Easiest in what sense? Caster is easy in that you can just hit one button all day, no stance dancing. Melee is easy in that you don't have to think about mana, and can fight till fried.

The best bet is to do whichever you have more fun doing (because the last thing you're going to want to do is introduce anything boring, then the difficulty becomes wanting to play). Second most important thing is creature selection, there are easy mode creatures all the way to cap, likely w/ less loot and other factors like relocating, but... that's the rub.

While you're in the first 30 days (and probably afterwards) you'll want a higher logic, might as well maximize exp absorbtion.

Thanks for the responses , I guess i thought maybe one road was easier than the other. Seems right now both roads are not easy for me . I struggle to hunt right now .
