Those Who Came First

After completing their class promotion, many classes received a considerable boost in burst damage, especially mages who admittedly walked the path of glass cannons, given that their class specialized in cloth armors. Blacksmiths couldn't create the armor they wore; instead, classes that used leather and cloth armor would require Tailors when seeking special armor that needed item designs.
While Bastion's Defense skyrocketed, he felt like the odd one out. His only role was to defend, as even his offensive skills focused on multiplying aggro rather than inflicting real damage. Even if he pooled every Unassigned Attribute Point into Strength, he would fail to reach even the shadow of offensive classes.
"C'mon, bud; you know your time to shine is when we act as a party. No one here can claim to equal you in Defense," Nemean said when he noticed Bastion's faint frown.
