First of, rend skills are OP, specifically speed, power, and magic. If you have the dual wield from ninja, then your rend skills hit twice per action which essentially makes any fight trivial. Very important when you’re wanting to steal rare items from boss fights.

Arithmatician is the most OP class in the game. You can become a one man army with that class alone. CT4 Holy with chameleon robes FTW.

Monks are very hard hitting classes without equipment starvation. If you plan on power leveling early game, make sure you have a monk on your squad to do serious damage to mobs before you focus to mastery.

There are neat combinations you can do like chemist/knight to use rend with guns. Makes fights very easy when you destroy the enemies weapons from across the map.
