How are Evans these days?
I was thinking to make an Evan, because it's a cool dragon! , but should I make one?
Are they still viable today? I do know that they can boss somewhat decently and their mobbing is alright.
What's one cool thing about Evan's?

Evans are the master race. nuff said.
Ok more seriously, Evans are definitely viable for EVERY boss in game EXCEPT Dorothy (self-proven and confirmed).
They can solo every soloable (again, except dorothy) boss in game with a decent amount of time to spare as well.
Their bossing is quite good as you have a revive skill for utility, a summon which will give you 100% status resist that is active more than half the time, and a 30% damage hyper as well as a 20% damage debuff that can be cast with no cooldown. Their mobbing is pretty darn good in training purposes (flamewheel has such a far range that it will hit mobs that are NOT even on your screen).
Many consider Evan to not be a viable class because of the lack of lines. However, the recent patch in KMS gives us two more lines, on top of the fact that we can already pretty much perform any action in game that we want. Prior to popular belief, [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Mu_Lung_Dojo__4_57_on_an_Evan_-Boss-Screen-231963.html]they can indeed go sub 5 in Mu Lung dojo [/url]
Usually if you would ask me for a comparison between classes, I wouldn't even talk like I favored Evans in order to make a fair comparison. But if you're asking only about the master race and no other class, well... yea LOL
[quote=iElmo]Do Evans take advantage of attack speed buffs like speed infusion?[/quote]
They can only use it if they have a MPE green potion on.
^ WIth so many buffs and resources any can do that?
blaze wiz or evan?

Yes, it makes them a lot better.

[quote=chillenyo]they will be getting a huge buff makin illusion a more efficient skill.
however, still not a great bossing class[/quote]
Actually it is a pretty good bossing class, not the best but better then average.

[quote=Graystoke]All your threads asking about which class is better [/quote]
because when i like two classes equally, i will whichever is stronger.
Evan is pretty good, it's also gaining 2 more lines in 6 months, I have found it fun for 5+ years so far.

I'll try not to be super biased but I find Evans really fun. Training them is really easy too and super fast especially when you got Decent Si + mpe SI pots as your combo. Using Flame Wheel in Stronghold will get you fast exp since it will cover most of the map. With enough funding can get you 5:30 and below in dojo. Sure it's not below 5mins but it's enough to get you some top 10 gloves. IMO Evans are pretty decent in bossing, not "Night Walker" status bossing but plenty of funding (obviously) will get you to be able to solo empress and even a couple of cra bosses as well. Speaking of which, Evans are super easy to fund. Around 1.3-1.5mil range can let you hit max damage on bosses (if you have the amount of boss% needed to hit that high).
With the nice buff coming in (along with the unfortunate nerf on our revive skill), I would assume Evans will be a tad better than they are now.
I just saw a butthurt comment
OT: Evans are strong unfunded, and they will be good funded as well once that buff patch in KMS comes
I also made one recently. Earthquake is a pretty awesome skill, and I like the fact that you have to keep leveling past 100 to get to their full potential (unlike basically every other class). My only complaint is that I wish Teleport had a bit more vertical range, but that's about it.
made one recently. hella fun and there atks are much faster than i thought

evan master race when nexon remove stance its time for me to switch to evan
[quote=tim777]Evan Master Race!
In all seriousness, Evans are EXCELLENT Mobber later in the game with Flame Wheel
Their bossing is decent too + we will get a buff soon
The thing that kept me playing my Evan was the motiviation you get, because you still get a new job with 160
you arent done with skilling with 135 like explorers, you get hyper skills and new jobs!
Also the lvl 150 Hyper is very good for your whole pt ( 30% dmg)[/quote]

Illusion (their main bossing skill) will get an increase in lines from 4 to 6
ofc the dmg will get reduced, but more lines are always better
