Aran VS Heroes

So in every aspect of the game...which is the best Melee class? Not just the best DPS since corsairs are obviously the DPS king

I'm mostly looking for people who have played both Arans and Heroes to make a unbiased comparison

So you want people who have played 2 classes to choose which is best, but remain unbiased? Not really sure that is possible. You'd be getting their opinions of which they thought were better(which may be impacted by what weapons they had available or skillbooks or anything like that) or you'd be getting opinions on which they liked more(which may not be the same as for anyone else). The few "facts" you'd get would be how quickly they'd take down bosses or something, which would depend on control and equips for a lot of it, level and memory for the rest.

Also, if you arent looking for "who's the better DPS" to be answered, what do you mean by "best melee class"?
