[@alexc4012]

If you're a relatively casual player, I think it can't be understated enough that you pick a class that you actually enjoy grinding with / makes grinding easy for you. The class that you think would be cracked because of DPM charts and tier lists is going to be useless if it's eternally stuck at 210-220 because you don't want to grind with it. (Speaking with previous experience as a cadena main).

[@yoshikagekira1719]

What's wrong with Cadena? I'm just returning recently

[@alexc4012]

@@yoshikagekira1719 Nothing's wrong with her if you like her playstyle! She's a very strong bosser if you can use her. I just personally didn't like the whole animation cancel mechanic for bossing and thought her grinding was kinda slow.

[@ashenreborn1161]

Ye a bit late but I’m facing the same problem I just started the game and picked Cadena cause she looked cool and the learning curve plus her own difficult kit as a first time mapler definitely made my fingers hurt and reconsider and this is pre level 200 on a hyper character I’m curious who u chose to main or u stuck to Cadena I have Adele in mind but still picking

[@Zephyr_Havoc]

I/L mage feels super solid. Only downside is that chain lightning can feel somewhat clunky since enemies right in your face usually don't even get hit and it doesn't chain nearly as well as luminous' main mobbing skill, but you have ice age, an amazing mobbing skill. Can effectively clear entire maps without even moving or pressing buttons for 15 seconds and then do it again in another 45 seconds. Just throw spirit of snow, ice age and thunder sphere on platforms and teleport on the bottom floor of maps while spamming chain lightning and it's effortless grinding.

[@ericap7446]

Ive been playing Maplestory again after having to stop for a few years, and I must say that Aran has some of the best mobbing I’ve played with in a while compared to others. She really just makes it incredibly easy, especially if you can get those key presses right and its really fun when you do. I got her to level 160 faster than even my Kanna, who I just hit a wall with at some point, and I’d say it takes me about an hour per 10 levels if I dont have an exp buff on her.

[@MusikalJoker]

Pretty much every class is viable but you just have to watch videos on classes and see what sort of playstyle you like. Alternatively just make a character and level it up to at least 140 to get a feel (200 if you're on the fence about it as many classes "unlock" at 200). For example I recently leveled a Hoyoung to 140 and I think it is probably my least favorite class by far, just feels so clunky and unrewarding to me but I know many people who love the class. At the end of the day I still get the link skills from leveling him up though so I still gain for my main class.

[@blazingfire365]

HY gameplay starts at 140 as thats when you get tonic and easy training but for bossing he starts at 200. Pretty much all classes start at 200 which some exceptions.

[@user-ce7yl3eq6i]

I would suggest getting the characters to level 200 first, then spend some (10-20?) core gemstones to unlock the skills first. Try the skills out on a boss and see if the bossing style is for you. This is especially important if you are choosing a bossing main. Gameplay really starts at 200 for almost all classes.

[@mystith]

@@blazingfire365 agreed- hoyoung's burst is literally all V skills, so bossing completely changes at 200

[@peeko_luxx2873]

If you come from the way the game used to play, it’s crazy how easy it is to level. Although I miss the dragged out leveling and progression pathing, I can’t say I’m not happy about being able to try classes I would never have due to how much time I would have to put into it. Very convenient! Greatly enjoying buccaneer! Cheers

[@Kishimyu]

They ever gonna bring back party focused events? I miss that aspect of old Maplestory.

[@wowditto]

I highly HIGHLY doubt it.... everyone levels from like 1 to what 50 in 5 minutes... where as old ones took maybe a month on constant playing pqing in kerning, ludi, romeo juilet, etc etc but Yea I wish they brought back the hard leveling system so it makes people band together and the community gets better

[@phoenixalpha9145]

Me with a Buccaneer main and Shadower / Paladin bossing mules. I made the right choices.

[@Geometry3394]

Kain will be getting insane damage buff in savior patch btw. it will be a top tier bossing mule class

[@MrDavekee]

Was thinking to hyperburn it. Is it fluid/not too complicated to play it?

[@Geometry3394]

@@MrDavekee need to use green potion and atk speed skill node to be fluid. About the gameplay it's simple if u understand the class mechanic, but if u prefer class with less button press then Kain is not the class

[@Medaumplay3]

i've only been playing for about a month, and decided to main marksman. It's been a lot of fun, the illusion arrow is so good it feels like cheating. I also enjoy how it pulls normal mobs into it, so it's very useful while mobbing too. Not that marksman need much help mobbing without it

Aran is certainly my favorite. Been playing Aran ever since the year he was released.

