Nl v Nw How big a difference

HI everyone, I'd really like to get back to the NL class. The thing i enjoy the most is bossing and i realize that NW's are much stronger than NLs. My question is, how much of a difference is there? I prefer NLs over NW especially with the 20% drop skill and 1.5x exp skill. However, if the damage discrepancy is that high I will just do a NW. Can anyone elaborate on this?

@taisuke Any estimate on how much funding it takes to get to 1Mil range on a NW?

[quote=CheapMerchant]Nope, haven't even made one yet. haha. You think it's a big difference from your NL? Like, would NW's be able to start soloing/doing bosses like Magnus/Hellux a lot earlier in terms of range compared to NLs?[/quote]

You need half the range of a nl on Nw to solo hellux which is around 1m. Their damage is almost double if you jump attack and face a stationary boss. Nws just aren't flashy and their skills are a bit boring compared to other classes. Their bind is decent, mobility is great with side step, and their hp drain skill is a godsend on pot delay bosses. With their hyper skill shadow clone, nws are throwing 50 stars each time they attack. If you stack that with their 20% buff and angelic buster link skill, that is a lot of burst damage in 30 seconds. So yea the choice isn't crazy hard. The thing I miss on my nl is the flash jump. It goes so much farther on a nl.

Have you tried jump attacking on nw? I've been playing my nw the wrong way the whole time and read the threads/watched carte Rosas video on it. The dps jump is insane since you are pretty much doing 2x the hits.
