Well after 3 months of searching for a class that I love and enjoy and that class is the Dawn Warrior. I love the Dawn Warrior it is amazing, so fun and unique!
Good list, I would agree on a few of those. Also loved the 2 added magicians, strongly agree on that part, and personally I would recommend both I/L and Luminous to anyone, really. but that's just opinions :) As for Mechanic, you said they have amazing mobility? They actually have one of the worst mobilities in the game, at least according to me, it does not hold up. *But* it's still an amazing class, try one out!
+cappew22 Thanks man :) I'm glad you agree with parts of my list and share the same opinions :) I say Mechs have great mobility because no they're not fast but they are mobile thanks to their: Flash jump/slide, their teleporting portals that they can set up, and their up-jump skill!
I would recommend a Xenon for a new player, 'cause we get A LOT of ALL stats bonus in items that most classes don't use, and they can take 100% advantage of the star force system who gives pretty much all stats for the items( I have a funded NW and I do have 3k of DEX/STR/INT), the xenon can get a solid DMG/range just with regular items.
+Ivann Souza This is true :) However they're just not a class that I'd personally recommend :( But what you say is true ofcourse :) Thanks for sharing!
I main Lumi, was suprised its not on the list! Yes, they're squishier and can be tougher to play, but if you do it right I by far think they're the best class. Absolutely insane mobbing skills aswell as great at bossing. Only thing Lumi lacks a little are some active buffs. None the less awesome vid!
I also put Transform and Limit Break as my top 2. As a Zero main I was in tears when I saw that beautiful skill and after reading it's description oh yes. Transforms back with a Spirt Bomb so it almost won first but my love for Zero is too strong. Phantoms are a nearby third just watching the trailer looks at all those cards was just damn he's going ham + the card draw after is interesting especially if you pull a Joker. Paladin pulls 4th place that Holy Unity can be broken AF, "You get invincibility you get invincibility you all get invincibility!!" Xenon's just is a BF Lazers also I've seen someone hit the new cap on it. (10bil)
i would recommend 1. aran 2. thunder breaker/striker 3. buccaneer/brawler 4. cannoneer 5. bowmaster/hunter you might notice i like pirates, warriors and archers... not much of a thief or mage player
Hayato for the win!! I love the class even if it does have low dps, but for me the fun aspect is way more important and it makes the game a little harder :) Once you learn how to play Hayato and everything you can still do alot of the game even without funding it just takes a little bit longer to do so :P I highly recommend anyone the class if they want to have fun playing.
+Dane Schmidt Couldn't have said it better myself :) Good on you for sticking through the low numbers and playing the class for its awesome fun aspect it delivers !
Demon avenger are very well done and good for mains because they are decently mobile the art of their moves are prestine and the fact that it focuses health is really useful for new people plus once you get to fourth job I believe you get the skill where once you have ahieved the extended combo mode that makes most moves pink instead of blue you can just use the skill to reset it and get all your hp back it's insanely good.
+ThePhotonicGamer They can duplicate a mob and/or boss into 2 to deal twice the damage for a period of time! :D Their main bossing skill also attacks 3-4 mobs (don't rmbr which amount is correct), and they have a bind! :) 3 good thoughts for you ~
***** Extremely unique class, DRAGON based, has a badass transformation at 3rd/4th job, amazing DPS when funded, actually very fun class, warrior, cool lore, and it's one of my favourite classes in the game.
So the bgm of the video brought me back so much memories and feels all of a sudden... Was it the moon bunny quest.. Idk. Seriously considering playing again... Sigh
+Iris Haha yea it's the BGM for Henesys PQ but also the BGM for Korean Folk Town which is where the BGM is actually from! Haha :) Come back to Maple :) It misses you ~
How is zero not on this list? Zero is so fun and easy to fund. And no wild hunter? They're the best bossing class in the game! And I would like to point out that a fire poison mage is way better than the ice lightning. They're better bossing.
Could you please explain why phantom wasn't on the list? I've already mained it, after I got bored of my first main, so I'd just like to know of its drawbacks.
