2021 Class Guide for New Players in Neverwinter

we have a new class so it's time for a new class guide for new players an updated one roll it welcome back everyone and to those of you who are new here or new to nevo winter in general then grab a seat and let's go on an adventure [Music] hopefully i can help you decide what class you want to play what class better suits you as a person and your playstyle or at the very least educate you so you can make your own informed decision nobody likes to be told what to play i know i didn't so here you are you somehow found your way to my video either by chance by some dumb algorithm mistake or you literally search for this type of guide either way you're here now what class should you play in neverwinter chances are you already have some idea of what class archetype you'd like to play in games like a healer a spellcaster a damage dealer with a huge sword you get the idea neverwinter itself has many classes who have dual roles in neverwinter they are called paragon paths so you can have one archetype and then have an extra way of playing said class how it works is once you hit level 11 with your chosen class you get to choose a paragon path you have one of two choices as you see here on your screen most of the time for most classes you get two totally opposite to each other paragon pass for example one path can be a damage dealing pass and the other can be a healing path or a tank pass point is your choice has layers to it that you are definitely not aware of as a new player but that is where i come in and that is what i'm here for most players if not everybody wants to play the best class in the game it is in our nature in your nature to be the best you can be so usually people will follow those types of trends that's why in most mmos you'll see a huge portion of the gaming population gravitating to the in quotations best class but for all the wrong reasons of course for some it's the right reasons because they will end up loving that class but to this i say don't be a sheep the point of playing mmos for most people is the sense of progression it's the social aspect you know like making friends sharing achievements and so on people should choose a class based on their character and personality the class you end up choosing will represent who you are your drives your qualities and who you are as a person in general neverwinter has had eight classes for a very long time with one being promised since moses split the c in half [Music] holy cell phones look like bricks back then but now we have nine classes they are the barbarian the cleric the fighter the paladin the ranger the rogue the warlock the wizard and the newest addition the bard all these classes are part of the holy trinity healers tanks and damage dealers which is very common in the dnd world but because all classes have two paragon paths most of them can fall into two of the three holy trinity positions so let me break that down for you and show you what each class paragram path is and what each class can offer you just to help you make your choice let's start with my favorite class the rogue the rogue is a master of stealth who strikes from the shadows with deadly precision rogues are athletic and nimble fighters who outmaneuver their foes before cutting them down to size rogue's weapon of choice is as per usual duel daggers upon reaching level 11 rogues may specialize in dealing damage that's the only paragon pass they have the rogue has two paragon paths like i mentioned earlier they are slightly different from each other but the focus here is what role they play in general and in this case rogues are just a one-trick pony and that's just damage damage and more damage whether it's single target or aoe based sure they have a few debuffing powers to help parties but not enough to define them as buffers or debuffers rogues in the current meta are probably if not the best in the top two best classes when it comes to mob clearing the aoe damage is second to none and they are essential to most groups you can't go wrong with a rogue they are also in the top three damage dealing classes in the game if not number one downside to picking a rogue is that they are squishy and you need to be close to deal damage sometimes that could be a problem but in time when you master the rogue you will have tons of fun next we have the ranger the ranger is a worldwide wanderer versed in archery and melee combat rangers unleash a hail of arrows on foes from afar before closing the gap and finishing them off with some close range attacks rangers use a bow from a distance and daggers when they switch to melee stances upon reaching level 11 rangers may specialize in dealing damage rangers are similar to rogues in one main aspect they both have two paragon paths that are damage dealing sure there are some debuffs and buffs but that isn't the main focus of the class in general the ranger is insanely useful to all parties the mob clearing is really good and their single target damage is probably the best in the game currently especially in the right hands one downside could be the fact that they are the hardest class to play since they switch between stances to get the most of their damage some players find it tedious and too much work while others love the fact that it requires some skill to be good at the ranger class in general definitely can't go wrong with a ranger in your group or parties next we have the fighter the fighter is a warrior who places themselves in harm's way to protect their allies sword and hand and shield held steady the fighter shrugs off devastating attacks and retaliates with vengeance upon reaching level 11 fighters may specialize in either tanking or dealing damage the fighter is a super fun class to play they can deal huge amounts of damage with its damage during paragon path especially good and single target damage but not as good when it comes to aoe damage that is where they lack a bit but as you see here in this clip by my long time good friend minimi they are so much fun and there are also amazing tanks who can handle a ton of damage and keep aggro pretty consistently tanks in general are must-haves in any groups they are very necessary and sadly there are not many of them around to satisfy all group needs so maybe consider a fighter the name sounds cool the damage is fantastic and they can tank sounds like an orgasm to me right that kind of rhymed next on the list we have the paladin the paladin is a righteous defender of the innocent a holy knight devoted to the pursuit of justice the paladin draws upon their faith wielding divine radiant power to deal damage and healing magic to heal self and allies upon reaching level 11 paladins may specialize in either tanking or healing islands are incredible tanks and protectors the paladin in general is a better shielder than a healer at least in the current meta but that doesn't mean they don't do extremely