Dark Knight / Vagabond or Asura?

I can speak for Vagabonds up to lv 40.

Vagabond was the easiest class iv ever played in terms of pve.

  • Absurd attack speed with no equips and two sabers equiped.

  • A buff that can be stacked around 10 times or so that adds attack speed, movement speed and damage. You have to recast the buff every 5-10 seconds or so or you lose your stacks. You get so damn fast and poweful that you melt bosses and nearly any enemy with just x spam.

  • Huge aoe attack for basic x attacks.

  • A bunch of grabs that do a lot of damage and can be comboed into and good for starting combos. Most the attacks have a second version if you take off one of your weapons, they will function a bit differently.

  • Very strong and fast even with base gear.

  • In pvp Vagabonds do crap damage but you can hit someone a ton of times in very short amounts of time. Miss rate isn't as bad with a Vagabond either due to hitting so fast. If you get a miss, typically you can easily recover and not get screwed over. Comboing as a Vagabond has a ton of options as well. You will have a lot of skills so some will need to be inputs, but they all have potential and can string combo's well when done right.

  • Vagabonds grabs are versatile and do a lot of damage and some have huge aoes that also do a lot of damage.

  • You can hit stun the entire universe into extinction. Even if you lack damage, you can infinite combo nearly all dungeon enemies unless they have a shock wave. This is with base speed and damage, so it only gets better.

  • You have high burst damage.

In terms of negatives...

  • Without a buff, you're kind of weak but if you have a +7 or beyond weapon this usually wont matter. Also you can just stack your buff and change this.

  • Rather low hp pool compared to other classes.

  • Lacks single hit high damage, most damage is burst.

I personally didn't find much bad about Vagabond. In fact I think in pve you have an edge above other classes. Especially if you get a +11 wep or higher... but I never felt the need for a +11, like I did with Female ranger. With Franger, it was +11 or get out.
