Currently, I'm level 52 and find that training is a bore =/ I want to reach 3rd job but find that I have a lack of inspiration even though I have watched some vids of high leveled Arans. So I ask you, how are Arans better than the other Warrior classes? Worse? (i.e. bossing, solo, speed, damage, flashy, etc)

Because they're the easiest classes to play. Overpowered, yes.. Hitting 9k+ at level 50 for just spamming the attack key. Again easy class to play as.

Arans are not "better" than the other Warrior classes; all of them do well in specific situations. Bossing: Arans have the highest 1v1 DPM out of the Warrior classes, even if you include their combo build up. Arans possibly get one of the highest boosts from SE, going from 1782% average damage on a full Overswing sequence (with Combo Critical and Snow Charge) to 2134% average damage, criticaling 85% of the time with +240% damage. However, Arans have a limit on the bosses they can go to because of their HP, which is low for a close combat class. The slight movement from the Full/Overswings could lead you to your death from touch damage as well. Against 2 targets, Dark Knights and Heroes rival them and they beat Arans on 3 targets, showing that they can be more useful at Zakum and possibly HT. Solo: Arans are great soloers because of their great and decent small and large mob damage respectively. Because of their mobility from Combat Step and range from polearms, they can train very effectively. Their potion burn tends to be low because of Combo Drain and Body Pressure. However, with their low HP, high hitting monsters like Skelesauruses tend to be a problem until higher levels. For damage in comparison to Dark Knights, an Aran's large mob damage is better than Crusher but weaker than Fury; their small mob damage is weaker than Crusher but better than Fury. Their large mob damage is better than a Hero's, who can only hit up to 3 targets, but Heroes overpower Arans in training at anything less than 4. Paladins are better mobbers and single hitters, but Arans do better against smaller mobs. Heroes and Paladins have the advantage of being able to Rush off the bat, while Arans have to use their combos before they can. Arans are good at controlling mobs, but are bad mobbers at 3/4-6 targets in comparison to the other Warrior classes. However, because of their ability to mob up to 12 targets, they're very good at high concentrated maps like Galloperas. Unfortunately, that kind of mob concentration is not extremely common.

I dnno bout the whole aran sucking at mobs of 2-3 being that much weaker to a hero's, with se's involved. Today I went on an arm run with a lvl 143 hero and a 129 hero, a 12x bm, 103 hermit and a bish. The lvl 143 hero's range was 100 below mine, cause of my wep of choice, and I got about 38% of the experience from the arms to myself. And I didnt use tempest, so Im not to convinced about that aspect. Most of my hits where criticals opposed to him not hitting nearly as much 'red numbers', that I believe played a huge factor in % gained / damage done.
