This thread was inspired from this thread to give you an idea of what this is about.
Many people want to play the best overall class which beats all others, but I'm sad to say that only the admins can choose that class. What does that mean? Well it means there is no best class that beats all because all classes have been designed for a certain role and purpose. This is why I have made this thread, to explain as best I can what each class is better suited for (pros and cons), so you can find a class that you will enjoy the most.

Extra:
If you disagree with what I have put for a certain class and feel as if you have a better brief description of that class then post it and I will update it in this thread if others agree with you.
This thread was made to help those who have not played Herocraft for that long and have not had a chance to experiment with classes to find one they will enjoy, so please don't start a argument with others or post useless replies. Like I said if you think you could write a better brief description then go ahead and I'll add it.
I will do my best to keep this updated as class revamps happen so new (or even old) players can find a class they will enjoy the most.
CHANGED!
