane, the bandits main stat, and the stat that improves bleed procs.
Nerijus drops it! But Yura helps you get it
Ive actually heard that bleed doesnt scale from arcane but in fact the main stat the weapon you use scales with which is also why the uchigatana with samurai can get a bunch of bleeds off on some bosses too
@@vampirekassell9541 bleed on normal weapons doesnt scale with anything , bleed on weapon with arcane scaling will scale with arcane
@@vampirekassell9541bleed, sleep, madness, poison all scale off arcane.
great knife with bloody slash ash of war (blood affinity) gives high arcane scaling. (Fort Haight)
The wretch is not a meme it's a class that's been around since demon souls although it's gone by different names the point of that class is to start at level 1 and be able to build your character exactly how you want them, I'd say Alden rings probably the best game for this class because you have so much open-endedness you could straight up avoid a lot of the real challenges early on to find gear
Thats true but even the smaller enemies would be a challenge at level 1 but i am thinking of doing this when i do a 2nd playthrough
@@vampirekassell9541 I've played the wretch... its actually easier than you would think. Since you start at level 1 you level extremely fast in the beginning. And if you know where there is some starting gear than you can quickly level up to where you would start if you had selected any other class.
@@alexoelkers2292 i wont deny that but its probably a lot harder for someone who hasnt played a souls game before since they would still need to time the dodge rolls etc even against some smaller enemies but it does seem like a fun class to play with which is why i will be using it when i start a new game
I haven't play wretch as well, with the bird foot that increases drop rate. (Not too, rare) The gear and yellow eye spawn rate allows for fast pickup.
This is my first game in the souls series and my friends told me to pick the wretch as a meme. Definetly had some fun in the beginning hours of the game but i ended up switching to a samurai because i wanted an easier time learning and playing. Though I switched id go back and play my wretch cuz i went ahead and merked the tree sentinel off the rip.
Started with Samari.. really liked the look. Plus Katana, sheild and bow to start were hard to pass up. Im new to Souls so I needed all the help I could get.
That's why I watched this vid. Not a pro gamer by any means and need all the help I can get when it comes to Fromsoft games.
Good quality video. Straight to the point and articulate. Subscribed.
Thanks mate!
I’m running the Prisoner with an Uchigatana, it’s a fun build, and very versatile when it comes to approaching a challenge. Do you lean more towards magic, or melee with your build?
Check our my Mage Knight build video. It'll answer all you questions 👍
I started as Prisoner but built him to be a bit more sword and shield. I like the flexibility to use my magic if needed. Probably not how that class is supposed to be as I think I've only leveled up INT a couple times from the start
I started as a bandit because I love the high arcane and light armor load for performing quick attacks. Because of the high arcane, I pilfered so many pieces of armor and weapons to my liking early in the game.
This should have more views! Great job my man!
I started as a Wretch and it was super easy as I farmed all the Godrick soldriers in the begining I was already equiped with full armor set, a longsword and a shield. They had a perfect drop rate for me. And you start as a level 1 so it is super cheap to level up in the begining.
This comment is probably way to late and you are better at the game now but the Godrick soldier armour is worse than a lot of the starter class armour
@@turtleturtle1767 true but the soldiers are already at the beginning. plus the wretch is naked. Getting a full set should be wretch priority.
Started with Wretch; No regrets. It actually wasn't that bad. If it was Dark Souls I'd be eating my own ass every encounter but with Elden Ring I can go off and do a little bit of grinding. It was pretty fun ngl. Though lvl 41 and my build is kinda wonky.
The deprived/wretch is not bad in any of the 3 dark souls games because the club is a great pve weapon. The bandit is the worst in basically every game unless you can parry.
I chose wretch to begin with, at the start i kinda regretted it but the more powerful i became the more proud i got and realized that i enjoyed the freedom it gave me in the early game to level up how i wanted. I did regret never putting points into vitality tho.