+Shagged Yolo There's a very simple answer to that. At the end of the day, this list is opinion based and reflects my personal opinions although from an educated stand point. I just feel that I'd presonally recommend Dual Blades over Phantoms, not necessarily because I think Phantoms are a bad class or have a lot of drawbacks but just because I feel people would enjoy playing and maining a Dual Blade more than a phantom.
Forrest Chan I don't hate bowmaster I just liked the old bowmaster better. And Wind Archers are my favourite archer in the game that's why I play them :)
Forrest Chan Wow so lucky lol, I haven't gotten a single dex dark totem on my WA yet. Only got a Dark STR one QQ But sorry I won't be moving servers :(
How is the survivability of Bowmasters? I know they're very squishy, but do they have a drain skill of some sort to keep them alive at boss runs? I was thinking of maining them, but then I decided to go with the I/L Arch Mage because their survivability is a bit better.
+Salman Syed +Salman Syed Their skills can really be useful for boss fights: -they have a buff that increases your att by 40% at the price of your defense. - they have a high rate of critical hits, combine this with Hurricane and Arrow platter: any boss will fall under their arrows. They're pretty good in attack but you have to find a way to compensate with their defence and HP if you really want to fight a boss on hard difficulty.
Well, you tried. I agree that Ice/Lightning magicians are pretty nifty - in fact my first Maplestory character ever was an Ice-Lightning. Luminous is pretty strong too. Fire/Poison is getting nerfed and Bishops are hardly worth using due to their lack of good attack skills. Blaze Wizard is really awesome, though - it can hit in four directions with just the first job's attack and I saw a video where one solo'd Normal Lotus and only died four times in the final phase. I like Battle Mages, but sadly their close-combat style makes them hard to boss - I struggled against the story Lotus! :(
+Christian Groff Haha you must looveee mages because it seemed to be the only type you had comments about (which is more than fine) :) I love BaM's and BW's too, but I wouldn't suggest them because neither feel super mage-like to me :( Both great classes but just yea :(
Hi I am just wondering,what do you think of zero? I am playing in Maple Sea btw have been taking a break for 2 years my main used to be lumi.Do you think I should change?
+dapurbreaker Zero's are fun. Change if you're tired of luminous and want something new. I have a video talking a bit about zero's. If you're interested, look up "MapleStory Zero Redemption" it should pop up.
im coming back after a few month out because of the reboot, im having trubels deciding which main to get, im thinking 1.lumi 2.dark knight 3.fire poision mage(did they really got nurfed?) any advice? oh im not funded at all, starting from zero sorry for bad english :)
How about Blaze Wizards? I've created one recently (right now he is lvl. 72). My first and current main is a F/P mage, level 102 (yeah, pretty new to the game ^^). Should I main the Blaze I have? (I've watched half of the video, if he mentioned blazes already then I am a big dumb-dumb ;^_^)
Does dual blade require good funding to do good dmg? If yes then how much? Are they good at bossing and do YOU recommend me to play it? I am an begginer and only have about 30mil mesos. Are dual blade still strong with little to no funding?
good funding is probably about ~500m. considering buying your mastery books will probably be about 40-45m already, and a whole thief fafnir set can cost anywhere between 100-400m if you choose not to boss.
I'm planning on coming back from retirement to MS on the summer. Still 50/50 about it, but how much are the prices on decent gear now a days ? I don't want to go back and waste money on overpriced virtual items lmao..
+AJ Z. Prices vary from server to server, and on top of that I can't really give the best appraisal atm since things in the market are changing quite a bit as of late. You don't need to spend or "waste" money on the game to play it or enjoy it though.
+Amir Tutt You would be most likely much stronger if you did so it's up to you! If you enjoy your mm then feel free to continue on as a marksman though! :) Good luck!
+CasualGaming Hayato is not playable for a limited time, as a matter of fact, the *ONLY* class MapleStory ever released (that can be actually created by players) that was playable for a limited time only was the Pink Bean class. However, Hayato's can only be *created* during specific events which come around often enough. With that being said, there should be no problem maining a Hayato :)
+william jester Cannoneer has pretty decent damage, good mobility, and alright surviveability. He has amazing mobbing since his skills are very AOE-ish and with his damage he does good for bossing. Pretty viable in my book
I played luminous as well. boring. and pretty underpowered compared to other classes. with my master 30 books my chain did 420% with 38k in Stat menu. A friend made an angelic buster and was hitting a million and averaging 400k crits.
