Which of the original Warriors?
Hey guys, it's been quite a while since I've touched this game, and I'm thinking about coming back and starting fresh... Since I'm pretty sure my NL is like 110% obsolete, since he was already pretty terrible (but bless his soul) before Big Bang.
I've always sort of wanted to have myself a Warrior. Now this would be absolutely zero funding, possibly a new world (I dunno what Windia's like these days), and honestly damage doesn't matter AT ALL to me... I was pretty content with my 3k range back in the day.
So guys... unfunded, inexperienced, and just looking to have fun... Hero, Pally, or DK? I'm looking for every opinion, and it would be awesome to hear from people who've played multiple types. I have a feeling DK might come out on top, just because the ridiculous HP, but I know Pally's were getting pretty popular just before BB.
Thanks to all you wise Warriors.

Thanks a ton everybody... it's really nice to hear some opinions first-hand!
[quote=Verkins]I played all three classes.
Hero shines around level 170+ and hits hard at 1vs1, they are great for soloing. They have ok mobbing skills and burns a lot of pots.
Paladin has great mobbing skills, support, and decent 1vs1, they can tank all day and barely burn hp pots.
Dark Knight also have great mobbing skills, decent support, and great 1vs1, they life leech all day and don't need to use hp pots.[/quote]
Paladins also got a healing skill.
So after 18 hours of non-stop grinding, when you finally took 3% of your max hp as damage you can just heal it all back up
I would go with Hero for interestingness's sake. Not very many of them either, if that matters to you.

Come to YMCK, I'll do some easy bosses with you. (Im not very funded myself)
DrKs and Pallys are both solid choices, and you can't really go wrong. Pally does have more party utility.
I remember your post on Basil long ago, bless your NL's soul.
You should roll with a Hero in my opinion, they are becoming undervalued and that is sad to see.
If you are truly considering changing worlds then I would suggest Scania or just stay in Winda, seeing as a lot of people complain about their population in other worlds.
[quote=Avatar]Since you want the original warriors you probably want to feel some nostalgia but the dark knight skills are changed quite a bit while heroes still have the combo orbs just saying[/quote]
Yeah, you're right... this is definitely gonna be nostalgic. Thanks though, that actually will weigh on my decision. I think it'd be cool to get myself a Hero and rock a Stonetooth for at least a little while.
[quote=xVolcomStone]Thanks a ton for the input guys... definitely nice to hear some first-hand experience. I won't be starting for a couple weeks, so I have a bit of time to weigh it out. I think I'm kinda partial to DKs and Heros though, but Pallys bring quite a bit to the table.[/quote]

Pally is going to get nerfed.
You should level up all three to 120 and see which class you enjoyed the most while training.
Hero are very late bloomers, but I think they're awesome for what they do.
Dark knight are supposed to have the highest damage but yeah right, my paladin is much better than my dark knight was.
Pallies have high damage, great mobbing, great boss support, godly defense.
Heros are the most spammy, with one attack being their bossing and mobbing attack, but they have enrage for bossing.
Paladin have to stack 5 charges by alternating charge attacks, then use blast, then stack 5 again. They use blast for bossing til the buff runs out and consumes 5 charges again.
Dark Knight has some interesting stuff with gungnir, which you can spam for a bit then has a cooldown I think.
Anyway I don't know.
I might, just MIGHT, switch to a hero after pallies get the major nerf in the future. Depends how much I'm longing for change.
Pally's have good looking skills
If you look around maple, you will find that dark knights and paladins greatly outnumber hero's. I believe that at the moment, Hero's are the worst of the 3, with dark knights having high ranges and good damage with infinite sacrifice+gungir along with nice utility skills, and paladins having great defenses and being able to ignore a monsters elemental resistance which means not having their damage halved at most bosses as well as being able to bind bosses. Hero's don't stand out, they have low ranges but do quite decent damage for their ranges. If I was to main an explorer warrior again, I would still choose hero because its my favourite warrior class.
Welcome back
Night Lords are actually a pretty decent class since the RED update, they got some pretty nice boosts.
Heroes lack a bit in the survivability departement so they might not be the wisest choice to start out with.
Paladins are even tankier than they were before, and got pretty decent damage now, they got a particular buff which makes them do very good damage on endgame bosses, but it'll get nerfed in the future and I'm afraid you won't get there before then unless you pump a lot of money in the game.
Dark Knights are also really good, they also nearly never need health potions and their raw damage output is pretty high as well. They will get nerfed in the future as well, but not as hard as Paladins by a long shot.