Thanks for the tips, I was pondering switching from the samurai
I went astrologer and leveled dex with my int. Stumbled on moonveil after godrick and super happy with build. Just entered Liurnia and have 25 vigor, 12 Dex, 12 int, 20 mind, 28 int and 24 dex. Left arcane and faith alone
Man, idk… I started my first play through as a warrior and it’s going pretty well… just pumped my first levels in to vigor and dexterity… then a few points in to strength, grab radagons sore seal, kill Lydia’s dad for his halberd,beast crest shield and I’m rolling 🤷♂️
The weapon prisoner starts with I absolutely hate…I really want a sword and intelligence/Sorceries build but I was scared off from using prisoner because that weird pokey weapon it starts with just is hard to control for me anyway.
Now that I have a bit of experience in the game I may restart with a prisoner or astrologer because I really want to be able to use the int based sorcery in this game.
If you get the 100% shield near beginning, the rapier weapon type is awesome for easy damage on non-large foes.
this video is amazing bro.. thank u! my fav is the astrologer tho😌
I love the wretch, something about starting from nothing made me keep the save file as the one I am currently going through the game with. I restarted a few times trying different classes to get a feel for the game before going to deep into it. Starting with nothing and having to loot and buy your gear is great. Now my man look like a kick ass knight and can take very very many hits...which happens a lot because I suck.
brilliant video, well done!
Thanks mate! What's your favourite class?
I absolutely love the astrologer because of its sheer versatility. It’s so funny to absolutely decimate large enemies with glintstone pebble. With glintstone arc, you can catch multiple enemies with one sweeping attack. I’ve been wanting to play a samurai for a while now, so I’ll probably do that in a speedrun or rerun. It’ll probably take a bit of getting used to though, considering you can’t use magic
Doesn't have versatility:
Lowest hp, low stamina, lowest strength, lowest faith
For sorcery or moonveil... that is it...period. (astrologer)
Wretch is mostly good because you're a all rounder, 10 everywhere, and fairly customizable since you start at level 1
Nice! I picked the samurai because it looked cool lol glad to see it was number one on the list
Great choice!
I am a beginner and have never played a game from this company before elden is the first for me so i am rlly confused abt which class to take
Any recommendations??
And yea also one more question can samurai do magic?
And can vagabond do magic?
And i am confused between samurai vagabond confessor and astrologer
So any recommendations and answers for my questions would be great.
Funny thing : Not bought yet,but I want to go archer- build and my first two choices was bandit or Samurai and after a while I decided when I will be able to run this game( unfortunatelly not very soon :( ) My first attempt will be Samurai.
Cool video. This is my first FromSoft/Souls-type game I've ever really gotten myself into and having a lot of fun with it, even though I still kind of suck. Currently playing vagabond. I was thinking for the character I would choose for my next play-through would be the astrologer, but I've seen some people say besides their initial glintstone spells, most other sorceries are ass. Not sure if there's truth to that or not, this also might have been before balance patches have fixed that.
Sorcery is really strong but it takes a lot of stat investment. For some reason some spells and staves require up to 70 int. While faith on the other hand never asks for more than 50
Man i wanted to try this game so bad haha. Played Nioh before altho its hard but I finished it in no time. Eyes on samurai but didn't know there are so many classes. Prisoner and bandit looks like a choice too
I've tried most of these, and yet I must say, I really like prisoner!
Great versatility, loved being able to use both spells and still be able to do melee combat
for me, i played the wretched hero.. picked hero, discarded everything except the weapon upon starting. Give the wretch early game experience, while keeping the stats I knew I'd prefer i the long run.
Thanks for your video 👍 was helpful.
I assumed #10 was there for speed runners.
I would recommend to use bandit you can get a really good blood weapon early not needing to go stormveil yet the weapon is called reduvia you can get it really early.
I chose the Hero starting class because I wanted to go for a berserker type build...
My logic for doing so was "the best defense is a good offense"
I quickly realized that was a mistake lol.
I chose the prophet cause I wanted to do pyromancy, it honestly wasn't bad at all cause you can get some amazing incantations early, I just beat the game a few hours ago, time for a big hammer strength build
What incantation did u find early game lol I’m playing prophet and only have flame sling 😅😅
@@chupa4554 yeah, that's the only downside so far for me. Even vendors don't sell much even after getting to liurnia of the lakes.