well in both paths remember you are a beginner and as such you will evolve with your class a paladin is always needed as it utilizes the two most important jobs in everwinter which is healing and tanking you will be swatting people away like flies from all the group invites trust me next we have the barbarian the barbarian is an unstoppable warrior skilled with heavy weapons some barbarians hail from savage lands but all embrace their inner beast to become raging hurricanes on the battlefield upon reaching level 11 barbarians may specialize in either damage dealing or tanking the barbarian itself is another fun class to play they use the biggest swords in the game and deal damage with them they can also tank extremely well a very durable class in general personally i still prefer their old name which was the great weapon fighter but the name changed doesn't take away from the class's ability to compete and help parties in my humble opinion i do think the class needs a bit more damage in both aoe and in single target but don't let that deter you neverwinter patches all the time and changes happen often you can't go wrong with a barbarian next we have the cleric the cleric draws upon the divinity of their gods or goddesses to heal wounds and smite foes the cleric ensures that companions make it through even the most harrowing encounters alive upon reaching level 11 clerics may specialize in either healing or damage dealing now this class is a staple to almost all memos they are the best healing class in the game currently and can deal really good single target damage if they use the damaged paragon path they lack an aoe but they are normally not used for damage unless they are running trials playing this incredible class will ultimately always see you wanted for content lyrics are a must have in most groups if not all of them and they are extremely fun to play so being a healer is cool don't you want to be cool bro broad just go for it then next we have the warlock the warlock is a spellcaster who draws power from a packed forged with an eldritch being warlocks weave curses and destructive magics and can even drain the life force of their foes upon reaching level 11 warlocks may specialize in either dealing damage or healing warlocks used to be overlooked and nerfed into the ground for a very long period of time and i am so glad they're in a much better spot today there was a time where you couldn't even see a warlock in any zone let alone play with one in a party but lately they have been extremely useful and in the right hands powerful even they are well equipped for dealing damage and very good at healing as well personally i prefer them as damage dealers but they are above average healers for sure they also have that shadow slip which i find extremely cool so if you like cursing stuff damage doing from a distance and possibly healing then the warlock would be super fun for you next we have the wizard the wizard is a spellcaster whose power is rooted in the study of the arcane to a wizard knowledge provides the means to summon forth weapons of ice in rolling thunderstorms or to simply disintegrate enemies with pure arcane power upon reaching level 11 wizards may specialize in damage dealing the wizard is another extremely fun class to play they control mobs they freeze the ground slowing movement and deal single target damage sadly though i think the class is underperforming at the moment in endgame content in the right hands they do amazingly well and regardless of how much damage they deal or don't deal their usefulness in controlling and killing groups of mobs is incredibly wanted i personally think they need some buffs but that's just me they are one of my favorite classes to play you will definitely have fun and enjoy the class without a doubt and last we have the new class to neverwinter the bard the bard is a versatile adventure the bard commands the power of song to be a powerful healer or a stylish combatant regardless of their path it is a bard's ability to perform that determines how far they can go upon reaching level 11 bars may specialize in either healing or damage dealing the bard like i said is the newest addition to neverwinter the 9th class of the game and as such they are subject to many changes they will be nerfed or buffed and changed as time goes by that is inevitable they're not the best damage dealers currently but they're not the best healers either but they are a jack of all trades and can perform in both passable enough to be useful the fun part about being a bard is their ability to play music play songs you have a free form performance mode where you can play any song you like as long as you know the keys or you can use ready-made songs that the bard already has and quick slot them during battle for various effects like buffing debuffing or healing but come on no or not they play music role playing is a thing in mmos too you know the bard is new and fun and definitely worth a shot especially if you're a d d freak so those are all nine classes which one fits your play style the classes that have damage dealing paragon pass are the rogue the ranger the warlock the fighter the barbarian the wizard the bard and the cleric the classes that have healing paragon pass are the cleric the warlock the paladin and the bard in the classes that have tanking paragon pass or the fighter the barbarian and the paladin so if you like protecting then a tank or a healer would be better suited for your needs if you like damage stealing then all you need to do is decide what playstyle suits you the most a long ass sword cursing stuff from a distance or possibly using tiny little daggers or maybe even a bow or do you prefer healing and keeping your group healthy and alive the choice is yours just keep in mind no matter what you choose there will be backlash and people ultimately trying to put you down occasionally like you didn't tank well enough or why didn't you heal at a specific point in the dungeon or your damage is subpar ignore those people they have a sort of sick desperation in their lives play the game for you choose the class that fits who you are and remember you can always play another class if your initial choice doesn't pan out and feel right for you a leveling now in 2021 a neverwinter is extremely easy so it won't take you too long to pick a class that defines you and once you reach a certain point in the game you should feel so comfortable with your class that the rotation becomes muscle memory thus making you enjoy both the game and your class a little bit more try not let anyone tell you what to play play them all one by one and decide for yourself it's all about fun right especially in this crazy world full of this virus anyways i hope this helped you decide what class you should play because the choice is yours not mine so go out there and kick some butt new player neverwinter is waiting galactic here peace out stay safe
