[quote=SombraManx]they are basically the same ATM on some bosses like hilla, PB, empress, RA.. etc

since those bosses reduce physical dmg in 50% hero (around) 12.000% dps would be 6000% on paper

but DW (around 8.000% dps) would be 6.000% too thanks to the elemental expert skill, that resets the physicall property in 50%.. so, you do 25% less dmg on those bosses, instead of 50% less...

And.. DW's have higher ranges as far as I know, but their skills are so fast that Its easy to die on a boss with DR if you don't count.. it also lags sometimes so you don't get your full %dps unlike hero, raging blow is an amazing skill for bossing..

DW = bind
Hero = crash

IMO crash is far better than bind because it prevents DR, Def/mdef up, and heal (at least at some bosses)

also, DW mob far better than hero, which is nice

defensive-wise DW have more HP (if im not wrong) thanks to their skills, but def and dmg% reduction they are pretty much tied too..

playstyle-wise, I HATE both of them, hero have ugly animations IMO, and DW is just too flashy for me and I dont like how it does combos with both lunar and sun at fourth job.. lunar skills are ugly IMO

I'd pick hero cause they are getting nice animations and boost in red while DW will be left behind for at least 4 more months[/quote]

Heroes get buffed during the RED update.

TS: Here's the breakdown of the class

DW: Freshly revamped. Decently strong. Cap attack speed.

DA: Cheap af to fund. Tanky.

DS: Balanced overall. Able to ignore DR.

DrK: Unqiue. Batman. Becomes OP after RED, but loses batman status.

Heroes: Strongest DPS of all warrior pre-RED. Old school play style.

Pally: Palawins or Godladin. Whatever you want to call us.

Kaiser: Most OP warrior as of now.

Mihilies: Lazzzorzzzz

[quote=Kazno]Dawn Warriors are best for the unfunded, they don't require ANY skillbooks or mastery books and they're pretty strong, really fun too.

Cons I can think up are:
-Low status resist
-Delay between Moon/Sun attacks in Equinox Cycle (I THINK that's getting fixed this maintenance though)
-Huge mana costs (Jr Boogie familiar will fix it though)[/quote]

Dont forget the best pro of a DW, that huge ass pink flaming hyper sword