I have 33hrs in. Never have used the Shield counter mechanic. I might use it tho. Someday. I went hero and use a colossal sword. It's awesome
The Warrior’s starting armor is extremely powerful and obviously the best looking. It’s the lightest armor that gives you the best physical damage negation and the most status effect protection. All those stats and numbers are shown in the Wiki
What I would've loved to see is a shaolin monk type class, who solely relies on their martial arts aswell as perhaps a big stick-boi. Maybe some minor spells too
First souls game for me, chose Vagabond because it seemed the most basic (besides wretch) but also the most helpful for newcomers (armor). On my 4th Ng+ and glad I chose it
Are the classes like they are in Dark Souls where it is only relevant at the beginning of the game and you can make any build from any starting class eventually? Or are there any sort of long-term consequences to going with a particular class? I mean if I wanted to go Confessor just to get the neat black hood, but play an Int build... would that work?
I want a tank class that has some healing capabilities preferably ones that heal others like Protection in WoW.
i went for the Wretch because you can level up more detailedly with it
I went into the game expecting to be able to start off with a Vagabond and make a Strength Intelligence build so I can use swords while also casting weapons to be able to mix up combat strategies. BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOK I SEE THINGS saying Vagabond and Strength characters should only go for Incantations and that just confuses me so bad.
Am I missing something why is a Strength Intelligence build not a very great idea? And what about Strenght makes it so good for incantations/faith over Sorceries/Intelligence?
My response for this is ignore what others say and do what you want to do i cant say myself if its good or not since im still on my 1st playthrough but the way i play these games is going with what you want to use instead of what others think is more powerful and if you end up finding out you dont like it you can always respec after the 2nd main boss in liurnia
@@vampirekassell9541 facts it is a single player game so you don't have to compare your build to other peoples builds, you can beat the game with anything
@@bsmoooth3477 yeah but thats how i am with most games like this lol i dont even look at build guides etc i just go with what i like
Throughout this whole video I got even more and more surprised samurai was first in your opinion. I started out as samurai but it’s tough to grasp, thinking about trying astrologer I like long range.
Samurai is basically considered the best by most people I think.
A guy even tested which could speedrun the game quickest and Samurai won that too
Hey Norzza, great contend! I like your lamp in the background, can you tell me the name please?
I play as wretch. Unless you really want that meta build for end game pvp, you won't lose much - it's 2 points in comparison to confessor and 4~5 to most other classes, the only real downside is the astrologer who'll have 8 extra min-max points in comparison to wretch.
Sorry my English is not very good. Do you say that wretch is the best for when you have many levels because you have more points? I will respec alot and want to pick best class for this reason
@@justinmaze6219 Nah, wretch is good only for ropleplaying and when you're not sure if what build is what you want or intend to change it from mage to warrior and vice versa. All you lose is starting equipment that's easily found and a few stats bellow 10 that you would not use on the desired class and could apply on the main stats. The most you lose is 8 points for astrologer to full int build, 3 to 5 on most pure melee and 2 on hybrids.
@@masteroak9724 I just bought the game today and I have no idea what to pick I kinda like the wretch I wanna build it myself and this is my first souls game am I missing much by picking wretch ?
@@DIMAring Hey. No, you're not missing much. Perhaps 2 to 4 points you wouldn't use on the class you want and then, only if you intend to stop into a meta level for PVP where 2 to 4 points can make some difference. Other than that, the wretch have only advantages: You can switch from melee to magic with minor losses compared with starting as vagabond and wanting to switch to full mage or vice-versa, you'll learn to appreciate every piece of equipment you get and all in all you'll have a superior RPG experience if you like the experience of coming from nothing.
What some don't realize is at the end of the game the wrench is the most powerful of them all you start at level 1 and all your attributes are set to 10 where as if u look at the other classes you start with some levels but with higher stats and better gear but doing the math if u reduce any of those classes to lvl 1 most of there stats are below 10
When I saw there was a samurai class I knew that’ll be my class so when I saw it ranked #1 it’s definitely gonna be my starting class
So @NorZZa I am about to but the game and I am stuck between warrior and Samurai. Samurai you had at the top and Warrior almost bottom. Would I be able to have aspects of the warrior as a Samurai, such as dual wield? It would it be more worth it to play warrior and buy a bow?
