what best class dps for bossing?

n they wasnt dead

 

1) light element
2) very low dodge rate so SA DW never graze

 

my dodge is like 560 idk if that very low but im dex agi

 

Idk why you ranked bow and bow-gun below staff-fu and mage...

But these two can easily out dps melee classes due to range advantage... While everyone else is busy running away from aoe or busy chasing fleet footed bosses snipes can shoot from long range, although they cant do as much individual dmg as katanas and halbs

As for katana and zantei they do provide nuke dmg but sometimes you got nothing to counter wich can be a huge drawback

Halberd, theyre pretty bad in self prorating and their dps would be very reliant on parties proration, theyre also poor in mp management and their dps would flop in long runs compared to snipe and katanas, but if high phys proration is maintained they can deal lots of dmg...

A well geared mage can outdps any physical class due to tha fact that most classes are physical and they can easily leech off their proration... But on a good party that can maintain high physical proration, its dmg is meh... Add to that fleet footed bosses that wont stay inside yer storm

Staff-fu? Its heavy smash is win-flop double edged sword, if it lands, tons of dmg, if not, meh... t.kick deals dmg slightly lower than an elemental snipe, pretty bad in ampr due to low crit but can use quick mp charges, usually built with combos mixed with magic to maintain a balanced proration

2hs is a pretty well rounded class, perfect for newbies since they can be easily tweaked between defence and offence, but theyre either very mp heavy or very slow in using long combos.... Their individual skills dun deal much but all in all each skill deals slightly higher dmg than other classes' filler skills

And as most long time players say.... Its all a matter of what bests suit you and what boss your fighting... Theres no ultimate dps class

 

Aaand this is why i mentioned factors upon factors upon factors, which ultimately depends on strategy and stuff. Gave ye congratulationsious badgie because ye did what i couldnt in explainin xddddddddd

But as seen, hasso katana is seen easiest. Tho the lv4 katana skills seemed...lackluster? xdddddddd

 

Later u will be bored playing a single class and wanna try diff class anyway.

Don't listen to the them. Knuckles is life.

 

*cough* Sword fu *cough* *cough*

 

Mages now sorry - no other class can beat finnals dmg

 

It depend so much how good are you usin your build. Pt in new boss with 2 caped mages usin finale and always aoes kill them cause cant run away lol so totally depend how good are you usin your build and Your class^~^

 

Range, then melee.

Melee are at a disadvantage as all bosses have local aoes that disrupt attacks. So fewer opens for attacks.

Where as ranged can just run and gun.

 

Agree with you for most cases.

Best dps... As in the highest damage you can pull out? Like for attacker rank?
For normal and hard difficulty, except md and dw(im not sure about this one, it has abit different mechanic). All is good.... as long as you have +S weapon, your dps will be good.

If we are talking about nightmare and ultimate difficulty. High(or decent) dmg with good survivability playstyle is best. Keep dps ing and survive. Dead dps is useless so yeah you need survive. What class is good for this situation? Well.. Bow can hit from safe distance, knux can kamehameha from safe distance too, halb can just leap with dragontooth(need good timing with boss's aoe),
2h usually put vit so yeah they are tough(and meteor breaker has i-frame), 1h has decent(but lower than pure dps er) dps and good survivability (assuming semitank build)(dont know about fu build, maybe good too),
Mage has nuclear spell and range, so it has safe distance(problem is cast time and aggro),
katana has nuclear skill and many counter(nullified dmg) skill as long as the pilot KNOW HOW TO USE THEM(seriously most katana i met is just kamikaze->boom->ded)(there are good katana too, not all of them in suicide squad).

After all, its back to your skill. Halb, 2h, and knux t4 skill is easiest to use (no requirement for full potential).
