Good bossing character?
I love my Pally. Recently, I was starting to become interested in bossing so I could actually, you know, make lots of mesarz. But with the nerf this patch, it became a lot harder to boss.
I'm still going to play my Pally, but I need a character who's a good bosser. I'm not rich, however, I DO have clean, unequipped, poted warrior CRA gear (the hat is scrolled a bit), 1b, and some pretty good NX equips that I can sell. I've heard that DA, Zero and F/P are pretty good, but I've also heard that:
-DAs get harder to increase range later on because of lack of really good %HP equips on the market, so you'll have to make everything yourself
-Zeros move around a lot so it's hard to boss
-I'm too used to Pally so mages will be really squishy (and I'll have to sell my warrior cra and get mage ones instead, but really, there aren't that many cons for going F/P, even the squishy argument is laughable)
I'm also worried that I've missed some really,[i] really obvious class options.[/i] Or maybe I should just fund my Pally. Please help me!

You either master Zero or you could play a class that is still able to ignore or slightly ignore damage reduction of end-games bosses. That would be.. Evan, WindWalker. I say go for Windwalker. Items are cheaper and way easier to fund.
Kaiser is the best
Try shades. =)
I've played the revamped nightwalker and personally I don't like them at all, I just made one for the 15% crit ring.
I can vouch for them, however, because they are one of the best bossers so far in GMS. I mean come on, quintuple star? And you don't even have shadow partner. you literally get a second copy of you. point and case, quad star + shadow partner < quintuple star + dark servant. THEN it gets even better because you get a hyper skill that lets you summon up to 3 dark servants. Now tell me that isn't a class made for bossing.
@numan21: Dem sword prices. Blunt weapons are awesome k.
@pashmimi why dont you job change to hero? i heard they are pretty good.
Bossing with a zero can be really fun but requires a lot of control. Typically when facing bosses that don't die considerably fast you can't just rotate between the highest-DPS combo but rather you have to choose between which skills bring you to where you want to go to dodge attacks, and timing is really important also.
@archxever: I considered Shad too (I have one and it's super fun), but those thief equip prices, man...
@rockboarder: That's not the point... Pallies aren't super viable bossers anymore so I need a good bossing class. I know what I'm going to do, I just need a good class to invest in.
@TheFallen123: I don't really have a problem with all those DoTs, I have an F/P and I didn't really mind it. DoT stacking is pretty fun, in my opinion. I actually have all of them, but I just don't know which to choose... I don't have enough to fund all of them, so...
Based on personal preference and if you don't like managing a bunch of skills at once, don't make a F/P mage. It was hard for me to get into F/P because there were way too many DoTs to pay attention to or else your damage will drop significantly with Myst Eruption. If you're more of a stand in one spot and click few buttons type of bosser, I would go with DA. Zeros are tons of fun to play too, but I haven't done any major bosses to see how well they do in those moments. But if I were you and I had a lot of time, I would try them all. DA's have a good link skill so it's worth the try and Zeros have a good one too.
Yea lets say you some how sell all of your nx and get 10b you cant kill any bosses for money. You're better off killing easy gollux and selling the rings/earrings/
Shadower is tanky and somewhat good at bossing, but thief equips/stats are expensive and he needs lots of funding to reach the best case scenario for damage (Cap Damage on Midnight Carnival and Meso Explosion).
Zero moving around doesn't sound so bad with bosses like gollux and magnus.
