General

Hayato
Drk
Aran
DS
DW
(the rest I haven't played to lv 120. Pretty much the time to get a glimpse of all the skills in 4th job and max a primary skill)

Old school Dark Knight
Aran
New school Dark Knight
Mihile
Paladin
Hero

Haven't played Demon Slayer, Kaiser or Hayato.

1. Paladin - invincible almost, love the guards
2. Dark knight - cool buffs, hb (18k at 115 awesome), great mobbing, dragon wisdom never use hp pots in training
3. Hayato - strong, variety of moves/combos, fast
4. Kaiser - op in damage, form is fun to use
5. Mihile - good defense, mobility, mine is only 79
6. Hero - crap, repetitive, hate raging blow, good against 1/1, good damage but too boring and repetitive
Aran cannot rank because I don't have one yet...I think it will be as fun as drk
DS also don't have one

#1 Paladin
#2 Hero
#3 Dark Knight
#4 Demon Slayer
#5 Hayato
#6 Kaiser
#7 Aran
#8 Dawn Warrior
#9 Mihile

Paladin is still my favorite warrior. But Hayato is more fun.

-------------------
1. Hayato
2. Paladin
3. Demon Slayer
4. Mihile

From the ones I've played

Paladin - skill variety
Dawn Warrior - skill variety and familiar play style
[i]-A gap[/i]
Hayato - play style (sweeping sword messing the camera up makes this class, so much more fun to play lol)
[i]-Another gap[/i]
Ds - lots of skill variety, but being semi dependant on the use of demon lash was a little off putting
Kaiser - good skill variety and discouraged from use of basic attack (basic attack doesn't fill morph gauge)
Aran - a lack of move variety got to me on this one
[i]-50 feet of crap[/i]
Mihile - a general lack of originality in skills and lack thereof skill variety

[quote=PoetryIsMeh]I love how you put Paladin below DrK when we use more skills during gameplay, have a wide array of skill aesthetics to choose from and have practically the same mobility, as well as arguably higher dpm and obviously higher defense.

But then again, not going to question it.[/quote]

Please don't force your religion on others. Fun is subjective.
Anyway ot, it'd have to be dk.

[quote=PoetryIsMeh]@kunannnn: Thanks for the clarification, and i'd like to inform you that 2/3 of your personal gripes with Paladins will be fixed with hyperskills.

6hits on ACB with 1.5x the range, shame Nexon doesn't do anything about elements anymore.[/quote]

[quote=dfh]Yeah, hero is the most boring... don't make any, it'd be cool to be less Heroes around =P[/quote]

Haha, even if I made one, it's highly unlikely that I'd main it =p

You don't have Dragon Roar.

And Dragon Wisdom is strangely satisfying to see take effect.

But in my list, I ranked Paladin over Dark Knights for the same reasons you listed. I ranked Heroes below Dark Knights because Raging Blow is a pain to use. If they still used Intrepid Slash, they would have ranked higher than Dark Knights. It's the better fluidity and sound effects of Intrepid Slash. There's more movement in character action and the skill animation. 3 combo'd quick swings over 1 slow swing. I ranked Arans at the bottom because of the SCNASCDOSSCTOSSCFBSCBB spam requiring you to tap on the buttons repeatedly.

[quote=PoetryIsMeh]@itaintsweet: I know its his opinion, look at the last part of my first post, you're not meant question opinions.

A fun class can be regarded as a 'better class' its often put as criteria in those 'ermagerd help me pick a class gaiz' threads that pop up occasionally on the forums. So yes, it is about which class is better than another by giving the player an enjoyable experience.

Whether you choose to believe it or not 'fun' is often designated by different characteristics that classes have, since a Paladin beats DrKs in nearly all of them I thought I would contribute by pointing it out.[/quote]

I'd like to tell you what I found more enjoyable on a DrK than a Paladin.

The longer range on Dark Impale(and the colour scheme of black and red), the extra number of hits, the cool summon thing, hb and berserk.
I just never liked the short range of blast, the limited number of hits on advanced charge and the fact that monsters at LHC, SH and HoH
are unaffected by the different attributes that you can add to your skills depending on your charge. So basically, since I couldn't take full
advantage of the class, I didn't really enjoy it. Granted, I didn't enjoy DrK much more than Paladin, the difference is almost negligible.

Summary: to me, Dark Impale looked cooler and the longer range fit my playing style better.

lol. its his opinion..
Also, its not about whether one class is better than another.

Out of the ones I've played:
Kaiser
Aran (Level 200)
Paladin (Level 174)
Dawn Warrior (Level 120)
Demon Slayer (Level 70) < I'm guessing 4th job must be a lot of fun.

Hayato
Demon Slayer
Kaiser
Paladin
Dark Knight
Hero
Aran
Dawn Warrior
Mihile
