Question about game classes

Salute from Russia. Will all classes differ from each other so that each class is unique, for example, as in the WOW game, or will they all be similar to each other? I hope the translator coped

    The 8 Archetypes (Tank, Mage, Rogue, Fighter, Summoner, Bard, Ranger, Cleric) will all be unique. The 64 classes won't be entirely unique.
    Even though augments do radically change the way your active skills provide you abilities, there's still a primary focus on the base archetype itself and not the 64 whole classes.[2] – Steven Sharif

    We're not really talking about 64 true classes, we're talking about eight classes with 64 variants... There isn't as much variance between the 64 classes as you might expect. It's not like there are you know 64 different versions of... radically different classes.[2] – Jeffrey Bard

    8 Main classes that are different and with 8 different veriations of one class.
    So in total 64 different class builds

    With religion agmentations on top of that again so yes classes will be different for sure.

    Also you can use what weapon you want they also have skille you can spec into.
    Pluss surly somethings we dont know about too.

    I think every class with the same secondary archetype will have the same sort of visual effects (same types of augments), but the abilities they have will depend on the primary archetype. Each class will be unique with their gear and weapon choice, and the exact abilities they use.
