Fantasy MMORPG PvE Raids Guilds

In MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), job classes (or character classes) define a player's role in combat, group dynamics, and gameplay style. These classes often fall into broad archetypes like Tank, Healer, DPS (Damage Per Second), and Support, though many games introduce unique variations. Below are some common and popular MMORPG job classes: Tank Classes Role: Absorb damage, protect allies, and control enemy aggro. Warrior Heavy armor, high defense, uses swords/axes/shields. Paladin Holy knights with self-heals and damage mitigation. Dark Knight Sacrifices HP for powerful attacks and tanking. Guardian (e.g., Guild Wars 2) Nature-themed tank with defensive auras. Healer/Support Classes Role: Restore HP, buff allies, and debuff enemies. Cleric/Priest Pure healing with holy magic. Druid Nature-based heals with shapeshifting (e.g., WoW). Bard Buffs allies with songs/auras (FFXIV, Ragnarok Online). Scholar (FFXIV) Uses fairy pets for healing and shields. Melee DPS Classes Role: High close-range damage. Rogue/Thief Stealth, crits, and poison (WoW, Elder Scrolls Online). Monk Fast martial arts with combos (FFXIV). Samurai High burst damage with katana (FFXIV). Berserker High-risk, high-reward frenzy attacks (Lost Ark). Ranged DPS Classes Role: Deal damage from a distance. Mage/Wizard Elemental spells (fire, ice, arcane). Archer/Ranger Bows/guns with mobility (Black Desert Online). Summoner Commands pets to attack (FFXIV, WoW Warlock). Gunslinger (Lost Ark) Dual pistols/rifles for rapid fire. Hybrid/Unique Classes Role: Mix of roles or unconventional playstyles. Red Mage (FFXIV) Balances melee, magic, and healing. Necromancer (Guild Wars 2) Summons undead and drains life. Reaper (Lost Ark) Scythe-wielding death dealer. Engineer (Guild Wars 2) Uses gadgets, turrets, and explosives. Crowd Control/Utility Classes Role: Disable enemies or provide unique buffs. Enchanter (EverQuest) Charms and mesmerizes foes. Illusionist Focuses on debuffs and mind tricks. Time Mage (Some games) Speeds up allies or slows enemies. Popular MMORPG Class Systems: World of Warcraft: Warrior, Priest, Death Knight, Demon Hunter. Final Fantasy XIV: Dragoon, White Mage, Black Mage, Astrologian. Lost Ark: Sorceress, Gunlancer, Shadowhunter, Artist. Guild Wars 2: Elementalist, Mesmer, Revenant. Some games allow class switching (e.g., FFXIV) or multi-classing (e.g., Ragnarok Online), while others lock you into a choice. Would you like recommendations based on a specific playstyle? (e.g., solo-friendly, PvP-focused, etc.)
