Currently I'm not happy with the logic of the class combinations.
I think the Beastmaster is a kind of MMO Hunter. But he is as a Summoner still a caster? And if not, why I have to play a caster till I can choose the second class? Why it's a combination with Summoner? Demons and slements get summoned. But animals? They get tamed.
A lot of combinations doesn't make sense for me. Rogue is a physical DPS class. But with the name of the classes with Rogue combinations call anything with "shadow". So with Mage it's a Shadowcaster. How does the Rogue gives the Mage the abilities for casting anything with shadow magic?

Anyway. I would like to play Caster with Light/Holy Speels. Mage/Cleric is the closest. But no idea is that combination a light or dark class. Summoner/Cleric is Necromancer, so dark. Tank/Cleric is Paladin, so light.

@Raidri they have said that clerics will have life and death schools for augments.
so you can just necromancer and choose life, or paladin and go death

But it sounds like you'll want a mage/cleric or a cleric/mage depending on the role you want

I've heard each secondary will have 4 Schools to choose from. Life and Death are two different sides to the Cleric but I haven't heard anything about the other 2 schools for Cleric. Of course, 4 schools for each secondary could have changed since I last had an update.

@Neurath I haven't heard otherwise but the only archetype to have it's 4 schools broken down so far is mage. Besides that the cleric life and death are the only examples I've seen.

Yeah, sometimes the wiki is good but the wiki is not infallible. Off the top of my head I'm not sure what could potentially be the third and fourth school for a Cleric. I was just under the impression each combination would have 4 possibilities.