+RayAzul7 The answer to that varies from server to server so it's near impossible to get a vid like that up unless someone is extremely familiar with every single server or at least knows someone very experienced in each server :(
+DanceNinja My personal opinion is yes. I made DB my main, and hes not let me down ever since. Shadowers do more damage theoretically, but realistically DB does more damage and do more lines if you have the right gear and stuff. The main issue with DB would probably be his surviveability. He has the highest dodge chance in game ( 90% ) and he has an amazing life steal (10% chance to steal 20% of your max HP, sounds weak but when you do around 12 hits a second you're bound to hit that 10% chance MULTIPLE times ) but when he does get that 10% and he gets hit, he gets hit pretty hard. If you have good HP pots then you should be fine.
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran hi again sorry for bothering you but my friend told me to make a Cygnus knight class got the empress's blessing and I was wondering who would be the best choice for an unfunded one (I googled it and search it up on RUclips and found nothing)
nice nice i would say start off with cygnus knights and or Demon avenger cause there [retty much starter classes for the unfunded but you choices are well thought out or some people just wont care and jut play what they like and or love
interesting list! i rarely see any of these classes around,, even though clearly they're worthwhile! i gotta disagree.....strongly......about the lack of mages though! honestly mages are always the funnest class for me....what's cooler than using magic?? personally my main is a blaze wiz >:) (even if they are SUPER squishy!)
+mirrorlapis Haha glad you found my list interesting :) I have no clue why these classes aren't played more often :S But yea haha, I did however include 2 mages at the end though! But even Blaze Wizards are a great choice :) I had a ton of fun when I was leveling mine when they were released :)
+Fiordaliza Valdera They're really fun, and they only require massive funding if you're going for super end game! They're awesome even unfunded! Mine wrecks house while using a bunch of bad equips hehe
I find mechanic questionable because its cooler to ride a jaguar and luminous questionable because you just hit reflection to fight. Id rather play kanna tbh but nice vid
+Kevin the Potato Luminous is super cool man! Haha cuz of all their different skills and the light/darkness thing they got going :) Yes reflection is their main skill by quite a bit but still they're one of my favourite mages :P Kanna after the rework is quite awesome too! And Thank you :)
+MaskerRoom To be honest, yes I do :P I don't remember reading nerfs on them though so I may have forgotten! I'll revisit the patch notes coming soon to GMS :)
nightlord is hard to play i believe it requires a lot of funding to make great damage. im not an unfunded player but i still like nightlord a lot although the damage is comparatively low.. it's a bit sad they have delay in throwing stars now..
+Ursa McCoy It's funny when it comes to DS for me, because they're my favourite (yes favourite) class in the game but I wouldn't recommend them to a new player. If you have some experience and knowledge in the game then they can make for a great and fun main but otherwise I'd go for one of the classes in the video. Demon slayers can be quite tough to fund and make powerful :(
Ursa McCoy Yes harder to fund than a Wind Archer and by quite a bit. DS' have a horrible weapon multiplier thanks to the weapon they use so it's hard to get good numbers out of them even despite the class having great secondary utility coming from their skills like extra boss dmg % and such.
+FrootLoopKoko They have portals, flash jump, & up-jump! I know they can't move while spamming their giant missile but you can spam while standing on your portal and if you're about to be hit teleport using your portal quickly and should be good enough!
I would question why F/P isn't on there as a great mage to main but with the incoming nerf to mist explosion I can understand, we are getting nerfed hard :( Also all the explorer thieves are really, really fun but shadower and night lord I think definitely take more funding than dual blades. Also dual blades are notorious for consistently being considered one of the best classes in the game.
+S S3 maplestory.nexon.net/news/5183/v-168-reboot-patch-notes here are the patch notes from when they got nerfed. Megiddo flame got buffed to compensate but it still results in less dps overall. I'm pretty sure we were still at the top of the dps charts after the update but it just put a foul taste in our mouths lol.
Couldnt have come at a better time, I have been dwelling over this for about a week after finally retiring my NL
+Pixl Bear Haha! Enjoy your new main and I hope your Night Lord may rest in peace!
