Baldur's Gate 2 Best Beginner Class
Welcome to my commentary on best classes BG2 for beginners to BioWare's Baldur's Gate 2. The best classes for Baldur's Gate 2 beginners are Undead Hunter, Cavalier and Barbarian.
The best classes to start with, this rests on their key immunities, resistances and special abilities which improve staying power while also maintaining a strong offense.
Overall, these classes are easy to play no matter which BG2 Companions we have in our BG2 Party.
Undead Hunter BG2
The Undead Hunter sports immunity to hold and level drain (two of the scariest negative status effects for newbies) as well as and to-hit and dmg bonuses versus undead, which are everywhere and not easy to kill.
Cavalier BG2
The Cavalier sports immunity to the dreaded Fear, morale-failure and poison along with solid elemental resistances and to-hit and dmg bonuses versus demons and dragons, which are non-trivial adversaries.
Both Undead Hunter and Cavalier get Armor of Faith, Draw Upon Holy Might (Bhaalspawn DUHM is lost post-Spellhold), and Summon Deva BG2 in addition to warrior HLA BG2. They have good saving throws, too.
Newbies are going to treasure their holy avenger, Carsomyr BG2. Thus, these two Paladins constitute the best newbie classes.
Barbarian BG2
The Rage special ability grants blanket immunity to some key negative status effects and a solid STR and CON boost that newbies will like. The 20% base damage reduction is also helpful because newbies are going to take hits no matter what (and it stacks with other DR sources such as Hardiness BG2).
What should the barb dual-wield? Flail of Ages BG2 on-hand and Belm BG2 off-hand. See: Best Weapons BG2.
Why not Berserker BG2? Berserker Enrage special ability inflicts fatigue when it wears off and Berserkers can't Specialize in bows (which is not crucial but it's nice to be able to fire from Tuigan BG2).
