lmk pls

Hero's are strong but fairly boring imo.
Aran is crap, dont play that.
Bowmaster got some really good buffs.
Marksman is just as good, but i'd say Bowmaster's bossing skill for 4th job is better.

All depends on what you prefer. Like mobility, life, how well you can survive at bosses.

But if it's just general, my rankings go.

1.) Marksman - Bossing w/ snipe amazing damage output.
2.)Hero - Warriors are tanks, also decent damage.
3.) Bowmaster - But might as well make phantom.
4.) Aran - Bottom of the list not relevant.

^ This ranking is also in terms of DPS, so if you just want pure dmg output. There it is xD
Marksman and Hero have pretty close DPS so it isn't worth fretting over. Play which ever of the two.
Hero's don't do "decent dmg", they do just as much as Marksman ^-^

As for phantom, they fall off in the end compared to Bowmasters, but they use different stats, I wouldn't compare the two. Phantoms also can take extremely useful skills so despite ending up weaker than some other class, they're still a great class.

Bowmaster's fall short just a little, but are now better than Wind Archers, so they've been buffed enough that they can be used on equal ground.

As for Aran, they do less than half the damage of Marksmen and Heroes, and even Bowmasters. Not advised to play Aran anymore. They had their run of being OP.

I prefer picking a balance between flashier skills and higher dps, so I would choose Hero or Marksmen. Which ever of the two are easier to gear.

Hope this helps ^-^

Also, You should probably include some dislikes and likes about choosing a character. If you were looking for dps only. The only route is Zero's since they do 2x more dmg than any other class.



As for this, Bowmaster's dmg scale larger than Marksmen do, so if you're starting completely new and no funds. They might be a little stronger at first. However, they'll still fall short against Marksmen in the end.

Play DB

Honestly Aran isn't weak if you can fund them and play them efficiently.
I find them much funner than most spamming classes (although they're kind of spam)
my aran is lvl125 with 40k range and 3 hits mpe mobs.
