Top 25 Best AQW Classes Voted by the Community!

[@jest5837]

Everyone is thinking it Korey, you don't need to hide it. We all know Obsidian No Class is the number 1 class, AE even nerfed it by preventing you from ranking it to 10 but even still it's the best, no contest.

[@oneonone8855]

Note: LoO can be obtained through the chest, but to get Elysium Forge enchancement you need to have completed LoO "story line of quest". Farm it instead, a daily quest takes 14 or 15 days I think.

[@zeyadgabr8682]

Err I think you mixed up valiance and elysium (elysium needs awesended which why it's cancer to get)

Archmage will be my most favourite class, and favourite one they ever released. Simple combo, nice damage, cool name. 10/10

[@Beasitor]

Same, AM has a combo which is not boring and mindless casting, you'll literally pick which skills should be used depending on your situation and it 1 shot mobs every spawn if you know how to use it

[@YTHandlesBlow]

I also really like how from the archmage quest's you can get Providence, never used and many boost damage items cause I dont like using big armours/weapons but Providence is just a simple looking staff that gives the same boost as NSoD.

Brooo I have archmage and elysium do you think I have a reason to farm arcana invoker 😅 I mean it's great I saw it farm better in the radiant goddess of war farm (tho I didn't have Elysium then) there's an actual alternative class with similar performance but I think that AI is easier than archmage farm THAT REQUIRES THAT you are very social with other players to farm I will give it that

[@ElSalvaje100]

Arcana is a useless class dude😂

[@zeyadgabr8682]

[@abel_36]

Legendary Hero works like a secondary LoO in 7-man rooms. It's numbers are sorta balanced like a starting class so the actual numbers are pretty low and need supporting itself. But it's the only other healer with +dmg boost and the +str, int, luck on the 5 skill, which stacks multiplicatively with other stat buffs like from LoO and Valiance so it's effectively ~50%+ burst of dps

[@ojamagod9588]

Glacial/Glaceran Warlord is my goat. I mained it even before the rework, and with the right enhancements and combos, this thing does a lot. I even use it in ultras and not a single complaint.

[@akifr123]

It's kinda obvious, though it's close. Alpha Omega or Rustbucket

[@aqwvandizel]

VHL got the IoDA tag for the same reason NSoD got it. That mainly being that both items used to not give out a character page badge so there was no way to differentiate people who farmed it and people who IoDA'd it. It's why LR doesn't have an IoDA tag because it practically started off with a badge. Also I stick by CAv being my favorite. I like it's chill and sort of rhythmic gameplay style.

[@STI.Ricardito]

@@aqwvandizel I agree with you, cav is my favorite as well, does the same dps as vhl, unless vhl has dauntless

[@ImStian]

I know you're scared to admit that the Martial Artist is the best class in the game.

[@yuu3057]

Just a tip The Colletor class got a good change, its great for how easy it is to get, around 12k dps (elysium) great support and deffense.

[@TrevorJuve]

#1 is obviously Classic Defender. It has everything you need! It's got a built-in taunt, it's got scaling damage that increases as the fight goes on*, it's got a heal that also applies a shield to an ally, everything you need! (Just pretend it doesn't have issues with health, mana, cooldown, range, number of targets, and a forgettable debuff skill)

[@jimhot1653]

Legendary Hero is used as a SC replacement in ultras for certain comps as well as always used in 7 mans. Astralshrine, Originul, Kathool etc.

[@xelseartheonlyone1267]

Necrono is amazing for both farming and bosses. Especially bosses with minions with high hp. All you need is health vamp enchantment. I love the animations so i use it often when farming.

[@Saicofake]

Void Highlord being top 2 is crazy..

