I know I've made a thread down in the Class section but I am bugged and worried about it and I want to know my answer and quick. In this thread I'm looking for which is better for bossing and damage. I know most of you or some of you have seen my Melee Rivals thread and I made the choice of being a Page but everytime I see a Brawler, it just makes me regret leaving it and when I'm playing a Brawler and I see a Page, the same thing, I regret leaving it. What am I suppose to do? I'm too selfish Basil. I went back to watching videos on Youtube and after thoroughly looking through I've seen both classes have their differences. I love how the Buccaneers can do so much combos but I hate how once in a while you have to use other skills to cover up for that delay time which at the same time could be fun x_x Barrage is a damn sexy skill as well. Paladins drag my attention because of Blast. I can't really decide at the same time because I like to go on mini boss runs or even bossing and I am a damage hoar so I try to look at the one with the best damage. >_> At the same time I want fairly easy training without worrying about it getting boring :P Which one advances in training, which in better damage? Which can save me money with pots for training? Either a Buccaneer or my BW to be Pally. Thank you for your help and I'm sorry for being such a pain in the arse and making yet another thread. Which one does better damage? DPM? If I were to use this character to boss will a BW Paladin be able to out damage the Buccaneer or vice versa? Thanks.

I found brawlers really easy to train. I can't imagine if having no delays would be good or not because then we would lose our invincible frames xD.. I think this might help in terms of dpm: link Pally would be stronger against elemental weak monsters but that's not the case for most bosses. Buccs mainly have flashy skills with really high hits, especially with se/apple.. Sadly I cant compare/speak for pally's since I've never had one .

It's funny how a majority of the maple community that posted here are buccs. And there are are a lot more buccs than palis. Due to bandwagons of course. Anyways Paladins would be better DPM wise. Holy/Divine+Blast is way better than the much delayed attacks coming from a buccs having to combo. I will say buccs are fun, but you asked for the better DPM and faster training. Paladins are the fastest Non-mage trainers. It's all about that holy+acb+hh. Happy decision making.

Neutral. For the Bucc, no demolition. Basically Pally vs monster that is neutral vs a Bucc with just Barrage and the other skills, no demo.

So according to this table, Heroes are the best DPM warrior class?

For Pally neutral charge would be (I'm putting as BW only since you're BW): 54159 (2H), 58255 (1H) Buccs with Barrage+Dragon Strike: 53697. This is DPS They're pretty even lol. @Timo: Only Corsairs though, they have the highest DPM in the game, buccs do not. @Acentric: Nope,

Bountyan said: " It says Corsairs are the best and BM's second best." Yeah, I know. That is why I put "WARRIOR class". Not overall.

Funny how you didn't even include Bucc's strongest attack in there. EDIT: Oh, you're doing some really odd and useless comparison. Carry on.

Paladin's have Heaven's Hammer. HEAVENS HAMMER! It deals 199,999 15 times (Or as many monsters on the screen) so that's 299984. Then you can even use a pico hammer to finish them off. It's like setting up for a fatality in Mortal Kombat.