You know this video came just in time when I was thinking of what main to pick today thanks!
Nice haha :P My pleasure ~
Well after 3 months of searching for a class that I love and enjoy and that class is the Dawn Warrior. I love the Dawn Warrior it is amazing, so fun and unique!
+williamisboss That's awesome :) They are definitely fun and unique! Enjoy the class friend :)
I quit Maplestory for a VERY long time... Came back and tried out Thunder Breaker. Never going to regret it
Nice choice
I did the same thing
Good list, I would agree on a few of those. Also loved the 2 added magicians, strongly agree on that part, and personally I would recommend both I/L and Luminous to anyone, really. but that's just opinions :)
As for Mechanic, you said they have amazing mobility? They actually have one of the worst mobilities in the game, at least according to me, it does not hold up. *But* it's still an amazing class, try one out!

+Ivann Souza This is true :) However they're just not a class that I'd personally recommend :( But what you say is true ofcourse :) Thanks for sharing!
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran Would you say a Xenon is better unfunded than a Wild Hunter or a Dark Knight ?
Tony Semkov I would say of the 3, WH is the best unfunded one :P
Watch out, they got a huge nerf.
Ivann Souza Lol post changes I would say Xenon is best lmao
i'll main Drk forever. loved it since the release of the 4th job.
I main Lumi, was suprised its not on the list! Yes, they're squishier and can be tougher to play, but if you do it right I by far think they're the best class. Absolutely insane mobbing skills aswell as great at bossing. Only thing Lumi lacks a little are some active buffs. None the less awesome vid!
+TehScruffyPuppy Me Lumi is in the vid
I also put Transform and Limit Break as my top 2.
As a Zero main I was in tears when I saw that beautiful skill and after reading it's description oh yes.
Transforms back with a Spirt Bomb so it almost won first but my love for Zero is too strong.
Phantoms are a nearby third just watching the trailer looks at all those cards was just damn he's going ham + the card draw after is interesting especially if you pull a Joker.
Paladin pulls 4th place that Holy Unity can be broken AF, "You get invincibility you get invincibility you all get invincibility!!"
Xenon's just is a BF Lazers also I've seen someone hit the new cap on it. (10bil)
Wrong video??
i would recommend
1. aran
2. thunder breaker/striker
3. buccaneer/brawler
4. cannoneer
5. bowmaster/hunter
you might notice i like pirates, warriors and archers... not much of a thief or mage player
Ah I am IN LOVE With the Bowmaster!!!! It's da Bomb
+williamisbossAJ Dejavu? :P
Hayato for the win!! I love the class even if it does have low dps, but for me the fun aspect is way more important and it makes the game a little harder :) Once you learn how to play Hayato and everything you can still do alot of the game even without funding it just takes a little bit longer to do so :P I highly recommend anyone the class if they want to have fun playing.

+Snope Owns Yes they use 2h swords as well! Sorry about that!
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran Oi Give me a good thought about shade plz
+ThePhotonicGamer They can duplicate a mob and/or boss into 2 to deal twice the damage for a period of time! :D Their main bossing skill also attacks 3-4 mobs (don't rmbr which amount is correct), and they have a bind! :) 3 good thoughts for you ~
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran I Mained one for a year or so since they came out best part about them. NO buffs at all just Maple Warrior
Sekhon Ranbir Lmao haha :P Yea just one buff hehe
***** Extremely unique class, DRAGON based, has a badass transformation at 3rd/4th job, amazing DPS when funded, actually very fun class, warrior, cool lore, and it's one of my favourite classes in the game.
So the bgm of the video brought me back so much memories and feels all of a sudden... Was it the moon bunny quest.. Idk. Seriously considering playing again... Sigh
+Iris Haha yea it's the BGM for Henesys PQ but also the BGM for Korean Folk Town which is where the BGM is actually from! Haha :) Come back to Maple :) It misses you ~
How is zero not on this list? Zero is so fun and easy to fund. And no wild hunter? They're the best bossing class in the game! And I would like to point out that a fire poison mage is way better than the ice lightning. They're better bossing.
