Overall Balance Design
In general, this mod is intended to allow classes to excel at certain things, while nerfing/removing abilities that are so good, they make the entire game and the challenges within it pointless (such as mystic spearhand’s invulnerability shield). Class roles and what they are intended to be good at are as follows:

Fighter
S Tier - Tanking & Provoking
A Tier - Climbing DPS / Elemental Weakspot DPS / Physical DPS
B Tier - Mobility / Knockdown

Archer
S Tier - Ranged Physical DPS
A Tier - Mobility / AOE DPS / AOE Offensive Utility / Physical Weakspot DPS
B Tier - Offensive Utility

Mage
S Tier - Healing / (AOE) Offensive & Defensive Utility / Holy AOE DPS
A Tier - Elemental (AOE) DPS / Mobility / Survivability

Thief
S Tier - (Climbing) Physical Weakspot DPS / Mobility
A Tier - Offensive Utility / Survivability / Melee DPS
B Tier - Elemental DPS

Warrior
S Tier - Knockdown / Static Physical DPS
A Tier - Climbing Weakspot DPS / Physical AOE DPS / Tanking & Provoking / Survivability
B Tier - Utility

Sorcerer
S Tier - Ranged (AOE) Elemental DPS / Untyped (AOE) magic DPS
A Tier - Utility / Mobility

Mystic Spearhand
S Tier - Mobility
A Tier - Physical DPS / Magical DPS / Physical Weakspot DPS / Defensive Utility / Environment Usage

Magick Archer
S Tier - Elemental & Untyped magic DPS / Elemental Weakspot DPS
A Tier - Defensive Utility / Elemental (AOE) DPS
B Tier - Offensive Utility
