Explorer is best choice with best set and items.

The Classes suck
Warrior is basic
"Knight" isn't a knight at all
Swordsman is anime cringe
Bandit is an archer
Cleric is cool but wasted stats on faith
I don't feel like I need to explain Sorcerer
Merchant has weak items
Deprived doesn't have a weapon

Which class is the best for a Jack-of-all-trades?

If shields are so important, why only one class start with one?

If you're going for melee build pick knight class.

If you're a caster pick sorcerer.

If you're confused pick the explorer.

If you're savage pick deprived.

Thank you.

I find it funny that the bandit has 1 intelligence.

Explorer starts with balanced stats + high Adp, free lockstone and consumables, a fast crit weapon, and a stylish beret with item discovery. Truly the thinking man's class
