JapanMS' Rebalanced Hard Core Mode

Now keep in mind that this may not be the exactly same in JMS or future GMS supreme server.
Also ye, I know this is going to be a double post


Theres also a few things that need to be thought of when I say these things:

- Summons: They never miss and they have no cooldwon on their attacks, its exactly like the normal server apart from the stunning/freezing/dot part
- High survivability: By this I dont mean that you can tank 7-10 hits, its more like 2-4, obviously paladins can probably tank a lot more before dying but you get the point
- Can/cant job advance: This means that you can or cannot job advance at the orginal levels (30, 60, 100) without any help at all
- Im also not gonna do a pro/con for f/p. Mainly because DoT's dont work, so there should be no reason to play this class at all, you will be just as useless as a beginner.

Also keep in mind that some classes might have VERY low pro's like hero, mainly because ALL your skills are mobbing skills and its not easy to obtain skill books.

Warrior:

Hero: Stay away from this class, its terrible in supreme

Pro:
- High survivability
- Rage (with low funding this will help a lot)
- Passive hp/mp regen

Con:
- Main skill is a mob attacking skill (this forces you to use all 3 in a cycle rather than being able to use one)
- Advanced combo attack will not be easily obtainable
- Melee
- Cannot job advance to 4th job

Dark Knight: Probably the best options if you want a warrior

Pro:
- High survivability
- HP drain
- Spamable 1vs1 skill (sacrifice)
- A lot of good aoe abilities that can be used in a cycle (my friend usually did crusher -> fury -> dark impale -> slash blast -> roar and everything would be cooled down to repeat that cycle, except for roar obviously)
- Hyper body
- Iron will
- Good 4th job skills to make sacrifice stronger
- 150 hyper skill is fairly strong
- 170 hyper is okey

Cons:
- Melee
- Low dmg reduction (aka no achilles)
- Cannot job advance to 4th job
- Need to use HP in order to do damage

Paladin: Highly recommended in the long run

Pro:
- Really high survivability, especially if you manage to get 4th job
- Spamable 1vs1 4th job skill
- Few decent aoe abilities (mostly talking about that hammer skill, you wont be fighting boss mobs, so it will always be useful)

- Only job that can potentially get a binding skill

Con:
- Melee
- Cannot job advance to 4th job
