Starting after Big Bang because Solarboy threatened me with a knife to do so.

This technically depends on what you are amining for.

If you aim to be my Partner, I would recomend you a paladin, High defence = less pots = less money spent.

I do not recomend an Evan or Dual Blade, since those require NX to be decent (evan needs it FAR more)

You may wait and start a mechanic or battle mage, those look like something you would enjoy, Mechanics have high defence, and Battle mages are overall preety fun.

Or you can dit bandwagon.
