↖ Healer: Keeping the Party Alive

• White Mage: Your go-to for a healing crash course. Call it a big kind giant among healers with simple yet powerful heals and a life saver button that feels like a warm hug for your team.
• Astrologian: This is your space wizard, blending healing with starry buffs. It's like playing chess 3D with the cosmos – challenging but rewarding for those who master its intricacies.
• Scholar: For the thinkers and planners. It's like being a battlefield commander with a fairy sidekick. Juggle your resources and turn the tide of battle with strategic healing and timely damage.
• Sage: The straightforward shielder. Think of being a medic in a sci-fi setting equipped with cool gadgets that can heal or shield you without wasting any time.

 

↖ Tanks: The Unbreakable Wall

• Warrior: New to tanking? Start here. It's like being a big cuddly bear that can also maul enemies. User friendly, some self-heals to give you room (and learning) space.
• Paladin: The jack-of-all-trades. Imagine an honorable knight who can attack as well as defend while also managing some party tricks that sparkle. A great all-rounder if you can’t decide what you love most.
• Gunbreaker: DPS in tank's armor. Think of an action hero on high octane – always busy, always explosive. Ideal for those who want hard-hitting and stylish hits.
• Dark Knight: The moody, resource-managing tank. Picture being the gothic hero, balancing darkness with light to protect your allies. Perfect for players who like a bit of drama in their tanking.

 

↖ DPS: The Damage Dealers

 

Melee DPS

• Dragoon: The lance-wielding acrobat. Imagine being a medieval superhero, leaping and striking with precision. It’s all about the thrill of the hit (and the occasional self-yeet off the edge).
• Samurai: The master of the blade. Think of it as directing your katana like an instrument in an orchestra full of destruction. A dance of damage where each step and strike count.
• Reaper: The flexible harbinger of doom. Think gothic warrior dancing with death – it’s about changing your deadly waltz to match the rhythm of battle.
• Monk: Speed and fluidity personified. Think high-speed martial arts movie where you star in it and you deliver rapid-fire punches and kicks.
• Ninja: The busy, stealthy assassin. Imagine playing magic ninja tag on steroids – fast, furious, never still.

 

Castor DPS

• Black Mage: The quintessential caster. See yourself wielding raw forces of nature – between devastating power and strategic positioning lies a dance.
• Red Mage: The versatile duelist. Think ballet dancer with rapier combining spells and swordplay into a deadly performance.
• Summoner: The conjurer of celestial beings. Picture being an interstellar zookeeper responsible for a range of alien creatures and powers.

 

Physical DPS

• Bard: The musical archer. We are thinking about juggling tunes and arrows as a medieval rock star whilst keeping up with buffs for battle while damaging foes harmoniously
• Dance: Is all about grace, but it is also about surprise. It is like being a main character in a very risky dance competition where one wrong move could turn the game to your favor.
• Machinist:The Sharpshooter That Knows His Way Around Technology. Take on the picture of a steampunk inventor who has devised gadgets and gizmos to unleash calculated storms of bullets and explosions.
