Are Mechanics secretly Op?

I saw a mech doing insane damage at 150 and I was wondering if they are secretly op? I know about poor mobility
Thanks!

@powerlad88 Our dps is actually lower in hovering mode because the fire rate in that mode is the same as tank modes regular, non-seige mode attack. They were supposed to raise the fire rate of hovering mode in the legacy of nine patch but it looks like they forgot.

@Nonbasic: in order for mechs to do max dps they cannot move.until they unlock hovering at lvl 150 and even with hover they are extremely slow and are a gigantic target.

On the bright side, KMS restricted creation of new Resistance characters a few months ago. Lately they only do that as a prelude to a major overhaul.

[quote=mythology100]Answer: Mechanics have the capability to do some high dps.

On the negative side: They are the class with extremely low mobility and require high funding to actually do such high dps.

Also, its quite insulting that even though they are modeled to be Heavy-mecha tank types, they can have extremely low survivability since thye will fall against bosses that do %age attacks. So all in all, they are glass-cannons[/quote]

Glass cannons need to be considered powerful to be classified as a glass cannon.

I like to think I'm op. Also at above we don't have to stay locked in place our hyper lets us move in it now.

they have one of the fastest attacks in the game, but due to the fact that to access it you have to stay absoultely locked in place, it doesnt really help at any bosses apart from stationary ones. and any class can be op with enough funding. It is the least mobile class in maplestory history.

They do mean damage, but all that mean damage won't mean much without good ways to move around to mob or in cases like Magnus to keep attacking while moving.