Zero has a level requirement of 100 i think this also takes into account for beginners
Fairy Tail music? Instant like :D
+Brodyn Kemish Hahaha awesome! :)
Hello Sorrowful does this still apply for 2016 or your making new list for 2016
Thanks and have a good week
Could you please explain why phantom wasn't on the list? I've already mained it, after I got bored of my first main, so I'd just like to know of its drawbacks.
+Shagged Yolo There's a very simple answer to that. At the end of the day, this list is opinion based and reflects my personal opinions although from an educated stand point.

+Zain Jafri Yes both are good! However all FOUR of those classes are great options haha so you can't go wrong with any of them :)
Forrest Chan I don't hate bowmaster I just liked the old bowmaster better. And Wind Archers are my favourite archer in the game that's why I play them :)
Forrest Chan Wow so lucky lol, I haven't gotten a single dex dark totem on my WA yet. Only got a Dark STR one QQ But sorry I won't be moving servers :(
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran just started for the first time. Who would you reccomend me to play?
How is the survivability of Bowmasters? I know they're very squishy, but do they have a drain skill of some sort to keep them alive at boss runs? I was thinking of maining them, but then I decided to go with the I/L Arch Mage because their survivability is a bit better.
They have a spell that changes your type of arrow and you can absorp hp with it.
Titan78990 Does this make Bowmasters viable at doing boss runs?
+Salman Syed +Salman Syed Their skills can really be useful for boss fights:
-they have a buff that increases your att by 40% at the price of your defense.
- they have a high rate of critical hits, combine this with Hurricane and Arrow platter: any boss will fall under their arrows.
They're pretty good in attack but you have to find a way to compensate with their defence and HP if you really want to fight a boss on hard difficulty.
You should do another one of these now with the updates coming up
U forgot to mention, night lord and Xenon!!
+Hyun Bae xD
Whenever I main something it gets nerfed.
Except for Evan who got revamped. I can main him again :P
This might be karma from lol...
Well, you tried. I agree that Ice/Lightning magicians are pretty nifty - in fact my first Maplestory character ever was an Ice-Lightning. Luminous is pretty strong too. Fire/Poison is getting nerfed and Bishops are hardly worth using due to their lack of good attack skills.

Xenon beats dual blade, hands down!!
+MirZOcelot Haha :P
Is wild hunter or night walker good? I'm having trouble sticking to one character, I'm considering bowman or wind archer now
+Zain Jafri I have both classes NW 182 and WH 140 I have enjoyed NW more but I am a thief at heart but WH can be fun if you fund it
Why not recommend DS as a main??
I would recommend Kanna as the mage class
Should i go Dawn Warrior on Reboot GMS?
Hi I am just wondering,what do you think of zero? I am playing in Maple Sea btw have been taking a break for 2 years my main used to be lumi.Do you think I should change?
+dapurbreaker Zero's are fun. Change if you're tired of luminous and want something new. I have a video talking a bit about zero's. If you're interested, look up "MapleStory Zero Redemption" it should pop up.
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran Thanks dude
dapurbreaker You're welcome ~
dual blades are dank m8. nice memes nice vid
+Bob The Sailor Lmao pls
im coming back after a few month out because of the reboot, im having trubels deciding which main to get, im thinking
1.lumi
2.dark knight
3.fire poision mage(did they really got nurfed?)
any advice? oh im not funded at all, starting from zero
sorry for bad english :)
+DreadsAndBeards I'd go with the Luminous or Dark Knight. Choose whichever and I'm sure you won't regret it :)
How about Blaze Wizards? I've created one recently (right now he is lvl. 72). My first and current main is a F/P mage, level 102 (yeah, pretty new to the game ^^). Should I main the Blaze I have? (I've watched half of the video, if he mentioned blazes already then I am a big dumb-dumb ;^_^)
i am maining with mercedes kinesis aran and shade. Another one is probably kaizer. What you guys think?
Does dual blade require good funding to do good dmg? If yes then how much? Are they good at bossing and do YOU recommend me to play it? I am an begginer and only have about 30mil mesos. Are dual blade still strong with little to no funding?
good funding is probably about ~500m. considering buying your mastery books will probably be about 40-45m already, and a whole thief fafnir set can cost anywhere between 100-400m if you choose not to boss.
