Mercedes

Is it even worth funding a mercedes?

Hi guys, so i just banned my very old character SmilingIsFun and im merching there, now im considering funding it because it has so much history but if its not worth funding then theres no point,

By this i mean.. Is it good at boss? DMG? can it solo Most bosses? Does it have a big disadvantage? Will there be a revamp soon?

[quote=ShyShadow]250k with Istar? 85k * 150% = 127.5k. So your stats sound pretty fishy to me. I had 120k range and only did like 140 - 150k ishtars.[/quote]

I have 110k range and I hit 200-300k crit lines on ishtar. 400-500k lines on bosses.

[quote=1RedWhip]I love my Mercedes. It's my main Even though I only hit about 250k with ishtar and 1.2m with spikes royale it's still a fun class to play. If you play Mercedes you can't expect to hit high numbers until 4th job. I only have 85k fully buffed but that's okay because I play it for the fun of it. So I suggest you main it only if you can endure the annoying damage at first [/quote]

Funding a Mercedes would be a go if you wanted a fun-mobile class with a average utility.
Honestly, I don't find Mercedes as fun as Bow Master, but that is solely based on Biased opinions.
I haven't funded mine, so I can't say I would have the same opinion if I were to fund.
And like @LuulsGreat said, don't fund a class you want for bossing or damage unless you truly enjoy the class. I know people who fund Mechanics and not give a heck about what others say.
A huge disadvantage with them is that damage isn't as amazing as you would expect (for now, they'll be getting many, many revamps in the future). Survival is a meh.

But if you really are a damage-hoe, a nice, fund-able choice would be a Marksman/Bow Master. I'd honestly go with Bow Master (based on biased opinions) for fun rather than a nice damage output (Marksman is heavier on damage). Bossing would reign with either (Marksman would be for more unfunded, I don't know if this will change post FLY when BM get another few % on Hurricane) and they have amazing suitability (Mobility, Hook Shot, etc.)

Do you enjoy the class? Fund it
If you are a damage hoe? There are better choices...
It's bossing abilities are fine, it's a decent mobber, any class can solo with enough funds.
