## Which class should i start with?

In Entropia, each class is carefully balanced and has its own unique strengths and weaknesses.  Each class provides different benefits, with some being more suitable for farming and others for tanking, among other things. The best way to begin is to choose a class that suits your preferred playstyle and start playing what you enjoy.\
