Korean recruitment opinion · About these guides
When reading a class tier list for Korea's Snowfield of Grief Sanctuary, separate personal damage potential from the ease of finding a group. The source favors Chanters and ranged damage roles in its example, while a role with one slot can face competition even when it is important.
This is a September 19, 2026 Korean recruitment opinion, not an official ranking or equal-conditions DPS test. Snowfield of Grief is a descriptive English rendering of the Korean Sanctuary name; do not infer current global availability.
The source's recruitment assessment
The original used a hierarchy metaphor to emphasize demand. Here are its role judgments and the composition behind them:
| Class or role | Source's recruitment view | Reason in its example |
|---|---|---|
| Chanter | Highest demand | Two desired slots and reportedly few applicants |
| Ranged damage | High preference | Four damage slots in the proposed composition |
| Cleric | Relatively favorable | Two healing slots, placed below ranged damage by the source |
| Gladiator | Middle of the comparison | One or two considered depending on composition |
| Templar | Watch the available slot | A needed role, but commonly only one sought in this example |
| Brawler and Assassin | Less favored in the source's example | Limited melee-damage space; Brawler is part of the Korean roster discussed, not one of global's eight showcased launch classes |
The table does not decide which classes can clear. Ranged damage is grouped as a role, so it cannot be unpacked into a precise ranking of individual ranged classes.
Why the source puts Chanter first
A supply-and-demand argument
Its proposed setup puts one Chanter in each of two parties. The author reports that filling those places is difficult because fewer Chanters apply.
A desired role with few available applicants can have recruitment value beyond its individual damage output.
The applicant shortage is the author's experience, not a measured census or a study of waiting times across every server.
Role preference still matters
High demand in one activity does not make Chanter the best choice for every player. Consider whether you enjoy its contribution and controls.
Before abandoning an existing main, inspect real listings on your own server and at your playtime. The source's snapshot may not describe the groups available to you.
Ranged damage and healing slots
The example assigns four ranged-damage places and two Clerics, one per party. More listed places help explain the opinion, without establishing actual applicant competition.
Remember that slot count and competition are different measures. Many applicants can still make a role competitive, and this source does not establish class-specific minimum gear requirements.
A healer being needed also does not mean automatic acceptance. Match the group's progression point, expectations, and intended composition.
Templar, Gladiator, Brawler, and Assassin
Templar: an important role can still have one opening
The source's concern is the number of places, not proof that tanking performance is poor. Once the role is filled, another applicant has fewer openings.
Distinguish the role's importance from whether this particular roster still needs it.
Gladiator: composition changes the answer
The source considers one or two in some setups, while its table below includes one Gladiator in the second party.
Ask what the recruitment listing expects the Gladiator to do rather than treating its placement as a universal fixed rank.
Brawler and Assassin: lower preference does not mean unable to clear
The source rates them less favorably for its proposed roster. It does not establish that every group should exclude them or that the encounter cannot be cleared with them.
Explain the role and mechanics you can handle. A coordinated static and a fresh pickup group can recruit differently.
The proposed ten-player example
The source's two-party example allocates the roles as follows. It is a proposal behind the opinion, not a mandatory raid composition or a statement that this Sanctuary is currently available on global.
| Group | Composition |
|---|---|
| Party 1 | 1 Templar + 2 ranged damage + 1 Chanter + 1 Cleric |
| Party 2 | 1 Gladiator + 2 ranged damage + 1 Chanter + 1 Cleric |
| Total | 1 Templar, 1 Gladiator, 4 ranged damage, 2 Chanters, 2 Clerics |
This explains why the source values two Chanters and four ranged slots while seeing limited room for additional Templars. Recruitment structure is part of the opinion.
Other difficulties, patches, strategies, and groups can use different compositions. Treat this as one example rather than a required solution.
Three checks before applying
-
Check the remaining role. A well-regarded class still cannot fill a role the roster no longer needs.
-
Match the progression goal. A first-clear group and a group practicing a late mechanic may expect different experience.
-
Explain your contribution. Alongside gear, describe the phases learned and the roles you can perform.
These are application tips, not replacements for the actual entry rules or verified performance requirements.
Common questions
Is this a DPS ranking?
No. It describes the source's recruitment preferences and desired role counts, not matched damage tests.
Does it prove Chanter is the strongest class?
No. Demand in this proposed roster does not establish overall performance in PvP or other dungeons.
Is the system limited to one Templar?
No such restriction follows from the example. One desired tank slot is a recruitment choice, not proof of a duplicate-class entry ban.
Should Brawler or Assassin players switch class?
This opinion alone is insufficient. Consider real available groups, invested progression, and the playstyle you enjoy.
Will the assessment remain valid?
Not necessarily. Balance, learned strategies, and recruitment patterns change. Read it as the source's September 19 Korean snapshot, including the fact that global has a different launch roster and progression timeline.
