    I'm a new player in the server and I'm debating between two characters, Paladin or bucc or drk. I want to know who is better and why?
    How are each of them in terms of mobs and boss?
    I've looked for similar threads but they're all old. I'd glad to hear your opinions.

    Thanks.

    Paladin is a decent warrior, needed for multiple bosses.

    Pros:
    - easy to wash since warrior get high base hp
    - easy to fund, have multiple weapon options
    - mandatory in Horntail, Zakum, Scarga, pretty okay at other bosses
    - Very Good in Neo Tokyo

    Cons:
    - pretty hard to understand all the elements and get used to it
    - not that good in LHC or Von Leon
    - bad at CWK, last choice warrior (can go vs mage boss and he is okay there)
    - not great mutli-target


    Buccaneer is easily (in my opinion and many others) the best class in the game.

    Pros:
    - Easy to wash, hp friendly.
    - Pretty easy to fund, very good damage
    - Needed in most, if not all contents in the game
    - Can deal very nice damage even if low-funded
    - Very fun to play
    - Long iFrames (iframes = frames where your character cannot be hit by anything) with Demolition and Barrage

    Cons:
    - Can't find any

    Since Geto did not speak to Drk ill add this as I agree with much of what was already mentioned.

    Pro's
    • HP wash is not expensive since no base int will be needed.
    • Strong multi mob attack class and good mob control rush.
    • HB is useful for folks who are not heavily washed.
    • Strong class at early levels if you decide to train it up yourself and not leech.
    • Pretty nostalgic class from old gms days.

    Con's
    • The mechanics of self potting to maintain berserk can be difficult at some end game content. ( debatable this could be a pro if you enjoy the challenge of a more difficult class )
    • Can be difficult to find bossing parties due to single target dps not being ideal compared to other classes ( Drk is good for CWK, LHC, and Rose garden though so thats good )
    • Could benefit greatly from mules such as SI or SE or both which may incline you to create those in the future.
    Conclusion: I think any of them could be fun for you to play although I would put my money on pally/bucc as a first main since other accounts stack up with them very well and will benefit from each other. Of course in the future you could make all 3 for fun!

    his original message didn't include drk, so i didn't talk about it (I am a main DrK after all..)

    but yeah, i think that what you said is quite accurate, also - you don't have to manual pot in 99% of bosses, only in Von Leon / AUF Haven but AUF is not content that is meant for a DrK, only for some weirdos (such as myself) that like the challenge.

    you don't have to create SI / SE mules for a DrK as most contents would have at least one of them.
    a pretty big con for a DrK is that you HAVE to have SI in order to deal your (almost) best damage.
    also - most bosses (CWK / HT / VL / Zak / Scarga) does have multi-enemies, the only boss i can think of that would not be as good for a DrK is Krex.

    all in all, i agree with what most of what you said so i dont have much to add besides the above.

    If you don't have time for muling, maining a paladin is probably the easiest way to guarantee you'll be taken for boss runs never mind your damage or level. Bucc is the next good choice. A DrK is almost a pure attacker, so I wouldn't consider it in these circumstances.


    Between pally and bucc:

    Pally has better single target DPS (very good) and a better party skill (cr useful for ALL parties no matter the composition)

    Bucc's si is irrelevant in many compositions, although very useful in melee parties. Better multi target, worse single target than pally.


    All in all, bucc is PROBABLY gonna give you more dopamine hits XD

    Pali only get you to specific bosses, there are a lot of bosses that don't require cr, Vl auf, toad, shao and a lot more.
    Not to say pali isn't good, but it's not a get into any boss free pass.

    Single Target DPS will be as followed:

    Self buffed:
    Bucc > Pally > Drk

    Full party buff:
    Bucc > Pally = Drk

    Since this is your first “attacker” you will likely run alot of LHC and RG to level and fund yourself.

    LHC:
    Drk are main damage dealers and you will be sought after.
    Buccs are essential and will be needed for Si and TL. More of a support role.
    Pallys are above average at BW and golems but your dps will suffer when there are 3 mobs or less.
    All three will do well in LHC.

    RG:
    Drk are arguably the easiest class for this content and easy to cap out on bees
    Pallys are very good here too and wont have a hard time capping bees.
    Buccs are probably the worst melee and you will either have to run excess apples or funding to cap bees.

    As a Drk/Bucc main, Id say go Pally first, as its the most middle ground in terms of pros and cons for a new player.

    Based on this post https://royals.ms/forum/threads/pirate-king-krexels-2nd-eye-dps-tests-bucc-and-sair.145069/ I'd say the assessment of pally better than bucc at single target dps is incorrect. Also Bucc has Time Leap skill which is very useful. I will add as well that bucc dps is also good with little funding as first class which is also similar to pally if you choose say 1h bw route you can get a pretty good weapon fairly cheap. Out of all 3 choices hes debating I don't think there is a wrong class to pick so long as your having fun playing so I would recommend trying one out and if its boring or something just make the others.

    I can't find how to cross my sentence but thank you for the correction. I am not a pally main but I was sure their damage on single targets was superior than other melee classes...

    Melee single target is usually
    Bucc ->shad->pali->drk->hero
    At least from what I know, with funding maybe shad is stronger than bucc? Scaling is weird in this game

    Great choice!

    Depending on your HP goals but you can easily get to 30k hp with zero base int.

    Id say go buy some cheap int gears and wear it as you level up. I wouldn't advise winging it for other classes, but HP washing for warriors are that simple.

    Will you be leeching yourself, buying leech or training your Pally to 4th job?
