What's your thought on the order of most useful class to least useful? Mind you this is just for usefulness and efficiency so fun is irrelevant.

0. Beginners
1. Bishop
1. Dark Knight
3. Night Lord
4. Bowmaster
5. Marksmen
6. Hero
7. I/L Arch Mage
7. F/P Arch Mage
9. Shadower
10. Paladin

My reasonings? Beginners don't lose exp when they die. That saves NX in safty charms. A few saved charms is a gacha ticket. ZOMG! Bishops+Drks are necessary for bosses and they also complement each other, if not every class, the best when it comes to training. I can't put one ahead of the other because both are extremely needed. NLs are the most used attackers for boss runs because TT is faster than Hurricane. BM/MM for SE. Heroes for ridiculous melee damage but still beaten by NLs. The 2 AMs for training. Shadower for seduce mule. I can't find them useful in training at all. Paladin well..lol. They're outshined by heroes in melee damage for bosses and just about every other class in training.

EDIT: Tied bishops and drks and the 2 AMs.
EDIT2: Added beginners xd

I agree with your list for the most part, but honestly I'd put Dark Knights ahead of bishops mainly because it is possible to survive most bosses without a bishop/priest. Heal is just a bonus. HB on the otherhand is quite often a necessity especially for bowmen and NL's. Most of them can't survive without the extra hp. Though with Resurrection and Horntail killing so many people, bishops are just only slightly behind the Dark Knight in terms of importance.

Dk for hb. One can bring enough pots for ht without a healer.

What about the seduce party with seduce bishops? From what i observe, they're really useful. Heal is arguable but pot costs=nothing important. IMO what puts a bishop ahead of a Drk is because of genesis+HS. A bishop can always make a HB mule but not vice versa.

I agree with the posters that put DKs first. HB is a necessity for the classes with lower HP unless they've done major HP washing for some bosses, while Heal is a convenience. xD

Yeah I do see your point with the seduce party: heal is essential there. And yes, Genesis and HS are extraordinary for training purposes, but I thought we were discussing bosses primarily XD. Genesis isn't used for bosses (unless under special circumstances) and HS isn't essential for bossing either, just another bonus. But if we include general training and not just bossing, I'll agree that bishops are the #1 essential class in MS just for the extra exp with HS.
