In Lost Ark, there are so many classes to choose from that the new players are overwhelmed. This lost ark guide contains information about the best class and why they might be a good option for you below. Also, it tells you whether you can change classes.

• Warrior: Berserker / Paladin / Gunlancer

Best Classes to Choose in Lost Ark
1. Best Beginner Classes
1). Berserker
The best beginner class is the Warrior with the advanced class Berserker. The Berserker wields a greatsword capable of doing massive damage without getting too close to their enemies. This class is highly straightforward and has ample health, so you're not going to be taken out so easily.
2). Summoner
Another great beginner's class is the Mage, with the advanced class Summoner. The Summoner can bring forth multiple pets that will battle for you, leaving you at a safe distance. The damage output is adequate, so if you're after a ranged class and are just now getting the hang of the game, take the Summoner.
2. Best Tank Class
For tanks, no class can compete with the advanced Warrior class Gunlancer. With a lance that allows for some range between them and their enemies and a massive shield to tank damage, this class is the perfect choice if you're looking to soak up enemy attacks for your allies. With great HP, great armor, and defensive skills, there is no better tanking role than the Gunlancer.
3. Best Support Class
Those who want to step back and help out their allies should choose the advanced Mage class, Bard. The Bard might be vulnerable to enemy attacks, but they boast plenty of spells to buff themselves and allies, as well as some moderate damage to get out of sticky situations. It may take a little getting used to this role, but once you've got it down, there is no better way to support your allies in Lost Ark.
4. Best DPS Class
Most of the classes in Lost Ark do significant damage, and there are multiple that do tremendous damage, but the advanced Gunner class Sharpshooter stands out. It allows the player to remain at a safe distance and deal with devastating hits. With long-range bolts from bows and summons available to help out in combat, this is the perfect class for players who want to focus solely on DPS.
Can You Change Your Class in Lost Ark?
If you wonder if you can change your class in the game, the answer is no. Once you pick your class and your subclass, that is it; you are locked in in that character. While that might sound rough, you can start a new subclass just by creating a new character, and you can use a Powerpass to speed up the process in some cases.
There is also an essential factor to consider: Lost Ark is exceptionally generous when changing your abilities. You can adjust your abilities and have your skill points whenever you like.
As such, you can experiment with your class almost endless and set up multiple skill trees that you can quickly switch over to, allowing you to set up a character with different builds depending on what you want to do in the game.
So, while you cannot change the subclass of your character, that is relatively standard for games of this type. But, in many ways, Lost Ark is very respectful of players' time, giving them as much freedom as possible when playing with builds.
