Class
Summary
Each class brings with it new spells and gear options.
Itemization for a class is almost always in line with what you would find in the TAKP database. Most spells will also be in line with what you would expect, although some have been re-tuned to make them more competitive, or be new additions altogether.
Bard
Swiss army knife of damage and utility. Their two bottom most gem slots that are beneficial songs will always be applied to you/your group, also known as autotwist. Bard instruments are also equipable in the Charm and Power Source slots. Time to wield that Drum+Lute+Brass combo at the same time! Grants lesser tracking radius and 5% bonus [Class Mitigation].
When Bard is the primary class, the global cooldown for all abilities is the same as it would be for songs, almost 0. To counterbalance this, instant abilities that do damage will only do 50% of their normal damage. Spells with cast times will only benefit from haste at 50% of its value, making for longer casting time.

Strong pet class with pet buffs that can be used on other class pets as well. Hastes, Slows, Lesser heals, Stat buffs, Regen buffs.
Berserker
Frenzy skill/spell with throwing weapon abilities and summoning throwing axe types. Decapitate finishing blow, Headshot w/ throwing axe finishing blow.