Aran feels so good after Ignition. Farming with BB is amazing.

[@nirorit]

Lvl?

[@primeangel]

Hero has a skill that gives 50% IED so I doubt they lacking. Crit rate is kinda meh, ideally you get 20% from IA. I'd mention DK over Pally since it also has an insane kit but does more dmg

[@MonkStarling]

110% final dmg, 51% ied when used with dCO

[@mahiruchan6424]

But Hero is much better in solo bossing 25sec cd with 5th job burst 2min cd only.

[@omer0544]

What are the invisibility frames of the dawn warrior beside the dash?

[@SilverFoxR]

I have a question... which classes do you feel fall behind or maybe deserve a full revamp? I feel like not a lot of people seem to like Evan anymore (which is a huge shame), for example.

[@alfochewy]

Most of the resistance class

[@lovelyx33]

Honestly Corsair is hidden OP right now. Cooldowns feel so smooth and align well with your summon duration. Massive burst and easier to play than at first glance.

[@nirorit]

It's strong, not OP :P

[@alfochewy]

They get minor nerfed on their burst in Savior update

[@henrryma8460]

Class isn’t really bursty BUT it does have good DPM. I would say it’s mediocre

[@Mint_Condition]

The reason people ask who is the best is so that they can get a good start or a bosser. I ask this question a lot because balance is fickle and my favorite class aesthetically is Phantom. I have loved this boy since he dropped, but he has received so many changes over the years and suffice to say he is almost never in a good spot so I don't play him anymore. It is a bit annoying when I am asking someone this question or googling it, winding up on the forums and get an answer that reads "Just play who you like xD" Yeah I'd love to be leveling a character and find out they're not very good at progressing solo. People don't realize that wasting a Tera/Hyper Burn on a character who's simply not as good as you thought isn't going to keep people playing. In fact, I used to drop the game if It turned out that class couldn't really progress.

[@phantomsea8987]

I feel you as ex-phantom main Now I swap to PathFinder and again it's getting the nerf route again, imagine getting same treatment twice in a row, it feels so sux while seeing my other friends getting multiple buffs and easy clear content. Don't get me wrong, at least PathFinder isn't as drag into the mud like Phantom in my opinion.

[@Yash4543]

Dude I’m on the same exact page as you, fellow phantom main but class is terrible compared to others at same stat

[@RexZShadow]

Seriously people ask because a strong class with easily progression get you hooked then you can switch up if you really want to. Playing a weak class for new players just means they quite faster.

[@Jesse-ex6pn]

Every twitch streamer says just play what you like. When people ask.. Every class is viable and capable to one shot in grinding and can boss.. I’m not saying playing the best classes doesn’t help you but I would leave that to elite hardcore players. If your casual your making a big mistake. Just look up class rankings.. every class basically has people 280+ so relax.. play your favorite class and progress at your pace.

[@JustinJonesLi]

5:03 I think there might be a small error in your audio :P

[@thunderingice667]

One part of choosing a class that I don’t see addressed is what does the main mobbing skill sound like. It doesn’t matter for everyone, but if I going to farm on a character, I need positive feedback from the visual animations and sfx. Machinist’s missiles are an example of absolutely awful thing that means I will never play the class. More personally though, I was hyped to play night lord, got it to 4th job and found out the farming skill has quite unsatisfying. I didn’t make it to 200, and quit that patch not too long after. As weird as it may be, I wish there were more videos that let me listen to class sfx.

[@nirorit]

There isn't a single explorer (Jett doesn't count) I'd say isn't in a good place atm Also: don't make (other than legion/link) Hoyoung or Mercedes unless you think they look fun, they just don't deserve to stand shoulder to shoulder next to hero. Instead: demon slayer

[@saiyansbarrage1821]

Having main around a 220 NL in Windia, I switched to reboot recently and hyper burning a NW rn around 140. Honestly so far I think I like the playstyle of NL more but I see everyone preferring NW, even tho NL population is crazy higher 😅 so hopefully I can start to enjoy NW more

[@saiyansbarrage1821]

Oops not playstyle, the kit* of NL.

[@MelkanVath]

i literally came back to the game (again) to one of the burning events and made an illium even to peoples dismay, and i fuckin love it lmao. its so much fun slinging the ball around and blowing stuff up. it was one of the first characters i finally got over 200.