I was hoping mechanic to be on this list love the class and I have mine level 105
How about Shade?
Who is better Dark Knight or Dual Blade??
dark knight
how would you think about Kasier and Xenon?
I think Kaiser and Xenon are pretty difficult because you have to set up combos and maintain different forms/stances.
PhunClazz but my main is already Kasier and Xenon
i think the bests are all type of resistance and also bishop and luminous
Bow master 4 ever, love at first time years ago.
that intro... how much it sounds like Fairy Tail
im pretty sure it is
INSPIRIT?
cuz it is lol
what are your opinions on the current aran and the upcoming revamped aran?
+Chowphatty Think they're gunna be really fun and awesome haha :P Same with Evans!
I'm planning on coming back from retirement to MS on the summer. Still 50/50 about it, but how much are the prices on decent gear now a days ? I don't want to go back and waste money on overpriced virtual items lmao..
+AJ Z. Prices vary from server to server, and on top of that I can't really give the best appraisal atm since things in the market are changing quite a bit as of late. You don't need to spend or "waste" money on the game to play it or enjoy it though.
dont go back. if you're a pre 2010 player, dont expect the same experience we all loved
I enjoy Battle Mage class which is also my main!
+Karl McBride Yea they're pretty sweet :)
+Solidwater Slayer I guess we just have completely different opinions :( Which is more than fine! Makes us unique :)
Hey sorrowful i am currently a marksman and i have decent funding. Would you recommend for me to switch to bowmaster?
+Amir Tutt You would be most likely much stronger if you did so it's up to you! If you enjoy your mm then feel free to continue on as a marksman though! :) Good luck!
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran I probably would but i dont know anyone with a good bow or secondary :(
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran thanks for the advice though! :)
+Amir Tutt Aw :( You're welcome!
What about phantoms? :( i just created one thinking that they have nice DPS
+Drakensis No worries :) Phantoms are great in pretty much all aspects so I'm sure you'll have no regrets :)
how do u know hayato is getting fj? where can i see the notes :o, cuz it dont say anything about hayato and kanna on orangemushroom
+HiretsuTeki GMS Look at the JMS Posts! You can google it :) Hayato is a JMS "Exclusive" char so we will be getting their buffs !
I've been a night Lord my whole life, but because of this video, I'ma make a mechanic
Is maining a hayato on reboot a bad idea?
How are you suppose to main hayato if the class is only playable for a limited time?
+CasualGaming Hayato is not playable for a limited time, as a matter of fact, the *ONLY* class MapleStory ever released (that can be actually created by players) that was playable for a limited time only was the Pink Bean class. However, Hayato's can only be *created* during specific events which come around often enough. With that being said, there should be no problem maining a Hayato :)
What about kaiser? It is fun unfunded and is pretty fun to use.
What do you think of maining a Cannoneer?
+william jester Cannoneer has pretty decent damage, good mobility, and alright surviveability. He has amazing mobbing since his skills are very AOE-ish and with his damage he does good for bossing. Pretty viable in my book
Bowmaster Is the BOMB
+Sekhon Ranbir the ARROW BOMB!
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran 10/10 pun
i tried a luminous and it's so boring i tried an evan and it's damn weak. But i see evan is having a revamp sometime so ill wait for that.
Haha yeah Evan is the weakest class in game
+Aaron S Really? I thought beginner was.
I played luminous as well. boring. and pretty underpowered compared to other classes. with my master 30 books my chain did 420% with 38k in Stat menu. A friend made an angelic buster and was hitting a million and averaging 400k crits.
I love the old school bucc before they change the skill :( but I prefer buccaneer and shadower
i wish there was a Top 5 alliances/guilds to join in maplestory if you're coming back from a long pause
+RayAzul7 The answer to that varies from server to server so it's near impossible to get a vid like that up unless someone is extremely familiar with every single server or at least knows someone very experienced in each server :(
i understand. T-T still a pain that's very hard to ease.
Vid was amazing btw~ first one i can 100% agree on. keep up the great work
RayAzul7 Yea :( And thank you very much kind sir ~ I appreciate it! :)
Should I switch from Shadower to Dual Blade??
