WH/BaM/Aran/Merc What to open?

Hi, so I've been thinking of starting to play again and just fund 1 char and I got those 4 classes I want to pick from:
Wild Hunter
Battle Mage
Aran
Mercedes

I realy dont know which are better at what, and which are still viable... So Im going to need your help...
I like high dmg + good bossing & mobbing skills, but more important, to have fun, and being unique (Not overused classes like Xenon) and cheap equips would help too
So which is the better one for me? / Which do you guys prefer and why?

@Sassagua: I'd go for RA if I was you, even though I've never seen a cheap fafnir staff...
But RA is cheaper and with marvel out you get cheaper (still not very cheap) fafnir weps and tyrants.

@Sassagua: I kinda of feel the WH when I look at you, and I sense that it seems like thats what you want to go for.
The only thing I can suggest now is that you watch some youtube videos of BaMs and WHs bossing and stuff, that always helps me choose a class.

I realy think I like WH, though, Idk what mobbing skills he got. And I've seen mercedes isn't too strong unless crazily funded with bunch of NX which I dont have...
I dont know if I still like Arans cuz its now kinda overused by rich people... and I barely see any WH's/BaMs....
So I guess its BaM/WH... Last opinions before I make my choices? Considering archer equips are cheaper now... I think I might go for WH, and I've seen he's gonna get some cool buffs realy soon, but same think for BaM's.... Ty for answering...

i havent seen an aran, merc or WH in ages man. i dont even remember the last time i saw one training anywhere. i say go with bam. training is a joke. you pretty much press one button the whole time till lvl 170, then it becomes 2 buttons. i honestly think we have the best survivability in the game, but some people might say we dont. we're getting that one update pretty soon where all aura effects are tripled and a perm 100% hp instead of having to activate the skill all the time. reaper is a toggle skill now, but i find the skill pretty useless after you start training at places like HoH or bossing. im just waiting for the complete revamp kmst is getting pretty soon.

@Sassagua: They're both probably fun classes (can't speak for WH)
WH is definitely the most underplayed
Bowman gear is usually cheaper than magician gear so you could get better equips which means better dmg.
But I'd say BaMs are the better mobbers and they're more wanted in a party

@Solzoriana I always liked WH's though.. and I think they're good, but what do you think? This is the order of what I want:
Fun class>Not overplayed>Good Dmg>Good Bossing>Good Mobbing
What do u think?

@Sassagua: I reckon you'll have pretty good dmg, I'm pretty unfunded and hit 79k per line (only level 124), I bet you'll get at least 150k if you have full RA if not more.

WH's I dont have alot of experience with but personally I don't think it's a good class which is probably the reason why its underplayed.

@Solzoriana Lets say Ill have full RA set in level 150, and have a decent staff, what will be my dmg?
Also, same questions, but with WH (If you know)

BaMs are easy to train because you can just spam your main attack.

I'd suggest you go to evo after you hit 100

@iCodykins The problem is that I dont know how viable are they until level 170... Are they easy to train? And what is that godly hyper skill of them that everyone are talking about?

Why did you make a new thread? Just close it and ask in your other thread

Battle Mage. They're not OP, but not UP, they have decent damage and a huge power spike at 170 when they get their Hyper Skill. They support and deal damage, and are wanted in Bossing Parties too. All around a good class and I think it's better than all of the others you listed.
