First character dilemma - best for farming/grinding (PVE)

VoltageFoth · December 2017

I've dilemma about 2 classes for now - Magblade and Magsorc ... Both are really nice and I really don't know which one to chose. That is why I need to ask someone who have idea which one of this 2 or maybe something else is best for Start (I don't want to play 1000 characters ) - mainly i play PVE ... So I want to get how much money I can from the farm/grinding to get some EQ...
I mainly play solo for now.

The good thing for me about magblade is that he have cloak + hp drain but in next site Magsorc have best AOE, let me know if you have any Ideas or have more experience in those classes and maybe someone will give me an good idea : )

THANKS!

I started with sorc. Tried to go without pets. But I didnt like it. Its hard to stay alive. But when you do use a pet and hardened ward, you have to put them on both bars so it always felt like I didnt have enough slots for skills. It made the character boring to play. Shes stuck at level 45, I will probably change her to pvp.
I made a stamblade and Im finding her way way more fun. And although everyone says mag sorc is suppose to be easier, I find my stamblade easier, Im breezing through content that I had struggled with magsorc.

Magsorc easily

a) Best first vMA class
b) Amazing AoE for grinding
c) Big shield + easy self heals
d) Few active skills (double pet or inner light + bound aegis)

You can also farm materials pretty easily.

I have a sore and no pet. Only level 39. I use a resto staff on back bar for a heal and it seems to keep me alive and get the mobs down. Can even do delve bosses by myself.

I had issues when I used a pet..mostly pathing problems cause I like to jump off/climb up stuff and my pet would take the path and drag all the mobs with them.

For now with leveling I'll stick to having a resto staff on the back bar until I get better.

Magblade - A bit hard (but fun IMO) but it will force you to learn how to animation cancel properly. (Assassin's will ftw)

Petsorc - Relatively easy + a bit boring but that's my opinion.

I prefer magblade. In practise it's been faster in farming and grinding than petsorc, mainly because of it's better resource regen.
