[quote=SheepPB]Did I ever state that? Please tell me, in where you quoted me, that I said that. Do enlighten me. I even quoted myself for you. I stated that Xenons won't be stronger in an opinion based comment and said NW have it easier when it comes in terms of bossing. When did I ever say anything about either class having a 5 star tyrant means nothing to that class? Don't make such idiotic comments as the one you did. It embarrasses yourself.[/quote]

Well, you asked for someone to prove Xenons were better than NWs to you. He accurately pointed out Xenon's greatest advantage is having three main stats and therefore benefiting much more from 5 star Tyrants than NWs. Their second most important advantage is being able to use Pirate equips, which are several times cheaper than Thief equips.

Thanks to these two factors, Xenons will reach peak damage around 1.5-2 M buffed range much faster than NWs. In summary, Xenons are better with medium funding (under 50 B ish), and NWs are better at higher funding (100B+). Inbetween 50-100 B they're roughly even.

Skill wise, Xenons have superior mobbing, even more so after the NW nerf. Kaxi accurately points out that Beam Dance is a Asura clone, and appears to consider this a negative. I would like to point out that Asura is incredibly powerful and as an unlimited use Asura-clone, Beam Dance is pretty impressive. In contrast NW mobbing is pretty lacklustre.

NW bossing and Xenon bossing are roughly identical, with one main skill, shadow partner, and a bind. NWs have better hps and % damage, while Xenons have higher natural ranges, more innate % boss, and a summon.

[quote=SheepPB]See hardly any differences from NW to NL.
Xenon won't be stronger, in my opinion, and won't be a better bosser (I'd like to see someone prove this one wrong) but Xenon has more variety in terms of skills to use..[/quote]

[quote=freezenlight]so your basically saying 165 str 165 luk 165 dex from one 5 star tyrant equip means nothing to you?[/quote]

Biased opinion, NW.
I just absolutely love NW. <3
Most fun class I've ever played, and I've played most classes up to 4th. I think the only class I've never played at all is the Hero class. Dark Knights and Pallys always drew me in more.

[quote=Talonted]if your afraid of repetitive gameplay maplestory isn't the game for you. NW is the better out of those 2 classes just because xenons kinda suck (imo). Shade is a great class to play tho and even tho it was recently (sorta) released it will be cheaper to fund than a NW. That aside there are way better classes than NW and xenon so i wouldn't limit yourself between those 2.[/quote]

lolwat im not limiting myself, these are the two classes that have caught my interest and im picking between them

NW's bossing stomps all classes at high levels And Personally I got bored of xenon after about 150 because of repetitive gameplay with mecha purge and beam dance

I like Xenon more than NW, but Night Walkers are better at higher levels by a long shot.

Too much NW, but it's truly up to your choice.
Haven't had the chance to play NW to 4th job, but Xenon is sorta repetitive. No real special skills, just a place-down skill, an Asura (blade master) hyper copy called Beam Dance, and a really awkward bossing skill and a mobbing skill.
NW seemed to be much more fun, and the hyper looks pretty epic LOL.
