We’ve cooked up some statistics highlighting data from the opening weekend following launch and prepared a handy infographic outlining player choices, actions, deaths, and the like. Some inspiration as we head into our second weekend, if you will.

    Well the class selection ain’t surprising.

    The cleric is someone everyone wants in the party but nobody wants to be.

    […]

    But then again they are so versatile you can have a party entirely Made up with clerics and call them the A-Men who can bully Tiamat for her lunch money who would rather built a toilet to give herself swirlies. And now you know how to play cleric, you’re welcome! (Dainty music)

      Cleric is probably a harder start than wizard.

      Wizard at least has great damage cantrips. Cleric is mostly stuck using sacred flame against hordes of high dex goblins.

      Once you get spiritual weapon it starts ramping nicely and by level 5/6 it’s nuts.

        A cleric can be a competent martial class for the beginning of the game. Falls behind true martials after those get extra attacks, but by then clerics have 3rd level spells.

    I like that they released this. I am the most basic having first picked a Half-Elf (sorcerer, no less). My SO picked Githyanki (bard) so he gets more unique points. The Astarion rejection section is hysterical to me!! Also, I cannot believe hundreds of people beat the game in a weekend? Mindblown.
