WildStar Guide to Classes

There are six classes in WildStar to choose from. Each class has a different playstyle and can perform two of the three possible trinity (DPS, healer, tank) roles. Each class can DPS efficiently and solo extremely well. Most classes have certain racial restrictions but all classes are open to both factions.

Here is a summary of all six classes as well as their roles and racial limitations:

Warrior

Roles: Melee DPS or Tank

Races available: Human, Granok, Mordesh, Cassian, Mechari, Draken

Spellslinger
