This thread's purpose is to see who is the best dps wise for a lvl 200 on a 1v1 stationary boss. People starting mentioning class imbalances based ONLY on dps 1v1. Yes there are imbalances, but if you look at the bigger picture, those classes on the bottom have some sort of uniqueness that balances their imbalance (lol). Imo, Bishops were never meant as a DPS class, but more of a support class (HS, bless, heal, ress, etc). Imagine if they had all of these support skills AND were on the top of the list (dps). That would be imbalanced correct? There are plenty of other situations that have not been factored in for "balancing issues". Ex. multi-part boss (zak arms), range of attack skill, survivability (hp,avoid,mg), mobility of bosses (BGA), party skills (SI,HS,SE), mobility (FJ, tele, rush), mobs (training wise), and equipment. Equipment is debatable because there are many special items that favor certain classes over others (ele wands/staves, dragon khanjars, ST, LB, PSB) and the cost of equipment themselves. Currently in Scania, a 21% earring will be STR>LUK,DEX,INT in terms of value. DBs need to purchase two weapons compared to other classes. And like what Takebacker was saying, there's invincibility frames and dice rolling to your advantage.
If you guys want 100% balance then everyone will be exactly the same. Imbalances will always be here but Maple is moving towards better balanced classes as time goes by.
