Thinking about doing another run with a single class party. My first thought is druid, because between the subclasses you can get a good mix of healing, AoE, and tanking. What other classes might work? Is there enough gear to go around for this to work?
I think the game is forgiving enough that you don't have to limit yourself in your choice. There are enough healing potions that you don't necessarily need a dedicated healer.
Fair point. I ended my second run through with sorcerer, ranger, wild shape druid, and fighter. I love the smashing power of the 2h fighter. I just don't know how they'd handle fights meant for AoEs.
I'd go druids. With spor Druid, you get tons of temp hit points and can tank a bit. Shape shifting allows you all kinds of utility in and outside combat. And when you die in animal form, you just go back to where you were before you shifted. Hand full of healing spells. Lots of summoning spells. My one druid gets like 7 summons before most fights start and a few during the fight.
A Monk seems capable of soloing the game. Especially with clever use of throwables and improvised weaponry, positioning and shoves. They get 2 attacks right off the bat, don't need equipment at all, and are strong as fuck.
Of course, you can also just multiclass into every single class at once (even an achievement for doing this without using Withers) and practically do everything, too.
You have alot of the same answers but here is a wildcard. Sorccerer. Spells can complimemt each other very well, for example create water+ice or shock magic.
The biggest problem is, that getting the same equiqement x 4 is pretty hard. But doable in lategame.
Boring answer possibly, but Fighter. Can have each different one lean into defensive, dual-wield, ranged, two handed weapons however you want. Can have one or two be an eldritch knight for magic too.
A lot of enemies in the game have resistance to the blunt, piercing, and slashing so the ability to do some kind of other damage type is important. Some kind of magic would definitely be welcome in a fighter comp.
