Pretty much it, prob forgot some more bind but meh

what do these mean in more general layman terms? i'm ms nooblord

Google. Don't pm me asking what google means.

Beast Tamer and Bishop are the main support classes.

Bishop is the standard buff/heal mage. I haven't played a Beast Tamer, Google it.

bishop and beast tamer offer a plethora of buffs.

phantom can be considered a support class if you just steal 4 buffs like hs/hb etc etc

bind classes are used to boss end game, mainly hard magnus. makes life a LOT easier. probs not work making a bind class just for this.

kanna increases map spawn rate. so it can theoretically be considered a support class. most people just level this to 170~ and increase spawn rates in HoH or something. hope it helped
