what class you gonna play and why?

i will do my first class sorcerer for my solo playthrough and go with the storm ascendy i been playing casters only in PoE for atleast 6 years they got the most flashy stuff but il also play witch the infernal ascendy when il play with my cousin transforming into mommy demon is pretty attractive and i wanna play around with that new flame resource see if its better than mana managment or not

Some kind of totem build for sure, I always loved them in the original path of exile and after years away from the game I'll be bringing them back! :)

I just don't know what kind yet, I'm leaning towards spell-based but we've really only seen Ancestral Totem and Shockwave Totem but both of those are more physical.

Witch, because it's my favorite class. I also want to test out the new "vision" about minions.

After that Monk, 'cause it's new and flashy.

I’m considering taking each class through act 1 and 2(ascend), then figure out which I want to hit maps with. I’ll basically be playing SSF so no economic pressures exist.

I'm feeling Mercenary start, probably going to throw as many grenades as possible.
Not sure which ascendancy yet. I'd need to see all the nodes in both of them before I choose it this early.

Likely Chayula monk with MoM & acrobatics using a staff. There are some potential fun interactions and it just seems very different from PoE 1 stuff.

Witch

The idea of tinkering something unique with minions - makes me awake at dark nights

I think some sort of Shield Wall Titan build, because I love Sword + Shield styles and just charging into enemies. Plus being able to actively block now is awesome.

Demoness for sure.

Infernalist because Ignite is my to go starter! But I will focus on my pet
