Taoist

The nimble ninjas of C9 are quick striking and hard hitting. They have a lot of attacks that can close distances between the opponent very quickly for surpise attacks.They can specialize in magical attacks, physical attacks, or a mix both. Plenty of their moves have a lot of invincible frames, though this is balanced by low defense compared to the fighter classes.

There are tons of skills available to taoists compared to other classes, so many builds are possible. Most people tend to settle on specializing in magical or physical moves.

Magical Taoist
Taoists that specialize in all magic moves will have more ranged attacks to surprise the opponent in addition to dashes, which is excellent for pvp use. They will use staffs.

Physical Taoist
Specializing in all physical moves gives a lot of melee smashes, essentially becoming a hard hitting martial arts monk. Physical taoists excel at pve since their fury and ultimate fury rely on physical strength. They will use rods.

Hybrid Taoist
Hybrids sacrifice absolute max physical or magic attack in exchange for above average power in both. They will max the strongest skills from magical and physical making them well rounded. They can equip any mix of gear to tune their WIS and STR balance
