I really don't enjoy rushing to Hero, and if I am going to play something worth playing after my current is gone, I want something that has at least a better than 0% chance of lagging someone, is survivable, requires minimal prepping outside of class/cabal skills/spells, and did I say, can keep folks from just walking away from a fight....
I know theres a rock for every scissors. Just looking for something different... I'll be on my current for a while, so I'd like to see how this thread develops.
I've done Orcs, Meh... I hate low int. Same goes for Giants, but I can work around that for the right build. I've even done two villagers to at or near hero, but never for long.
What else should I try, thats not a bat spamming paladin? thats probably the last requirement no empowerment.
