Tank
Of course, tanks are based on the art of protectors, the most suitable for gaining resistance. Then it's a choice between more damage or more self-healing and other support abilities.
Anarchaos : Art of the Protectors / Art of the Spiritualists / Art of the Warriors - Good tank combination with support from allies via buffs and damage increases
Paladin : Art of the warriors / Art of the protectors / Art of the animists - Good survival and support. As well as correct damage abilities.
Clerc : Protector Art / Spiritual Art / Animist Art - Support Tank with buffs and heals
Black Knight : Art of the Protectors / Art of the Necromancer / Art of the Spiritualists - Powerful tank with high damage and crowd control options.
Caregivers
Healers are important because behind a good tank there is a good healer. Healers are all capable of dealing correct damage.
Clerc : Spiritualist Art / Animist Art / Protector Art - Healer in heavy armor with good survival and support tools.
Soul song - Spiritualist Art / Necromancer Art / Animist Art - Two important arts with support spells and spells providing damage potential and crowd control.
Hierophant - Spiritualist Art / Animist Art / Wizarding Art - A new class bringing significant support options and crowd control.
Cultists - Art of the Animists / Art of the Necromancer / Art of the Mages - Heals that follow each other quickly while inflicting tons of damage.
Damage
There are many options for dealing damage. We will see this in 3 types.
- Archer
- Mage
- Melee
With a dedicated art, archers are obviously based on the art of archers. The other arts provide various bonuses, survival or better melee DPS to finish off targets.
Gaïen : Archery Art / Assassin Art / Animist Art - Lots of potential damage while ensuring decent care and support.
Stone arrow : Art of Archers / Art of Assassins / Art of Protectors - High damage with more direct survival.
Machiavellian : Art of Archers / Art of Assassins / Art of Sorcerers - Remote assassin powerful on a target and able to control in area.
Persecutor : Spiritualist Art / Archery Art / Assassin Art - One of the most popular classes in the game, dealing a lot of damage with high assassin potential.
Mages are often very popular in MMORPGs. It is possible to combine different arts to cast powerful spells.
Vagabond : Mage Art / Spirit Art / Wizard Art - A good set of targeted and area spells, while still offering support potential.
Elegyiste : Art of mages / Art of virtuosos / Art of assassins - Class inflicting high damage over a short duration (burst) offering good flexibility.
Melomancer - Art of the Magi / Art of the Spiritualists / Art of the Virtuosos - Class specializing in improving others while offering a correct DPS.
Hermit : Mage Art / Assassin Art / Wizard Art - Very popular class allowing to inflict high damage, including burst, but also crowd control.
Demonologue : Sorcerer Art / Mage Art / Necromancer Art - Big crowd controls with high damage. A good class in both PvP and PvE.
Melee damage classes are on the front line and often need more survival than other ranged DPS classes. Most of the classes are based on either the art of assassins or the art of warriors, combined with other arts to improve healing, survival or crowd control.
Inquisitor : Art of the Warriors / Art of the Assassins / Art of the Animists - Critical oriented class in PvP with devastating melee damage and self-healing.
Executor : Art of Assassins / Art of Warriors / Art of Necromancer - Melee DPS with high damage and control spells
Cleptocrane : Warrior Art / Animist Art / Necromancer Art - Crowd control and healing, with melee damage.
Deceives death : Art of Assassins / Art of Necromancer / Art of Protectors - Class based on high burst damage with improved survival.
Shadow spinner : Art of Warriors / Art of Assassins / Art of Spiritualists - Very strong and popular class dealing melee damage while providing group utilities.
Predator : Protector Art / Warrior Art / Assassin Art - A PvP oriented class with enhanced defense and powerful melee attacks.
Support
The majority of support classes are based on the art of virtuosos, sometimes mixed with the art of animists (for healing) and controls from various other arts.
Priest : Art of the Spiritualists / Art of the Virtuosos / Art of the Animists - A class with a lot of support, care and improvements.
Watchman : Art of the protectors / Art of the virtuosos / Art of the animists - Healer and support with great survival.
Flail Knower : Art of wizards / Art of protectors / Art of spiritualists - Potential damage but mainly support and crowd control spells.
Blade dance : Art of the Warriors / Art of the Assassins / Art of the Virtuosos - Good melee DPS with support abilities from the Virtuoso branch.
Classes for levels
When you want to quickly increase your levels, you can opt for a special class, mixing an art to inflict damage and another to increase your survival (support). The art of animists is often preferred for this supporting role. It is then important to be flexible, to be effective both at distance and in contact, on single or multiple targets, without forgetting crowd controls and solutions to escape difficult solutions.
Necromancer : Necromancer Art / Wizard Art / Animist Art - A good mix between damage on a single target or in an area, with crowd control and healing.
Paladin : Warrior Art / Protector Art / Animist Art - A melee oriented class with good damage, survival, and support options.
Naturalist : Mage Art / Animist Art / Archery Art - A ranged class with different types of spells and abilities to be effective in the majority of situations.
