Choosing the right build may be tricky in Europe, but here is a little guide to help clear your mind and ease your tensions. This will also ease people into more hybrid builds and not just generic cookie cutters like in the past.


1. Choice

What Class to choose right? There are many varieties from elemental Wizards to the stealthy Rogues. It is best to play a little first to get a feel for the class but here is a simple tree to follow for picking your first class in Europe:

Long Range

Rogue (Crossbow)
Cleric
Bard
Wizard
Warlock

Short Range

Warrior (All types)
Rogue (Dagger)

Int

Cleric
Bard
Wizard
Warlock

Str

Warrior
Rogue

Support Mainly

Cleric
Bard
Warlock
Warrior (1 handed Sword)

PvP Focused

Warrior (Dual Axe, 2 Handed Sword)
Rogue (All types)
Wizard

Hopefully this helps clear some minds. Again this is all debatable and not a one way guide to judge all the classes, but it should push people in the right direction if they can not decide.

2. Individual Class Guide

Warrior
Protect, Reflect, Fight! This is the class for you if you wish to deal great damage, tank it back, and have an assortment of swords and axes on your side for dealing the worst of blows to your enemies.

Rogue
Stealth, Poison, and a critical hell! Rogues are the class for you if you want to be evasive and always have some kind of trick up your sleeve to escape damage and deal it back tenfold. Rogues always have some new attack prepared every time to stay fresh for their enemies.

Wizard
Nuke away all power!! This is the typical RPG Glass Cannon. This class has pure magical attacks and a lot of trickery on their side to maneuver on the battlefield and with a team. Choosing this class means you get a variety of elemental damage and traps, but more then 50 ways to die from almost any class if you do not kill them first.

Warlock
I am weak, but so are you. Warlocks are some what of a complex and expert debuff class. They have more skills than most classes and each skill lays out a new strategy advantage for your team. If you wish to spend some time and probably be one of the most unique and skill intense classes out their then go Warlock and blow everyone away.

Bard
Briiiiing~~. Kill your foes with the noise of a thousand harps, and protect your team too! This is the first of support classes aka a buff heaven, they are needed for any party on the Silk Road! You choose this class for that buff that everyone wants and no one will get and the advantage you give to your team and your team alone.

Cleric
Heal, Resurrect, and Protect! The Cleric is the classic support type character with so many ways to keep you alive it will make your head spin. Not to neglect the fact that each Europe class has a deadly assortment of skills for offensive attacks, this class is for supporting your enemies and keeping your party the strongest on the battlefield.

-Out-
Hopefully this guide assisted players in staying smart and picking the right build for them when playing Legend I, Europe and it should smoothly transition everyone into a strong party player.


(Testing this guide out, let me know what you think and yes I read cin's guide and I didn't like it so I didn't complain I made another and it is focused a little different).

-Peace

I appreciate the effort you put in, but try and post in the right section next time. :)

Nice info though for people who need a bit of help, or are new.

I put it in the wrong section on purpose to get some more feedback from everyone. Hopefully the admins don't hurt me too bad for it ^^.

Warlocks aren't weak. They can stack two damage over time spells (that can cause status effects), get a "shield" that does absolute damage to everyone around, absorb HP from every one around you, etc...

Defense-wise, they're much better off than Wizards. Offense-wise, they're slower killers, but they can take quite a few hits even if you go full INT.

You don't blow people away with Warlocks. You cast a few spells and watch them slowly die.
