Dark Souls 3 has no shortage of unique and fun classes. Changing your class won’t give you immunity to death. However, you might be able to make a dent in your soaring death count. Beginners have it tough due to the base difficulty level of the game.
Choosing a class is all about compatibility. You don’t have to force yourself if a class doesn’t fit your style; the game features enough class options to satisfy everyone.
While every class has strengths and weaknesses, the Pyromancer, Assassin, and Knight are the easiest classes to use in Dark Souls 3.
The classes mentioned above tend to be sparing to newbies in terms of an easier learning curve. It is better to check out every class to find your perfect match.
