Hi everyone,
I'll start with a little bit of context about me. I'm an old time gamer in my early 40s and a happily married dad of 2. Most of my now dearly precious gaming time is spent playing games online with my brother who's got a similar profile. We play almost exclusively RPGs and often miss the games of old, and decided to dive into Sacred 2 which is a title we missed back in the days.
Just typing this to apologize in advance if my request for help sounds lazy. I would absolutely understand and get where you veterans are coming from.
Anyway, we picked up the game and dove right in for a couple nights now, expecting our relatively extensive RPG experience to cover the basics for us. We're having a ton of fun exploring and doing quests together but DAMN, we (and especially I) are super confused about character building.
I lack the time to do proper research like I did back in the days, which is a shame 'cause it's something I used to enjoy a lot. I have been reading and intend to read a lot more as I go but again, time is precious, and I'd rather spend as much time as I can actually playing with my bro. And so I turn to you.
My brother picked Shadow Warrior which seems a straightforward enough class. Temple Guardian immediately picked my interest and despite the game warning me it was more aimed at experienced players, I went through with it.
So my first question would be, was it a really bad idea ? Is there another class I should have picked for a more casual experience ?
One reason that convinced me to pick it is that it seemed like a good support class while bro's seemed like a DPS type. I also thought the arm gun meant it was a ranged class which seemed like a good idea for a duo. I am not so sure anymore from what I've read though.
I'd be grateful for any tip, advice or build you guys would be willing to share, in context to what I typed here. If there exists a relatively no hassle build that I could follow or at least carry me low-mid game before I catch up in knowledge without screwing my guy for late game, please let me know.
Cheers ~
