What is The Best Class for Beginners?

One of the best choices for beginners is a Necromancer focused on summoning (Lord of the Dead skill tree). This character doesn’t require high skill to use, as most damage comes from summons. Those undead will clear the stage for you, but what’s more important is that with their help, it’s easier to reach the end game.
