need not conform to rigidly defined classes, or perhaps more
importantly, the standard roles typically associated with a class-based

Taking things one step further, the role you assume in combat can also
be altered through the use of Builds. The system is fairly robust and
allows you to switch between offensive, defensive, balanced or support

into the grand scheme of builds in CO, we’ve put together a
extensive guide on all things build related.
