That's not delicious at all.

Best Class for bossing?

Beginner. <3

Yeah. Mechanics need a complete overhaul imo. I would be okay with having low defense and hp if I could at least consistently avoid those 1hko attacks that endgame bosses like to use. The problem is, mechs are punished for relying on their mount. We're completely useless without it. And, on top of that, our hitboxes are the largest in the game. Even wh's had their hitboxes reduced. Heavy reliance on summons holds this class back too. Setting up all these summons only to be insta-killed a few seconds later sucks. </3 After that, our chances of beating the boss drop because all of our summons disappear and are put on cd. Siege mode and amplifier, our main bossing skills, require us to sit in one spot which is not a good idea for bosses like magnus. The hover mode hyper that they added to fix this isn't very helpful either. The fire rate in that mode is the same as tank mode's regular attack which means that our dps is actually lower and we can't rebuff or place any summons in this mode either. We're better off using laser blast instead.

Eric class
seduce bosses with epic heneh03 ability!

Xenon, Wind Archer, and Shade. And.... the your mom class (best one out there)

Zero by far. They have near invincibility if used correctly. have constant DPS and do extremely well unfunded. I can do Normal Gollux with 38k range on my Zero despite not giving him more than 5m in funding.

@Trainermax

Hmm. I do well over 1m with 38k on Gollux and other bosses. If you're referring to regular mobs, I'm not sure. I think I did 600-800ks. Boss % deals a lot of the damage for Zero.

Whatever happened to that fellow? Is he still viable? I hear he's been forgotten, like a hated stepchild.[/quote]

Don't forget Mihile and wild hunter

[quote=DrGlock]I've just been wondering which class has the most damage and survivability against bosses with no funding? Decided to come back to maple and love bossing so I'm just curious. I'm leaning towards marksmen, demon slayer, kaiser, or dark knight, but can you guys please help me decide thanks![/quote]

Best against bosses and survivability? Zeros, Paladins, and Demon avengers
1. Zero's - You can get super godly weapon with 0 funding on them and they are pretty strong too
2. Paladins - Best survivability in the game without a doubt and very good at bossing
3. Demon Avengers - very strong with very little funding and the highest HP out of any job

The other jobs are ones you should stay away from jobs like Phantoms and Kaisers you need insane amount of funding to do high damage with well over 150b to even consider them as the best

[quote=MechSurge]@fradddd Not likely. The decreased delays for summons, siege, and tank mode are good, but mechs still suffer from the same problems that they've had for years.[/quote]

Try Shade. It's not as bad as people say it is haha.

I actually have a 180 zero lool. I was thinking of trying an adventurer or hero though

I hear Zero is coming back on Wednesday for the new patch. I just continued my Zero from when I made it months ago. Got to 180 in about 18 hours from 102 and does well over 1 million dmg with 20k range.

Zero - If you can combo and have really high control
Shade - DPS
Pally - Survivability + Dps + tons of utility (hyper invincibility, res that gives invincibility, crash, bind, and more) (Nerfed to lose 1line of damage and their elemental ignore after kms update)

Zero...

110% free bossing from Beta form, 60% free bossing from Alpha? Not to mention the highest DPS% when using the right combo. Alongside that, you also have a free life, a hyper that resets all cooldowns (INCLUDING THE ONE THAT SAVES YOU IF YOU DIE!), and a bunch of passives that let you basically live forever if you're not one-shot because every time you switch between alpha and beta you heal hp. The only tough part is actually having control of the character, which requires you to actually be good at the game.

Second is probably Shade for Bossing buffs and probable immortality.

Both of these are optimal for bossing because they both have minimal buffs, so if you DO end up dying, you can jump right back into the fight without dodging a buttload of obstacles and wasting time.

@MechSurge will they be one of the best after the KMS update?

[quote=Trainermax]Uh, don't mechanics have a passive 30% boss damage against bosses? , also they have some nice skills[/quote]

No. Mechanics are one of the worst bossing classes in the game.

Zero but since they're still locked. kanna.
