You'll think I'm insane, but I really like using Deprived every once in a while to really get the whole Survival RPG feel out of Dark Souls.

As for starting classes, my favorite class at the beginning was Cleric. With the right equipment and fighting style at the start, you can make one hell of a BattleMage esque class in the game (if your a Fan of Elder Scrolls like I am). The Miracles and other healing items will make you an untouchable beast for a while as you cleave away with your Mace. I use heavy armor with my Cleric-and have mine leveled in Faith, Strength, and Endurance
