Warrior

Which warrior class should I make?

I've decided I want to try playing a warrior class again. Unfortunately I don't have any open character slots on Windia so I was thinking of making my warrior on Scania. I wanted to know which warrior class I should play, looking more for fun gameplay than high damage. I already have a Zero, Kaiser, Demon Slayer and Mihile and I am not interested in making a hayato. Which warrior class should I choose to play in Scania?

[quote=Traitor]If Dawn Warrior vs. Paladin or Dark Knight ever becomes a question. I would say Dark Knight>>Paladin>>Dawn Warrior. Both classes hit harder with lower ranges compared to Dawn Warrior. Not to mention the lack of party skills with Dawn Warrior.

Note:
Paladin >> Combat Orders
Dark Knight >> HB
Dark Warrior >> Nothing

If you choose Dawn Warrior, prepare for alternating attacks.[/quote]

Dawn Warrior do actually have some utility skills for bossing. They got your standard bind and a debuff called True sight in 3rd job.
It lowers the enemies defence and elemental resistance with 10% (20% with the hyper skills), this can increase party members' damage quite a bit on endgame bosses.

OT: Personally I really enjoyed the playstyle of Dawn Warriors and Heroes. I would recommend trying out at least DW.

@stevenman76: well people seem to care about DPM charts anyway. But they are never practical so they're almost useless.

[quote=fradddd]@PatuSan well, don't take my word for it. It seems like I'm the only who realizes that Paladins hit way harder than nearly everyone else you see, at least past level 130. Everyone's like "yeah Pally is pretty good" but in Dimensional Invasion I meet people who spent the same mesos as I did on my Paladin but I hit sooo much more.[/quote]

Trust me, Everybody knows pallies are op.

[quote=dave2322]Yea my Pali has a 38k range and hits 2m per blast and my shades range is 42k and only hits about 1m per spirit claw[/quote]

Thats strange, because I have more than 15x your range and I only hit about 5-7m lines with blast. Proof please?
EDIT: Nvm, just read your comment higher up

[quote=Skytheria]Recent dmg chart says they'll be somewhere along with Bishops at the bottom.[/quote]

Link to chart? I've never heard of just a "damage chart". If youre talking about dps, then pallies wouldn't drop to the bottom, because dps charts dont include things such as void elemental. All they would lose that would effect a dps chart is their extra line on blast, which yes, would lower their dps, but not to the point where they'd drop to the very bottom from the top 10.

im not sure if this is true or not, but from what i have heard, of the three explorers, drk and pally are getting really hard nerfs. Hero on the other hand is becoming amazing

@PatuSan: I'm not saying per line. I'm saying the attack as a whole

Paladin will get their ignore elemental attribute removed from void elemental. Which is a huge nerf to their damage. We're talking about a 50% cut of their current damage.
Recent dmg chart says they'll be somewhere along with Bishops at the bottom. Just prepare for that if you decide to choose Paladin. If you want a safe future (for now) you should go for DKs even though they get a nerf in the same patch as Pallys.

@dave2322:

38k range and 2mill per blast?

I have 28k and I hit 100 something thousand per blast.

I really like dawn warrior, you can change between 2 modes or use both at the same time.
And the skills look great.

[quote=WarpedClown]Heard pally is getting nerfed soon but it depends on how long you're planning on playing it. I'd say pally/hero for sure.[/quote]

@Tauntaun3: I already have a kaiser on Windia, I don't see the point of making a new one on a different server and having to start all over with it

Starting in a new server , a pally should save you a lot of money in potion.
