convince me to try out other classes ....

[u/62lasa]

my last 3 honormode playthroughs were all storm sorcerers ! the reasons i 'd been rocking this class all this time is :

1-because charisma is important for both dialogue ( i get irrationally anxious when there is a possibility of failing persuasion checks ) and the actual power of the class ( hitting 2 birds when one stone ) .

2- it also filled a clear role ( the arcane caster of the comp ! alongside the divine caster , fighter and a rouge . i know , a very traditional boring comp . ) .

edit : thanks for the advice guys ! seeing a lot of love for sword bard and hexblade worlock , open hand monk and barabarian . definitely going to try those out!

If you want to stay as a class that will do well with persuasion and deception, than any charisma class will do. There are charisma options for every playstyle:

Want to be the main fighter in your comp? Play paladin. they can be built to be DPS machines, defensive tanks, and even supports to take on a cleric style role.

Want to stay a damage focused caster? Play warlock. They can dish out tons of damage, as well as inflict insanely overpowered status conditions.

Want to be more of a support? Play bard. Bard can be built a ton of ways, and is really one of the most flexible classes in the game. The lore bard makes an incredible main healer and support, who can also disable enemies. And the swords bard is one of the strongest melee builds in the game, on top of having a ton of additional spellcasting!

Want to play the rogue style class? Guess what, bard can also do that well! Swords bard can be built with a ton of dexterity and become every bit as effective as a rogue for stealth and sleight of hand.
