How are Arans now? I havent been on since Big Bang
Hey guys, a couple questions for my level 163 Aran. He's dexless and not really that funded, has only like 20-25% strength I believe. Since its post chaos now, how are they in terms of training speed, demand in parties, solo bossing, and party bossing?
An estimate of how high they are on the solo bossing dps tier list would be great. Also the last time I played arcglaives were the ideal achievable weapon for arans (psb was impossible), is arcglaive still the ideal, or has it been replaced by some sort of new polearm? Possibly van leon or cygnus?
Also uhm, how do Arans train now post chaos? Do we still just go with out swings+final blow and combo finisher when we're about to lose it? Which combo finisher would be ideal for training, are there certain combo finishers that are obsolete at my level?
Also since big bang have I missed any USEFUL event items? IDC about items that have fancy looks, but I'm talking about items like time traveller medal, big bang rings etc
Please and thank you

Can anyone link me to the changes to Aran, and any projected date for when it's going to happen?
All these new slots items and content is really intimidating after being gone for so long! Any ground breaking nx items that screwed up the economy? I assume pmc made potential items deflate.
PSBs are ideal now, but Ive heard their attack speed is getting pushed to normal, so Im sure your weapon is fine
I don't know why, but I remember you from a while ago for some reason lol.
For bossing: 1v1 is definitely not our strength. Our strength is in mobbing and that's where we excel. We're not bad at 1v1, but definitely not the best. The upcoming Union update will give us AFA and other damage boosters, so our 1v1 will improve quite a bit.
For training: Depends where you train. If you're training at a glitched LHC map with tons of mobs, spamming Final Toss is the way to go if you have a mob of 3 or more pushed against a wall. FT has no damage dispersal and is [i]insanely[/i] fast. For everything else, use OS + FB.
You didn't miss much other than PSBs as the first poster mentioned, but there are still a lot floating around, they go for like 100mil a pop now.
And about your weapon - a 140 attack PSB is much better than a 150 attack Arcglaive. Trust me lol.
I have a 150 att arcglaive so I assume it'll do just fine compared to a 140 psb :$
Uhm what about the new final toss and rolling spin are those viable for training now at my level? Or is it kind of a low level kind of thing?
