Class tips

  • Decide what you want to do in a group – tank, heal or deal damage – before you compare numbers.
  • Elyos and Asmodians share every class, so your faction never limits your choice.
  • Try a class's skills in its build planner before you level it: it uses the game's own skill and stigma point budgets.
