Which class should I choose?
Start with the kind of character you want to play: a Warrior’s melee theme, a Magician’s spellcasting, a Bowman’s ranged weapons, or one of the Thief branches. These are editorial suggestions, not a measured damage ranking.
Then look one advancement ahead. If a specific level-30 branch already appeals to you, follow its first-job path. The class finder below helps you navigate those options.
