Lost Ark – what class should I pick?
If you’re coming into Lost Ark from another MMO or action RPG, you may be leaning towards a class that fits an archetype you are already familiar with. While each of the five classes have their own set of subclasses, each with its own differences and intricacies, they all share a general class identity that will appeal to a certain type of player.
These classes are:
Warrior – slow and melee focused. This class can either specialize into having amazing damage output with the Berserker, a tanky DPS as the Gunlancer, or act as a DPS / support hybrid as a Paladin.
Martial Artist – another melee class but with an emphasis on faster movement and dealing damage.
Gunner – your dedicated ranged class, the Gunner is all about dishing out blows from afar.
Mage – the dedicated magic class! Mage players are able to make use of mystical powers to take enemies out in their droves.
Assassin – Another melee DPS like the Striker, the Assassin is all about quick and devastating combos that can eliminate monsters quickly and with ease.

4. Arcana (Mage Subclass)

5. Reaper (Assassin Subclass)
Reaper is a cool new Assasin subclass that allows the player to get invisible, move around at a rapid pace, and stab enemies. Players can keep repeating this and head towards victory.
6. Lance Master (Female Martial Artist Subclass)
Lance Master is a new subclass for female Martial artists. She can switch between spear and halberd-style weapons for a vast range of swift and stunning moves.
7. Berserker (Female)
There is not much known about the female version of Berserker as Smilegate has only teased about it. To the player’s slight disappointment, it could only be a gender unlock and may not feature a different moveset or ability.
8. Aeromancer (New Specialist Class)
Aeromancer is a new Specialist class that uses an umbrella to control weather effects. As of now, there is no footage available for them.
9. Artist (New Specialist Class)
Artist is another new Specialist class that uses a paintbrush to produce a collection of moves based on ink. The visuals look absolutely stunning and creative on the screen.
When will NA, EU, UK, and others get the missing Lost Ark classes?
The missing Lost Ark classes will hopefully be added during 2022. There isn’t yet a confirmed Lost Ark roadmap that includes the new classes. Hopefully the developer can provide an updated roadmap soon so that players who are waiting to try out the Destroyer, Artist, and other classes can add the release date to their calendars.
In the meantime, players still have a good number of classes to try out. There are already a lot of characters to master. That should hopefully fill the time between now and the new classes being released.
This post will be updated with any new information regarding the new Lost Ark classes. Here’s hoping players won’t have to wait too long for more info!
The best PvE classes are as follows: S Tier: Bard / Berserker / Gunlancer. A Tier: Paladin / Gunslinger / Artillerist / Sorceress / Wardancer. B Tier: Shadowhunter / Sharpshooter / Deadeye / Deathblade.
Smilegate has confirmed it will add more classes to its MMO Lost Ark over time, although players should expect a roadmap first. As reported by PCGamesN, a Smilegate community manager named Roxx has explained that although the plan was to add 15 classes to the MMO, the studio will introduce more in the future.
As of now, there is no guarantee for when the new classes and subclasses will be added to Lost Ark, and if all of them will be added in 2022. The developers can also stretch the updates to next year as well. Let us know which class or subclass are you looking forward to the most to try out in the game.
Sorceress. The Sorceress class is one of the most reliable classes you can choose to play in Lost Ark. With an excellent range in both PvE and PvP, really high amounts of damage that is relatively easy to dish out, and an easy to grasp kit; you can never go wrong with the Sorceress.
