Easy to fund bossing class?
I want to start funding myself through bossing, which seems like the best way to fund yourself. Currently, I have a level 200 BaM with a 165k range buffed and 88% Boss damage, so I do about 1.9-2m a line when I do bosses. I don't know how well BaMs are in terms of bossing, but I feel a little off when I boss and it feels like I'm not doing quite enough. So, I want to make a character dedicated to bossing so I can fund my BaM and maybe start being able to boss with that. So, what bossing classes are generally easy to fund?

[quote=xfallingdreams]Pretty much what Axnslicer and iElmo have said. Bossing isn't profitable as it was some time ago. You're better off taking advantage of the events that happen. Try joining a guild that has funded players. Many guilds will take their guild members as mules for boss runs and let them keep what they loot or split the profits.
Plus, the amount of money you would have to invest in a bossing character to fund your main wouldn't even be worth it. Like you said, you don't even have 1 bil right now, how do you expect to fund your bossing character then?[/quote]
I have money to sell NX and I have people that'll buy so if I were to go fund a character like that it wouldn't be a problem. I just want to stop spending money on the game to fund myself, which is pretty much why I wanted to start bossing. Unfortunately I realized that, that wouldn't be as helpful as I thought.

Jetts will be the cheapest
[quote=Axnslicer]And where do you plan to get 300 B worth of funding with which to get the range to beat Hard Magnus and Hellux?
Bossing in MS is a catch-22, if you have the range to beat the bosses, the drops will be worthless compared to the amount already invested. If the drops aren't worthless to you, then you don't have the range.
The only way to bypass this is to "loot mule" for a funded player, as Crylenol suggested.[/quote]
This. Bossing isn't the best way to make mesos right now.
I'd recommend keeping track of events. You could have purchased protection scrolls for 30mil each and sold them for 1bil when Marvel Machine came back. Recently, you could have purchased Spell Traces or CSS 10%s prior to the first Spell Trace event and made a hefty profit.
You can still purchase some scrolls at their lowest point and sell them for a bit higher after a maintenance.
Probably the easiest method to make some money is to join a guild with some funded players that will take you on runs. I usually take guildies/alliance to CRA/etc. and let them keep whatever they loot.
[quote=Iceformation]You seem to over estimate my funds. I don't even have a bill, which Tyrant capes and Superior Gollux items will help get for me.[/quote]

Easy to fund while hitting hard? The Zero class. Cons to it? Weapon does not have a resale value.
[quote=Axnslicer]CRA is worthless. Tyrant capes are worthless. Gollux scrolls are worthless and Superior Gollux items have deflated nearly 10x since last year. You're not going to be funding yourself through bossing any time soon.
The only end-game clean items that still retain significant value are Tyrant Boots, and each one takes 12 runs.[/quote]

Nightwalkers aren't that cheap to get a high range, due to them not having a lot of buffs to increase range. I only get to about 63k buffed on my NW which is level 154
