Keep in mind, however, that Nexon is not done revamping classes, so nobody can really tell you what will be "garbage" in a few months. Aran is next up for a major overhaul (along with Evan), so maybe you won't need to switch after all.
Normally I'd say "play whatever seems fun to you", but the KMS director seems hell-bent on changing every class's playstyle, so nothing can be trusted to stay the same except the equipment. In which case, I guess, if axes look badass to you, might as well aim for that?
Besides, why do you need to pick a class now? It's not like you can stock up on any gear for it, or prepare the right link mules, or anything.
I've actually seen what they did to Aran during the first part of Reboot patch, and honestly the biggest change is they nerfed any and all drain skills from every class by changing them from % damage dealt to %max hp. Drain skills work per attack used and not per hit, so for example, Aran can throw out 4 attacks (FB and 3 parts of Beyonder) within 1.5 seconds or something like that, which procs the drain 4 times. Changing it from "10% damage dealt 20% max hp cap" (which heals 80% in this 4 attacks) to "2% max hp healed per drain" (which is 8% heal) is just pineappleing ridiculous and means that Aran is no longer the potionless sustain god he once was (with the character card for Evan for mana regen of course). The drain skill nerf was probably because of Mu Lung Dojo and how hilariously broken drains are in there.
That said, pre-Big Bang axe Hero was bad because of attack speed of axes or some other dumb reason, I don't remember why axes were bad on Saders back then, this was like pre v0.70 before Aran/DB even came out.
