If you dont mind not being amazing, i would consider wind or fire spell druid. Not for any other reason than the graphocs of thise spells are amaaazing
I like the Trapsin for a starter. It’s fun and fast. Burst of speed helps you get around before Enigma, and Mind Blast helps with safety and keeping back immunes.
The fire druid is still a decent option with the physical damage added to the fire skills. I would just prefer the better mobility of the assassin early on.
First they’re bad farmers.
Second, I wouldn’t hold my breath on the charm working with traps properly. These devs really are bad.
Thrid even though fire druid is going to be buffed a bit by the charm it will still be bad. If you like it cool, but I’d grind long before I’d waste time early ladder.
If you’re destined the take that path I would say you’d be best off making the druid. Wind druid is not a choice.
Alright thanks, I just dont want to play another sorc just like 95% of the rest of the players. Its okey for me to be alittle slower.
I am acutally really tempted at a trap assasin or trap/dragon tail hybrid assasin right now.
I would have to adjust my farming spots accordingly of course, but the hybrid build looks like it can deal with immunes pretty good until charm/infinity.
The charm might eventually work and be all good. I just don’t have faith, so I would no start that char until I knew everything worked well. Please remember these Devs are braindead and can easily mess it up. That will cost you time.
Fire druid is the best bet but you need to rush the charm and some other gear.
Wind is not viable IMO.
There are other chars you can play rather than light sorc and make your first char efficient, though for the most part they are all cookie cutter chars. Hdin/ Horkbarb/Cold+Fire Sorc/Java Perhaps PSN necro will be good. I’m actually not sure how to build it now because it is spread between PSN/Fire dmg.
I just would not rely on the charm working with traps is all. If you find out it does later a rush and 1-60 is easy IMO.
I actually used the Trapsin as my starter when D2R was released. Getting through to the end of Hell was good. You’re less squishy than a Sorc. You wouldn’t farm Mephisto like a Sorc, but you can run Eldrich & Shenk, Pindle, and farm keys etc.
