"Knight has the most poise out of any class"

Start with nothing, it makes everything you get awesome.

Top 5 best classes:

I really like the Pyromancer class because I feel like it's got a good balance of stats that allows you to become either a powerful spellcaster with good melee, a powerful melee fighter with good magic, or somewhere in the middle

The Mercenary has the most useful starting weapon (Sellsword Twinblades) by a long shot. It's extremely fast for short R1 attacks, meaning you can dodge or turtle more easily against bosses while steadily getting their HP down, and the L1 two-handed combo is brutal for killing common enemies before they can react.

New to Dark souls & still started as deprived. just made sense to me for that rpg experience.

1:05 "As you can see the Knight has the most poise"

Best class for parry gods/noobs destroying Gundyr: Assasin. Best class for overall usefulness/least limitations early on: Knight. Best class for respec: Deprived becuase you have the least restrictions level wise

Sorcerer is really good for defeating Gundyr. Literally just soul arrow and run. I actually defeated him without getting hit and DS3 is my first Souls game.

there is no best....there is only......git gud

Deprived is the best one for the long run, you get the most customization with your class since you start at Soul Level 1

I actually found my Deprived to be one of my bests. If you can make it past Gundyr, then the fact that it starts at level one means that you'll be able to get more levels right away due to them being so cheap, and since all your stats start at 10, it puts you at a somewhat decent place to start building it into whatever you want!

For me, a starting class does matter. When I roleplay in dark souls, I create a backstory and everything for my guy

hmmmm starts with thief

I thought Pyromancer was the best. The fireball is really useful early on.
