EverQuest II: The 26 classes by archetype

EverQuest II: The 26 classes by archetype. Compare their roles and mechanics, then open the available detailed configurations to see exact selections.

EverQuest II presents several layers of character growth, but the first practical step is a readable class setup. Learn the abilities you currently have, keep appropriate equipment ready and use the updated Help window when a new system appears. A feature available on one server or account should not be assumed available on every other one.

The live-game roster has Fighter, Priest, Mage and Scout archetypes, including Beastlord and Channeler. Server rules and account access can exclude classes on special progression services. The featured level-55 configuration uses Live spell-line naming, not an unverified Origins or raid build.
