The Convergence mod for Elden Ring is really big. It is an exhaustive overhaul of Dark Souls 3 with dozens of new weapons, hundreds of new spells, extensively revamped areas and maps, improved visuals, new enemies, bosses, and much more. In addition to the countless changes it makes to the game's progression systems, crafting systems, enemy variety, and equipment.
There are 27 new classes in this new mode to try out. Each new mod class Elden Ring players can try feels completely unique, and each starts in a different part of the world. Choosing the best starting class Elden Ring Convergence offers is as difficult as ever.
Of the whopping 27 new classes available in Convergence, Elden Ring players may find these ten options are unique and offer more rewarding gameplay than the other 17. The Convergence mod is really well balanced in general, and there aren't any truly terrible classes, but these 10 are arguably the ones players should try first in the mod.
1. Dreadnought
The Dreadnought is a new class introduced by the Convergence Mod. It is a heavy armor class that focuses on STR and END, making it a tanky and powerful melee fighter. It starts with a Dreadnought Axe and Shield, which are both very sturdy and effective weapons. It also has a Dreadnought's Helm and Armor, which provide high physical defense and poise.
This class is a good choice for players who enjoy using these Elden Ring items (heavy weapons and armor) and want to be a formidable force on the battlefield. However, it also requires careful timing, positioning, and stamina management.
2. Stormcaller
The Stormcaller is one of the new classes introduced by the Convergence Mod. It is a Sorcery-based class that specializes in lightning and storm spells, such as Storm Spear, Storm Orb, and Storm Veil. It also starts with a Stormcaller's Staff and a Stormcaller's Ring, which boosts the power and speed of storm spells, respectively.
This class is a good choice for players who enjoy using magic and want to unleash the power of storms on their enemies. However, it also requires careful positioning, mana management, and awareness of enemy resistance.
3. Volcanist
It can use a special skill called Volcanic Eruption. This skill allows the Volcanist to unleash a powerful blast of fire from their staff, creating a large crater in the ground and sending lava and rocks flying in all directions. This skill can deal massive damage to enemies caught in the blast radius, as well as setting them on fire and causing them to panic. However, this skill also has a long cooldown and consumes a lot of mana, so it should be used wisely and sparingly.
Another unique feature of the Volcanist class is that it can use a special item called Volcanic Ash. This item can be thrown at enemies or the ground, creating a cloud of ash that obscures vision and reduces fire resistance. This can be useful for setting up ambushes, escaping from danger, or enhancing the damage of fire spells. However, this item also has a limited supply and can affect allies as well, so it should be used carefully and strategically.
4. Starcaller
The Starcaller is another new class introduced by the Convergence Mod. It is a gravity-based class that focuses on MND and ARC, making it a unique and mysterious magic user. It starts with a Starcaller's Staff and a Starcaller's Ring, which enhance gravity's power and speed, respectively. It also has a Starcaller's Hood and a Starcaller's Robe, which provide decent defense and gravity resistance.
This class is a good choice for players who enjoy using gravity magic and want to manipulate the forces of nature. However, it also requires careful positioning, mana management, and awareness of enemy resistance.
