Other than the obvious difference of adding in a tree of lots of classes, one of the differences in this reorganization compared to the four basic classes above is that instead of having the typical "ranged, melee; offensive magic, defensive magic" breakdown it instead has a "speed, power; holy, elemental" breakdown where the choices are orthogonal rather than opposites. You could play an offensive Druid (fireball...) or a defensive Druid (ice shield...); an offensive Priest (curse, blight, turn undead...) or a defensive Priest (ward, heal, resurrect...); a ranged Scout (i.e. Archer) or a melee Scout (just hit them really often); a ranged Warrior (e.g. Berserker with the sprinting skill) or a melee Warrior (just hit them really hard). I think this makes for more interesting play since the classes aren't so typecasted.
