Adventurer professions fight from the traditional mid-line. They all possess a good mix of ranged weapons, and are otherwise flexible combatants. They wear medium armor. Able to bring dozens of abilities and toolbelt skills to a fight, their art is in choosing the right one to utilize at the perfect time.

Rangers are masters of their natural surroundings, and use a versatile set of skills to hunt their enemies. The rangers are also accompanied by their trusted pets , fighting in unison with their own set of pet skills to pick off their enemies one by one.
What they lack in defense, they make up for with skills to debilitate, teleport, or vanish from sight. Thieves use their initiative to fuel their weapon skills , dishing out quick chains of damage before slipping away into the shadows with stealth.

In contrast, the Holosmith elite specialization is capable of high damage output and significant cleave.
Guardians excel at defensive support. Regardless of their role, they have good off-healing and numerous utility skills that shield their party members from attacks. Guardians are easy to pick up and solid in every game mode, making them a good class for new players. The Dragonhunter elite specialization turns guardians into skirmishers with mobility and burst damage. The Firebrand elite specialization grants a plethora of support skills, and can be built for damage or healing.
