Cygnus for Reboot server

I want the Cygnus base stat boost for my chars at Reboot and I want a class that will be useful. So if I would like, I could play it in the future. I want to know who is the best at DPS, HPS and bossing.
EDIT: including mihile

@amit1553: There isn't much of a damage difference now due to secondaries and enchantments. At most you will notice an 1000 damage difference without major attack multiplier since you are playing in reboot.

Right now, I believe Blaze Wizard has the great advantage at bossing/DPS thanks to keeping his Elemental Resistance ignore while all the other Cygnus lost theirs, although that is changing in the future, again. They are also decent in party play, which is useful for Reboot. Otherwise, I would assume Night Walkers are the best bossers among Cygnus Knights, although being a class that focus exclusively on bossing in Reboot sounds kind of counterproductive.

In terms of HPS... All classes, except Mihile, attack fairly fast and have unique mechanics that make calculating their HPS a paint in the butt (on top of the fact calculating the HPS for five different classes being rather tiresome), although not sure why would you worry about capping (the only point where HPS matters) when you don't really intend on maining the class and capping takes a LOT more effort in Reboot.

EDIT: Usually lower level stars are not that big of a problem for NLs or NWs, although I suppose that in a server where you're starved of ATT in general, every point counts. Night Walker might actually be a bad option in Reboot, specifically, Claw's horrendously low base ATT combined with no scrolling and being forced to use lower tier stars seriously hurts NLs and NWs

It sounds like you'd do better with wind archer or nightwalker.

Nightwalker, Blaze Wizard, and Thunder Breaker are your top 3 choices.
