Asking personal feelings and opinons on these characters

Blade Master

  • Physical DPS damage dealer with super-holds
  • Can use any weapon type supposedly
  • Physical parties want them for defense shred passive; however this later gets removed

Asura

  • Magical DPS damage dealer
  • Short Sword; Katana, because of their high INT and magical attack
  • High damage for relatively low gearing

Soul Bender

  • Party Support, Defense Reduction
  • Short Sword, Katana, for high M.Atk and INT
  • Most parties want one since they can work well with any party composition; however the journey to 86 can be tiresome alone

Dark Templar * Super holds with minor magic damage and support * Short Sword, for their high M.Atk (All skills are %-based) * Probably the best "hold" class in the game, but doesn't have much creativity for skill build

Sword Master * Physical DPS and burst damage with super hold * Short Sword for use with magic sword medley / Bludgeon for use with illusion sword shockwaves * Possibly the best damage dealing class in the game right now, not really many cons

Exorcist * Physical burst damage / Magical DPS damage with crowd control capability * Battle Axe for high physical attack / Rosary for high magical attack * Very well-rounded class with a lot of utility and can conform to any party type in theory, but usually gets shoehorned into holy amulet spam

Avenger * Magical DPS damage with a super hold * Scythe, as they have a passive for this weapon * Looks cool; Usually has underwhelming damage
