Classes

You can only have two classes active at any time but, except for racial restrictions, you can actually have all of them to choose from. Visiting a House Maid will allow you to change your currently-active Primary and Secondary classes.

Primary Class
Your Primary is your main class. All skills of that class will be available to you, plus any non-exclusive skills of your Secondary class, and certain Elite Skills available only to those with the specific combination you are using.

Those classes that, when single-classed, do most of their damage through physical attacks are the Physical Classes, regardless of how they act when dual-classed. Those that use magical attacks are the Magical Classes.

There are six Physical Classes: Warrior, Scout, Rogue, Knight, Warden, and Champion.

The remaining four are the Magical Classes: Mage, Priest, Druid, and Warlock.
