When Lost Ark launches in North America and Europe this fall, the highly-awaited MMOARPG will come with five base classes that will eventually branch out into more specialized classes. Publisher Amazon Game Studios offers a preview of these advanced classes and their abilities in a new dev blog series, starting with the Warrior and the Mage.

The Warrior class can specialize as either the high-DPS Berserker, the tanky Gunlancer, or the more balanced Paladin. Mages, on the other hand, can choose to go with either the support-focused Bard or the elemental DPS Summoner.

Warrior

  • Berserker - Berserkers are powerful warriors, with their high-damage greatsword attacks and potent defense, but when they enter their burst mode, they're all but unstoppable.
  • Gunlancer - The Gunlancer is the first line of defense, taking the brunt of enemy attacks with their defensive stance and battlefield shield to keep the rest of their party safe.
  • Paladin - The true jack-of-all trades, Paladins work best for players who want access to wide variety of abilities balanced in both offense and defense, with options to support teammates or use offensive attacks to play aggressively themselves.

Mage

  • Bard - Virtuosos of the Liane harp, bards can evoke soothing serenades to heal their team - or unleash a chorus of pain on their unfortunate foes.
  • Summoner - They call forth spirits of the elements to fight for them, and each elemental has their own special skills to help the Summoner shine in every situation.

You can check out both the Warrior and Mage classes and their respective advanced classes in action after the jump. You can also head over to the Lost Ark official site to learn more.
