CLASS COMBINATION GUIDES

Use this page to find or create three-class build guides.

Select three classes below. If a guide already exists, you will be taken to it. If it does not exist yet, logged-in users with page creation permissions can create it.

FIND OR CREATE A GUIDE

Choose three classes to open an existing trio guide or create a new one.

About Build Guides

Build guides are meant to help players understand how three classes work together as a practical trio.

GROUP ROLES

Main tank, main healer, puller, crowd control, damage, travel, recovery tools, and utility.

COMBAT TOOLS

Pulling, healing, crowd control, tanking, damage, buffs, debuffs, active skills, disciplines, and emergency tools.

PROGRESSION

Leveling strategy, dungeon camps, outdoor camps, gear priorities, AA priorities, quests, and items.

SYNERGY

Spell, song, active skill, discipline, pet, heal, buff, debuff, and utility interactions between the three classes.

There are 540 possible three-class combinations, so many pages may not exist yet. If your combination does not exist, feel free to create it.

Contributor Guidelines

CONTRIBUTOR GUIDELINES

When creating a new class-combination guide:

Use the page name generated by the selector.
Focus on how the classes work together rather than rewriting the individual class pages.
Link back to the individual class pages for class-specific details, such as spell lists, song lists, active skills, disciplines, and AAs.
Use existing single-class pages as references, but do not copy large sections from them unless they directly apply to the combination.
Add practical advice: camps, roles, tactics, strengths, weaknesses, and gear priorities.
See the Sample Build for formatting help.

New Guide Starter Template

NEW GUIDE STARTER TEMPLATE

Copy and paste the following into a new class-combination page, then replace ClassA, ClassB, and ClassC with the actual class names. It is recommended to CTRL-F the source code in an editor with find-and-replace.

Important transclusion note: Probably don't touch these sections, and do not wrap #lst or #lsth table transclusions in #if. Parser functions can break wiki-table output. Empty ability panels are hidden automatically by the skin script when the transcluded section is blank.
