Personally I've always struggled with the agent play style in general a bit (though i did love the Servile in G5) and after looking around it does seem a bit too limiting for what i was thinking of in a loyalist run. It is most likely viable but i think I'd struggle a bit too much😄 Excited to try it out in my next run though

Wow that's actually a much bigger difference then i thought, had no idea! I think that would rule out the agent for me at least for this run ( might go Agent for my next taker run in that case) since it's already a bit tough playing them to begin with for me without another challenge on top. I think I might be a bit too down on battle shaping after looking further. I remember playing G5 and having a pack of 5 rots and clearing pretty easily but I think I'm remembering the other games too much and looking down on them appreciate the advice!

Just finished a run as a power-gaming Barzite on veteran(which felt very thematic) and was interested in doing a loyalist shaper no canister run, and trying to think of a good thematic way to do that. My current thought process was a guardian, since the early access to the purifying blade feels great with a melee build. However a bit stuck on which type of creation to use for support with their limited magic. Seems that loyalists get the easiest access to battle shaping, but i don't think they would work that great as additional support and the stalkthorn seems way too disposable. I guess my current leaning is fire shaping for AoE support, or would it be worthwhile to just try as an Agent?
