Demon Avengers after Reboot

Title. How strong/weak will DAs be after the changes? Right now I believe that they are one of the top 10 classes for bossing but how about after reboot? From what I've heard the damage formula for DAs have changed significantly and many people's range had been halved if not more. Now my question is will the DA now be one of the worse class for bossing or will they be somewhere in the middle of the pack/slightly better than average classes?(Mainly wanting to know between DA and Kaiser since I enjoy the playstyle of both class rather equally)

[quote=snailsinnerx]Would you say a 700k range DA is above or below average?[/quote]

I do not know but if you have 500k hp it's probably gonna be a buff for you.

[quote=playthatmelody]I've only heard of people claiming their Execution line damage halved (which is somewhat true but that claim ignores the fact that it's 6 lines) but anything on the range being halved sounds like an exaggeration since it was more like a 22% drop.

Demon Avengers got a mixed update but it was geared specifically to benefit the high ranged players who can now compensate the nerfs with the 500k HP cap removed.[/quote]

Also, execution in exceed state becomes 475% x 6 = 2850%
Compared to old execution: 620% x 4 = 2480%
That equates to about a 14% increase in power of execution when bossing

Now assuming our ranges do drop by 22% after reboot, therefore overall in bossing 1-2 mobs our overall damage is 1.14*0.77 = 0.8938

So overall thats about 90% of our original damage output from execution alone.

Ofc since we use nether shield, etc the nerfed damage range will impact those skills too.

[quote=kappawe]So are the reports about several DAs having their range halved is false because most people here are saying that DA's bossing got better after reboot.[/quote]

Demon Avengers become much stronger bossers as they get two more hit lines with their main bossing skill, Exceed: Execution but at the expense of losing number of mob attacks from 6 down to 2...
Your damage range will no longer scale towards your current HP but maximum HP so it allows you to continue to gain range even if you break past the supposedly 500k HP threshold. So overall, they made the bossing skill a lot more verstile while slightly increasing the difficulty of obtaining even more HP thus lesser range.
