Questions about Aran and Paladin

[Ashton Clutcher]

Which one has better overall tanky vibes? For surviving in end game, is there one that has more health and can last longer?

Also, is Aran still a fast moving fun class? Or did it get a nerf or anything over the last 10 years? I haven’t played Maple much since maybe 2012 or 2013.

Which class offers more fun and flexibility for casual gameplay? I wanted to “main” one of them ideally, even though I know it’s recommended to have multiple toons.

aran isn't a tank more like a fighter

Between those two jobs Pally may appear to be the tankier class with some nice flashy skills and passives once you get the late 4th/5th job skills (most 1-3 skills are pretty standard warrior to me with a few specific) plus passives/buffs--ngl it's also kinda fun to smash bosses with & smack them around the map; however Aran (since it's a hero job class) gets map-aoe skills (with fairly recent changes) late 4th/5th, gets the better link, and the added advantage of a passive heal for your legion plus all its job class passive skills & buffs. I think the fast moving you may be referring to is Aran's ability to "slide" around the map with a 1st job skill if I remember correctly? Just my opinion btw I'm sure you can find some gameplay videos so you can make a more informed decision.

Oh yeah i actually love usually doing AOEs and stuff to kill mobs across the whole map. It would be cool to have a class that can do that like Aran then in that case, although I do wanna build a bit tanky to survive end game content at the same time if need be. I wanna be able to balance between fun gameplay with AOEs and self-healing passives or tanky stuff.
