Night Walker vs Night Lord

Hey guys. I want to make either an NL or a NW. Due to my connection, I cant really jump attack the way people do to maximise their damage as a NW. Should I make an NL then or will I still be better off as an NW? I will be able to fund a full Cra set along with some Luk% if funding makes a difference.

@SheepPB: Nightlords are still gonna have a better chance to get updated/changed compared to NW. How many times were Explorers cchanged and buffed before they revamped Cygnus?
Yeah NW are gonna get nerfed in 6months but I was just making a generalization. Like after that nerf you aren't gonna see them touched in a while.

Your information is so inaccurate it hurts.
NL get slight nerf, but the only nerf is less exp and drop rate from showdown.
NW get slight nerfs in different areas but they're still superior to NL.
Where did I get this information? Confirmed on KMS update patch notes.
When will we get these updates? Most likely in 6 months since that's generally the time interval of a gap GMS usually waits to obtain KMS updated patches.

Id Go with NL Ive had both and overtime NW got really boring i dont feel like they have that big of a difference other than Jump Attack with both 300k range i had 1min and 30 secs better Dojo time on My NW when jump attacking plus NW is getting stomped on in the next kmst patch.

[quote=iElmo]All you have to do is change the settings to jump attack. If you're trying to kill bosses then NW will be the better choice. NWs can Hellux around 1.2mil range while NLs will need about capping range to solo.[/quote]

He's.... Half correct?
NW's can solo Hellux w/ about 1.2-1.3mil range.
NL can solo w/ 1.5mil range. How do I know? I've been solo'ing since I've had 1.45-1.5mil range as a NL. I don't cap. I'm at 2m-2m buffed right now, still don't cap in Hellux. I didn't and still don't have/use inner ability weapon speed +1 (wish I did, aiming for it eventually) / DSI nor do I use green MPE pot.

Yes NW get nerfed in the future but they still out damage NL and still have vertical jump along with back step. Ultimately, NW is better now and in the future.
NL is just easier to train during lower levels.

Well, if you can't really jump attack then go for NL

I'd make a night lord. They are fun and if you ever get bored of start wondering about the shadower or dual blade class you can just job change
And I night walkers will be getting a nerf, while we night lords will not. ( I do not consider %drop going down a nerf)

I made a NL about 3 weeks ago and I LOVE IT! So much fun and I'm not super funded but my dmg is still pretty good. I highly recommend it

just a fyi:
night walkers will be nerfed in 6 months - 1 year. kms has released a balanced patch and part of the balance patch is that night walkers are nerfed. night lords got a nerf too, showdown has less exp and drop rate % i think, but they are still strong.
