Is there a "best" class to play? Or a "worst" class?

hey! thats what i play! well not really since i have adds on my gear..

Don't know why people are saying duelist is the worst. Duelist is hands down the best class for an archer build. It is superior to ranger in absolutely every way. You get more attack speed and more projectile damage for less points. You're closer to BM and US and the left side of the tree where all the good stuff is, and IR is pretty much the same distance as it is from ranger. Truthfully, I cannot think of a single benefit ranger has over duelist, unless you're trying to go to the top right of the tree, which I can't see why an archer would unless you're trying to make some super high crit Lioneyes build. But if you do that it's gonna be pretty rough to get Static Blows and Cataclysm.

Templar area seems optimal.

too bad template voicing doesn't say the callous and cool crap like a shadow...and he's a f'g LEFTY. Wtf :(

Extremely ironic to hear people consider ranger one of the worst classes but at the same time people call this game "path of health nodes" etcetc


I'm sorry youre bad at the game, but let tell you a secret... ranger has access to more health nodes than any other class


ranger can get even more than marauder.


GLHF

how is this supposed to work?
didn knew they got nodes that only ranger can access.
as a LA ranger you go for marauder start. means with marauder you can get the same route backwarts to ranger. basicly means you get the same amount of everything right?

(exept for the proj damage path of the ranger start which makes them the best class for lategame LA

Ranger is hands down the worst class in the game. A good class vs a bad class is basically all about the starting nodes. Ranger has the worst starting nodes because you are forced to waste 4 points on utter garbage evade nodes that aren't even good.

To those that say LA ranger etc... The revamped duelist is a much much better LA archer than the ranger can ever be. They both have access to projectile damage nodes at start, both will move to mara/temp area as soon as possible, but the difference is the duelist do no need to waste 4 points on garbage evade only nodes, whereas the ranger must take them to move to mara/temp area.

Those high level rangers on the ladder are there because when they started the duelist was not revamped and was garbage. To make a more offensive archer you have no choice but to make a ranger (defensive variant is the mara), now with the revamp there is zero reason to make a ranger archer over a duelist archer, LA or otherwise.

This is also the reason the ranger is the least flexible class. Because the only thing that ranger class offers are some starting projectile nodes (which is now shadowed by the revamped duelist). And their general area (lower mid right) is universally agreed the worst area in the passive tree.

Why is that a bad thing? I think the mid right side of the passive skilltree should be vastly improved which would make ranger much more attractive.

Duelist was lacking and the buff was extremely welcome.

People will never stop complaining.


"Best" class and "Worst" Class depends on what kind of build you want to play.

So accessability counts for nothing? Sounds hella important to me.

for pre-level 50 this is the way I see the classes

Marauder
defense - 10
offence - 6

Templar
defense - 8
offense - 8

Witch
defense - 4
offence - 8

Shadow
defense - 5
offence - 6

Ranger
defense - 5
offense - 5

Duelist
defense - 7
offense - 7

overall it is the easiest to get a solid aoe skill for low level clearing and the defenses to keep trucking on a Templar...
