I've been working on a marauder-Buccaneer for a while now, but I was thinking I might want to main a Crusader-Hero. I wanted to know some advantages/dissadvantages of both. From what I currently understand: Buccaneers are cooler and more fun, Buccaneers are better at fighting things one on one (specificly bosses), Heros are a little more efficient all around. Correct/add as much as possible, thx

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard somewhere that Bucc's have the lowest DPM?

Buccs have higher 1v1 dpm than heroes while in super transform, but hey; we still suck.

I've never played a Hero really, but I assume they are fun. Both have pros and cons But I'm currently getting lots of fun out of my brawler, and I'm really wanting to reach 4th job for once.

Heroes are boring in 2nd job. In the past, Rage got me into Pqs more often than my aran. 1H with Att shield is pretty expensive, unless you can afford an 18+ attack shield. Combo looks cool, and I would use Shout to screen shake my friends. :D Heroes are superior to buccs in dpm. Though i have no experience as a Brawler/Marauder/Buccaneer, soo.... yeah. I go for Heroes. :P

[/quote] Sorry, was talking about KMS. I could go in depth, but I digress. Buccs: Buff Mules Lowest DPM besides Mages Buff Mules Only good at 1 boss, a boss that can be beaten with the same efficiency as 3 other classes. Heroes: Good Attackers Not a Buff Mule Wanted in parties Might get repetitive, but it's alright I'm so tired, I can't go more in depth.

I love this class so far. Heros have massive hp so they are great for most bosses. I'm not very informed on the whole DPM thing or how strong they are. I just made one because many people have told me about they are a great class and I never finished my first fighter. I wouldn't restart since you're already 7x.

I'd could give a crap about being a buff mule. The thing about the Infighter class that gained my attention were its skills not its damage output. If I'm gonna be invited to a PB run to SI and pin with my Barrage/CSB then I'm down with that, as long as I'm needed I'll always know that I played a vital role in any boss run. 2.Apparently level does tell experience values. If I was that much of a dmg monger then I'm pretty sure I would've gotten my funds and made a sin a long time ago. If thats not enough I'd be able and willing to post an SS of my CB's 140 base DEX.

You should disregard relatively everything in this thread. Look; each class is diverse and requires play-time to actually grasp before deciding whether or not you enjoy it. You can't judge a book by it's cover, and you're just asking people to illustrate these two diverse books. Do you like your Marauder? If so, it's a good bet you'll really enjoy 4th job. I saw someone suggest making a fighter, that's a great idea. Or if you know someone, you could request some in-game face time with it. Don't decide based on empirical values, decide with something more so involving active participation.
