I’m a new player, been playing this game for a week and i’ve decided its time for an alt due to the limited stuff i can do on my main at the moment. I’m an zerker main and thinking either a glaivier or a paladin could be an good alt.
What do you think?
Would also apreciate comments about other classes and why. Hope ur having a good day
A paladin or bard is a good alt, as they’re needed in all the end-game raids. Their chaos dungeon clears are pretty smooth and easy and you’ll be accepted in end-game guardians raids as well as support. So good source of materials.
A Gunlancer is also a good one, as it’s a pretty useful class end-game, however, party-wise, if the party is already at 6/8 finding a party might be hard.
DPS works as you did with your berserker, so I’m assuming you understand how material gathering goes.
P.S. any new class will find it hard to find parties as they’re new so I wouldn’t advise on a new class as an alt straight away unless you already have the resources to level that class well.
Any support class is probably the best to go for tbh.
Insta accepted in 99% of lobbies
Really useful, specially starting clown where your team either needs omega buffs or heals
A must for Brel raids tbh - without a supp you’re in for a bit of pain.
Shadowhunter and Machinist are two great alts as well.
They only need two high-level gems
Although accessories can be pricy, they’re easy to get (specially atm)
They are really fast at clearing dungeons and raids since they’re skill-spamming (low cds)
You’d probably love the playstyle if you enjoy playing berserker
Glaivier is fun imo. Very versatile on pinnacle build, does good damage, but needs a bit of investment (needs relic set + good gems for high damage, just like most martial artists).
i have 15 alts. i dont really feel that any classes are that well designed and feel GREAT other than Scrapper Taijitsu. that one they really made fun. its my 1450 5x3 alt but i run 1 of the engravings being Spirit absorb for the movement speed. it makes it so much fun. the only lack luster thing about it is the lower damage numbers than shock. but i really dont like how shock plays
Summoner (Spec - Master Summoner Engraving) - Phoenix go BRRRR in Chaos Dungeon (CD).
I have 13 characters, all 1445 and higher and this is my fastest CD runner.
I only run Guardians with her under rested and I don’t expect speedy finishes for under 1460 iLvl runs.

If you’re set on the Glaivier vs Paladin, I’d advise against Paladin as it can get hella boring unless you like playing supports. Glaivier isn’t exactly winning “fun to play” awards either (it got hyped on release and became an endangered species soon after).
Yes, Paladin does have a “DPS” build, but that’s really not something I’d advise to a relatively new player like yourself.
Supports: best choice if you enjoy them, extremely demanded and only need 3 engravings to shine.
Blue Gunlancer: crazy tanky, super armor (cant be pushed) and highest stagger so no need for pots or ww grenades and everyone loves them for their party buffs & utility
Legacy Machinist: very cheap to build (only needs 2 gems) and has big shield up most of the time
Demonic: also needs only 2 gems
Destroyer: also super tanky with a lot of shields and super armor and a lot of stagger/destruction
Ye ive heard u can burn urself out pretty quick, have just gotten pretty unlycky with zerker trying to cross ilvl 1300 by getting tier 3 from cd, missing hands and they wont drop /
Best alts would be supports, obviously. Always welcome in parties even with suboptimal builds.
Some of the best DPS alts imo:
Tai Scrapper. High damage, ez playstyle, flexible stat spread, high stagger/destruction. Books are $$$ though.
Transformation Machinist. 2 gem class, solid damage, and looks sick. Books are dirt cheap and you have budget engraving options (barricade, stabilized status)
Reflux Sorc. Good damage and mobility. Braindead ez playstyle. Accessories are cheap but books are kind of expensive.
