For reference, you can find Class/Subclass Icons in game.pak, under the folder Public\Game\GUI\Assets\ClassIcons.

The second smaller version is located in the "Hotbar" folder, and is shown when selecting the Class/Subclass in the Character Creation Screen, or in the left-hand side of the hotbar. | For reference, you can find Class/Subclass Icons in game.pak, under the folder Public\Game\GUI\Assets\ClassIcons.
