Classes
The game offers 6 classes,[8] with the possibility to create both male and female characters for each class.
- Gunslinger: Gunslingers offer high and precise ranged damage. They are good at taking down single targets, but are weak for crowd-control.
- Blade Master: Blademasters can act as secondary tank or twin-blade melee physical DPS. Blademasters focus on burst damage and escape skills to dash in and out of combat.
- Spiritshaper: Spiritshapers are easy to control and allow for high survivability. They act as support classes in groups, while doing ranged damage through summonings.
- Vanguard: Vanguards act as main tanks and specialize in physical close combat, with heavy armor and a focus on survival skills.
- Swordmage: Swordmages focus on ranged magic damage and AOE. They have relatively poor survivability with low health and armor, and rely on cold damage for crowd control.
- Occultist: Occultists can act both as ranged magical DPS - focusing on damage-over-time, life drain and AOE - and as healers.
