I’m thinking on making a Confessor. It just seems right for me to have the ability to cast spells and get it close quarters combat. i love those types of class.

For me the best class to start as a new player is astrologer. In this game's beginning every enemy can two to three shot you and you will die.This causes most of the new players to rage quit. So starting a class where you can stay at a distance and take down your enemies is always preferred.

I thought this as well. Started off as prisoner, and started slinging spells. It completely trivialized the game. Not a single boss kill was remotely satisfying in any way, because all i did was roll roll roll and spam spells. The game went from "hey i gotta figure out this boss" to just spam spells gg ez win.

I have a soft spot for witches due to my love for horror. So no matter what game I play, Destiny (warlock), RuneScape (mage), Gauntlet, yes gauntlet (wizard)... and now in Elden Ring I chose Astrologer. Has everything I need. Great build opportunities for someone who is very strategical. Long live mage builds.

@Anotherguy1st

Yeah honestly don't understand how Astrologer isn't listed as number 1. Yes you don't get a 100% shield from the get but you can find one pretty easy and you can pick up a katana fairly easy at the start as well, just need a few levels in dex and strength to use it. Honestly most bosses are a joke at range with magic and you start with two of the arguably best spells in the game along with a decent staff to cast them with. Not to mention if you're not fighting at melee range you don't need a 100% shield, hell even if you are you can just dodge well and it's a non issue. I personally don't understand the big push with melee builds, even if I play one I'll at least use some spells and duel wielding seems kind of pointless to me, think I would rather 2 hand and switch back to sword and board, what advantages other than looking cool is two weapons? Combos? Honestly not sure.

I’m a new player to elden ring, well new to the souls franchise, this video has been the most informative for characters iv seen yet, thank you 🙏

Starting class is actually pretty subjective this time. In prior games there was definitely a meta class. In DS3 it was the knight. This time, depending on what you wanna run, the best starting class changes. If want sorcery it's the prisoner, if you want miracles it's the confessor, and the best choice for strength or quality is the knight, while the best choice for dex is the samurai. Samurai also starts with uchigana and the longbow, which probably makes it the best for beginners.

I personally think the confessor is 1 of the harder starting classes cause you don't have any real speciality but it becomes a great class once your able to start your build going

Wait so samurai is the easiest?

No matter what I was going to play the samurai, but now this gives me more of a reason to.

This was my first From Software game and I picked the bandit LOL. I had no idea. I'm doing alright, but every accomplishment feels *epic*. The bow is unfortunately not a general solution. Life saving in some spots tho!

Thanks bro I'm literally about to start the game now. Think I'm going to go with the astrologer

First time ever playing a dark souls style game. Just never got into it before. But I picked my class before watching this and just so happened to pick the samurai, so I guess it works out. Thanks for the info though, I’ll keep it in mind if and when I decide to start fresh after I get a grip on how to actually play the game, haha

Astrology was my favorite. I had lots of fun playing this class , so easy .

The wretch, while the least equipped, is the only level 1 class. The rest vary somewhere between level 8 to 12 (all over level 5). They also start with 10 in all stats, something no other class has. While not the easiest or necessarily the best, I think the wretch is the easiest to customize. I started with an int/dex build and have since gone to int/str/dex with enough faith and arcane to cast most but the highest level of incantations. By using magic on AOW on weapons like The Dismounter or already magical enchanted weapons like the Darkmoon Greatsword. I like how with high intellect (63) adds not only to these already powerful weapons, but ranged magic damage as well. I have a console recorded video of me "kame-a-meaing" about 3/4 of Moghs health. Yes, I do OP attacks on bosses because I suck. 😂

Hi thanks for the vid! I'm a new player to this genre so this helped out a lot. Is there a way to play samauri utilizing both bow and sword as main? Thanks much appreciated

Just got this game after it won goty and boy am I glad that the Samurai sounds so strong because that's what I was planing on playing as

Just started the game with wretch not bad just follow the grace the the first soldier outpost got a feel for combat and the horse and some basic equipment from the soldiers and those weapons have snowballed. I don't think it does trash damage for a base character. I do think it's not boss ready off the bat but it's not trash

I went with a warrior build and I can see the challenge for sure. I’ve needed help with every boss fight through ash summons. I’ve gotten quite good a dodging tho.

Just bought the game last week. Never got into From software games because I knew they werent for me. Started out as a wretch because I wanted to create my own build. It was a greuling first 10 hours lmao

Man I've been wanting to play this game and my brother got it recently. I took it upon myself to want to make an anime character build based off of yuta okkotsu i will say bloodflame blade and the moonveil katana slap as some of my favorite ashes of war/spells.

I started as a wretch and i'm in my first 20 hours of gameplay and honestly i'd say for the first playthrough wretch is the best if you want to have a full experience of the game starting from 0, it makes you appreciate any loot you get and i've tried out so many different weapons and armors i've gotten from loot. I just made my build depending on the weapons and gear i got. The other classes are only better if you already have a build in mind and know what playstyle you want to use from the beginning of the game but i'd say starting as a wretch atleast in your first playthrough would be the best and most fun option. I'm no souls games fan nor do i own or play any of those games but i liked elden ring mainly because of the open world rpg style and for the replayability.

I just wanted to know which class is best for 2hand weapons

I’ve been playing since og ds1 wretch has pretty looking stats so that’s why I use them XD

I think after a week of deciding and starting over repeatedly (its how I do things) this video helped me choose finally! Gonna go with Astrologer. Wait, no... Samurai. Nah, Astrologer. Maybe Samurai? Ooh, Confessor! Hero with pure STR. Stealth/poison/bleed/rot Bandit? Hmmm... Oh man, I'm never gonna pick one. 😂

Wretch is not the equivalent to deprived its actually easier long term because of it's flexible bases and starting level 1 you don't feel like you're wasting levels going for any build

Once i chose one, i then had to look at the stats of the starting classes to see what i could choose from that suits the build I'm after.

First time I tried Elden Ring I did Prisoner and then quit because I was on a crappy Xbox but on my current run I'm doing I'm running Samurai and it very fun 10/10 beginning class

I started as hero was hard at first got the grasp of it....never looking back now....I use blood hound step to get close to mages...pressure them to panick role then use giant crusher and and colossal sword to roll catch works every time😂

If i am a beginner, want as primary melee attacks but also some spells, what class should i choose? Vagabound or Confessor maybe? Samurai can not learn spells right?
