 There are three primary class Archetypes in Return of Reckoning, which are:
-*DPS: Short for "Damage-per-second", these are the damage dealers. These are broken into Melee or Ranged damage dealers, with many variations and unique mechanics per class. If you want to kill things, or deal the finishing blow, pick a DPS class.

 *Tank: The frontlines of most engagements and protectors of their teammates. Tanks in Return of Reckoning gain the ability to intercept half the damage meant for another player onto themselves. If you want to be in melee range in most brawls while also supporting your team, try playing a Tank.
-*Healer: Healers not only save their teammates from death but can even ressurect fallen allies in combat. They're crucial for success, and their off-spec allows players to try a more DPS focused twist on this archetype.

Working on building out a new page to help newer players get started! Still very much WIP.

New page

(WIP)

If you're a new player in ''Return of Reckoning'', there's likely a lot to take in all at once! This guide will walk you step-by-step through many of the basics to getting started in the world of Warhammer.

== Installing the Game ==

Start by creating an account on the RoR Website.

You can download the majority of game files directly on the RoR Website or via Torrent, and Torrent is recommended as the fastest route.

Once complete, the launcher will download some additional files and then you'll be all set!

== Selecting a Realm and Class ==

Return of Reckoning is a team-based game, meaning all classes are built to work together with others of the same Realm. It's important to remember that grouping up with others, be it small-scale or large-scale, is a key part of the meta game.

The population of each realm shifts constantly, and often ebbs and flows every few months from outnumbered to dominating. Start with whichever faction you think looks most appealing. (You can always try the other later.)

There are three primary class Archetypes in Return of Reckoning, which are:

*DPS: Short for "Damage-per-second", these are the damage dealers. These are broken into Melee or Ranged damage dealers, with many variations and unique mechanics per class. If you want to kill things, or deal the finishing blow, pick a DPS class.
*Tank: The frontlines of most engagements and protectors of their teammates. Tanks in Return of Reckoning gain the ability to intercept half the damage meant for another player onto themselves. If you want to be in melee range in most brawls while also supporting your team, try playing a Tank.
*Healer: Healers not only save their teammates from death but can even ressurect fallen allies in combat. They're crucial for success, and their off-spec allows players to try a more DPS focused twist on this archetype.

Once you know the Archetype you'd like to try, it's time to pick a class, each of which has different playstyles and quirks. For a full list, please see the [[Classes]] page.
