Books or courses on Gamedev?

Question

Game development

Hello, please tell me if there are courses or books on the design of combat systems, character classes in MMORPG games. I couldn't find more specific information, I guess I'm not quite right on Google. It is the methods of creating abilities, the unique interactions of these abilities with each other, the balance of classes, etc. that are of interest. As I understand it, it is somehow tied to mathematics, numbers and calculations. I can not understand in which direction to dig. Thank you.

Start with the book by Vyacheslav Utochkin and Konstantin Sakhnov "I want to join gamedev! Fundamentals of game development for beginners". Then decide what and where to look.
