2. Skillsets ArcheAge Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This chapter introduces you to classes in ArcheAge. Here, you will learn a bit more about the available skillsets, learn about differences between them and about the most effective combinations.

Skillset selection

In ArcheAge, there are as many as 120 different classes available. Each one has 3 component skillsets, which you pick from among the 10 available ones. These are:

  • Battlerage
  • Sorcery
  • Archery
  • Occultism
  • Shadowplay
  • Vitalism
  • Defense
  • Songcraft
  • Auramancy
  • Witchcraft

You make your first choice (from the abbreviated list) while creating your character and the second one, after you reach the 5th experience level. You make the last choice at level 10. Then, your class receives an unique name.

During the game, you can change the skillset for a small fee but, you need to remember that each one needs to be leveled up separately. Your base skillset (as long as you do not change it) will level up alongside you, level after level, until you reach level 50. If you decide to change, then the new skillset will have to "catch up" with the rest of the skillsets. This is why, it is recommended that you make your starting choice with consideration and change only after you have reached the maximum experience level, when perfecting new trees is much easier and faster.

The individual skillsets combine with each other and allow you to introduce special combinations (more about this in the next step), which allows you to eliminate enemies easier. The synergy of the individual skillsets is the key to victory and that is what you should attach the most care to, while designing your character.

Within the initial skillset, you can find both active and passive skills. You unlock the former by obtaining successive levels, whereas the former are unlocked in exchange for skillpoints. For example, to learn a passive skill that requires, at least, 4 skillpoints, you first need to distribute those 4 points within that tree (including the points that you spent on the other passive skills) At the 50th experience level, you will have a total of 23 skillpoints to distribute among 3 skillsets.

The most popular classes

Thanks to the complete freedom of choice in ArcheAge, you can create any class combination. However, it needs to be pointed out that some of the classes are much weaker than their "well-thought out" alternatives. To make the start easier for you, we have prepared a list of the most popular combinations that always win their way into guilds or raids. The whole has been divided into several categories, so that everyone can find something for themselves.

Damage dealers

Darkrunner in action.

Classes that deal damage shine in the battlefield the most. It is them that decide the effectiveness of a given group and they are the most feared by the opponents. Playing as this type of character is easier and much more enjoyable - you do not need to worry about anything else than extermination of enemies. They are perfect for solo games - you can deal with all of the quests and defend yourself from opponents, if necessary.

  • Primeval (Archery / Shadowplay / Auramancy) - the most popular variation of the archer. Highly mobile, deals high ranged damage and provided with lots of buffs.
  • Darkrunner (Battlerage / Shadowplay / Auramancy) - a character that fights at close quarters. A combination of a warrior and an assassin - if he manages to sneak behind somebody's back, in nearly 100% it equals the opponent's death. Strikes fast and hard. If properly played, he can wreak havoc in the enemy lines.
  • Daggerspell (Sorcery / Shadowplay / Witchcraft) - one of the most popular mages. Very effective in 1 on 1 battles, although he does just as well in mass battles.

Tanks/ initiators

The tough characters that always stand in the first line, during the battle. Indispensable in instances, they take on the attention of monsters and buy damage dealers the time necessary to kill them. They are perfect in PvP, they are tough to kill, they are capable of incapacitating the enemy and eliminate him from further combat. They deal excellently in solo games.

  • Abolisher (Battlerage / Defense / Auramancy) - thanks to the defensive skills and numerous buffs, he is very difficult to kill. He is a real nightmare to all those who deal physical damage. The mages handle them a bit better.
  • Defiler (Occultism / Defense / Witchcraft) - an ideal character for 10 on 1, who also reigns during minor skirmishes/ He is resistant to both physical and magical damage and, thanks to the Occultism and Witchcraft combination, he is capable of controlling the situation in the battlefield. If necessary, he can quickly eliminate single enemies.
  • Blighter (Battlerage / Defense / Shadowplay) - a tougher variation of the Darkrunner. He makes up, for the lack of mobility and resistance to debuffs, with resistance to physical damage.

Healers

A healer is a key element of each party. It is him that keeps the allies alive, makes sure that debuffs do not exact toll on them and, if necessary, can revive. He is indispensable during high-level activities. Playing solo, as such a character, may be tedious, due to low damage dealt.

  • Templar (Vitalism / Defense / Auramancy) - the most popular healer combination. He is resistant to attacks and debuffs, thanks to which he can go on for longer and focus o his basic task - keep the others alive. He also does well in 1 on 1, especially against mages.
  • Hierophant (Vitalism / Auramancy / Witchcraft) - a bit modified version of the Templar. He makes up, for the gaps in physical defense, with increased resistance to magic and with various debuffs. A nightmare to all the mages.
  • Shadowbane (Vitalism / Defense / Witchcraft) - The toughest version of the healer. Very tough to kill, but vulnerable to debuffs, due to the lack of Auramancy. Apart from that, unlike the ones above, requires higher skills, due to the lack of the basic healing combination (Conversion Shield + Antithesis).

Support

The supporting characters stay in shadows, where they keep backing up their allies from. A word of warning - playing them may be tedious, because it grinds to performing the same actions, over and over again. It is possible to play solo as this class, although there is not much point to that, because they are designed to act in groups.

  • Cleric (Vitalism / Songcraft / Auramancy) - a quite versatile combination that provides you with resistance to debuffs and due to the option to function as an emergency healer.
  • Tomb Warden (Defense / Auramancy / Songcraft) - high resistance to damage and to debuffs allow you to focus, nearly entirely, on playing the buffing music.