+DanceNinja My personal opinion is yes. I made DB my main, and hes not let me down ever since. Shadowers do more damage theoretically, but realistically DB does more damage and do more lines if you have the right gear and stuff. The main issue with DB would probably be his surviveability. He has the highest dodge chance in game ( 90% ) and he has an amazing life steal (10% chance to steal 20% of your max HP, sounds weak but when you do around 12 hits a second you're bound to hit that 10% chance MULTIPLE times ) but when he does get that 10% and he gets hit, he gets hit pretty hard. If you have good HP pots then you should be fine.
did I mention that these classes are fun?
dual blade, kaiser or demon slayer?
Wind Archer for the Win !
+williamisbossAJ Haha :P
is it still possible to become a dual blade class? I thought it was special events only
+garra51 No it's not a special event class :) Dual blades are avaialable for creation at all times!
What do you mean by funded?
I'm very new to maplestory, what do people mean by funding? Like irl money or mesos?
+David Hoang I have a new video on that which I made only 3 weeks ago. Here's a link to it: ruclips.net/video/D0-XlM8OLhU/видео.html
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran thx man!
David Hoang No problem ~
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran hi again sorry for bothering you but my friend told me to make a Cygnus knight class got the empress's blessing and I was wondering who would be the best choice for an unfunded one (I googled it and search it up on RUclips and found nothing)
David Hoang Well... Dawn Warrior is a cygnus knight class and is literally in this video of mine.. Sooooooo ... I would say Dawn Warrior :/
why not battlemage? it's so awesome!
nice nice i would say start off with cygnus knights and or Demon avenger cause there [retty much starter classes for the unfunded but you choices are well thought out or some people just wont care and jut play what they like and or love
+Damine Pagan Hehe :P Yea some will do as they wish which is no problem :) Thanks for sharing your opinions!
interesting list! i rarely see any of these classes around,, even though clearly they're worthwhile! i gotta disagree.....strongly......about the lack of mages though! honestly mages are always the funnest class for me....what's cooler than using magic?? personally my main is a blaze wiz >:) (even if they are SUPER squishy!)
+mirrorlapis Haha glad you found my list interesting :) I have no clue why these classes aren't played more often :S But yea haha, I did however include 2 mages at the end though! But even Blaze Wizards are a great choice :) I had a ton of fun when I was leveling mine when they were released :)
the mechanic reminds me of bastion
battle mages are awesome to main!
What do you mean by funding ?
Funding means mesos and godly items. Meaning that you are rich in the game and have the ability to buy items that boost your damage output.
Ohh i see makes sense now thanks !
quick question why dual blades? they need massive funding
+Fiordaliza Valdera They're really fun, and they only require massive funding if you're going for super end game! They're awesome even unfunded! Mine wrecks house while using a bunch of bad equips hehe
+Fiordaliza Valdera ''they need massive funding''
Less than most other classes if you're going for cap. :S
+FrootLoopKoko oh well sorry for my ignorance
I main a mercedes. Are they heading for a nerf?
I don't think they are.
i hope not hit 182 tonight and got passed 200k buffed so im going i am going
***** Wooo keep it going ~
No phantom?
+Toothydeer I thought about them (as I did with every other class) and the answer is no :(
Haha, I thought phantom was going to be on here. I think there really great, I don't see much on El Nido.
Toothydeer Yea they are a super cool class, but not in the top 5 I'd recommend :P I don't see too many anywhere anymore which is surprising :P
I find mechanic questionable because its cooler to ride a jaguar and luminous questionable because you just hit reflection to fight. Id rather play kanna tbh but nice vid
+Kevin the Potato Luminous is super cool man! Haha cuz of all their different skills and the light/darkness thing they got going :) Yes reflection is their main skill by quite a bit but still they're one of my favourite mages :P Kanna after the rework is quite awesome too! And Thank you :)
well it was a cool concept until fourth job when no one used the dark form lol
Kevin the Potato Yea I suppose lmao :P
My GF made a Dawn Warrior to start playing and i found that they consume A LOT of mp even using Jr. Boogie :/
+Green Slime Yes haha that's their *one* drawback lmao :P RIP MANAA!
i thought mechanic is gonna get nerf, still recommend?
