Hello!

So, to start off sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, I am typing this on my phone at 1am.

But, I am only a week or so into playing the server.. and have found out it is really dependent on farming.. monster park..

So currently I have made 5 classes and have got them too 200... but didn’t really enjoy them I guess...

First
I played a Wind Archer, If was alright, but don’t really like that everyone plays them..

Then Buccaneer...
I liked it.. but I didn’t really like it’s flat line mobbing skill, and I know the second 5th job skill is decent, but I didn’t like the first one at all.. it was kinda disappointing.

Then AB....

I really liked playing the buster, supper fun, the only things I didn’t like was the 2 line mobbing skill.. and the fact that if you want to maximize the DPM you have to play on a very low resolution... that was really lame.

Then currently I’m on Demon Slayer, I liked it but I dont know.. seems not the greatest without 5th job + the hyper that doubles the lines.. and the 5th job skill only lasting 30seconds.


But yea, I don’t know!
I’d really like a class that’s fun, that is decent at Mobbing and that is also able to boss.
I really don’t want to make 2 classes.
And I really don’t wanna play Hayato...
I’d like a class that has decent damage scaling to 🤷🏻

What I was thinking.
In no order.

Wild Hunter. (One of my fav classes but the 5th job is really disappointing)
Battle Mage.
Dawn Warrior (slim)
Lumi (also slim I dont know about their bossing)
AB maybe..
Marksman (horrible at MP)


But I don’t know if you have any suggestions let me know, even if it isn’t on my list. 😅

Well, I have all jobs and my favourite is ARK. Although Ark's HP is very squishy, I am still satisfy with his gameplay. Mobbing and bossing is still acceptable. By all means, try Ark out. Cadena will be my second choice.

been inloved with paladins ever since i started GMS in 2006 until i quitted in 2014. never changed a main class. but am disappointed how paladins are treated now. the skills are really useless and it deserves a better spotlight. not only paladins even dk is boring now and it losts its popularity. heroes maintained there population tho, and i can recommend you this in terms of bossing but mobbing wise, they're not really that good. so explorer warriors aren't for you. i'm currently maining a zero, they're really fun and probably the least repetitive class in the game. but the bossing isn't really good aswell since most of the skills and combos are very mobile. kinesis is great, it has high dmg despite the low range because of the many passives it has, the downside to it is that it lacks skills and is very boring late game spamming only 2-3skills throughout the entire endgame. Aran is probably the best unfunded class, but the mobility in mobbing is slow, sure you have double jump but it doesn't really help farming considering aran's skill set, but it's still a decent mobber and a very good steady bosser so maybe that. hayato is probably the best farmer together with WA but yeah we both the same, we don't like populated classes. I loved hayato when it came out since i always loved samurais and anything related to japan (am not a weeb). but it became so common. i wanted to main a pally here but am forced to leave my favorite class bcuz of the current gameplay.... you really don't have much more choices if you want great gameplay in every category, WA, DA, DS, ARK, XENON, LUMI, DB.. those imo are on the top and i hope you find what you like from that lineup cuz i really can't think of anything hhaha. am slowly transitioning to main an MM myself, idk, it may be weak but i like playing classes that aren't used by a lot and i still believe they have bossing potential since it was one of the best bossers before, especially pre bb. so I'll consider that. but i can't say the same to my beloved paladin, they suck now bossing/mobbing wise. RIP pallies. sorry for bad english.

o well
I'm sure you've been told this countless amount of times but it's true, pick the class you enjoy playing or else you'll quit every class. I'm a prime example when it comes to this, I picked all my classes based on damage and mobility and the utility it gives and I end up always quitting or being an FM hoe. What helped me make my choice was going on YouTube and finding the most flashy class because that is what I like, lots of numbers and effects.

You can also try making link skills because you need them anyways, you can find a link skill guide here if you feel like trying this method out. Hope this helped, and good luck making a choice!

Yea, I have heard this, But.. Seeing that this server is pretty dependent on Farming if you pick a slower class, that is horrible at doing such thing, you are not going to get anywhere fast...

