In traditional MMORPGs, healers are often the class that is most sought after by groups of all sizes. Damage dealers are always plentiful and tanks... well, you only need one or two.

The good news is that you’ll find that ALL three Riftforge archetypes are essential, so no matter which one you choose, you’ll never be sitting by the sideline. Your skills as a player alone will determine how many invites you'll receive, not your class choice.

Now the bad news: there is NO healer archetype! You’ll be able to hire support troops that will accompany your commander in battle. Some of them fulfill the role of a healer, in case you need it for the particular mission. There will also be a way for you to enhance and specialize your battlefield medics.

Another reason you won’t find a healer archetype in the Riftforge military is historic realism. Just try to name a famous commander who fits the description of a healer! Imagine Florence Nightingale on a horse!

At the same time, there are numerous examples of generals who exemplify the three Riftforge archetypes. Genghis Khan would surely roll a Raider, while Napoleon as artillery officer will love the Rangers!
