Hey everyone, HappyViet here and I’m revisiting the famous “Zadam’s Pros and Cons of Each Class” guide. I’m here to update it and quite possibly input some opinions. If you have opinions of your own, feel free to leave a reply!

You will see some MAJOR changes to the set up and the English conventional language used in the old guide. I will be adding a “Table of Contents” that will hopefully make the guide easier to reference and such. I will be adding solid information about the 3rd job advancements and finally clarify some rumors about 4th jobs. I will also be adding a Skill table for each class making it, hopefully, easier in choosing which class you want to choose based on skills.

Also, during the process of making the “Table of Contents”, I decided to transform the guide from not only just the “Pros and Cons” of Zadam but rather add on in-depth information for each class.

Basically, you will see a BRAND NEW guide, only using Zadam’s opinions to help clarify some issues on choices.

Nice idea. That one is pretty outdated. This will take a lot of works, so good luck.

Here's an idea: Split thieves, and group ranged classes and melee classes together. (Not sure about banditsins >_<)

What "skill table"?

To me, an "all classess guide" should be focusing on the most prominent features of each class both positive and negative (so... Pros and Cons), otherwise it becomes too big and difficult to use... or just tl;dr.
The in-depth information about classes should be in their dedicated guides, and the basic "which class" should be as short as possible, while still providing info for some kind of decision. At least that's my opinion.
You could include some basic info to get people to level 25 (skill builds, training places, stuff), because by that time I figure they'd get to read a dedicated guide.

But what's your target audience for this guide?
I figured it was the people asking "so, which class should I pick?", because that's the target of Zadam's guide.
Would they invest hour[s] to read in-depth information for each class? Do they want to?
Well, they probably want a guide that reads "Pick Berserker." and we won't have that. But still, that level of brevity would be something to aim for (and hope the game stays balanced so we never reach it...)

Good luck, remember to make it VERY newb-friendly. It's still a good guide, but DEFINITELY needs to be updated with all the new stuff that's been released since Zadam made it.

Zadam probably wouldn't even notice since he doesn't come here anymore, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

then i'll just ask you guys for input... i'll just remove Zadam's part completely... and I am gonna make it so that Introductions come first, Comparisons come second, and in-depth information comes third.

So please do, tell me what your opinions are for each class. If you contribute, your name will be inputted next to your contribution!

edit: I'll just reference his opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and other things to his guide!