And yea! I really like flashy classes too.. But want to stay away from Warrior / Theif (Kinda) bc there stuff costs so much, But was told they scale really quick.
But idk..

As a hayato main i would say we have one of the best mobility skill at 5th job and we can cheat our way through levelling with that op 5th skill. If you meant farming through mp or certain places which you defo can 1hit i would suggest bucc because of their 5th skill that are both good in mp and only good for mobbing if you have high dmg (his other alternative mobbing skill aka Bucc Blast is shit).

Demon Slayer: Generally for a good mobber and bossing i would recommend DS even with their hyper cd (blue blood) they still deal huge amount of damage. (they also has 2 iframes that were fixed in the current patch so yay).

Demon Avenger: Good early mid game dmg and outscale most job in bossing at about 40k stats (imo). In terms of mobbing... meh i would say decent

Luminous: Good in both but heavily reliant on whether you are able to get tons of buff duration for your equilibrium. as really good 5th to help and is gonna be really op after the BLACK patch

Blaster: almost the same skill set in bossing and mobbing. Might give carpal tunnel but has the most consistent dmg overall.

Shad: A really good mobber too. high mid game dmg but compared to NL and db in bossing they fall off

Just to add my 0.02; while mobbing I’m general with WH isn’t awful, it’s not... great.

You can lock down areas of a map with your summons, but one only lasts 8 seconds which is horribly disappointing. 5th job is... sad, compared to some others; it improves on the one thing they already excel at, being bossing.

Now with that said - you can absolutely MELT bosses. I haven’t gotten to bosses such as Lucid and Lotus, but the ones that I have fought just... die. If you keep your 3 stacks up on a boss, there’s no chance. Vellum is of course still annoying to fight, though.

As far as things like MP go... I do a run in roughly 60s. Not as good as hayato or WA, but certainly not bad IMO.


If you have questions, let me know!

You need to let go of the costs, damage, popularity, etc. As Eki mentioned, it’s best to just find the class you have the most fun playing. Everything else will come if you decide to put in the work. Regardless of the class you pick, end game won’t be super easy. If making a second char makes farming quicker for you and you want to progress faster, then make a second char (this only really applies to faster MP times).

I’ll give you an example. Some may say that Shade is one of the worst classes in the game. It’s true that their 5th job is not so good and they are generally slower on the DPM side. However I loved playing Shade for years since I never had to buff, the mobility was amazing with a back step and arguably decent teleport, bind, and just the overall simplicity. In addition pirate gear was and probably still is relatively cheap compared to other classes. I played the shit out of my Shade and would still consider playing it again at some point.

I suppose the class you end up picking will have it’s ups and downs and you just have to learn to live with the downs if you enjoy the class.

I think your best option is Dawn Warrior.
Like any other warrior its tanky and having some HP around, It has a nice divinity with the play style and the 5th job is pretty sweet tbh.
Its good for mobbing and bossing (Moon Side) and you're pretty mobile too with the Cygnus upper jump.

Idk about the rest you listed because I just think Dawn Warrior was the best out of the listed, its the best all around Warrior (In my opinion).

I mained ice/lightning in GMS, however after playing battlemage in Aries i discovered that this is a farming server, the thought of going back to ice lightning did come into mind.

because after the black update. Hands down in terms of blatant farming even prolly in MP (vanishing journey map), Ice/lightning with 3 5th job all map clear skill will be the best class in a farming server and probably one of the top tier for clearing lucid phase 1.

However luminous was tied with I/L as best farmer pre-black update. The decision to choose luminous was because of how the boss Will and how does the black mage boss phase 3 works (refer to the KMS patch) and single target bossing is very important. That being said luminous does not struggle alot with lucid phase 1. That's why I locked into luminous for its balance mechanics.

I choose my class based on playstyle, I dislike to move too much while farming (hence I hate spirit saviour with a burning soul).

If u have the same playstyle as me, do not overlook fire/poison. their bossing is not to be taken light of. they have great potential.
