jobs that exell at bossing

Hello, I came back to maple a few months ago and have been building my account back up to shape, i have a good number of link skills and have sort of a clue about what the game is now exept i have no idea how classes stack up it terms of bossing and i want to make a new character with that as a purpose. ATM i have lvl 12x of most chars and a 200k range lvl200 xenon which I feel is fun but dosent boss at the speed i would like (I only do the low tier bossing on it like HT, Czak, normal magnus,etc.)

Considering i dont really have much to fund my char other than buying cra set and wep, as well as other generic equips and self fund my self on the way, so which class would you recomend i make?

@Axnslicer: I'm estimating needed range for certain bosses from experience, not from videos or whatsoever.
There's no video of a 900k range dawn warrior soloing cv as of yet, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

If Nexon decides to bring some incentive or any decent challenging aspects back into the game, I'll be sure to make a video of it.
For the time being though, I won't see that happening any time soon.

[quote=vaelamin]Dont know about Cvell but this guy almost soloed hard mag with 400k range. Few more seconds and he would have done it.

That video shows he takes 30 minutes to barely fail Magnus even with like 300% boss damage and perfect control. That's not impressive, just average. A Zero could do the exact same thing even without the elemental ignore.

[quote=StraatLamp]DWs have a solid 70% ignore elemental resist which makes them excel at end game bosses.
They also get a huge chunk of PDR thrown at them.

As for why NW needs a higher range, it's because the tails can hinder NW's DPS while DW's can just blatantly ignore the tails.[/quote]

Archmages have 100% ignore elemental resist, yet I don't see them soloing Cvel at 500k range?

Being able to multi-target the tails is worth maybe 30% more dps. I don't think that makes up for the dps difference. Can you show me a video of a 900k range DW with 85% pdr and 250% boss soloing CVel?

[quote=Axnslicer]I'm having trouble understanding how a class can be rank 30/35 on the dps charts and yet supposedly do any boss with 900k range? I hear good things about DW dps, but the numbers really don't seem to support it. Even NW needs 1M+ range to handle CVel, and I'm pretty sure that NW >> DW bossing wise.[/quote]

[quote=StraatLamp]Dawn warriors can do any boss (not counting hell gollux solo without mob clear) with 900k range, that's with 250% boss and around 85% pdr.
I would say they're the most efficient to boss with.[/quote]

I would probably say Kaiser, NW or Angelic Buster.

Kaiser: Lots of hits per second, summons, drain/heal skills. Can attack through cancel weapon and damage reflect. At lower funds, they actually do a lot of damage. Good mobility.

NW: Has bind, has high 1v1 dps whatever range they have, drain, good mobility. Horrible mobbing though. They're also a tad bit expensive to fund. :C

Angelic Buster: Okay, seems like a weird choice, but hear me out. They also do good damage with low funds. All the low-tier bosses are very easy for them to do (with 2 different ultimate AoE attacks, and one more as a hyper). They can attack through cancel weapon attack, and soul seeker isn't trigger damage reflect. Amazing mobility and great mobbing. Free tele to any town (on a 10 minute cooldown). The soul recharge system is basically non-existent (now that recharges are basically at 100%).

I'd go with a Night walker or wild hunter. Don't go Kaiser I love it and have a high range but you will hate the inbetween

you are stuck with the "low tier" bossing till you get past 1m range.