[@mrnoobssayshi]

1) Dawn Warrior 2) Shadower 3) Buccaner 4) Marksman/ Bowmaster 5) Luminous 6) Paladin 7) Hero 8) Ho Young 9) Illium 10) Aram 11) Cadena/mercedes

[@LazyVinceLamb71]

i might b off the zaza but im funding a shade rn and they ignore 20% def and get a buff for an extra 30% plus 20% boss dmg in my opinoin they have giant mobbing skills for cleaeing arcane river and stuff and true spirit claw is cracked for bossing and i havent put a dime of real money on this guy

[@MakotoNoxx]

Hope for Zero to be "in a really good spot" one day, it's just my favorite character. But for now I'll try paladin cuz it looks really cool, tried DW with the burning but it's not for me, I just can't...

[@NickMcHardyGolfs]

Love the Illium class and I'm surprised to hear that it's not super popular

[@AgentCupcake]

I know, right?! I was surprised too! I found it interesting and fun from the very start! ^^

[@YUEjyut]

i just started the game and everyone i talked to was like "yeah just pick anyone really" then i said i picked illium and they were like "oh..."

[@Renbits]

can't believe you forgot night walker

[@teensugoi3567]

Agreed! NW is the insanely good after Ignition update. That’s why I decided to change my NW from sub-main to main character

[@ReinLie]

Shhh let everyone sleep on my main

[@nirorit]

Vs. Hero or even Illium? Nehhh Nw is great, but not that great

[@henrryma8460]

NW is good but it’s not broken or OP 😂 not beginner friendly as well unless you hyper burn it.

[@distro99]

should i keep my burning character as hoyoung or should i change it to something like battle mage or to one of the two different arch mages (fire/poison or ice/lightning)

i was planning to main adele until i randomly went on my hero and realized the hero could do everything the adele can minus all the key mashing lol

[@astraea926]

I just started the game and kind of confused on the classes. How do you become a dawn warrior? What would I select at the character creation screen?

[@coppersan]

The dawn warrior is part of the Knight of Cygnus!

[@FredCyber]

I hyper burned a dawn warrior on a whim and I'm so glad I did. Already past my original Aran main and is just so simple to play while still feeling engaging. Did solo CRA for the first time, cZakum, and hopefully I'll be able to knock out lomien very soon (although my first practice run of damien he promptly kicked my ass)

[@nirorit]

Aran has pretty good matchups against the earlier bosses, probably just a difference in gear/nodes

[@NSILY]

its been awhile since I check one of your top class videos and im amazed adele wasnt mentioned XD (unless i missed it)

Pally and hero but no DK? Now i'm sad :(

[@Snowy123]

f u copper, I told myself I won't be returning to MS because its not the same game anymore but your videos are too good and now im downloading MS.

[@saiboticrage8581]

[@jf5818]

No Mihile? Even with the slight nerfs in 6 months, they're absolutely crazy right now and will continue to be.

[@MrKYYLEE]

If u don’t care about dmg, mihile is one of the best.

[@SatoshiAR]

Rolled Mihile as my hyper burning character. It's crazy how hard it is to die and his mobbing is very cozy.

[@31Huse75]

Man I have the worst habit of grinding burning events hard as and then forgetting about maple, is there anything I can do with a bunch of basically naked lvl 200 chars or am I stuffed without the gear, reboot.

[@TùngVũAnh-k9o]

Is Thunder Breaker good in this version?

[@Bandopede]

I don't really like the way skills look now. It's hard to explain, but it kind of feels like the difference between practical effects and CGI. I do appreciate the effort to make every class "cool" though.

[@Sillzx]

i might get slammed for this but, i LOVE the PathFinder -- mobbing is awesome with it. The damage area is huge allowing you to hit above you and below you. and to top it off you get a huge freaking bow that you can use as a sentry or just load up and blast them apart with good mobility. I am an "old school player" just returning once again. I just cant keep away from this game thanks to Coppersan with his incredible dedication to this game for so many years. Luminus with those grim reaper animations though!?! looks so awesome i might have to make one of those. i think my biggest challenge since i play solo is bossing - i seem to be hard stuck on crimson wood boss - the clown, chick, princess and just rock snake just beat my butt like no tomorrow so i just focus on grinding hoping that the higher level i become the easier it will be to kill those bosses

[@RecklessMAARIOOOO]

If you'd like I'm a solo player as well if you play on reboot I'd love to team up with someone
