5 Years Veteran Returns

Yo!
Last time I played MS was back in 2011 and I'm pretty sure I played for 5 yearsish. I main'd NightLord which was pretty much best bossing class back then.

I've been working and decided to have mapletstory as my stress reliever/relaxation time again.

Question is what's the top 3 bossing classes out atm?
I know there's never "1" so your opinion on top 3 please!

Solo bossing/bossing, funded, PQs

And i'll be in bora! Add me Yo!

Paladins are getting nerfed significantly more than phantoms, you should probably mention that as well.

[quote=MrSinDeath19]I don't think people understand math. The Phantom "Nerf" is the DK skill going from 100% range boost to 80%. Losing 20% of your damage is a hit but it doesn't drop them drastically down the ladder.[/quote]
nah bro, that 20% decrease + arrow blaster from 12.5 hits/sec to 8.33 hits/sec and % decrease on it. making rf the highest dps. here's the math cause im feeling mathy:
arrow blaster, 220% x 12.5 = 2750% arrow blaster turret, 153% x 12.5 = 1912.5%, carte noire (with 100% crit cause any funded phantom has it) 270% x 12.5 = 3375
2750 + 1912 + 3375 = 8037% per second. minus 2000 on some bosses cause turret isnt always effective. still 6000%
after nerf, with rf: 300% x 8.33 = 2499, carte noire, 270% x 8.33 2249
2500 + 2250 = 4750
around 40% decrease in dmg if you can use the turret on the boss. 20% decrease even not using it, add that to the 20% decrease from xoverchains. one of the bigger nerfs in nexon's history.

that being said, i main a phantom and i'm stoked for this nerf. i want all these kids to quit this class cause I just love playing them. and the playstyle with rf is soo much better and a ton easier on bossing because you're mobile while attacking. it sucks using blaster and having to stop to dodge and re start. idc if my damage gets halved, still will be near the top in bossing. (which just shows how op they are atm).

have a wonderful day all you maplers,

[quote=FiendOverlord]Top bossers would be:
Zero*
Shade
Phantom**

Followerd by:
Kaiser
Paladin
Dark Knight

*Zero is unfunded friendly because of the high percents on it skills and the fact that you can cube its weapon with mesos. The only drawback is that it requires a lot of control which is not really a problem once you get used to it.

**Phantom's getting nerfed.[/quote]

Also your last 2(Paladins and Drk) are getting nerfed. Especially Paladins nerf is worst. Zero is a great bosser if you can use it correctly. Shade I can agree with.
