So I've played for a couple of hours with all 5 weapon styles. While the melee classes are a bit clunky to handle (Be it with KB/M or controller) and the mage being quite underwhelming, I've found the Archer to be faring the best. The game starts with Stealth + Long Shot, which in itself is quite a great combo. Caltrops make sure you're not easily followed, and crits and ccc land easier. I'm enjoying this character the most out of any others, though I still have to give KE mage and rift mage a go. Thoughts?

no just everything else is underpowered

That is ...  one way to put it sure.

Caltrops with FF on is different case.

I loved archers as well.

Yes their DPS is certainly lower but you need to factor into account the fact they can constantly hit without much threat of retaliation.

I don't feel it is clunkiness though as much as it is the fact they are consistent damage dealers and by that I mean they are incredibly reliable.

Daggers on the other hand? Not as reliable cause if they get hit by an AOE then sun run dunnnn.. Out of the picture.

I may switch my rogue to archery. Try this out....

I agree that they are underwhelming compared to DAO/DA2 mages, but they're still pretty powerful this time around. Pretty early on you can start just AoEing most enemies down, and mages are still great for that.

Daggers for me all day every day.

I've been reading that after these advanced trees open up you get much more powerful. I haven't gotten to this point yet.

Played archer on my hard play-through. He didnt have that good burst damage, but the damage was consistent and high.

I was playing Fallow mire with Iron Bull and Sera and switched over to control Sera for a bit and try out archery... She one shotted a bunch of the ghouls and the ones she didn't instantly kill, she'd murder before Iron Bull could reach them. I felt kinda bad for him, he just kept running towards enemies and then they'd die...

I've been using daggers. Have you thoroughly explored both options? I've only tried ranged for about a half hour.

Rogue with Daggers. OP is no word for it. With crafted Tier3 Daggers you're on the 1000dps with the right rune. Yes, 1000.

They are snipers

 

Which is somewhat realistic given the close ranges except: plate and even mail should be able to shrug off arrows at range

I know the DPS from daggers is certainly higher, but your survivability is lower and melee attacks in this game are not that great overall. You spend half the time rotating your camera to hit the target. It is very annoying.

craft something with 3 Guard on hit and you'll be gravy.

I don't know if playing for 5 hours of each class is a good judgment, unless you're playing at higher levels. My Mages was pretty underwhelming until I got to level 8 or so. Now at level 18 she's amazing, and I'm kind of bummed to think about playing as a different class for my 2nd playthrough.

[DemGeth]

Don't even have guard on anything.

 

I just use evade and stealth.  There's a very nice rhythm to this game once you get into it.
