Posts from Which class do you like best in Might and Magic VIII?

Rangers don't wear plate armor, and Spirit Magic is a starting skill for both paladins and minotaurs, not vampires. Yes, in terms of magic level, the vamp matches the paladin, but minotaurs have those same spells, just at a lower level. Furthermore, vampires are GM in daggers, but what about paladins? And rangers used to possess elemental magic (if my memory serves me right), whereas now there is no one who knows all 7 basic magics, so comparisons based on magic are relative. Minotaurs-paladins had their magic nerfed because they were apparently too strong with it, while vampires-rangers had theirs buffed to compensate for the removal of elemental magic.

In general, if you look closely, in my opinion, a vampire is a cross between a paladin and a thief, and a minotaur is a cross between a paladin and a ranger. As for the dark elf—he's an archmage and a thief, or to be more precise, just an archmage, but not from the 7th, rather from the 6th.

Definitely Dark Elves.

Dragons shouldn't even be considered. They aren't a class; they're more like a cheat code.
A Dark Elf is simply a necessary "unlock," but I'll still traditionally choose a cleric – healing (and especially regeneration) is a valuable asset!

I chose a dark elf. As combat units, they are stronger than necromancers, especially at the beginning of the game, but necromancers have dark magic, and elves only have elemental magic, and even that is limited to the Grand Master level.
For example, my favorite spells are the city portal (near monsters) and Lloyd's beacon, which can only be cast by a necromancer at the Grand Master level.

Definitely the cleric; his spells are extremely useful, especially for fragile Necromancers and rather fragile Dark Elves. Although light magic is somewhat useless.

Aren't you contradicting yourself? In light magic, the three most useful spells are "Hour of Power," "Day of Protection," and "Day of Gods."

Vampires! Definitely, hit-and-run tactics combined with magic are the best.

!!!!!Dragons and Necromancers!!!!!

I personally like trolls and minotaurs, although I don't really enjoy playing as the latter. They're naked, and that makes me uncomfortable, so I usually pick a Knight.

Well, that's the main one, but dragons are definitely a favorite, and I also like playing as a Necromancer.

Of course, a Necromancer!!!!

P.S. I completed the game playing only as Necromancers...

Naturally, it's a troll:)
It's almost impossible to kill him – VM Skin, VM Regeneration, VM Bodybuilding.
He also hits pretty hard – VM Clubs are serious.
He's not a Necromancer and not even a Cleric, but he provides a solid foundation for the party. He might be weaker in defense compared to armored classes, but he definitely excels in magic resistance, which, in my opinion, is more important.

For those who enjoy dealing massive damage, I recommend taking a Necromancer, Minotaur, or Knight in a group with four dragons (the last dragon is difficult to obtain, but it can be replaced by Kauri Blackthorn). As for myself, I usually choose either a Necromancer or a Dark Elf.

dragons and necromancers rule!

Yeah, you take four dragons and don't bother with minor issues like looking at the screen. :smile04:
