ArcheAge Classes

ArcheAge Classes

Factions & Races:
Nuia:
Nuians – a deeply spiritual race that fight fearlessly to maintain and defend their traditions.  Their race is gifted with the ability to construct houses and castles faster.  Their stat-bonuses also remain two times longer after being resurrected. Elves – a solitary warrior race who long for an honorable death.  They can hold their breath longer underwater and swim faster than the other races.
Haranya:
Firran – a nomadic cat-like humanoid race who value all forms of life, no matter how small.  Their quick reflexes allow them to take less damage from falls.  They can also climb trees and ladders faster than the other races. Harani – survivors dedicated to serving and preserving the interests of their people.  They can gather plants and chop down trees faster than the other races.  They also get reduced cast-times and cooldowns for their Recall ability (Town Portal).
Classes:
Instead of traditional classes, ArcheAge features skillsets that players can combine to create their own unique classes.  The first six skillsets are available at character creation while the remaining four are unlocked upon reaching level 10.  Players combine three of the following skillsets to make their own unique class:
Battlerage – specializes in getting up close and personal with the enemy.  Their abilities include stuns, knockdowns, and slows, as well as passive skills that boost damage.
Archery – deals damage from long range.  Employs abilities like damage-over-time, or Dot, snares, slows and other effects to keep enemies at a distance.
Sorcery – casts elemental spells to inflict massive damage to multiple enemies at once.  Sorcery abilities focus on increasing damage and dealing status-effect combos on targets.
Occultism – focuses on casting a variety of status effects and debuffs on enemies from a distance.  Abilities include increased mana-regeneration and increased magic critical-hits.
Shadowplay – specializes in stealth, surprise attacks, and mobility in combat.  Their abilities include passive skills to increase critical-hit chances, evasion, and to lower aggro-generation.
Vitalism – supports allies with heals, heal-over-time, resurrection, and protection spells.  Their passive abilities increase the mana pool and the effectiveness of healing spells.
Songcraft – a versatile skillset suitable for bards.  Effective in dealing ranged damage, and handling crowd control, debuffs, minor heals, and more.  This skillset works well with almost any combination of skillsets.
Witchcraft – focuses on crowd control.  Can turn the tide of battle with abilities that increase defense and crowd control effectiveness.
Auramancy – a flexible skillset that can buff allies and debuff enemies, as well as perform light-healing, defense, and crowd-control.
Defense – the skillset for the aspiring tank.  Can absorb damage with bonuses to health, armor, regen, and block chance.  They can also taunt enemies to keep them preoccupied
