Best Skills for All Classes in Arcane Conquest

Class	Best Skills	Reasoning
Champion	Assault Skills: Master of War, Rune of Thorns, Rune of Flames Wind Skills: Surefooted, Dash, Improved Dash, Deadly Rush	Since Champion is the top melee DPS, it's just natural to increase his best skills even further with extra damage from the Assault skill tree. However, Champion lacks range, so it's vital to increase his speed with the Wind skill tree.
Elementalist	Assault Skills: Unending Resolve, Sorcerous Rage, Rune of Flames Shield Skills: Defensive Training, Mending Herbs, Determined Spirit, Second Wind	Elementalist is the top magic DPS, so pick skills from the Assault skill tree that increase its spellcasting abilities. Since Elementalist has very low health, it's important to be able to self heal as well as possible using the Shield skill tree.
Paladin	Assault Skills: Master of War, Rune of Thorns, Rune of Flames Wind Skills: Surefooted, Daring Vault, Dash, Roll With It, Improved Dash, Deadly Rush	Paladin is the top tank class in the game, but it lacks a bit in terms of damage, so be sure to improve his stats with the Assault skill tree. But Paladin has very low sustained DPS, which must be corrected with the Wind skills that will allow you to pressure opponents.
Shadowmancer	Assault Skills: Unending Resolve, Sorcerous Rage, Rune of Flames Shield Skills: Restorative Training, Herbal Aura, Second Wind	Shadowmancer is an excellent team supporter and healer, which is why it's crucial to improve its team healing abilities using the cooperative Shield skills.
Arcanist	Assault Skills: Unending Resolve, Sorcerous Rage, Rune of Flames Shield Skills: Defensive Training, Mending Herbs, Determined Spirit, Second Wind Wind Skills: Surefooted, Dash, Improved Dash, Deadly Rush	Arcanist is the weakest class in the game, so be sure to invest your skill points in all three skill trees, as it lacks practically in all departments.
