Base HP raised in the October 27 PDT notes

NC raises level 45 base HP for every class from 4,702: Gladiator and Templar to 6,202 (+1,500); Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Chanter and Cleric to 5,702 (+1,000). Assassin’s Illusive Clone cooldown drops from 90 to 60 seconds, and Heightened Sixth Sense gives more HP. The October 20 PDT notes fix Sorcerer’s Cold Storm and Fire Wall and Chanter’s Spinning Strike display. These are publisher notes; Kingy has not measured them.

Choose from descriptions, then verify gameplay

NC describes Templar through shielding, Chanter through ally support and Cleric through preserving life. The other descriptions establish broad combat themes. They do not prove a required dungeon composition or comparative damage.

The comparison tool shows those official summaries separately from your personal notes. Record platform, client version and date for any gameplay observation.

Official descriptions vs Kingy recommendations

The roster and summaries are Officially announced. Kingy has not played these classes; no best-class, difficulty or PvP rating follows from promotional descriptions.

Troubleshooting: “which class should I play?”

Choose a theme you want to try from the official summaries. We do not have the tested performance, skill or respec evidence needed to recommend a strongest class.
