Hi All New player since i was just discover maple royal lately My past i have been playing maplesea since 2006 (without pirate era and 4th job) till post big bang as a assassin. However, i quitting around year of 2012 due to not really spending those cash on cubing. My favorite class during that time was Battlemage, i have really fall into the style of combating. Question since the play style of Battlemage are similar to Hero and Darkknight, i was dilemma into this 2 job, i never played DK or hero as before , only thing i watch from video and pinned some post regarding pros and cons of both job. My intention are toward to Darkknight. However....... Since Darkknight having the best supporting skill - Hyper Body, what really come to my concern is all of the Atker (Nightlord/ Corsair/ BM) they all are able to wash thier HP all the way down without worry any dying from Bosses. that make me feel like having a DK with Hyper Body was not really useful now a day. If i going to pick DK, will i still be the preferred job to Bossing Squad? understand that DK suggest to some HP wash to activate berserk 50% (i dont mind to wash my HP by slowy leveling). Thinking to goes for HERO i have started 1-2 week as a warrior slowing, see alot of Mega aiming Atker for Zakum (Nightlord/ Bm / Corsair/) but non aiming for DK to bossing squad. and i start thinking to switch to Hero since the damage output was consider as NL/BM/Corsair even might not better then them. But at least they are counted as atker Come toward the end i still unable to make a decision, seeking for any 1 here to leave their opinion. Million of Thanks
Hey there! Both classes have their own strengths and weaknesses. Drk: Contrary to popular belief, drks are actually relatively sought after in parties like horntail and zakum. They have excellent mob control with the likes of spear crusher. Hyper body is an amazing utility support skill which you cannot underestimate. (Buff lasts for 300secs after new source) It cost a lot cheaper to wash to 30k hp because he has the innate ability, yes you guessed it, hyper body. All you have to do is to wash to 18750 base hp. The down side though, the end game weapon you are aiming for would be a sky ski, and those don't come cheap. Sure you can get a faltizan or a pinaka (both rocking the slow attack speed) but ultimately a sky ski would be the one you're looking at, and those don't come cheap. Sometimes it not always easy to berserk and it takes a little bit more attention to play as compared to heroes. Heroes: It's an excellent class to play if you're unfunded and of course a even better when you are funded. Though they do not have hyper body, they do have power guard and Achilles (drks have them as well) to help them tank up as well. Heck you don't even need to hp wash to horntail. They do not have party utility skills (of significance rage lul), so that's one thing. They have excellent mob control as well and they usually are faster as compared to Drks. They have good versatility in what end game weapon suits them, for example stonetooths, carabellas, red katanas and claymores. The best would be a dragon claymore if you have si, otherwise your best bet would be a stonetooth. If you're into saving money, enrage gets a buff as well with the new source to make it more useable as compared to now. Downsides for them would be that their best weapon, surprise surprise, cost quite abit as well. Stonetooths/claymores are most heroes go to end game weapon. However fret not, you can easily settle for a Sparta (they are really common to find) and weapon Attack shield for a start and upgrade from there. And of course hp washing. Though you aren't required to hp wash, most people do and they take more to wash as compared to a drk. All in all, the class you should go for really depends on prefence and funding. I would say heroes edge drks slightly on dps while drks are better utility as a whole. So I recommend you stick to a class you'll stick to, because no class will be good in an instance till you invest time and effort into them!
ok thanks for oponion Germy...in that the way....i going for Heroes....and i just did my 2nd job advancement.......way to go~
Drks even under berserk do less than hero. Only choose Drks if u like the playstyle and how the skills look, or maybe u like a challenge - staying under 12k hp. Hero just lol at you and hold down brandish though.
