Quick notes

Choose a class by its main activity. The eight classes offer different ways to fight rather than a single universal build.
Read the six original classes separately. Gladiator, Seraphim, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Battle Mage and Vampiress are the original six.
Commit to a coherent skill plan. Class skills have limited selection slots, so prioritize your main damage and recovery system before collecting unrelated utility options.
Account for special mechanics. Vampiress forms, Battle Mage schools and the Dwarf's technical arts require their own reading.
