Play Style
Damage / DPS
All classes can go with the DPS route but a few do this job much better.
Example: Dragon Knight, Biolo, Shadow Cross, Wind Hawk, Arch Mage, Inquisitor, etc.
Tank
Tanking has shifted to equipment reliant so the line between good tank classes and bad ones has been blurred. However, some classes are still preferred for tanking.
Example: Imperial Guard and Inquisitor.
Support
Supports bring a lot of different things to the table base on the class but in general they help making your party's life easier.
Example: Elemental Master, Cardinal, Troubadour, Spirit Handler.
