@helpingly: not a day passes where i dont miss him

@ecarina: If the chains don't make it up, then the short cooldowns on BKB and Dark Genesis should on top of your reaper finishing off any monsters you don't kill. That's how I play anyways, 5th job only makes it easier.

I do think that BaM asks for a lot, as in you can't be lazy with BaM and expect to dominate the entire map (like an NL for example) unless you can 1HKO with just teleport. If you are lazy then yeah BaM totally sucks if you're not gonna use the chains and the ults and the telecasting. Just gotta keep moving because teleport makes up a large amount of a BaMs DPS.

I really give most credit to the instant vertical teleport though, movement control of BaM is so good people think I'm hacking.

OP said Minimalist playstyle anyways, so I wouldn't recommend BaM either, but not because of its mobbing ability.

OT: I have no idea what jobs have good base crit rate so I can't really make any good suggestions.

Demon Slayer/Dark Knight Demon slayers have great mobbing and dark knight have decent mobbing but dark knights need little to no funding at all. Demon Slayer Range is very good if u use the correct gear and Dark Knights only need to work for half the range say u want to get 30mil range buffed for a drk knight u only need to work to 15m and then cross surge doubles ur range. But Demon Avengers are easier to level and can farm meso and get exp faster since they basically attack the whole map with there 4th job skill. For Dark Knights if u make a few bil a week as u said u can get end game gear rly fast (excluding tyrant) with demon slayer u can do the same but not a lot of people sell ds gear in grazed at least hope this helped

@ecarina: Refer to the video that @piana linked... Not sure how you could think we're in the top 5 worst mobbers o.o

@ecarina: u cant be playing BaM right if u think hes on top 5 worst mobbers.. o.o its not about the skills, its the amazing and fluid mobility that makes them great
i burnt in an alternate account one and it clears mp3 almost as good as a BW (both have 15x frozen set)
also since OP is on reboot i gotta point out BaMs have the upper hand in mobs with high amounts of health which is great there (dark shock proc op)

@ando2112: Of the 40 classes I've played, I think only Jett, Hero, Mercedes, Kaiser, and Night Walker are worse at mobbing than Battle Mage. An argument could be made for DB and Shad too but I think Battle Mages are still worse. The rush/chain/teleport skills don't really make up for the poor reach on the Blows, so at best you end up with adequate mobbing. Definitely not good.

@ecarina: Are blow skills have little reach, but if you're just going around teleporting and using the blow skills you aren't really playing a Battle Mage properly.

Our Battle Rush, Dark Chains and Dark Shock all connect up with the Blow skills, so when you use them all together quite efficient mobbers. and if you don't want to teleport up to platforms, Dark Genesis / BKB to get those mobs.

I have gone through 27 different characters, just leveling up for fun, and besides probably N/L or Luminous, I'm not sure i've played a better mobbing class. But I guess it all depends on your playstyle of each character.

Wind Archer, cannoneer, or night lord.

You could try Dark Knights....

@ando2112: I wouldn't say Battle Mages are particularly good mobbers. Their blow skills have really low reach and the reaper doesn't really make up for it. My Battle Mage is still 15x so I'm not sure how much BKB makes up for it though. Still, they're a lot like the mage version of Heroes.
Also I'd disagree with Kaisers having decent mobbing. Their mobbing skill requires them to be standing on the ground unless timed correctly so training on them is pretty clunky. Even Kaiser mains that I know have complained about it in the past.

Battle Mage suits everything except for Minimalistic playstyle ever since the telecasting thing was brought in...

Also, Shades only have 1 buff kind of irks me.

Actually, you won't get "play what you like anymore" .. that guy has moved on.

Well I play reboot so that isn't possible. I was thinking of just playing a shade since I really like the visuals on that class. It'll take some work but I'm thinking once I get around 500k range it'll start picking up.

Become the GMS Zero jjang hero.

(Zero)

Well demon slayer and demon avenger are both good mobbers, require little to no control at all, they barelly use pots, and they havent got many buffs, they do rlly goosd at bossing.
Shade is another option despite what you say, they have great moving at 4th job, great bossers, good utility they can split and bind and the have no buffs at all cept for maple warrior! , i got one with 2m range and its an amazing bosser, i have in on non reboot server, i havent tried it on a reboot server.
Another nice class i enjoy is kaiser, they have decent mobbing, good mobility, and amazing bossing skills.
Dark knight also scales really good, has decent mobbing and good bossing skills, a skill called cross surge rises their range by a lot with minimal funding.

You're right, I didn't include that because I didn't think of it. My apologies, and it isn't really a HUGE issue.

Sure but attack speed and damage per line weren't part of your criteria. Besides, we can attack pretty fast once you get DSI and the +1 atk speed inner, and with 5th job DSI is easy.

Aren't they pretty sluggish? Also, they hit low damage per line due to the 150 hyper. I know it adds up to alot but its a mental thing for me idk why I'm like that.

Sounds like you want a Cannoneer. Great mobbing, good single-target, playstyle's not too complicated, and we've got a good innate crit rate.