You can dual wield as a samurai for sure.
I usually go all in strength but with Elden ring I went with a dex bleed build not even knowing how strong it might be and damn my character feels op sometimes lol
I'm usually an all strength player as well. Elden Ring does such a good job of having many different viable builds
So what class do you use? This is actually my first souls game so I'm just looking around at opinions and tryong to get all the input I can you know?
@@smoothielatte I used samurai since his dex was good and starts off with a great starter katana. Go with what feels right. You can respec later after a certain point
@@sikevillian aw thank you so much
@@smoothielatte I went samurai but wish I would’ve gone with Vagabond. I’m into quality builds and like the ability to wear amazing armour not fat roll and still wield a strong weapon.
I'm honestly surprised Hero is so low, it's got the highest Strength and the second-highest Vigor, Endurance, and Arcane (for some reason), with Vigor and Endurance only being one level behind the highest.
I decided between Seikro, GOT and Elden Ring because I love the japanese katana and samurai. Elden ring is the combo of Sekiro and GOT because of the style and bosses. I love it!
I instinctively pickd samurai because of Dark souls 3.. i saw that katana and was like, "Yup first playthrough on easymode, thats this one..."... Lol just bump up faith and int, and then rockshot or the fireshot or whatever.. Boom, Instant unbreakable Spellswordsman..
Then go up on that ledge and grab the other uchigatana.. And then set both for both hand slots, with the staff or bow in extra slots.... theres a combo set designed for using two katanas at the same time.. with low tier ashes i can wreck most bosses in the first go round... And with both katanas equipped, you can still use Unsheathe, or the moonveil's version of a Ranged Unsheathe/swipe slice..
Vagabound Duel Greatsword will switch to a collasal at somepoint. Having fun. Next build will be something magik. I got rid oof the shield asap. couldnt parry or block for shit althought that was the first 30 min or so.
The confessor starts with assassins approach because in the lore the confessors are like the hit men of the golden order, not so much paladins.
I went with wretch so I could build my guy from scratch how I wanted it took a little time but I'm satisfied with what I came out with
I went with confessor bc I'm trying to be a faith/int build and use the sword of night and flame early game
TBH astrologer is better with that early on but eventually they even out later game
Great video,thankyou
was thinking of starting with astrologer and this cemented my decision as i am a beginner to fromsoft games , thanks :))
My fav is actually warrior because you can deal ton of damage by using 2 blades and in the end I got an op blood build by using the 2 curved bandit swords or something
I looked up Wade to LeBron and came to the conclusion… that I’m old if I can still remember it vividly. Anywho, wizards sounds fun. Maybe I’ll play that next.
That Reference was JUST. FOR. YOU!
I like the buckler I start with as a bandit i really like to parry attacks I tried all the classes with parry I struggled a bit with them but that normal but I tried the bandit and the start up is fast while also have large window so even if u parried 2 second to early it still connects
The buckler has its own unique parry with better frames. It’s literally made to be the parry shield
First time ever playing any dark souls like game & I'm having a blast playing as a wretch. Building it up to a tanky spell-sword.
This is my first souls game and I tried warrior, boy do I regret it LMAOOO I think I'll keep the warrior saved for when I beat the game the first time but I'll try out astrologer and go for a Spell sword build
I personally think the warrior should be higher on this list, but great vid none the less :D
Torn between Astro and samurai..tried priest was fun but need something more durable
I’m new to souls games, But any other kind of RPG I always pick a class where i’m duel welding swords I like to be up close to enemies. But because I’m new to souls games “ which I lack the skill to be up close and personal” I chose the astrologer but I’m not happy with it. I’m not big on magic classes, so I don’t know what to do..
Samurai on Torrent, with the Nagakiba katana reach, is so much fun.
I want to play shortbow + some medium melee weapon, like a katana, with a dex build that gives me high mobility and dodge. What should be my beginning class?
