classes

[vorondil]

As a totally general question, what's the easiest class to win with in V? Or, as a more specific question, when do the lessons learned from playing high-hp classes begin to diminish?

I ask this because I often read that warriors are the easiest class for newbs to play, but one of the harder classes to win with.

EDIT: Never mind, thanks much, I just RTFMd by doing a forum search.

It makes a HUGE difference what race you play. Warriors have a tough time activating deep magical devices such as rods of teleport other. A human is really tough. Play a High-Elf for the obvious reasons, or play a dwarf for rBlind and ok magic. Hobbits are good too.

I have personally found that the xp penalty for the "advanced" races is worth it because you stay alive.

Dwarven priests are my favorite, Orb of draining, dispell undead, evil, and the wonderful heal spell. This race, class combo is durable, and has many advantages. Have to be careful in hand to hand combat though.
