I'm just curious what the hardest class would be to play perfectly. To know ALL the ins and outs, and is able to maximize damage,or healing (depending on the class) to its full potential? I remember hearing that hunter was one of the hardest classes to play perfectly, and that it gets its bad name by the so many players who have no idea what they are doing. Any comments on this?

someone who dies too much at a certain opponent. I solo'd my first HH at 82 on my hermit, my first crimson balrog pair on my crusader at 71. Didnt die twice. Probably shadowers because they're so versatile. I dont think anyone truely plays them to their best abilities.

I put my money on my own class. Take a good look at us: Obviously, we're claustrophobic, we we have to maintain our distance away from our enemy. At the same time, my strongest mob skill right now is AE, and that has a limited range reaching out, so if I want to finish a large mob quickly, I need to cluster up a mob so my AE and blizzard can reach all of the monsters I want to kill. Level 1 dragon pulse is very annoying at mobs of 5+, where it actually spreads out mobs instead. I want to mob 6 at a time, so there's a little prob right? Also, using it too much might auto d/c you :p Our low HP means we gotta watch ourselves. We have to use our skills to avoid getting hit. Frostprey freezes only 4 monsters, and I have to strategically place myself so frostprey freezes the monster I need frozen. Puppet's a very strategic skill that only works if you know how to use it. I am not gonna go in-depth explaining how. I can probably write an entire guide on just this skill. I gotta be sure my snipe would hit the target. If I use it on a nest golem that has not fully transformed yet, that's a good 1HKO down the drain. If the monster is out of range (and me being on the far side of a map, making my sense of range erratic, I can waste my snipe easily also. It's almost impossible for me to jumpshoot with peirce. And I can go on and on...

DrK's and BM. DrK's because they have to maintain their zerk. BM because their unable to pot while using Hurricane.

I don't even need to play a BM to figure that out. I've seen a level 15x BM walk and hurricane at the same time, to get to the far right side of the bottom platform at newts*, to SE me. Look at pierce. I can't pot while charging pierce also. It's not a skill where just a tap would bring its full potential. Pierce is a dangerous and useless skill if your mobs are not organized.

Yeah I guess jumpshooting would be the hardest thing but it really isn't that hard. Consistent Backjump shot can be a task though." Consistent back jumpshot is almost too hard. x____x

For Shadower you need to have done quite some research before you can play it perfectly. I've been practicing for ages and still mess up lol. Chief Bandit is where it gets kind of hard because there is so much you can do with the build that it's just downright confusing. I don't know about other classes, but NL's and warriors seem simple to me in comparison, archers seem like a hard class though.

Id say the shadowers since it would take alot of practice to jump savage blow and not fall into the monster . Also this goes with assaulter since you really have to be careful with this move

Shadower, because Shadower is the supposed,"Untouchable class" and i havnt seen any GMS shadower evade 95%+ of all attacks, including me.

*Raises hand* @Above, true, there are a few but it takes alot of skill. PS: My guild is called Untouchable (Bandit guild ^^)

In terms of Difficulty, MMs and BMs are incredibly hard, and not just because of Jump-shooting. They have low hp and there are countless different builds to use. In terms of attacking ability, Buccanneers and Shaowers are easily the hardest, most of their skills cant be spammed so they use different combos, if you watcha a video of either you'll understand immediately.

NightLords are the hardest. The skill used to flashjump far surpasses any class.

ShadOwers are supposed to be a class thAt takes down multiple monsters without taking a single hit. It is tricky timing things and trying to do the mostdamage you can without taking a hit
