I agree with nick. Deprived is best by far. Before i played the game I researched the classes and decided I wanted a STR/FTH build. I was going to choose cleric until someone told me to try deprived. So, I bit the bullet and made my first character a deprived. There are 3 main things you will want for a faith strength build, or any build with magic. 1: weapons 2: armor 3: spells ( If the build uses magic of any kind) now deprived starts with none of these, which may seem like a problem at first. Now in terms of weapons, you find a dagger in things betwixed, and that got me to the 2nd bonfire in forest of fallen Giants until I could get the fire long sword. Now armor, you start off with the imported set, which is fairly light and better than nothing. You can switch it out to the Drangelic set later. Now magic. The two starting classes that start with magic are the Cleric and Sorcerer. There is basically no advantage to choose these for a few reasons. While they start with catalists ( cleric with prists sacred chime and sorcerers staff for sorcerer) you can find both of those items very early on. As for spells, the spells that you start with the classes is heal for cleric and soul arrow for sorcerer. Both aren't very good spells and wouldn't be worth the classes. You can buy heal, med heal and great heal excerpt along with other faith spells from the lady in Heide's tower of flame and you can find great soul arrow in the forest of fallen Giants and you can buy a plethora of spells from a sorcerer in no mans wharf. Overall deprived is the best class hands down, and i have shown you reasons why. The best reason is you start at level one. Which is fantastic. It allows you to build your character however you want without having wasted levels in things you don't need. So yeah, deprived for sure. It may seem hard but if I can do it, you can do it. Before dark souls 2 I have never played a souls game or RPGs for that matter. Once you start playing you'll realize that deprived was the right choice. Have fun and PRAISE THE SUN \\[T]//
