Acolyte

Acolyte Class Overview

Acolytes are thoughtful protectors and healers of all that is good in Rune Midgarts. Though they are still new to holy magic, their Heal, Blessing, and Increase Agi skills are vital to turn the tide of the battle. Growing up in the Capital City, Prontera, they learned how their skills can protect fellow adventurers from evil.

Acolytes are not able to equip bladed weapons but their dedication to all that is good allows them to fully support others in all situations. They can be solid tanks given the right attribute and armor.

Priest Class Overview

Once Acolytes have undergone rigorous spiritual training and have served the Church and the community as a whole, they have the opportunity to be promoted within the ranks of the Church. If the Monk is said to train their body to fight evil and the Undead physically, the Priest does so with magic. As their spiritual journey brings them closer to God, they gain advanced skills in healing as well as new ways to assist their allies and harm their foes. They are able to resurrect fallen comrades, protect them from harm, and bless their weapons. They can create spaces of safe haven where the Undead cannot penetrate and can decimate hordes of Undead with ease. Most Priests find themselves in company more often than not, typically giving up their offensive abilities in order to further support those they travel with. Even though Priests are typically not on the front lines of battle, they need to be constantly aware of their surroundings and their companions. A Priest that fails to pay attention can cause problems for themselves and their friends. Priests must be able to focus on the situation at hand and also be able to multitask with little difficulty in order to assure their party stays alive.

Monk Class Overview

Monks are a versatile class that can deal damage in several ways unique to themselves. They are most known for the powerful Guillotine Fist skill, which has uses in MVP, PVP and WoE scenarios. Most builds are damage-dealers, focusing on maximizing damage via skills such as Occult Impaction and their Combo abilities. Specialized Monk builds can be very efficient for MVP and WoE purposes.
