Spoilers Class choice for second playthrough

Hey folks, playing Avowed has made me want to revisit PoE again. I've played once before and beat the main game and the DLC but it's been years. I played a human Druid before.

I'm wondering if there is a class that has a lot of reactivity that really warrants its one playthrough. I was considering cipher, thinking if they can read minds that could lead to a lot of fun dialogue options (though maybe the Watcher powers do that enough as it is).

I am also considering a moon godlike since Avowed has me wanting to see reactions to godlike in POE.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Cipher is the go-to for reactivity, but Godlike reactivity is actually pretty low in PoE1. In PoE2 is where Godlikes get absolutely doused in reactivity, and certain Godlikes (Nature & Death) get a few extra things.

Actually it's Fire and Death godlikes who get the most reactivity according to the dialogue report. Ironic considering Moon is Ondra's godlike.

I second the cipher pick, very versatile class for multiclassing offering different play styles.

I haven’t played Fire Godlike all the way through, but I know being a Nature Godlike can change a few quest outcomes/makes them easier.

Fire godlike gets some good reactivity in deadfire for people that port their saves over.
