Tier list?

[Adahn (´ ᴥ `)]

What do you think the best vocations are?

[Corlain]

Practically everyone is "top tier" except Fighter, Warrior and Mage.

Fighter's not bad, but Assassin is godly.

[CrazyLamer]

Learn to counter and execute skills in order with fighter and you can become a god, but that goes for all classes. Some classes are just better at killing airborne enemies aswell like the ranger.

[Spelunker]

MA is the most versatile. You can do melee, ranged or magick. Plus you can do both double jump and levitate. I like all the other ranged vocations too.

[Heehee]

Yellow vocations and Mystic Knight at the top, everything else at the bottom.

[Reynard]

This is based on my own experience and observations and is only applicable to BBI environment.

In normal conditions of Gransys, it doesn't really matter at all.


#1: Mystic Knight / Magick Archer

I'm not even going to explain this one.

#2: Strider / Ranger

Insane DPS, Striders are amazingly effective at close range and when climbing, while Rangers are ranged DPS machines. They're not at #1 only because Living Armor is a thing.

#3: Sorcerer / Fighter

They have their drawbacks, but despite them, they can be really good at what they do. Fighters are nearly untouchable if played correctly and Sorcerers' spells can be devastating if given the room and time needed to charge them. They both get bonus style points.

#4: Assassin / Mage

There's almost nothing a Mage can do that a Sorcerer can't, healing is only good early on if you struggle and don't have enough curatives, and later it can actually become annoying.

As for Assassin, it has nothing exceptional among their skills, save that cheesy Masterful Kill (which you won't be able to use to deal with everything), and Dire/Deadly Gouge is actually good, but the rest of their abilities and augments are mostly garbage. Striders are still better at climbing and have access to Brain Splitter along with Hailstorm Volley, Rangers have Tenfold Flurry and Reaper's Arrow.

Assassins have none of it, and they don't have the Fighter's Hindsight Strike or Dragon's Maw either.
Assassin is this game's jack-of-all-trades, who are notorious for being masters of none.

#5: Warrior

Decent damage per swing... too bad it takes forever to execute even a basic combo.
Only three skill slots. Garbage damage overall. No shield/block to protect themselves like the other red vocations, very few i-frames, so they can't pull off what Fighters can. The only thing they're potentially good at is staggering and knocking enemies down. Provided they aren't staggered or knocked down themselves before they can do it to their enemies...

Assasin, MK and MA are udeniably the best with Rangers and Sorc also being very good, everything else is not so great at least for endgame content and BBI. Ranged and magic are pretty much a must in this game so Fighters and Warriors just feel gimped in comparion with Mage only being good for pawns since they're basically just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Sorc with basic spells and healing, Strider are just weaker Sins with less weapon options.

Now if you care about min-maxing then to get the most out of magic classes like MK and MA you'll need to spend alot of time as a Sorc since they have the biggest magic stat growth between each level up of any class, likewise the Assasin has the biggest strength stat growth of any class so if your looking to get the most out of any str or magic based class at max level you might want to take heed of this but if you aren't concerned with min-maxing than you can just ignore everything I just said, hope this helped.

Strider is much better than Assassin. Most of Assassins skills are situational, the parry is useless against Daimon 2nd form and Death for instance and thousand kisses would demolish anything if you can get a climb on so gouge is not needed, most of their bow skills also suck ass. Compare that to strider which has two incredibly useful bow skill (hailstorm volley and fracture dart), Brainsplitter which is extremely powerful against most enemies in the game, fastest climb speed and climb damage multiplier. The only reason to play assassin is for the stats growth.

Magick archer is absolutely the best vocation in the entire game. Access to every element attacks without the need of applying elemental buffs, easy to spam attacks, high dps in either magic or physical attacks, so versatile to the point of not having any weaknesses, and access to the skill thousand kisses. It is pretty much the instant win no skill required vocation.
Mystic knight is 2nd only due to the fact that setup is require for it to work at its maximum performance.
