Why do arans suck so much now

Hey guys
so i was wondering to all those non-aran, non-biased people,
When on earth do arans become good?
I am highly funded (not godly) and i still get my lv 46 bum ksed the heck in truckers because people are long ranged/faster 1 hitters.
I totally made this char based on thinking it would be a good grinder and help me avoid many ksers. isnt doing a fair well job,

any comments or suggestions to a new job would be helpful, thanks!
And no I do not hate truckers, i just foreshadow a bad future of being ksed at gallos like a somboddeeee

@Akaizer Thanks for the helpful info, so Should i just practice using my combat step on hotkey and jump right away?
And also, what are some good alternatives for lv 50-64ish?

atm, arans are very powerful and easily be one of the top 5 dpm classes in maplestory. the weakness now however, is our ability to not ks very well. Why? Well, in order to reach our full potential we need combos, and guess what, when theres a ks war going on, your not going to build that much combos... So until after maple chaos when we get new skills, we wont be very potent when it comes to ksing.

[quote=dbswjddn]If I do continue my aran, is there some trick to combo step or somthing that makes me jump like a dawn warrior one?
Also what are some recommended hunting spots for 50-70? I recently hit 51 so i got my pac, zhelm, etc goin on.
At 64 are jesters recommended?[/quote]
jump right after you do combat step (without holding down any arrow keys) will make a combat jump.
Might be easier if you hotkey it. but still possible with double tap of arrow.

arans were amazing at first b/c they were the only OP class. then nexon balanced and super nerfed. ALSO, arans a pretty slow, and there long range attacks, u need combos...
now, every1 just goes for dbs. cuz there the OP class, and they are WAY faster, and look cool with thief quips.
other than that, arans r cool. they are like ice, and wolves. (a perfect combo)
and they have the coolest mount (dragon comes in close second).

My aran got stronger over BB, I quit it now though just get on every now and then. I started on a Paladin.

arans dont get that good until 3rd job. and the reason your having so much trouble at truckers is that truckers are crap. the spawn rate for a lot of mobs have been drastically increased. i'm sure u can find a much better map then truckers for an aran.

aran's dmg is bigger now, post - BB but, because of the new accuracy formula, the training options are limited.
im suprised no one said anything about not actually being able to train on the monsters you used to train on which are barely changed.
arans need a lot of combos, and for a lot of combos arans need huge mobs and high hp monsters, and those ae usually higher lvled monsters, for example TJ, which pre - BB lvls 55+ could train on, and now if the same stats applied to the new accuracy formula you wouldnt hit it once.

NU UH ARANS BECAME MORE GODLY SINCE BB. >:O
ALLURBASEBELONGSTOME >:l
I do around 7ks with full swing and i usually did around 3k post-BB.
And Combo Smash does around 20k for me. LVL 74 here.

Lol you're 46 of course you think you suck.

Arans didn't get as buffed as other adventurer classes. also Arans have that 3 hit combo attack. 1 3hit combo attack does more Dmg than other classes usually, but each hit does kinda small Dmg the people at truckers can 1 hit months mobs and that's why u get ksed so much.
correct me if I'm wrong

@Akaizer: oh sorry. Well I'm just saying you guys get KSed because you guys usually ONE hit meaning like ONE swing not a full set of swings...

[quote=Akaizer]stop training at noob places.
Why would you force yourself to train at places where you get to kill 1-2 monsters every 2-3mins?
Even if the monsters gave you amazing XP, it will still be slower than training anywhere else.

is what you are supposed to feel.

Drain covers my hp for training on mobs that hit 3k+
Drain covers all boss's dmg (pap, zak, targ, anything)
Combat jump = mobility
i dish out over mills per second.
fenrir hits over 200k x2 x10monsters...
sigh...with great power comes great boredom.

If you think your aran sucks,
Yer doin it wrong.

Very VERY true.

[quote=setevensin]Arans don't suck.... I would just say they are ksable due to weaker first and 2nd swings...[/quote]

my second is nowhere near weak.
i usually ks with final blow anyways.

They're not weaker, it's just that Arans were meant to train on mass mobs with good hp/exp ratio. Due to the Big Bang update, masses of ksers with long range and all have come into the most popular maps, thus sapping away the original Aran experience.

Do you think arans is weaker now? did u even noticed that the combo counter almost never disappears? arans are good.

Because Nexon says so.

I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way about their class now though.

When the re-organization update comes. Right now they're pretty crappy compared to a lot of the Explorer classes. I quit my Aran a while ago, glad I did.
