So, me and my friend bluquar (bluPirate) 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. We posted our rankings differently so the reason this is two threads (one each from us) is because everything ends up in a different rank. So this is from my point of view: I added up the points in kind of a Mario Kart Grand Prix style of points The reason i did not include 9th-13th was because they did not matter in 2 categories, and in the other 3 you would hardly know a difference because they are so bad. Here is Bluqaur's version: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1384684/0/Class_Comparison__bluqaurs_version.html# DPM CHARTS VS 1 MONSTER: 1: Corsair 8 2: Aran 7 3: Night Lord 6 4: Bowmaster 5 5: Marksman: 4 6: Hero 3 7: Dark Knight 2 8: Buccaneer 1 9: Shadower 0 10: Paladin 0 11: Fire/Poison 0 12: Ice Lightning 0 13: Bishop 0 VS 3 MONSTERS: 1: Aran 8+7 15 2: Hero 7+3 10 3: Dark Knight (Although because Darks can reach 3 monster at a time a lot more easier, its debatable that it could be #2) since heroes have 112 and darks have 110 6+2 8 4: Shadower 5+0 5 5: Marksman 4+4 8 6: Buccaneer 3+1 4 7: Corsair 2+8 10 8: Paladin 1+0 1 9: Fire/Poison 0+0 0 10: Ice/Lightning 0+0 0 11: Bishop 0+0 0 12: Bowmaster 0+5 5 13: Night Lord 0+6 6 VS 6: 1: Aran 8+15 23 2: Dark Knight 7+8 15 3: Corsair (but just next to dark knight) 6+10 16 4: Marksmen 5+8 13 5: Buccaneers 4+3 8 6: Paladin 3+1 4 7: Heroes 2+10 12 8: Shadowers 1+5 6 9: Fire/Poison 0+0 0 10: Ice/Lightning 0+0 0 11: Bishop 0+0 0 12: Bowmaster 0+5 5 13: Night Lords 0+6 6 VS 7+ 1: Fire Poison 8+0 8 2: Ice Lightning 7+0 7 3: Bishops 4: Arans 5+23 28 5. Dark Knights 4+15 19 6: Corsairs 3+16 19 7: Buccaneers 2+8 10 8: Paladins 1+4 5 Tie for 9th due to lack of hitting more than 6: Shadowers, Heroes, Marksmen, Night Lords, Bowmasters 9: Shadowers: 0+ 6 6 10: Heroes: 0+12 12 11: Marksmen: 0+13 13 12: Night Lords: 0+6 6 13: Bowmasters: 0+5 5 OVERALL: 1.

Buccaneers: 10 7: Fire/Poisons: 8 8: Ice/Lightnings: 7 9: Bishops/Night Lords/Shadowers: 6 12: Bowmasters/Paladins: 5 Then at that moment, I realized that killing isnt the only factor, it's also movement skills that assist you in your training that helps you move from one monster to the next. Movement: 1. Night Lords 8 2. Corsairs 7 4. Fire/Poison 5 4. Ice/Lightning5 4. Bishop 5 6. Aran 3 7. Shadower 2 8. Buccaneer 1 9. Bowmaster 0 10. Marksmen 0 11. Hero 0 12. Paladin 0 13.

Considering that Paladins have, arguably, the best 6-mob move in the game, coupled with the most damage percentile-wise that is spammable 1v1 attack, I could totally see how Paladins rank 6th/10th respectively, not including that heaven's hammer is the most efficient 7+ monster attack in the game.

[/quote] I agree with heaven's hammer. It's 5th for 7-15 monsters on my thread. (not the MOST efficient... mage ultimates are better) Edit: but no, they don't have the highest percentage 1v1 attack.

And that's note the ONLY difference, shadowers also have assaulter. If it weren't for assaulter, shadowers would be much lower than 6th on my list (which incidentally isn't that low).

shads are fastest levelers behind mages....how are they not better agianst 1 and 3 targets..... your also an idiot, i mean it offensivly how in hell is an Aran better than a Sair/NL/Shadower/BM/anything eccept mages on 1-3 targets.....their only really good on 5+ when they get combos faster and frequently OTHERWISE their useless bad damagers more than half these comparisons are wrong, how are F/p and i/L better? bishop on skeleies have elemental advantage... and you also seem to really not take shadowers into account, right character controll their better than EVERY other class eccept mages
