- assassin = can do ranged combat with a bow and has very high hit rate and dodge rate, so you will hit almost 100% of the time and will dodge probably about 50% of the time. the hp is high enough that you also don't have to worry too much if you are hit a few times. medium damage.
- priest = summons spirits and other creatures to assist in battle. good defense, but not so good as paladin, and with the summons this class has the 2nd highest attack power in the game. this is the healer class and works best in teams.
- wizard = very high damage and low defense and low hp. also has access to early AOE spell for killing groups of mobs. deals primarily in either hit n' run strategies or using a lot of hp potions. has other spells that do a good job typically of helping you kill the monster before it can get too close to you.

The details can be found on in >>this thread<<.

(It is currently an unavailable feature)
(Origin Reply #15 below here) - Q) How can I remove sounds COMPLETELY from the game?
A) (Origin Reply #21 below here)
If you have trouble turning off sounds, and you would like to listen to some sweet tunes, but it annoys that sometimes the game sounds just disturb the music, here is a workaround for the issue. I'm not sure how "legal" this is but it might help some players, of course until the sound bugs get fixed.
- Navigate to: <DO Install Folder>\Res for example: C:\Program Files\Phoenix Dynasty Online\Res
- Find the file named "ResSnd.lib" or "ResSnd" if you dont have the "display extensions" option enabled.
- Rename it, to make it safe rename it into something similar, like: "_ResSnd.lib"
- Start your client and upon loading the client, it will give you an error about not having DirectSound, etc etc.
- Press the okay button. Presto no sounds
