Use the classes you want, don't care about what that document says, it's just a review, a personal view of one of Legacy's betatesters.
As for the classes, here is what I found in one of our document about the game:
"The game has seven different character classes, most of them have advantages and disadvantages. Increasing the prominent attributes are recommended.
1. Adventurer: a balanced class, with no special advantages - but no disadvantages. This class can advance the easiest. No prominent attributes.
2. Knight: can wear and take advantage of shields, heavy armors and heavy weapons (mostly blades), and can cast some cure spells. Prominent attributes: strength, endurance.
3. Highlander: tough character, with large endurance and strength. Excells with heavy weapons. Prominent attributes: strength, endurance.
4. Swordmaster: excellent fighter when armed with swords, sabres and battle swords, but unskilled in using heavy weapons and in wearing heavy armors. Prominent attribute: dexterity.
5. Mage: feeble character who is very unskilled in using armors, weapons and shields, but can cast any kind of spells. This class can advance the hardest. Prominent attribute: intelligence.
6. Cleric: somewhat stronger than the mage, can use light weapons, armors, and skilled in using maces and hammers. Can cast party and cure spells. Prominent attributes: intelligence, endurance.
7. Battlemage: somewhat stronger than the mage, can use light weapons, armors and weapons, but can cast only curse and attack spells. Prominent attribute: intelligence."
I hope it helps. : ) So the prominent attributes are the real difference. Of course different weapons and items needs different attributes to use them effectively. For example, if you want to wear/use a heavy armor/weapon with a mage class you can wield it with a penalty so it's not recommended to do that. : )
