Recommended classes for Ifan
Ifan Ben-Mezd works great as:
- Rogue, Shadowblade, Ranger or Wayfarer - because of Ingenious talent, which increases Initiative and a critical hit chance, Ifan is great for an assassin or an archer that needs to move quickly and deal as much damage as possible.
- Conjurer - his special ability, Summon Ifan's Soul Wolf can be greatly enhanced thanks to Summoning ability. When you invest 5 points the Wolf will be able to defeat a few enemies by its own.
