Magician
An illusion/deception caster built on a card-suit toolkit. Great crowd control and flashy tricks make it a respected PvP pick, but the RNG card cycle and lower damage keep it a B-tier in serious PvE.
Role
Illusion / deception caster
Core Mechanic
Card deck — each skill maps to a suit (Clubs/Diamonds/Hearts/Spades); casting plays the matching card from a hand of up to seven, so hand management drives the rotation.
PvE Tier
PvEBPvP Tier
PvPBPlaystyle
