  6. NOTE: This guide is for North American (NA/US) PC TERA Online. THIS IS FOR PC NOT CONSOLE!!! Console is several patches behind.
  7. NOTE: FOR REGIONS WITH DIFFERENT GLYPHS (KR/JP/CN/TW), TALENTS (KR), AND/OR CRYSTALS (CN/TW), THIS IS SLIGHTLY INACCURATE AND YOU'D HAVE TO ADJUST FOR THEM.
  8. NOTE: BoP - Bound on Pickup (soulbound) | BoE - Bound on Equip (Bankable, Tradeable, Brokerable [as long as it says])
  9. NOTE: DO NOT USE ITEM LEVEL AS A GUIDELINE, USE THE ACTUAL STATS ON THE EQUIPMENT.

  353. C1 Class Tiers
  354. *****************************************************************************************************
  355. N O T E : Classes are more player skill than anything-- Always has, always will. EX: A Reaper can still be beaten by a Berserker if they're an unskilled player or heavily outgeared. If you can't have the mentality of bettering yourself, or looking at classes objectively then don't ask nor comment.
  356. N O T E II: PLAY WHAT IS COMFORTABLE AND FUN FOR YOU AND YOU WILL PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL THERE ARE NO DPS CHECKS A CLASS CAN'T DO.
  357. N O T E III: Only updating for current patch, don't ask for future because I dislike guesstimating.
  358. N O T E IV: Will not correct for Talents since this is an NA pastebin. We do not have the system so it's irrelevant since it's a power level we'll never play with.