Right so Elden Ring is my first Souls game, I started with wretch because I wanted the souls experience, I farmed a few knights in the opening forest and got some gear, the Giant was dead shortly after because of my horse, not a bad class to start of with, just a bit of a grind at the start
I’m literally a noob my buddy wanted me to try a “dark souls” game see how I react now i love it but idk what class I’ve been playing strength build with endurance speed idk what class is good at first so I went with samurai
Went bandit. Thinking of picking another while I'm only a handful of hours in and no longer a COMPLETE noob. But also backstabbing enemies one at a time thru a whole camp is a uniquely fun challenge
Also, my first souls game where I've gotten farther than the tutorial lol
Same here just started,,Did you ever pick different? Been thinking about using magic
@@jollyollieman6145 i did. I went samurai for a bit, now I'm running an anti priest dragon incantation build with a fkton of bleed and arcane
The Astrologer class is a boss wrecking machine. This is especially the case with spells like comet azur where RB becomes the win button.
Exactly , I have killed the first 2 boss without put any effort .
It’s ridiculously strong.
Sorry for my grammar mistakes, I’m French.
There is no other greater class than the one that looks cool to you 👌👏
I have never played a Dark Souls game I plan on playing Elden Ring in a couple days. I was thinking I want to try Confessor as my starting class any tips?
For appearance can u change the armor like have a cloak or a cape on the samurai or is that for a different build
I chose samurai my first time without doing any research and it definitely is an excellent starting class
Thank you so march man!!
Hero class armor reminds me of Assassins Creed Odyssey. I can’t remember the name of the Armor that I downloaded but looked very similar.
For fashion souls I think it looks pretty cool
Nice video! Music is a bit too loud tho
Top 2 and top 1 takes my interest but I couldn't choose at first.because I want to be caster and spearman(Naginata) But I like Japanese Martial arts and swordmanships . So, I chose Samurai. But damn! I think I made a great choice. 😂
I'm not sure I haven't played every single class I think I'm going from Vagabond to Wrech like doing every class in my gameplay but like I said I'm not sure but I just got the game so I started with Vagabond first but I don't some people choose classes that are fitting for the if they want a challenge or if they want to destroy everyone he or she sees in there path but that's my answer so say I'm a noob if you want that's what I say
I started with the bandit because the dude looked cool. I feel badass just slashing and draining blood of enemies
I just bought this, and it's my first Souls game. I picked Confessor. I'm watching the video, and if Confessor isnt in the top 3, I'm gonna yell at you.
#5 huh? How dare you.
I love the Astrology since it's so easy to cheese bosses like Margit with stuff like Rock Sling
You forgot to mention that the Wretch is the only class which can be fully optimized for levels across multiple different builds.
If you pick astrologer for your first playthrough, and want to do a STR build for NG+, you're gonna have to deal with having points permanently assigned to INT.
Wretch is thw true Elden Ring experience as you start off with basically nothing and get such joy when you get an upgrade
Is that a problem? I mean is having points in Int a bad thing?
I've not played Elden Ring yet, but I've done the Dark Souls trilogy and you can always level higher and get more points in those... so does it matter if some of them are placed weirdly?
@@SotiCoto INT is a useless stat if you aren't using spells. You can technically level up more to compensate, but those levels would be better spent going into the correct stats rather than being wasted.
@@Corzappy: Yes, I accept that it is useless, but I'm asking if it is actually problematic, as opposed to just.... nothing. Is having wasted points in Int more of a problem than starting the entire game over from scratch?
I haven't even started Elden Ring, but given most of my Dark Souls characters ended up as overlevelled Master-of-All characters (absolutely god-tier for the Artorias Greatsword, with its 4-stat scaling), I can't imagine it would matter much if, for instance, I start with a Confessor and level it into a Sorcerer.
I think at some level I just want to reject the idea of particular builds being tied to particular starting classes. Strength Bandit, Agility Vagabond, Faith Prisoner. They all seem like delightfully appealing ideas just because nobody anywhere in the entire Elden Ring community seems to even bother mentioning the idea that it might be possible.
