Any reccomendations?

[Soven26]

Hi I picked up TQ again after a long break. Starting from scratch already have Xmax installed and I plan to use it. I am asking this question I would like every class (rouge Hunter exc.) only once if possible. I know I will double up on one of them due to Dream coming with IT. What I am looking for is 1. Dual Wielder, 1 Primarily Shield user, 1 Archer (maybe spear/archer hybrid), 1 caster focused, and finally 1 pet master. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again

If you like the 1H+shield you can't go wrong with conqueror :)

To Adre, yes i would want to play a 1h + Shield. A side note, I would like to play each class to Legendary. Also wouldn't conqueror take up the def and warfare slot? As stated I would like to only repeat one class (like warfare, hunter, rouge) due to the addition of dream.

My suggestions are

Dual Wielder: Spellbreaker (Warfare/Spirit) - probably the easiest DW build, given the Deathchill tree and the Liche King

Caster: Conjurer (Earth/Spirit) - the auramancer with unstoppable Ternion (see the "pwning with Spirit" thread) - the two strongest pets are a bonus, as are VO/Eruption

Petmaster: Ritualist (Nature/Dream) - the combination of ToC + Mastermind on your wolves makes them almost unkillable

Archer: Brigand (Hunting/Rogue) - makes a good bow/spear hybrid build - very high max damage from Lethal Strike (can sometimes one-shot Typhon, apparently)

Shield user: Paladin (Defence/Storm) - this is what's left (I've never tried one).

I can vouch for the first three as awesome builds. Apparently a Haruspex is a "better" (tougher/higher damage/etc.) bow/spear build than a Brigand, though I haven't tried one. If you want to do that, you can go Earth/Storm in your caster slot to avoid repeating Spirit (which makes you a proper spellcaster rather than a staff-user - can't remember what this build is called - Elementalist?) and that leaves you Defence/Rogue in your Shield User slot (no idea what that's called either). Or you could go Earth/Rogue, or even Defence/Earth + Storm/Rogue - but I have no idea about any of these.

Thank you Magnate for your input, I hear the archer you recommended is a good trap class too. So I will go with what you recommended. For i also have read that Paladins are actually quite good as well. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to this.
