The '''Artisan ''' is a mid-range [[melee ]] [[class ]] that utilizes brutal speed and accuracy, with a mastery that turns it into an art. It can attack capably from either a distance or right up close, and hold its own easily against large numbers. __TOC__<div align="center" style="border:double 3px #4D0B0B;background-color:#2B0B0B; padding:0; margin:1em 0 1em 0;">{|style="border:0; background:transparent;"|style="border:0;"|[[Image:stub_sm.jpg]]|style="border:0;color:#A0A0A0;"|The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is '''not''' an official [[class]]: It's a '''[[fan class]]'''.

===General Skill Tree Info===
The character receives 1 skill point each level, and some extra in the form of quest rewards. The maximum amount in a single skill differs with caps ar are 5, 10 and 20 as a base, but all these can reach above their limit with plus from equipment or other buffs, much like in previous game.
To be able to put points in the next tier of skills, one must have reached the level needed and put at least one point in the skill leading to the desired one, if the arrows indicate a dependence. The tiers get available on lvl 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 respectively.
===Artisan Skills===
The Artisans’ Artisans' skills are arranged into to three distinctive skill tree categories:
* Aesthetic
* Swordplay
====Aesthetic Skills====
This tree encompasses a wide range of buffs and de-buffs the Artisan has at its disposal and a small amount of slow incredibly destructive attacks which mainly focus on the artistic capabilities of the warrior. These moves require little to no [[fury]] but all have cooldown periods after their use making it ineffective for gathering [[fury]]. The passives here will increase de/buff period, increase core attack speed and magical resistances. If large amounts of points are put into here it will create a more team orientated character that can aid its allies and protect itself, but will have trouble taking on a horde alone.
====Swordplay Skills====
The skills in this tree are the main close-quarters attacks of the Artisan and are all extremely powerful and rely mainly on strength. They can be either shatteringly powerful direct attacks or large area attacks. Use of these skills requires moderate to large amounts of [[fury]]. The passives here will increase strength, both of moves and core, as well as the chance to block and dodge an enemies attack. If points are focused to heavily here the Artisan will struggle to make an effective fighting source as it constantly struggles to maintain enough fury for a solid attack, but if balanced right with other trees it could become n effective powerhouse.
====Locomotion Skills====
The skills in this tree are all moves that the Artisan will carry out from afar, applying its incredible speed to rush in, attack, and then return. These skills are for the most part, the least powerful, and most important, at the Artisan’s disposal as they are the only moves with no [[fury]] cost or cooldown period, and are therefore the best moves for gathering [fury]]. Heavy dependence on these skills will result in a conservative play style focused on attacking the most important targets in a group and then moving in for the kill.
==Development==
The Artisan is the collective result of too much spare time, an overactive over active mind and a gentle push from Leord at Diii.netby the author LonelyAnon on 17 June, 2009.
