1) Shadower We already have possibly the highest survivability in the game (outlive everyone in the dojo as proof), and we're getting buffed even further defensively in the Big Bang. Meso Guard is apparently being buffed to cancel 60% damage with max Greed. 45% of the time we take no damage (Shadow Shifter) + high avoidability So we don't even get hit half of the time, and the other half we take less than half damage! Shadow Resistance gives us +10% HP and 20% elemental resistance (a lot of magic attacks doing even LESS damage!) It looks like Shield Mastery has been reworked to actually be useful, doubling our physical and magic defense which seems to cut damage by a lot as well Dark Flare constantly heals us while we're in it's range, I believe... like a deployable, damage-reflecting Cleric Still got our invincibility frames with Boomerang Step, and it seems the delay between attacks was reduced as well! Reduced cooldown on Smokescreen means a party of 6 coordinated Shadowers can maintain infinite god mode... GG! My class is specifically designed to not die. Ever.

It is very obvious that the Paladins are gonna own the crap out of all the other classes when it comes to survivability in boss runs but what about the DKs and DrKs? I haven't heard much of them here wouldn't they be in at least the top three or something?

[quote] GunDelHel : The picture is from before potential equips. You can tell as they don't have frames around them. They get 1.5 avoid per point of dex. If it makes you feel any better, have two more pictures. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/8382/mrpurplefist.png http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4882/lv56.png [/quote] As awesome as that much avoid is, are you actually going to bring a bucc like that onto ANY major boss run? Most buccs are low dex or dexless, and some are normal dex, but I honestly don't think a 120+ bucc will be doing good damage AND have avoid like that.

[quote] Zoe93 : I'm surprised much hasn't been said about NightLords, I 'avoid' so many hits at places like zakum etc. And we're talking about after the big bang, in which case brining NLs shadow shifter from 30% to 40%. After all... This thread was created asking the best survival rates... Not which class can take the most damage. In our case... we go 5-50 'hits' without taking any damage. ^_^ [/quote] You know Shadowers have Shadow Shifter too.
