How much power is enough power?

My class isn't fit for certain content and it makes me feel like it's pointless to upgrade more. Classes that are immune to statuses, or can ignore DR, are just plain on a different tier in terms of bossing availability.

The ramp up on bosses is just too sudden for me. There's Zakum and Hilla - Zakum doesn't do anything lethal, and Hilla has revives. Then there's HT and PB - both with lethal skills that must be avoided, but with reasonable HP. Arkarium, lethal skills, huge HP, but you can revive. And then there's Empress, Chaos Bean, etc. - with half a dozen lethal skills, no free revives. Hard mode Root Abyss and Magnus - some revives, but insanely high HP. Enough HP that classes are locked out based on the damage cap - how ridiculous is that, a boss that can't be beaten because you'd have to be cheating to do enough damage.

I can probably take down PB, with practice and the right party. I can solo HT and lower. But the step up to Empress and CPB? It's such a huge shelf that I'm not motivated. I'd need to pretty much start from scratch on gear. I have a 40% bossing weapon and that's just plain mediocre compared to what some players have.

Yea, it has become a real problem this.
At the moment I main a DB and it is fairly high when it comes to funding. I have started to find it a tad dull though, be it because it is lvl 200, that it is not new anymore or just a boring class in general.
What Nexon has done is that, despite the myriad of classes, it is really hard to switch main. I must pick a thief unless I want to let all my gear go to waste, and even if I decided to choose a non-thief my options are very limited to avoid a downright down grade.
I have a lvl 200 NL, but the class revamps made them into a totally different class that I find both useless and ugly, Shadowers are much the same, but at least they are not as crappy. Phantom's theme is not for me, and Xenon is just a clusterpineapple of fan service. The upcomming Night Walker revamp is the last hope I have for a NL done right.
I am slightly fond of my lvl 135 Wild Hunter but compared to a Blade Master it can't do very much in neither the grinding nor the bossing department. And the thought of funding a new class from scratch save for a clean Fafnir Xbow... Dear god, the cubing... The cubing...

So what do I end up doing? Log on just to afk. I have not actually played Maple for months, save for those few hours it took to get Hayato to 70 and Kanna to 120.

Oops that became a rant, but it does relate to the topic. Too much power not only makes the game become too easy, it also limits your options in a way.
