First time souls-borne player here. I started the game out with the warrior class because I figured it would be the most well rounded, however, I did a little reading and found that the samurai and vagabond were supposedly good classes for people just starting out. Is it worth it to reset the little progress I have to start out with a different class that might be better?

Something that helped me when I first started, that might help you, is going full blown magic user. Magic is still op and it puts distance between you and the enemy so you have a chance to learn how they act. It also really helps to use spirit ashes, again, so you can learn how to fight. The enemy will focus on them so you can get a chance to learn what to do. Don't let anyone try to tell you it makes the game too easy or you aren't a real souls player or whatever other elitist bullshit they try to feed you. The devs put them in the game. Use them. Once you git gud, then try to play without them.
