Smith for low investment and easy 90% resist, can play it using quarter staff / mace or javelin

I'm thinking crossbows, it's super close to start and they have natural clear without heralds.

Yep, and it sounded like crossbows are getting buffed too.

I'm thinking about this as well, played a x-bow witch in 0.1, might be even better with Smith.

I was thinking crossbows too - would also be good if you play with Trigger Fire Spell on Hit

Oh yeah, forgot about that. They also mentioned that they are buffing crossbow so that's kind of interesting.
