I've heard lots of people talk about how amazing Arans are. How well do they boss? What's their DP(M/S) compared to other classes?

They are one of the better damage dealers, but not the best.

From my understanding, they have the highest theoretical damage with SE added in, but they aren't good at bossing for many reasons: -Low hp -Their attacks push them forward -Combos get interrupted very frequently They seem like a godly training class that can also boss somewhat well, rather than the other way around.

@gino aran attacks don't move them forward if it's a stationary boss (Zakum, painus, etc) but on everything else it does move them forward.

Why does everyone say they have such low hp, it's not as much as other melee classes, but it's enough.

On my aran, every time I use double/triple swing I move a bit forward. It's incredibly annoying. Is there a way to make it so it doesn't happen?

[/quote] Yes, he is sure. Aran's swings only move them forward on mobile bosses. There is no forward movement on stationary bosses like zak.

If you get 100 combo and there are 12 monsters in front of you, obviously aran is the best DPM dealer because it is the only class that can hit that many monsters at once. This isn't very common though, so I'd have to say aran is not the overall best DPM dealer.

They are comparable to heros in the sense that SE is added. About the low HP issue that everybody solely bases their thoughts, I have been into numerous scarlion and zakum runs where my hp wasn't a problem. In most cases, you will have a drk for hb and even if you don't, it's very easy to avoid body hits in zakum. I have always sustained over 300 combos in both boss scenarios with ease. With the mobs in zakum, it makes it even easier to sustain combos with body pressure and with maxed freeze standing, I have no problem. Then again, it's all experience and getting used to bossing on your Aran.

Technically speaking, if you could keep the 100 combo constantly active, you out damage every other warrior class. If you can't however, you fall behind all 3.

[quote] 0odarksideo0 : wrong, AM and Bishop hits 15 xD [/quote] Actually, due to attack speed, if that theoretical situation does arise and there are continuously 12+ monsters, the aran can still beat AMs and Bishops. Cast rate makes a difference...
