How the labels work
Role and distance labels help you browse. They are not damage rankings, queue rules, or measurements of every skill. “Mixed or uncertain” includes Cleric because available references use different meanings of combat range.

FAQ
How many classes are listed for global?
Eight: Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Chanter, Cleric, Sorcerer and Spiritmaster. This is the lineup on NC’s global site checked October 1, 2026.
Why is Brawler not in the selector?
NC announced Brawler for the already-running regional service in July. It is absent from the eight entries on the global site checked here. This does not predict whether or when it will arrive globally.
Is Spiritmaster a ninth class alongside Elementalist?
This selector follows the current global label, Spiritmaster. Older NC regional English material uses Elementalist for the corresponding spirit class; it should not create a duplicate global entry.
Which class is strongest?
This tool compares identities and preferences. It does not have controlled global-client performance tests and does not rank class strength.
Does a filter exclude other possible builds?
No. A filter describes a primary identity or typical positioning. It does not state all skills, builds, or party-finder roles.
