What do you think of arans

The only complaint I had with my Aran was the lack of a DR/weapon cancel bypassing ability; it's the only warrior without such a skill (Crash for Explorer warriors, Binding Darkness for DS, Majesty/Final Form for Kaiser). I'm okay with Combat Step; I prefer it to Slipstream/flash jump skills when it comes to dodging ohko things like Azwan/lol-fun-at-Magnus.

OT: I just got on an Aran a while ago. Like about a week and I'm at 125 right now. Training is awesome and fun, as long as you don't have too many kaisers, oops...I mean ksers on you.
And if people say your damage is bad, they are either a lumi, kaiser, or lying. Sure, we don't have a gigas wave or anything like rapid fire, but our numbers comin out of our polearms are high enough to make you feel proud of yourself.

Ps: a poster above said they have low support. Untrue. Thanks, other classes for your 30 attack buffs. Thanks, mages for your 30 magic attack buff. Thanks, ARANS, for your 30 attack AND magic attack buff.[/quote]

Since some guy pointed this thread out in the Chat section, I'd like to let everyone notice this poster's failed attempt to ride the Arab joke bandwagon.

I can Vouch that they are indeed enjoyable. You dont need a whole lot of funding to do better the ave damage. At lvl 200 I hit 800k critical's with a clean Partisan and only have about 30% Str on my Potentials. If you can get the hang CS Jump, mobility isn't much of an issue. They can be a bit of a pain in the finger tho. Lots of spamming the same key. Hyper's make them much better then before tho.

I don't play an Aran myself, but my best friend does, and I can tell they're very underrated.

Mobbing: 7~8/10 - 15/10 at level 150 with Combo Tempest and Combo Unlimited
Bossing: 6~7/10 - They're mediocre at worst.
Mobility: 4/10 - Combat Step was sped up quite a bit, but it doesn't compare to Flash Jump or Teleport. Nice charge moves, and it's not bad if you mastered the Combat Step jump.
Speed: 4/10 - 6/10 with Beyond Blade
Damage: 7/10 - My friend is mildly funded, and he's already near my Evan's range, who is 25 or so levels above him
Survivability: 8/10 - High Defense, Combo Drain, Combo Barrier oh my!
Support: 6/10 - Surprisingly helpful, if only Maha lasted longer. But I love Combo Barrier and how it helps with my squishyness

Overall, they're a very well rounded class, sitting somewhere on the better-than-normal to mediocre scale. I would make one, but they don't fit my tastes too well. Almost a direct contrast to my Mercedes actually.

[quote=sam205]First of all it wasnt arabs who were terrorist it was Al-queda recuiting people from all over the world not only from arab countries. Just saying because racism isnt cool.[/quote]

Your absolutely right! Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah were not Arab in any way! Its not like the United Arab Emirates is an Arab state also. That would just be ridiculous...

OT:

1v1: Low-Moderate
AoE: Good
Speed: Moderate
Toughness: Moderate
Level Speed: Low-Moderate
Support: Low

lol at ignorant maplers who think they know their race's and geography.

OT: Aran's are pretty dope. aside from button mashing, what really gave drive was the work towards 170. it makes attacking that much more fun.

They are fun as long as you don't mind key-mashing, pretty powerful unfunded (compared to other warriors), but the low HP sucks and most never make it past third job.

There's a lot of hatred for them, almost as much as Jett's.
