Aran or Demon Slayer?

I like both classes and will PROBABLY decide based on the play style, but can you guys list the Pros and Cons of the ATTACKS and BUFFS?

And what weapons do they use?

Demon slayer. They have great mobility, and unique game play.
they also great in bosses and grinding. and about blue blood, it's 2 minutes cooldown but while
using it you only have to wait 60 seconds and if you get ability of %buff duration or mech' card effect you're good to go.

I agree play Demonslayer. Don't make an Aran. It would make our weapons cheaper.
But if you still want to play Aran. You will love Combos and the skill Combo tempest. However, they lack elemental resistance and abnormal status skills in order for them to boss. They have one of the lowest hp out of all the warriors I think and I suggest you neb DHB on your pants. Aran's aren't that mobile vertically so you should neb Decent haste on your shoes. The combo tempest skill can benefit you and other people I just hope you can figure out the deep secret of the Combo tempest. Can't tell you XD

What does stance do? When I get hit do I get knocked back?
What weapon does Aran use? Wands?
What does Demon Slayer use? Staff?

This page is unresponsive.

OT: Arans attack pretty fast. have 60% crit rate with combos, 30% unbuffed, and crit damage is high, 135%-170%. 60% status res at 100 combos, 10% unbuffed. -45% damage intake, 20% unbuffed. loads of PDR. Drain is the best. short to mid range, except on tempest it hits everything on the map. combat step swamps most other mobile classes skill though can be hard to control at times. with a 150k range can hit 4m 5 times with temps, not practical but its awesome. on the low end on hits per second. can keep combo up with ease. lowish hp. 2 party skills. tempest can act like a bind in some cases. 100% stance at 100 combos, 60% unbuffed. comboing became harder after revamp. Will probably be getting a revamp soon due to their previous revamp forgetting FB and BB. 105 extra wp.att when buffed. 55% extra damage full time, 35% from snow charge 20% boss/ monster from cleaving blow/ Boss Reverse Combo respectively. polearms aren't cheap, have to share with Arans and DrKs. Has ice element.

Did I miss anything?

Demon Slayers have AWESOME attack and defense, and are fun to play.
Their buffs give them a bunch of defense, allow them to leech health from enemies, more damage, and more max HP.
Their skills cost fury, which replaces MP, and stronger skills also cost health. Fortunately, they can leech health and have an attack that heals a % of max hp for third job.
Their basic attack is replaced during first job with a fast-attacking skill with decent damage, and doesn't cost anything. They also have these wings that allow them to high jump, glide, and jag jump (mini-flash jump, basically).
I haven't played Aran much lately, but I think they can generally attack fast, fairly mobile (not as much as DS though), can steal more health than DS, but has less max HP. Base damage isn't as much, but good damage potential, relatively.

arans used to be the most skill character in the game... nvm they still are. They are extremely fun to play if you can see pass their difficultly in the early stages. Their damage is rewarding later into the game. I think it was better before this patch, but its still an amazing class. I could go on and on but i dont have the time to

I played Both aran and DS to a level where i know the pros and cons.
but the biggest of all, Arans have one of the least status resistance in bossing, making it not viable to boss, while DS has crash and a status resistance.
idk i cant rmbr if they added status resistance to the previous aran revamp, since i've moved onto battle mage, not DS cos DS's weapons being expensive back then
but i'd still go with DS. with very little funding DS can go long way with their hyper. i dont think DS lacks ANYTHING from aran, cept for cool animations such as the Final Blow and arans hyper

They both seem like loner classes but Aran has Maha's Blessing which gives attack to the party, as well as Combo Barrier.
I think Arans are better.

I've played both an Aran and a DS to level 200 and tried the new revamp. Honestly, they're so similar in most parts but I love the bossing potential of a DS instead of Aran's. And again and the playstyle of DS won me over. You'll have to choose.

@BoredAF: I wasn't aware of it turning into a passive buff. My mistake.

Aran's stance cannot be cancelled/dispelled.
I'd play a Demon Slayer.

Technically, yes, but it also lasts 1 minute, leaving 1 minute for cooldown. Which means, 90% extra damage 50% of the time. It is far better than what Aran has.

But, from your responses, it seems like you already made up your mind. Go Aran.

Arans have 100% stance also.

[quote=SuperACups]Yeah, while I'm a huge fan of aran's theme, DS's are just better. Blue blood is one of the best hypers out there, and their weapons are DIRT cheap. I've seen faf and dom 1h axes and maces for like.....200-300m[/quote]

arans have faster attack speed i think and they dont have much mobility and use polearms, demon slayers use 1h blunt or axe weapons and have great mobility and mob better than arans o__o
