Agility Classes

Summary

Agility classes are classes which focus on high single target damage, and which tend to focus on speedily picking them off with focused attacks then with attacking larger groups of enemies. Defensively, they also use their skills to avoid taking damage rather than defend against large attacks.

Offensive capabilities

Primary Agility Classes tend to deal a lot of damage against single targets in large bursts, especially at close range. This high level of damage burst usually has the downside of low damage over time, with much of the power they wield concentrated in their Tactical, and Non-Formation abilities.

Defensive capabilities

Agility Classes rely most on their evasion for survival, and have included in their attacks the ability to evade damage. They are more fragile as a result, and require skillful and constant quick thinking to evade attacks.

Utility capabilities

With their focus mostly being on damage, Agility classes rarely provide any utility to a party, and instead focus on their opponent. Any assistance they do provide is done through their Secondary or Tertiary Roles

Secondary Role

Classes which are Secondary role Agility can provide a good amount of single target damage to their enemies, with the caveat of being more vulnerable to attack.

Tertiary Role

Classes which are Tertiary Agility passively provide additional single target damage in their skills, be they for offense, defense or support.
