Allods Online: Classes by Role

A few of my friends got into the CBT2 and had trouble figuring out which class they wanted to play based on group role.  I also found it challenging to identify the primary role based on the archetype descriptions.  We went through rounds of, “Wait… what – is that also a healer?  Are you sure?  No, isn’t that DPS?”   To help others who may have role preferences, I created the table below.

How I Classified Hybrids

I classified archetypes that could readily perform one or more of the Holy Trinity roles as a hybrid.  From what I've seen, the dual role is predominately around the ability to heal and/or resurrect other players.  The archetype called "Healer" isn't the only one that can heal and resurrect.  As you can tell from the hybrid section of the table, Paladins, Summoners and Wardens can also heal.  However, only Healers and Paladins can heal AND wear plate armor.  Wardens progress to Leather.  Summoners stay in cloth.
