The Merchant’s class is a merchant class that is designed to be able to barter, make a good deal, and make allies. Merchants are built to be able to convince people that they have the best deal. At the same time Merchants are not very good at combats, Merchants are support that are almost exclusive to no range. Also Merchants are not very good at taking damage but very bad at dealing it. Merchants give no large benefits to their teams like Rangers do however, they are still very useful to any team.
