Types of Classes
There are 5 types of classes: melee, ranged, stamina, focus and hybrid classes. Each class has a health and resource pool distribution. Melee and ranged classes additionally share a class type with one of the following classes: stamina, focus or hybrid.

Melee Class
Melee classes deal their attacks at close range. While melee classes tend to use weapons that deal physical damage, they may also use magical attacks. A melee class will also be a stamina, focus or hybrid class.

Ranged Class
Ranged classes deal their attacks at long range. While ranged classes tend to use magical spells, they may also use weapons that do physical damage such as bows or thrown items. A ranged class will also be a stamina, focus or hybrid class.

Stamina Classes
