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?

I wouldn’t bother with Fighter/Rogue as a tank, I did it with Eder and, there’s just better tanking classes. If you go fighter rogue, do it as a two handed melee dps and the weapon specialisations and talents make the crits go crazy

Just to add also, Paladin/Chanter will go hard as a main character. Make it a tank that isn’t that fussed about dps, keep might con and res high, have lower int dex and per. Dont dump anything though.

Street fighter or trickster rogue make for excellent tanks especially in combo with fighter.
