AOC Races and Classes

The AOC Guide to races and classes lists a short description of the 3 race types, namely the Aquilonians, Cimmerians, and Stygians and the many classes available to them. When creating a character in AOC you will need to choose both a race and a class.

Age of Conan does not have elves, dwarves or other common race types that many otner typical MMORPG's have.  Each of the three races have their own advantages and disadvantages in each type of class. Stygian's are best identified for the magical abilities and Cimmerians for their skills with a blade so in choosing your race care must be taken or it may hinder the class you may choose if incorrect. 

The Warrior is best for the Aquilonian race in either an offensive or defensive role. Other classes to select from for the race include Assassin, Ranger, Barbarian, Guardian, Dark Templar, Priest of Mitra and Conqueror.

Most suited to the Cimmerians race is a more offensive type class and this includes the Bear Shaman, Ranger, Barbarian, Conqueror, Guardian and Dark Templar.

Finally we have the Styfians, which can choose from just about all the mage classes and are the only race capable of being a damage dealing mage. Classes to choose from include, Demonologist, Herald of Xotli, Necromancer, Assassin, Ranger, and the Tempest of Set.

In common to all races is the Ranger class and all races has at least one choice of magic user classes.

Archtypes are split up into four main categories Mages, Priests, Rogues and Soldiers and can be considered as separation of characters types such as damage dealers, healers, tanks and so on.

Also three different class choices exist under each archtype. All classes are different from each other and are not available for every race.

Overwhelming the choice can be when taking into the consideration the race and class system of Age Of Conan. The Age Of Conan Guide provides an in depth analysis of each race and class in detail and assists you make considered decisions for choosing the right character that suits your play styles.
