## Class Types

### **Rogue**

They emphasize speed and/or stealth above all else. This makes them ideal for Hit-and-Run Tactics, given that they're good at both ambushing the enemy and avoiding fights they don't like, (Even though they are almost the best at close combat) Typically they're usually not sturdy enough to stand up against a direct assault on their own, but are nonetheless valuable for weakening and disrupting the enemy.

### **Damage**

Inflicting damage upon the enemy is their job. They tend to be something of a Jack-of-All-Stats complemented by a long list of weapons and armor they can use, being more accurate than usual at the cost of being slower than average. The "default" option for many games, they're usually the simplest class to play.

### **Support**

They improve their allies' ability to fight without damaging much on their own. They may aid teammates by healing them to keep them alive longer, by offering bonuses to allies, or by inflicting penalties on enemies. Either way, This class Requires more teamwork than most classes, which can be frustrating on both sides; bad support can bring down a good team, but a team that doesn't protect their support is equally annoying.

### **Juggernaut**

The class with the most different names and hardest to define, their singular uniting characteristic is the ability to mow down foes. Hitting the front-lines and taking the damage from the enemy team. They can cover lots of ground with area of effect attacks, rapid fire, or both. This makes them especially deadly against large numbers of individually weak enemies. They're usually a unable to take hits and/or ponderously slow. In the right circumstances they can wipe out hordes of opponents, but if caught in a bad spot they'll go down like a pile of bricks.

### **Ranger**

They specialize in powerful long-range attacks. They're generally capable of dealing lots of damage to a single target from a safe distance, but aren't very good at defending themselves, especially at close range. Best used to take out high-value or defense-heavy targets while being sure to keep their beefier teammates between them and the enemy.

### **Creator/Crafter**

The Crafter is an interesting class. Though they often are not much of a fighting class they are known for crafting things out of random materials. Generally these materials can be found in a backpack or a storage device, even though these items can be found around the surrounding area. If this class was to fight however, it would most likely be with items they created.

### **Mages**

Mages are the **newest** class type. Mages specialize in "Ether Magic" a type of divine force that enhances ethergloben with the lifeforce of the planet. By harnessing the power of Astria the mage class is able to use their power to cast unique abilities. A mage doesn't unleash their true potential until they are a level 10 and can harness elemental energy.
