* Though the classes themselves are decently balanced, their availability as recruits are not. There are many competent fighters and 2 very good rogue types to be had, and both rogues + 2 of the fighters are gotten real early in the game. Clerics are harder to come by but still good when you find them. Meanwhile, for offensive spellcasters, you get table scraps. So, to fill the deficiencies left by the recruitable cast, you probably want to be a nuker, summoner, or some combo of the two. Elementalist would probably be my top pick, since it has a decent amount of kapow and its starting summon is the most badass of the lot, but generally, if it wears robes and its description talks about fire, necromancy, ancient spellcraft, or any of that shit, it's a solid pick. | * Though the classes themselves are decently balanced, their availability as recruits are not.

* It really seems like everyone who plays Drakensang firmly believes that you will simply fail to win the game if you do not have a properly balanced party of "some sort of excellent mage, two heavy hitters, and a fancy rogue lad." However, my standard strategy in every game, "have everyone hit things with the biggest weapons available," is working just fine even in this supposedly melee-unfriendly game | |||
* There are three "golden" combat tips, all stemming from the underlying game mechanic that you cannot parry more than once with each hand: 1. Always focus fire if you can. You all attack the same enemy. He can't block you all. 2. Prevent the enemy doing the same to you. Try and get the enemies to divide their attentions so that no more than 2 are attacking one person. 3. Shields are very effective since they give you an extra parry. | |||
