Role comparison

Blade

Melee and Chi

The blade’s weapon mechanics differ from a hammer’s rage loop.

Hammer

Melee and Rage

Power attacks and rage-related effects support the named Demolish/Seethe pairing.

Fist Weapons

Melee and healing options

Fist skills offer their own resource and utility choices, not a passive conversion of another weapon.

Blood Magic

Magic and corruption/martyrdom

Its resource tradeoffs need their own setup rather than a generic caster bar.

Chaos Magic

Magic and paradox mechanics

A separate magic family with tanking and other utility choices.

Elementalism

Heat-based elemental magic

Manage the elemental resource instead of copying another caster’s sequence.

Assault Rifle

Ranged rifle and grenades

Grenade-related actions form a different resource cycle from Shotgun ammunition.

Dual Pistols

Ranged paired pistols

The pistol chamber mechanic gives different offensive and utility choices.

Shotgun

Ranged ammunition choices

The selected setup uses Raging Shot and Shell Salvage alongside the basic Pump Action.
