Aran

So Im returning to MapleStory

and I'm thinking about making an Aran. How are they in terms of gameplay mechanics? Last time I heard they were one of the worst classes available, but are they a good class now?

Aran became easier to use than when it came out. I enjoyed mine before revamp and I still enjoy going on it once in awhile. Try it, the class may be fun or it may not be it depends on your style of gameplay.

@Avatar most classes don't have Double FJ or Chaos-lock-like skill. don't see your point

[quote=Avatar]Everything with this post is wrong, Arans are terrible. They can't even double flash jump or get full map attacks at second job. They don't even have a skill that teleports you right to the monster[/quote]

Most classes don't get a full map attack at second job.

I've always stuck by aran through the better and worse days. We're as strong as ever now, and we're pretty rare, it would be nice to see a few more arans around.

@Avatar: no need to get upset over me calling out incorrect information. o.o
What you said in your post was wrong, so I called that out and I proved it. Let's see you do the same, then.

[quote=Feeling]this post is incorrect in basically every way lol.
using Combat Step with the momentum jump correctly travels horizontally [i]faster than flash jump[/i]. the only issue is not having vertical jump, which is not a huge deal.
we do need "combos to set up," but that's why Combo Recharge exists. with the hyper addition, it's a free 400 combos every 50 seconds, which is more than enough. combine that with Combo Unlimited every 90 seconds, and you have enough combos for whatever you need to do.
Tempest is also one of the baest AoE attacks in the game. it actually has [url=http://www.southperry.net/maplerange.php?ltx=-800&lty=-600&rbx=800&rby=600&size=1366]the biggest range of any attack in the game[/url], not to mention that it's 790% x4. it is only inferior to Reflection and Demon cry because they are much faster.
in terms of training, we're better than basically every other class, and in terms of bossing, we're just around average.[/quote]

[quote=Avatar]A lot of the new classes can fly and jump vertically and have aoe's before fourth job. Aran has that crappy dash (i think its a little better now but meh) and he needs combos to set up and I don't think he has any good all area attacks...[/quote]

Just play the damn class for a few days to see if you like it. Is it really that hard?
