Since the mages ultis has a cooldown after big bang patch, i was wondering which will be the best spamming / farming class?
Thinking of starting 2 new chars with my gf, maybe 1 spammer & 1 dk?
Since there's HB pants now, are DKs still in demand for bossing runs?
Is it true that DKs will be using purple surf board after big bang patch?

60% is still better than 40%, and they deal a decent amount of damage so I would say they are still wanted for boss runs.
Due to it's high level and fast speed it is the best weapon currently for Dark Knights to use post Big Bang, but due to how rare it is you could use a Arcglaive instead.
Also, in my opinion Dark Knights are godly farmers if you know how to handle them properly.

Arcglaive from gacha?
So DKs will be using dragon crusher or fury?
The stab and swing thingy doesn't apply anymore?
Still need another class for my gf, any suggestion?

That depends on what you mean by spam class. Do you mean a class that can press one button and pretty much kill everything in the map? Because thankfully, there's no longer any that can do that easily.
The closest thing would probably be dual blades, since they have big mob attacks and awesome mobility.

You have to make an Arcglaive through Fiona in Phantom Forest.
Dark Knights will be using a mix of Crusher, Fury and Sacrifice.
Yeah. You can use a Polearm with Crusher and a Spear with Fury without damage being taken away.

Dual bladers are probably the fastest regular trainers at places like oblivion 4 mostly because everyone kills regular monsters so easily, and DBs just move around the fastest. I dunno about the new stuff like lionheart castle though.

Spammers are most boring, so why would you want to make one?

The stab and swing thingy doesn't apply anymore? Arclaive is made in phantom forest trading in 500 crimson woods (have fun hunting) and some other etcs.
From the videos I have seen, DK  pretty much use both fury and crusher now.
for the last question, i don't know.
EDIT:
ah dam it, L> delete button.

Just realised that even sudden raid has a cooldown time. So there's no more spammer i guess.
Maybe we just go for dk and bs combination, these 2 will still be needed for bossing run after bbp right?

Arcglaive: Make in CWK after doing a few quests, or gash for em in NLC. Then again a VIP spear or polearm have high enough base att to at least make up for some of the speed difference, maybe even surpass the DPS with its top tier potential. A red surf is still faster than a reg pole or spear but not enough to really make up for the low att. One of those fast surfboards would own anything, but we have so few of those in GMS that it might as well never have come from gash at all.
Both crusher and fury will be used, as well as sacrifice.
Stab or swing wont matter, polearm crusher will be no different from spear, and the same goes for fury.

Evans will be the only spammers. Earthquake has nice range and is very powerful.

Skills like avenger, CL, and peirce also have a nice range and are powerful, but no skill hits nearly as much of a map as quickly as ultis do now. (push button -> half the skeles in the map die within 2 seconds of button press)

A party of 4-5 arch mages/bishops can keep casting their ultimates every spawn rotation (yay).

DBs have a spammable ultimate. It's not very strong though, I think.

Pre-BB DBs have no problems 1hkoing Skeles with Sudden Raid.
Post-BB Sudden Raid has a 30 sec cooldown.

On a map like gallops they're very good for leeching. Also ultimates have a cool down, earthquake does not.

Buccaneers can spam DS like it's no tomorrow. 6 monsters at once and incredible range. In the time it takes to cast one Genesis/Ice/Meteor, you've already spammed 2-3 Dragon Strikes. Post BB of course.

And in the time it takes to do 3 dragon strikes you can blow 3 big bangs...

Vipers, definitely. Back Elbow into corner → spam Dragon Strike → repeat → ??? → profit

Earthquake's range is only slightly bigger than other player-centered AoE skills like Ice Strike and Arrow Rain. Other than Gallos and Captain/Krus there aren't any places where Earthquake can really compare to ults at all.
If anything's impressive it's Flame Wheel's wtp off screen range.
