Cryoknight, Guardian and Hammermage are the three faction choices. They shape compatible equipment and crafting identity, not a conventional tank/healer/DPS queue. Combat is a single global profession following the March 2025 rework; the old separate Guard, Scout, Minefighter and Watchperson combat levels are obsolete.
