Hero class, waste of gold?

[Brew]

I just wanted to add to this thread that if you aren't enjoying your Master Peltast as it is, try going into Normal with Throwing Knives. I go in with three stacks of Throwing Knives (72 ammo total) and a surg kit. Most of the mobs until Vet Pikes die from one headshot, and the accuracy and speed of Throwing Knives with that throwing skill are godlike. I can easily solo up to Prince in a relatively short time.

P.S. I still do NOT recommend Throwing Knives for any other difficulty xD