+MaskerRoom To be honest, yes I do :P I don't remember reading nerfs on them though so I may have forgotten! I'll revisit the patch notes coming soon to GMS :)
people don't play DW cause they have really low damage ratios so yeah but they get tons of lines
It's a shame :(
Isn't mech getting nerfed soon? Why is it on the top 5 recommended?
+Andrew Chen Yes they are getting nerfed I forgot they were but I'd still recommend em to be honest :P
love your videos
+Dani Zazon Thanks man :')
No Wild Hunter?
what does it mean when they're funded?
+Alex Alonso I have a video on what being funded means, ruclips.net/video/D0-XlM8OLhU/видео.html
o ok thanks!!!
Aw man I wish they would put hays to class on pocket or bow master
nightlord is hard to play i believe it requires a lot of funding to make great damage. im not an unfunded player but i still like nightlord a lot although the damage is comparatively low.. it's a bit sad they have delay in throwing stars now..
Personally id go for battlemage
What's the music from the intro ?
Natan Cunha its in of th main soundtracks from fairytail which is an anime, i think it has the word dragon in its title
You recommend maining a Demon Slayer?
+Ursa McCoy It's funny when it comes to DS for me, because they're my favourite (yes favourite) class in the game but I wouldn't recommend them to a new player. If you have some experience and knowledge in the game then they can make for a great and fun main but otherwise I'd go for one of the classes in the video. Demon slayers can be quite tough to fund and make powerful :(
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran Harder to fund than a Wind Archer?
If not, how hard?
Ursa McCoy Yes harder to fund than a Wind Archer and by quite a bit. DS' have a horrible weapon multiplier thanks to the weapon they use so it's hard to get good numbers out of them even despite the class having great secondary utility coming from their skills like extra boss dmg % and such.
SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran
Damn bro, thanks for the reply!!
Ursa McCoy You're welcome :)
I main zero, but im going to switch to kaiser after nerfs >.>
+iJayMS GG, gunna switch to Kaiser and gunna switch to Hayato simultaneously! idk how you do it but GG! haha
half gear on kaiser half gear on hayato, it only takes like 7 items for me to be 2-2
iJayMS Lmaoooo #killem
Do you like Kanna?
+Fiiiyahh No I do not :P
Hey sorrow is the db better or xenon ?
+Ali Azizi They're both great classes :) In terms of absolute end game, Xenon is better :P
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran How is Xenon better? o-o Lower dps, no lifesteal.. the only thing they have is range. But no dark sight.. o:
+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran hey sorrow what should I main mm or xenon ?
Ali Azizi Xenon :)
No luminous xenon or Kaiser?
+Khaibar Omar Luminous is in the video :P But no, no kaiser or xenon :P
My main is a Phantom. Don't wanna play any other classes.
Mech isn't very mobile while bossing though! :P
+FrootLoopKoko They have portals, flash jump, & up-jump! I know they can't move while spamming their giant missile but you can spam while standing on your portal and if you're about to be hit teleport using your portal quickly and should be good enough!
No wind archer?
+Diego Arevalo Not in my top 5 most recommended :(
thank you for posting thid
+RosaryLove You're welcome ~
How is hayato weak??
Is hayato buffered yet?
+yeena kee its been buffed for a while now
Thanks I was confused
+CasualGaming You're very welcome :)
I would question why F/P isn't on there as a great mage to main but with the incoming nerf to mist explosion I can understand, we are getting nerfed hard :( Also all the explorer thieves are really, really fun but shadower and night lord I think definitely take more funding than dual blades. Also dual blades are notorious for consistently being considered one of the best classes in the game.
+Jake Thompson
Can you post the link on the complete list of skill changes for the F/P?
I think the main one that mattered is that myst explosion hyper skill no longer reduces cooldown by 100% (50% now).
+nichidoushiro yeah that's basically the only one that really mattered. It messed up our rotation and lowered our dps as a result.
+S S3 maplestory.nexon.net/news/5183/v-168-reboot-patch-notes here are the patch notes from when they got nerfed. Megiddo flame got buffed to compensate but it still results in less dps overall. I'm pretty sure we were still at the top of the dps charts after the update but it just put a foul taste in our mouths lol.
