15 classes.
Very different possibilities.
Command the dead. Fight beside a beast. Keep a party alive through a desperate pull. Each class brings its own way to change a fight.
Meet the Primal
Primal
A wild guardian who chooses beast bond, animal shape, or restorative growth.
Three Mastery disciplines
- Bonded
Hone your hunting instincts and commit to a lifelong animal companion.
- Wildform
Build resilience and pursuit skills before committing to complete animal forms.
- Regrowth
Prepare living healing that spreads toward changing wounds and protects the group.
Build with intention
Your class gives you a start.
You decide where to take it.
Attributes, Skills, equipment, and Mastery let you develop what your class can do. Follow the combinations that make you want to try something new.
- Attributes
- Build the Strength, Agility, Insight, and other Attributes your equipment requires. A useful bonus can open the door to another piece.
- Skills
- Train toward the weapons and abilities you want to use. Skill thresholds can unlock a stronger form of an ability.
- Mastery
- Invest across three class disciplines. Specialize deeply or combine them, with Keystones that can change how you fight.
Skill breakthroughs
Choose where to specialize.
Your Skill Points are limited, so focus on the Skills that suit the way you want to play. Training and equipment can help you reach breakthroughs that give your abilities new effects.
A Necromancer's Scrapdead begins with one active summon. Reach Binding 7 and Bound Remains lets you maintain a second.
Breakthroughs activate automatically while your current Skills meet their requirements.

Some loot improves a build.
Some loot starts one.
A good random roll. A boss's signature piece. A Unique with an effect you can build around. Different discoveries give you different reasons to head back out.
Wear your next breakthrough.
Venn's Twelve-Column Robe raises every Magic Skill. The right bonus can bring an ability's next threshold within reach.
Keep working on a good roll.
Use Shards to reshape eligible equipment. An Exalting Shard promotes a Reforgeable Rare item to Exotic and adds a random affix.

A life beyond the fight
Make something
someone needs.
Choose one of eight professions as a permanent part of your character. Gather materials, learn recipes, and turn the day's work into something another adventurer can use.
- Brew healing potions for the next trip.
- Cut a gem, enchant a pair of gloves, or craft a larger bag.
- Find a rare recipe and learn to make something new.
A find can matter to someone else.
Buy and sell through the Broker. Spare equipment, materials, and tradeable spellbooks can fund your next idea—or help another player finish theirs.
Salvager's Cache
Good company.
Bad odds.
Gather a party and head below Rimwatch. Six bosses stand between you and the kind of find that makes another run irresistible. Plan your pulls, time your interrupts, and watch each other's backs.

someone with their own plan.
