Is fighter a good dps?

[Hurricane]

I like sword and shield, but just like in first game, I feel like Thief and now also mystic spear dude do SO mutch damage I just feel stupid every time I play a fighter, is there a way to make him amazing dps like idk some amazing sword I didn't found or skills, I just can't see it being that good especially that mystic spear has insane damage and litteraly immortal with that magic barier skill, I can stand in front of the drake at lvl 25 and take whole fire breath from him with a single barier and not take a single point of damage

So far, fighter seems like it's middle of the pack in terms of class dps

Tricker haven't tried but iirc no direct damage skills
Mage/Sorc/Warrior is kek
Warfarer is well, Warfarer
Archer might shine lategame
MA/MS good brr
Thief is its own level

Fighter probably is just consistent

I enjoy it but, so far fighter is more about tanking. Get good at blocking and countering to gain an advantage.

Man, I must be getting old because I didn't understand a word you just said haha

fighter is really good once you get the counter attack skill, keep popping that even against boss monsters, sadly though not the same dps as great sword, feel like fighter has more knockdowns/hold downs for your team

Fighter is strong and shield bashing things into the wall is awesome haha.

[~ Fabulous ~]

fighter is a tank

so far i find thief the best as far damage goes

[Usagi-chan]

Shield = tank

In the hands of the player yes, in comparison to warrior or thief, I'd imagine not.

But it doesnt have to do insane damage to kill things. It kills things.
I'm playing thief and melt things but I die if i'm not careful.
Fighter can get in things faces. Its badass, if you like fighter just enjoy it. Maybe dip other classes for their augments.

I do really well with a fighter and I suck at planning out gear and all that stuff. So yes. Fighter is good. I still die though. So there is that.

Theif or sorc best dmg. Thing is Id rather play something a pawn cant be. Spear and magik archer look interesting.

If you're obsessed with DPS as a fighter you might be the wrong vocation. Fighter can survive a lot of things other vocations cannot... whilst still being able to do a lot of damage.

Of course you will get out damaged by a vocation that focuses purely on offense like Thieves & Sorcerer's.

Archer is nutz. Two favorite moves are DIre/Deathly Arrow and Whirling/Spiral Arrow.

Dire/Deathly Arrow is one-shot killing a lot of mobs before combat, if it doesn't kill them it does a big chunk of damage and sends small to mid targets like the Saurians flying. Wait for your bow to flash before firing to get the maximum damage.

Whirling/Spiral Arrow has some interesting uses, it hits multiple targets multiple times depending on how far away they are from you, the further the weaker it is. Against a flock of Harpies flying towards you, it knocks them all out of the sky and stuns them on the ground. Against big targets like Cyclops it hits them multiple times taking big chunks out of their healthbars, it requires little aiming as it hits a wide berth.
