Compare classes and build options

Warrior uses Strength and mixes close-range Physical attacks with Fire, defensive, and control skills. Hunter uses Dexterity, with ranged Physical, Poison, Arcane, and trap options. Sorcerer uses Intelligence, with Fire, Frost, and Lightning options. Monk uses Dexterity and combines Physical, Chi, and Lightning skills with mobility and defensive options.

These are skill themes, not rankings. All four have 14 class abilities; the cards below list their actual tags and link to the full hubs.

• Character level: unlock requirements, progression, and rune slot access.
• Skill level: the selected rank in a skill preview; base cap 10.
• Rune level: rune stat and bonus progression; base cap 6.
• Item level: input for equipment stat-roll ranges; independent of upgrade +N.
• Enemy level / Mythic tier: encounter scaling and loot context.

Preview numbers are unmodified base values. Drop checks, fishing casts, and gathering nodes have different denominators; none implies a guaranteed reward per map run.

Open skill details from a class hub and inspect their previews at the same skill level. Consider Mana generated or spent, cooldown, targeting, range, status effects, and scaling. 100% weapon damage means a base multiplier of 1× weapon damage, not a fixed damage amount or DPS. Multi-hit and damage-over-time effects need their full descriptions.

A Basic Attack uses weapon speed, so a fixed zero-second cooldown would be misleading. Equipment, rune skill bonuses, talents, and player modifiers can change the actual tooltip.
