SEPARATE CLASS UNLOCKA class choice is not a tier ranking.
Each class can be developed in different directions. These summaries describe fantasy, not damage, difficulty or endgame viability. Native class lines are a practical place to begin while you relearn the game.
Class Mastery, subclassing and Champion Points have different requirements. Scribing’s similarly named script is now called Class Flourish. Advanced allocation and compatibility tools need a fuller reviewed catalog before they belong here.
