The Summoning tree allows him to summon wolves, crows, a bear, creeping vines, and several spirits that provide buffs similar to the Paladin's auras. The Shape Shifting tree allows him to become either a Werewolf based on speed or Werebear based on power, and makes him a dangerous melee combatant. Elemental makes him a caster that creates earthquakes, hurricanes and other spells based on nature. The Druid requires the most specialization of all classes, as each of his trees provide for unique play mechanics. Any number of warcries can be active at one time, further boosting the Barbarian's ability to boost his own stats as well as managing monsters. The Masteries tree contains exclusively passive skills that boost both offensive and defensive stats of the Barbarian, and the Warcries are temporary buffs the Barbarian can apply to himself and allies. The Combat Skills contains the attack skills, and allows for specialization in either one weapon (either two-handed or with a shield), two weapons or two throwing weapons. The Barbarian is the only class who can dual wield melee weapons (apart from an Assassin using claw weapons). The Barbarian is the heaviest melee class with many melee skills and passive abilities for survivability. The Trap tree allows the Assassin to throw deadly projectiles, including blades and bombs, and also includes several fire and lighting sentries that work much like the skills of the Sorceress but originating from a thrown stationary item rather than a spell.
The Shadow tree contains passive abilities, such as a skill that allows the Assassin to block attacks with claw weapons instead of a shield, and the ability to create a duplicate of the Assassin that can utilize her skills. The Assassin uses a distinct mechanic in the Martial Arts tree that involves charge up moves and finishing attacks: the Assassin can power up with up to three charges and release the charges with various finishing moves for a host of different effects. The passive abilities either augment the attack skills of the Amazon - whether ranged or melee - or provide ways for her to keep enemies off her, such as Decoy and Valkyrie. Both focuses also allows for pure physical attack skills. The attacks themselves are either fire or cold attacks for the bow and crossbow, or lightning and poison attacks for the spear and javelin.
The strongest builds are the ranged ones that utilize the bow, crossbow or javelin, while the spear builds are more risky due to the lack of a shield and the added protection it would bring.
The Amazon is a warrior who fights with the bow or spear. Though there are many unconventional builds that can use weird skill and gear combinations, the most popular builds typically fit the archetype and intended function of the class.
