11 The Inquisitor is a plate-wearing melee tank built around mental domination and anti-magic. The official archetype phrase is Anti-Magic Tyrant. It silences, dispels, drains mana and raises magical barriers, and it redistributes the mana it steals to its allies. It excels against spellcasters while remaining capable against physical opponents.

44 Identity and role
55  
66 The rework separated the Inquisitor from the Enchanter. Where the two shared spells, the Inquisitor's versions were rebuilt around aggression and proximity rather than finesse, and grab-bag utility was cut to free up ability slots. Anti-melee options were added, but at a mana cost, which creates a real tradeoff against the class's primary role. Overall damage went up slightly, particularly against casters.

88 The Inquisitor is a knight, and the knight classes took a set of shared changes in the rework: Deflect, Weapon Shield and Focused Concentration were removed, Kick was replaced with a shield-based interrupt, and all knights gained fast-casting short-range abilities suitable for tanking under pressure.

1212 The Inquisitor is open to Deep Dwarf, Deep Elf, High Elf and Human, one of the shortest race lists in the roster.

1414 That list covers the full designed race roster. Deep Dwarf and High Elf are designed but are not among the races playable at Early Access launch on October 1 2026, so the practical choice at launch is the remainder of the list.

3030 Playing an Inquisitor in a group

3232 Class details below come from the ability rework that rolled onto the closed beta servers through 2026. The developers state plainly that there is a high probability some aspects will change before they reach the beta servers, so treat specific ability behaviour as a snapshot of the beta build rather than a settled launch state.

3434 The Inquisitor is the tank you bring to a caster fight. Reflecting Bash is the most pointed example: it punishes a caster for the spell it was casting and then locks that school out. Pillage Mana turns an enemy's mana bar into group resource, which in a game with real downtime between pulls is a meaningful contribution.

3636 It is not a replacement for the Fighter on pure mitigation and threat, and it holds the Primary haste aura for the group. See Classes for the roster-wide haste tiers and knight changes, Combat for the combat basics, Grouping for how groups share experience, and Travel for movement between zones.
