[edit] Types/Styles of Classes

- Melee Damage Dealer
- A close combat character, both armed and unarmed. They may also use speed and stealth to avoid taking damage.
- Ranged Physical Damage Dealer
- These fighters uses bows or other weapons that can be thrown. They work best when they can take down their opponent at a distance.
- Ranged Magic Damage Dealer
- Similar to the Ranged Physical Damage Dealer, but instead of weapons, they use magic, usually drawing on elements such as fire and ice.
- Debuffer
- Debuffers attack their opponents by reducing their effectiveness to fight.
- Tank
- Tanks are capable of withstanding tremendous attacks while protecting their allies from harm.
- Hybrid
- A Hybrid takes characteristics of two or more of the other types, often a damage dealer with some healing abilities.
