I would like to know, which one is easiest to level from 30-70, and 70-120 Which one is most rewarding lvl 70 and onwards. Which one can solo bosses like HH,Pap,BF earlier, easier and faster. Thank you in advance!

DK, in the long run you'll find out they can do more bossing, and us CB's are getting crowded , i dont wanted dagger scrolls going for 1m to 4m. so DK.

Dk are better for bossing and survival, I guess. Chief bandits are getting crowded.... And 110-120 is hell(For me)

Ok i played my friends Shadower before and im making a DrK right now.(currently a Spearman) Chief Bandit~ Mesos Guard 2x your hp and with Hyper Body 4x. So if your base hp is 6k then you would be able to kill BF since it does 12k*1/2=6k(MesoGaurd and with Hyper Body uou will have 12k so you really only need 4k+ to tank the hits from Bigfoot. Assassinate is fun to see high damage with Critical. Boomerang Step can really save you since it gives you invincibility frame. And so does Smokescreen(even at lvl 1). Also when you will be unique for both since its a class that isnt played very much.Plus the balance patch will really boost your damage up. Dark Knight~ Hyper Body one of the most wanted skills. So you can get into bosses easier like Zakum, Horntail, Pap etc. With Dragon Roar it can hit 15 monsters that like a mini Genesis. Crusher IMO looks really nice. Spears are one of the most nice looking weapons. They are easy to level 30~70 with mob skills from 1st job. Berserk is expensive but it gives you critical and its 100% on, but it doesnt show as Critical damage like other ones like Sharp Eyes. DKs can go to Wolf Spiders instead of Windraiders so its easier to find a channel. I say that you should watch the videos of classes and see if that video can sway you to make that class.(Job)

At the big above post, I am a DK with 5k base hp, and max HB. Yet my HP only goes to 8k, so im thinking your math is abit off. Anyways, Overall id say DK. Dk is boring till about 75, when you start to max spear crusher, As a DK thats funded I have trained at himes from 80 (im lvl 84) and in half an hour at himes on x2 i get 60%, 60% a day for training 30 minutes seems pretty good to me. CB can meso Explode gobies but that takes good skill at lvl 70, and wastes mesos mad, but its still fast. I have had a 86 CB its hella fun... But if you want a bosser, Go DK. DK power.

As for now it doesn't pay off to play a CB unless your'e going for "blow up your money" power levling method,since theyr'e very weak compared to different classes like DKs. I'd make a DK and wait for the updates to hit GMS for makiing a cb.

Cb explode their money. That's bad. Dks can boss that's good. Cbs have hp issues that's bad, Dks have a hp skill, that's good. Cbs are weak for a long time, Dks are strong for a long time.

@Ken, I'm pretty sure Shads are slightly better with survivability. We have a ridiculously high avoid, and when you toss in Smokescreen AND Meso Guard, we can almost never take a 1-hit KO. While HB does give a sizeable HP bonus, the proximity to the monsters while hunting and the lack of evasiveness don't do much for Dark survivability.

Ok, i think i am going to go with DK! Now, i do not want to go Hybrid because i absolutely despise Aran! If i go full spear, will it affect me in the long run? And should i ask this in the warrior forum now?

Then Meso Guard solves most survivability issues because it basically translates to 200% Max HP. CB only have a tough time in 2nd job with no mobbing skills, afterwards they begin to kick a lot of ass. @above: your training speed will be a bit slower in 2nd job (Slash:Stab ratio) and Much slower in 3rd job. On top of that you gain litterally nothing from being a Pure DK. Just go Hybrid.

DKs are easier to train since they have better mobbing skill damage but
