User blog:KhaoticCarnifex/Pawn Vocation, Skill, and Gear Preferences

The goal of this blog post is to find out what the best possible pawn vocation preferences are and for which play style. I have been trying to keep active in the chatroom asking what people prefer and it seems pretty varied without any real answers on the templates being used and why they are being used. I have read so many articles on how to create an effective pawn; yet they all have differing answers on why they make that pawn and bash another build. Thusly said, the other pawn build being bashed is later held to high regards by another user.

I would like to know what is everyone using for their pawn builds? Can you please display the vocation level training, fighting style, and equipment you are gearing your pawns toward. Also, please list the skill sets you use as well with some form of explanation why. I think this will help in creating a decent article for future use.

What items do you give your pawns as well? I have noticed they use things from time to time (and sometimes too often; like a poison flask; and never at all with like a poison arrow). If anyone has any information leading to why strider/ranger won't use said arrows; please fill me in on this as well.

If this post gets enough feedback; I can make a concrete post later on what the better builds to use are based on playstyle. I have noticed a lot of people ask about this information. There is never a concrete and robust response to give anyone a clear choice in which way to go with a build.