[@AP_Ando]

CSS > VHL

[@r4pture14]

@@AP_Ando LOO, LR, AP, CA > VHL at this point

[@lordunidas5558]

First off, YnR is top 10 mainly cause there are bosses that insta kill on hit and you can dodge literally every attack. However there are bosses that have unavoidable attacks. Now can somebody explain Light caster and Legendary Hero? Cause I have both, and they just don't get pulled out often cause LP exists for LC, and LoO, SC, and LR exists in Legendary Heroes place. Infact LH kinda just buffs damage and crit damage slightly. The legacy crater buff is pretty high as well as the HoT but it just didn't feel all that decent. As for OG CM, I feel like a lot of people voted it cause a CM in 300k up farming bosses just get deleted, shortening farm times. PCM is goated period. It's honestly insulting to see VDK below VHL nowadays. It does the same damage but it EXTREMELY helps with melting bosses Finally, as for LR, it's versatile in many areas but not superior to top classes in other departments. That being said, I grinded it just a couple months ago and tbh it was kinda worth it for when we don't have somebody in an ultra when it is required. Also for some farms that have higher hitting bosses, it works well but again not the best. I get using an IODA to some degree, but man it is kind of a waste when you only have to do the original missions once, then you can farm Ultra dage for the remaining parts. That QOL change alone makes it not worth using an IODA, especially cause it's not hard to grind now as well as it not being the best anywhere. Just a jack of all, master of none

I just got vdk it's pretty good actually it's buffs is op why were there an out cry THAT it's not good when it came out ? Why was it compared to vhl alot ?

14:48 Did not think 14 mins in the video that THIS class would appear. Never seen or heard of it 👀 Out of my 3 classes 2 of them made it (Ynr & Vhl) Awsome vid dude 👌

[@JohnPaulBuce]

i really like scarlet sorceress back then, it was the easy to get version of shaman

[@Khantlerpartesar]

Can you make a video of the most useful classes tier list? It's one thing to say they're the best, but it's also another to say which class is overall useful in all categories. Like, while VHL is strong, it's absolutely trash at farming and others like for the one-hit bosses. Similar to LR, beast at farming for F2P, but trash at dealing large amount of damage as well as for one-hit bosses. And LoO, absolutely necessity to every ultrabosses there is, but useless without other classes. Kinda like those.

[@Nightstrid]

do stonecrusher and infinity titan buffs actually stacks? if so, is it worth to have both in one party or do the buffs just reach certain cap that it's not worth doing?

[@Koreyx]

They did for a short time then they stopped them from stacking.

[@TSUKOYUMI44]

[@ozzyb6595]

[@storebjorn21]

You shoppe stack weekly dage insignia for LR, if you have enough you can Get it with only doing the farming quests once each!

[@xandervc26]

I just tried Arcana Invoker with Elysium and it's pretty good. People just don't know how to use it. Good DPS for soloing bosses like Queen Iona or other 1M+ HP bosses. Yes, it isn't as good as other DPS classes but it is good nonetheless. Farming wise, I'd stick to Archmage + Acheron/Elysium or Legion Revenant + literally anything.

[@solheim8303]

I'm confused, the title says best classes but ur pool was for most popular classes? popular doesn't mean best, also hard disagree on the SSoT take, not sure who told you it's "Not the best these days", it's still one of the best classes in the game to this day, it's DPS is stupidly high, the only reason it's not a popular class is because 1 it's a paid class and 2 it has a high skill ceiling, most people won't bother having to look at the screen and will just go for VHL and LR since they only require button mashing and are already pretty strong, making them the ideal classes to farm for endgame stuff. Also ShadowStalker of Time is the AC variant, ShadowWalker of time is the one you used to get from the calendar code

[@Koreyx]

Best will always be subjective to some extent. And SSOT is nothing like it was with glitched rooms now.

[@CannabutterMD]

he's not wrong in saying ssot is no longer the best, CSS has completely powercrept ssot. Only time where you actually want to use ssot is azalith but even then CDK is better

[@solheim8303]

​@@CannabutterMD i agree with you that SSOT is not as good as it used to but my point is he named the video's title "best classes voted by the community" when in actuality no one voted for best they voted for the most popular classes they used and popular doesn't mean best, how can you put support, farm and solo classes on the same tier list and subjectively call them best/worse when they're designed to do something totally different from each other? he placed SSOT on 24 because of it's popularity not because of power level and said the class was "not that good anymore", that doesn't even make sense, of course VHL, LR are always gonna be at the top since they're designed to make ur endgame farming easier and don't require any effort in using them, just button mashing. To use as an example even you pointed out, i'm sure in most situations CSS is a better class than VHL, now that doesn't mean people will use CSS more than VHL, for 2 obvious reasons it's a paid class and CSS requires a constant effort to use, no one is gonna farm bosses using something that requires effort when they can just open netflix on a different tab a bash their head on the keyboard while using VHL
