What do you mean by extreme and more balanced?
European classes are more specialized. Wizards have extremely powerful nukes, but they die easily. Warlocks deal damage over time, but they are not good at dealing spike damage. Warriors have extremely high offense and defense, but no ranged attacks. Rogues deal a huge amount of damage and can go invisible, but they must sacrifice most of their defense to do this. Clerics have a large array of healing spells and buffs, but don't have too many useful offensive spells (aside from the Sacrifice and Mortal Recovery spells). Bards have many buffs and can restore MP, but they don't have great attack skills. You can pick any two of these classes, allowing you to specialize in different areas.
Example Class and Skill Combination: Wizard/Bard -> Nukes + Mana Cycle = Unlimited Nuke Casting Without Potions
Chinese characters tend to dabble in three or four skill trees. Chinese skill trees tend to have more variety in skills. For example, the Bicheon (Blade) tree has combos, knockdown moves, ranged moves, defensive buffs, and more. The Lightning tree has magic buffs, nukes, imbues, movement spells, and more. These skills tend to go together more smoothly than European skills, since they do not require certain equipment to be worn before than can be used (aside from the weapon attack skills, obviously). Typically, Chinese characters utilize at least one weapon tree and one force tree regardless of their stat build. (Pure Nukers are the exception) If you pick and weapon tree and any force tree, you are going to end up with ranged attacks, nukes, buffs, stacking passive skills, and more. Basically, Chinese skill trees tend to go hand in hand with each other (aside from the weapon skill trees).
Example Class and Skill Combination: Bicheon/Lightning -> Sword Dance + Lightning Imbue = Ranged blasts that jump from enemy to enemy and deal splash damage with every hit
