Once you have chosen your race, the next step is to decide on your class. Aion has four main classes and each of them has two sub-classes. The four main classes are the Warrior, Scout, Priest, and Mage. Here, we are gong to give deep explanation on two main classes of the four. There are Warrior and Scout, respectively. First of all, we are going to discuss the Warrior class. Warriors are able to wear up to chain armor from level one to ten and then up to plate armor afterwards. This makes them to have powerful physical defense ability under the protection of chain armor. Their primary weapons include polearms, greatswords, swords, and as well as maces. Shields can also be used by them but are not their main weapons. Out of all four classes, warriors are the only class meant to tank. On the whole process of level, no matter which sub-class you are going to choose, Warriors acquire the most abilities to relieve damage and build enmity. This makes it no question which class should be tanking, Warriors receives a short-duration sprint ability and taunting abilities. It is Scout's turn to explain its features. Scouts are able to wear up to leather armor and use swords, daggers, and bows which are their primary weapons. Unlike Warriors, Scouts are allowed to use dual-wield weapons. they are also granted with some tanking capabilities, however the abilities are not very powerful because their mitigation is very poor. With no regard of the sub-class you choose, Scouts are meant to deal damage without being the focus of their target's hate. the majority of a Scout's capabilities is based on stealthed DPS and long ranged DPS. This grants scouts with the ability to stealth for limited amount of time and to deal damage decent damage with ranged attacks.
