Leave Crusader for Kaiser or Demon Slayer?
Hello basil friends. This past week or so I came back to Maplestory from a fairly long break, and noticed a bunch of new classes.
Currently my main is a UA crusader at level 98, so almost Hero. I will probably level it to Hero, but I am thinking about switching main to Kaiser or Demon Slayer, with slight chance of Hayato? (I like warriors, haha.)
I know my UA gives a nice Soul Driver skill, and good badge, and the level -10 level requirement perk, but it's not much now that I really think about it.
I only play Maplestory for casual fun, so I don't care so much for bossing, but I do like damage output (if that makes sense, haha... Kind of like quick kills/mobbing). Mobility is great for me, I like the quickness of Interpret Slash, and I can't wait for the Rush Skill. For the most part, I train and do quests alone So do you think I should keep playing my Hero? I hear adventurers get a nice upgrade for RED patch, but no idea if that changes anything for me.
Maybe someone who has a lot of knowledge on these warrior classes can help me a little in my situation. Thanks all!

@simaini:
When I say speed, I mean movement speed. Hayotos are fast all the time, while kaisers are only fast when they are transformed.
Kaisers are good at bossing, I never said otherwise. But there benefits such as ignore weapon cancel are not sustained and not needed on most bosses. While DA's bossing benefits work on just about every boss in the game, which makes bossing with them much easier. My examples reflect what I believe each class is best at, not that they are the best in each category.
@polypoly
In terms of complexity of gameplay I would rate each the following...
1. Hayoto
2. Kaiser
3. Demon Avenger
4. Hero (RED)
5. Demon Slayer
6. Hero (Now)
Still a little clueless, i'm a little hesitant on Hayato because it looks more serious than not the casual and laid back experience I would like D:
[quote=scorpio989]They will out perform nearly all classes in terms of damage when we get RED, and honestly they have pretty high 1v1 DPM even now. I just got my Hero to 4th job myself, and found myself constantly being out ranged and out maneuvered throughout my whole 3rd job by the demons, kaisers, and hayotos. If your willing to stick with your Hero until you can get ACA/Enrage maxed, you will find that your Hero is on par with the new warriors in terms of damage.
If you like mobbing. Go with Demon Slayer.
If you like speed. Go with Hayato.
If you like bossing. Go with Demon Avenger.
If you like a little bit of all of the above. Go with Kaiser.[/quote]
actually, kaisers aren't just a little bit of all of the above. kaisers exceed in all of the above, except maybe mobbing, where it's only above average. Kaiser's gigas slash is extremely fast. Kaisers are probably the best at bossing since they have very high damage output, ignore damage reflect and weapon cancel. Demon slayers are very good at all of the above too, except attack speed. Their attack speed is fairly slow, but they're still excellent at bossing and mobbing. Their mobility is good too, same as demon avengers.
[quote=polypoly]Is there any "inconvenience" in Hayato because I am aware it uses "combos" and those "combos" overjumps/overleaps/moves too much around the map.[/quote]
Yes, it uses combos, that's what makes the class fun IMO and yes, they do move too much around the map. You must learn how to control your Hayato and how to chain the skills.
TIP: Watch videos of Hayato's gameplay.

Choose Hayato.
Best class ever and very fun!
You won't get disappointed (:

Based on all the criteria you've listed, I would say go for Hayato. Once you reach level 60, it's like you're playing a samurai in a movie!
