Hero Class - Analysis. (V2)

[Forward]

My thoughts.

• NI is a ranged-oriented mod. Melee classes are not needed. They're just not as effective, and you want to clear waves as fast as possible, regardless meleeing bots might be more satisfying for some players.
  
• Ragnarok is only game mode which matters. Other game modes are whatever, you can play them facerolling your keyboard anyway. Cavalry just sucks, every run took ages and requires only grind, no skill.
  
• Shielders are not required at all. Exactly opposite, bad shielder play or overconfidence in shielding cause many wipes. I'm talking from public servers perspective. On events... they are still not needed, but at least they would not do stupid things (probably, and when they do you have more tomes on events anyway). On top of it there are shileders who don't know how to corner Odin and in reality it's only one place where to have shielder might be positive for the team and win some time.
  

So I'm talking from perspective for class to being effective (clear as fast as possible and don't wipe) on public Ragnarok run with best weapons and armours available from pick-up.

My class rating (trying to be objective):

1. Legionnaire. Blatantly OP. Can do insane DPS and facetank heavy hits.
   
2. MP. Much worse at surviving then Legionnaire, but faster which means better kiting.
   
3. Warden. Best class at long range, for clearing ranged bots, still good DPS at cades, can kite.
   
4. Repeaterman. Best DPS at cades, good stunlock, relatively good survivability.
   
5. Pavise Champion. Mediocre at shooting, mediocre at shielding. What makes him somewhat useful is deploying Tower Shield.
   
6. CM. One might say he kills bosses, but in reality he just steal boss kills. Like if there was no other people who can kill that boss.
   
7. Hoplite. He can use volcs. He can do some shielding. He can do some slashing.
   
8. Marauder, Halberdier. They can use volcs. They can do some slashing.
   
9. Sentinel, Sentry, Ranger. As damage dealer class you generally don't want to trade-off you DPS for some other shit.
   
10. Aventurier. Just can't imagine why would you need 1h skill on your crossbowman if you might take Repeaterman, PC or CM.
    
11. Zweihandler. OK, if you play with a shielder you might need a good slasher.
    
12. RG. Best shielder, but probably I already told you that shielders are not needed.
    
13. Juggernaut. Best melee fighter in the game where melee fighters are not needed.
