So, my friend Tailz2k6 (UltraPolearm) and I were wondering which class in MapleStory is the strongest overall, so we ranked the classes from best to worst in different situations (1 monster, 3 monsters, 6 monsters, 7+ monsters, and movement skills) and assigned points based on the rankings. Tailz2k6's rankings are here: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1384685/0/Class_Comparison__Ultras_Version.html# However, Tailz and I had different opinions on how the points should be distributed. After a heated debate on Skype, we decided to post our conclusions on Basil. this is how mine looks: Against one monster 1: Corsair 13 2: Aran 12 3: Night Lord 11 4: Bowmaster 10 5: Marksman: 9 6: Hero 8 7: Dark Knight 7 8: Buccaneer 6 9: Shadower 5 10: Paladin 4 11: Fire/Poison 3 12: Ice Lightning 2 13: Bishop 1 Against 3 Monsters 1: Hero 13 2: Aran 12 3: Dark Knight 12 4: Shadower 11 5: Marksman 10 6: Buccaneer 8 7: Corsair 7 8: Paladin 6 9: Fire/Poison 4 10: Ice/Lightning 4 11: Bishop 2 12: Bowmaster 1 13: Night Lord 1 Against 6 monsters: 1: Aran 13 2: Dark Knight 11 3: Corsair 11 4: Marksman 10 5: Buccaneers 9 6: Paladin 8 7: Heroes 7 8: Shadowers 6 9: Fire/Poison 5 10: Ice/Lightning 5 11: Bishop 4 12: Bowmaster 2 13: Night Lord 1 Against 7-15 monsters: 1: Fire Poison13 1: Ice Lightning 13 3: Bishops12 4: Aran 10 5. Paladin 9 6. Dark Knights 8 7: Corsairs 7 8: Buccaneers 6 9: Marksmen: 5 10: Shadowers: 4 11: Heroes: 3 12: Bowmasters: 2 13: Night Lords: 1 Movement 1. Night Lords 13 2. Corsairs 12 4. Fire/Poison 10 4. Ice/Lightning 10 4. Bishop 10 6. Shadower 9 7. Aran 8 8. Buccaneer 5 9. Hero 2 10. Paladin 2 11. Dark Knight 2 12. Bowmaster 1 13. Marksman 1 OVERALL 1. Aran 55 2. Corsairs 50 3. Dark Knight 40 4. Shadower 35 4. Marksmen 35 6. Fire/Poison 35 6. Buccaneer 34 8. Ice/Lightning 34 9. Hero 33 10. Bishop 29 11. Paladin 29 12. Night Lords 27 13. Bowmaster 16 Tailz2k6's rankings are here: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1384685/0/Class_Comparison__Ultras_Version.html# Again, this is a comparison between classes in training and bossing situations intertwined. Admittedly, I think 1v1 damage should be weighted 2x or 3x. Also, I thought we should include party buffs as one of the factors but Tailz talked me out of it. Bowmaster came out PAINFULLY on bottom because of its lack of good mobbing and of good movement skills. If we had party buffs it would have been a more decent score, and I respect that its prowess in bossing is important. Anyway, Discuss! EDIT: Lawl, looks like mine wins. Tailz's post got locked!

Where's the system of allocation? What do you base it on other than # of enemies? What do the numbers represent? A score means nothing without some sort of units.....

You also have to take into account a monster's hp. Sure corsair makes a ton of dpm, but if a monster dies from 100k damage, a mage will ks him all day if he wanted to. edit:: and BM lack of good mobbing? I know a 14x bm who can do 25k+ arrow bomb and about 19-20k rain.

You're frightening me. Marksmen below bowmasters when they're beside each other* At least put them on par. They're both really the same.
