Each page includes the pros and cons of each class and an analysis of each skill, with a rating from 0 to 5. Some quick tips are provided to get the most of your spells and weapons, and a more detailed strategy will show you how you can be useful to your team. The online component of Dark Messiah is, after all, a team-based game. No matter which class you choose, the best tip we can give you is not to give up after your first game: spend some time with all the classes, experimenting with the various skills, and after a couple or rounds you will start to get kills on a regular basis. And that's when the game gets really fun.
