Strongest class now?

After ascension what class do you think is strongest? Just a random question. Opinions? 1v1 and mob of course

Very simple answer
Since there's hacked weapons now ( and nobody cares about that)
Go with NL/Hero (best job with hacked weapons)

Well TS, actually going by your assumptions unlike most other posters, Mages are currently in the clear for dpm. I've seen some guy on youtube who's pretty much hit 2m paralyzes and 5m mist explosions. With "infinite funding" you'd be doing 3m paralyze which would render explosion near useless. However, check out CL. Basically whichever move hits the most will win out. I would have to say DB is you want the absolute max. They have blade fury and phantom blow which with this infinite funding (just assume each hit is 999k why do we...)...

@dalilg: Bowmasters have afa+spirit link so they win out.

At people who are saying to pick a class you enjoy and play it and that I am a dmg addict; I AM NOT MAKING A NEW CLASS. This thread was started just to see others opinions. Or is that not allowed these days?

Why shads? They dont even have an update. On second thought, seriously people need to quit saying that thieves are OP.

@ TS The strongest class are bowmen duh.

One of the attacking Magician classes if you have insane-uber funding. Not that hard to hit 999999 every hit. But of course, that's only if you're well funded.

A class with low % dmg and many attacks like a mech, if there wasnt for the dmg cap.

@JustBeCB: Even though it means LITERALLY nothing? (And just so you know, the attack will NOT even come close to hitting the damage cap after Legends.. It only does it now because of a shadow partner glitch that is being fixed, and if you don't believe me ask a shad friend to do Assassinate now WITHOUT shadow partner.) The damage of the unbuffed attack is terrible for how long you have to charge it

@sync258: You fought ONE op shadower.. Too bad PVP is literally dead.. And the way one fights in pvp has literally nothing to do with how they fight outside of it.

[quote=How2Mob]Shadowers for DPM? Not really. We are extremely good at mobbing though, especially in LHC. Shadow Partner+Pickpocket+BoT sets the field up and then Meso Explosion becomes deadly mob control -- especially when Meso Mastery is taken into account. I'm not saying we're the best, but I (a mildly funded Shadower) am about to solo about 12 Blood Reindeer in about a minute.

I also disagree that Bowmasters are the best for 1v1. My friend has a Bowmaster (level 162) and has about the same amount of funding as me. He does about 12k per hurricane arrow (12k damage times 8 arrows per second = 96k damage per second at best). When I use shadow partner and BStep, I do about 450k in total and that's to 3 monsters and BStep takes about 2.5 seconds. I do want to reiterate that we have similar funding and similar % equips, and other peoples damage may vary.

Admittedly, if you can find a bowmaster that has over 150% dex and perfectly scrolled equips, and is able to hit over 50k per arrow, then that might be harder to compete with for DPM. However, I've yet to see more than one BM that's able to do that.[/quote]

12k per arrow at 162? Honestly, that's pretty terrible. Unfunded level 130s can do that much... My 160 BM friend with ~80% dex easily does 30k per arrow without any external buffs and level 1 Hurricane.

1v1, I'd go with Bowmasters or Dual Bladers. It depends on what stage of funding they're at, but if you give them infinite mesos, probably Dual Bladers.

F/P has the highest D%pm so is the best class for poor people (1v1 and mobs)

BM has the best potential 1v1 (so is the best class for rich people)
MM/IL/Aran are the best mobbers right now

On paper F/P are the strongest class. In reality who knows and don't say with "max or equally funding" because you'll never achieve the amount of % stat to even see a characters full potential. Pick something you like and play it.

1v1 is definitely BM.
Mobbing... I've seen a FP do some crazy on a mob of BW at LHC.

All classes have equal funding? Bossing, DB, only because they are the only class able to get bossing on both weapons. Mobbing, arans are pretty good with that.

Assasinate isnt a dpm move at all. If u would say the best dpm class now who would be on top?

[quote=Laguniroth]Assassinate will NEVER be a DPM move, seeing as how in the time it takes to charge up, and doesn't even outdamage our crappy skills post legends..
You guys can keep saying "Shads are OP" all you want but that's not going to make it true >.>[/quote]
Still its nice to hit the damage cap early

Thanks for answers. Looks like shads are winning. Best 1v1 right now though? Would it be shads?

Atm, I think it was either F/P or BM.
In the very soon coming Legend update, it's mercedes.
Post Union, not sure yet since 3rd part of the Union update isn't finished.

Shadower in PVP is op. They kill me in like 3 hits, while it takes me 4~6 fully charged fire breath to kill one of them.
