Well i'd like to be able to alternate between 2 main characters. One of them being my cleric and the other being, well not sure yet.

What is a good class if you like to use magic PLUS attacking? I'm thinking of maybe being a wizard or a Tideborn but i haven't really seen much request for Tideborns when it comes to BH's.

Is it worth having a wizard as a second character are they good DD's or should i choose another? My assassin is higher lvl than my wizard so i dunno really..

    I want something that is going to have cool magic skills but also be able to DD. Is wizard right for me?

    I play two characters, but now that I have reached high levels I am finding that I do not really have enough time for both.

    So now I play one character mostly and the other one only occasionally.

    It is really up to you most choose Veno for the easy money making hey can make.Wizards can get into parties as easy as a Cleric.

    well, short description:

    veno - useless, unless you love animals and want to have them ingame
    barb - meh...like to stay there and be hit?
    wizard - EXPENSIVE
    Psy - wanna be different?
    cleric - heal/buff slave

    and now the real stuff:
    Archer - expensive to build. if you don't go for claw/fists for 5 aps you're wasting your time. Being LA needs a lot of refines to be able to tank anything.
    BM - harder to get to 5aps, but permaspark is attainable with a bit of work. From there 5 aps is easily within reach. LA/HA mixed build gives pre 99 a very good def balance (marrows help). Takes a bit of work, but endgame is kinda' squishy to magic classes.
    Sin - king of all. As expensive as Archer to raise his defenses, but the best DPSer in game by a mile. 4 aps is a breeze to reach. Has a lot of survival/avoid death skills, and as his damage raises the autoheal from bloodpaint can be significant. This gives him an edge to archer that has basically no auto heals , making Sin probably 2nd place pre 99 in tanking/solo farming.

    chose whatever you like

    I'd suggest that you try out those classes you've mentioned and see what you enjoy the most.
    Concerning the BH any class can get in easily as long as there is space and/or they already have a Barbarian and a Cleric. You shouldn't worry about it too much. Just choose whatever you like!

    Well, if you like being a cleric, being a psychic or venomancer may just be too easy (and therefore boring) for you.
    Venomancers do tend to be needed in squad though, especially if you somehow get a herc pet.
    Wizards are known for having greater returns in higher levels, so this is great for if you're going to switch back and forth between that and your cleric.
    Assassins are good damage-wise, but since they're LA you may have noticed that they are a little squishy.
    Archers I've heard are okay. They aren't expensive to play, and aren't hard to play, but they are not known for soloing or anything really awesome. On top of that they are also a little squishy.
    Barbs are like the opposite of clerics, but they are equally as challenging to play, and are always asked for in BHs.
    BMs are fun because they are not as squishy as LAs, have a wide range of choices in weapons, and also have AOEs, and can be secondary tanks if you build them for it.

    Okay, that's all I know of that.

    Yes, I love PWI that much. Every class is awesome in their own way.

    No they do not, but a lot of their moves, even the single target ones, are very entertaining to watch. BMs are very acrobatic, lmao

    Sin is short for Assassin in this game.
