Neo city expansion, a blessing to Arans, BM's, and MM's?

The mobs in Destroyed city (Newest Neo city addition) are major HP hoars. They give at most 11k exp per kill and take a while to kill off IF you don't have a 1-hit KO skill. Arans in the 4th job at level 150+ can benifit the most from these mobs to be honest. Since they are not bosses, they can make up a 200 combo in no time since the Imperial guards have loads of hp. While Tempest is executed, many of the mobs on the map may freeze and can be killed by a simple bonk on the noggin. Thus, an aran can absorb like 600k exp from all the mobs on the map if they were on 4x. I also heard that shadowers with maxed assassinate can handle these mobs pretty well as well. Bowmasters & Marksmen are also blessed with a boss they can solo while no one else really cant! The royal guard, although has around 200mil exp, 2k defence and REALLY HIGH attack and avoid, can be killed off by MM's and BM's in about an hour if they don't screw up with puppet. Just place the puppet under the top platform where the Royal spawns after it's auto-agro'd by you and shoot away. The best way to auto agro the boss is to climb 3/4 up the rope, so the boss sees you but doesnt attack, or launches a Nuke and misses since your below the platform. Royal guard gives about 15.5mil exp on 1x. I'm not sure what it's second form is like, but if you do it right, you can kill it in an hour. Plus as said by a GM on the official forums, it has a chance to drop something super cool.

Haven't been to the new places in Neo City, but from what I've heard, the EXP there is just amazing for Arans. They are also affected by Snow Charge which makes it even better!

BTW you forgot paladins with heaven's hammer. On max lvl it has a few seconds cooldown and they can just mob and use hammer and repeat. It should be a great exp for them :D

[quote] FrozenAR : still would take kinda long because max dmg it does is like 400k? [/quote] There is no max damage on monsters using Tempest. Tempest simply freezes 15 monsters around you and treats them as if they have 1 HP. The moment you hit them, they will automatically die. They take the amount of damage of how much HP they have whether it be 85,000 or 500,000, as long as it is a monster, it will die.

Wow. Yet again, Arans who are supposed to be the slowest-leveling class, are given one of the most amazing 4th Job training spots in addition to their already fast training throughout the first 120 levels. Good going, Nexon, for inadvertantly buffing one of the already-top-tier classes. :/ I'm glad to hear Bowmen are getting a break though, it's nice to know some of their unique traits (like high Acc) are finally being put to good use. I wonder if higher-Dex Warriors with accuracy equips are also able to make any use of the Royal Guard for training?

Heaven's Hammer sounds really good there. Bonk 15 monsters to 1HP, then by the time you've killed them and more have spawned, your HH cooldown is close to gone. Sounds brilliant.
