* Reapress - Reaperesses are Shamans who fight with scythes. They’re filled with the energy of dark spirits. They lack the strong defense and evasion techniques of the other classes, but they more than make up for this shortcoming with their powerful attacks. Their excellent mobility allows them to perform quick attacks that cause deadly bleeding, helping them win in even the fiercest battles. This makes the Reaperess a great class for Shamans who want to exploit their enemies’ weaknesses and drive them back.
* Taoist - Taoists are Shamans who neutralize enemies by harnessing the strength of the spirits. They have a wide attack range and employ paralyzing strikes to turn the tide of battle in their favor. They have quick charge skills and deadly attacks that are particularly effective against ranged and magic-using classes. Therefore, this class suits Shamans who enjoy getting close enough to their opponents to debilitate them.
* Elementalist - Elementalists are Shamans who specialize in using the natural fury of the elements. They cast powerful spells over large areas and have the ability to summon spirits to aid them. They can also create magic circles to enhance their elemental magic and aggressively corner their enemies. But their casting speed is quite slow, so they must remain vigilant and aware of their enemies while casting.
* Illusionist - Illusionists are Shamans who specialize in using spirits to perform their bidding. They can summon giant maelstorms and hurl blades of psychic energy at their enemies. As a defensive measure, they can summon illusions to distract enemies and shields to absorb damage. Therefore, this class Suits shamans who are flexible enough to use both offensive and defensive magic.

* Demolisher - A Demonisher is a Shaman who puts the power of souls into the Evil Eye to do battle. The attack damage is relatively lower than other classes, but the long-ranged magic and special effects can help Demonishers lead a battle effectively. Therefore, Demonisher suits Shamans who enjoy both long-ranged and melee combat in combination with other various combat abilities.
