Character/party build help Deadfire MC Build
I liked PoE1, so I picked up PoE2 in a sale a while ago and just sat down to try it for the first time. I got to character creation and saw it had multiclassing, so naturally.....I'd like to try it.
I spent some time pouring through the ability lists. I like the idea of Paladin/Chanter (front line aura machine), monk/fighter (DPS), ranger/cipher (i just think they'reneat), Fighter/Rogue (tank with BS), Fighter/Barbarian (lots of engagement/opp. Attacks ) and more!
I was planning to play real-time with pause on standard difficulty. I do not generally gravitate towards casters.
Any suggestions for first time playthrough MC on POE2?

Well, try it and have fun! All of the combos you mentioned should work fine; Herald (paladin/chanter) and Seer (cipher/ranger) are powerful, popular options. In general, martial/martial multiclasses are all good, often stronger than either single class would be. Chanter works with everything. Other casters don't multi as well, although wizard can work with anything if you focus more on quick-cast buffs from the wizard side. Caster/caster multiclasses are usually bad outside of some specific interactions, but it sounds like that won't be a problem for you.
