| Chanter | Priest | Support hybrid | Melee support | Medium | Good if you want utility without being a pure healer. |
| Cleric | Priest | Healer | Ranged support | Medium | Good for group-minded players; stressful if you dislike healing responsibility. |
| Sorcerer | Mage | Ranged magic DPS | Ranged magic | Medium | Good if you like clear ranged damage windows. |
| Spiritmaster | Mage | Summoner | Ranged / pet | High | More complex because pet control and utility decisions matter. |
