whats op and what not

[Hygelac1]

just wondering whats really op nowadays thinking of returning and dunno what to play ive heard like female priest / vagabond / swordmaster / nen master / berserker etc and the most broken class of em all is enchantress.

is all this correct and which ones best for solo play and good at end game raiding thats decent for pvp and fun to play any tips advice etc thanks

just play what you enjoy
it will probably take you a few months to get into good 100epic sets
so it is better to play classes you enjoy rather than playing what is considered great atm
they might not be top meta classes when the ozma raid comes out

same with pvp

IMO the best class in the game is Asura
and the most fun class to play is Omniblade
so if I had to choose id say play those 2 lol

by what definition of op and broken were those class regarded as interpreted by what you've heard because 2 of them should not even be in the same category by virtue of being pure support compared to the others 4 who're dmg dealers that are split into 3 pure dealers and 1 synergy dealer
overall there is a lot of nuance between theoretical on paper and actual practice, classes like m.ranger and shadow dancers' dmg values/scaling looks absurdly good on paper but in practice they never preform exactly as par with their expectation because of how difficult they are to play optimally in addition to how difficult of a time they have trying to apply themselves into the current end game because its unfavorable to them, on the other hand a class like witch sees only 2 extremely good skill and while her other skills is above average to very good, the overall values dont seem to point in any direction of her being comparable to the truly monstrous yet witch has consistently been ranked within the top 10 in terms of popularity for over half a year now because of how consistently she can output high amounts of dmg in any given scenario ever since she gotten her 3rd awakening (3a) which is a far cry from most other classes that sees huge jumps from getting 3a but then drop down again in the next month once their hype is over

of the class you listed fsader and enchantress needs to be ranked high up there in popularity because pure buffers is a necessity and so the top 3 spots is pretty much reserved for the 3 pure buffers generally, for the other classes sm, vaga and zerkers are slayers which pretty much the dev's favorite child atm due to how much favorable bias they were given at the start of 100 cap with the exception of asura, sb and possible dark templar though people are expecting them to be nerfed when the next rebalance patch arrives which is in a month or 2 because people getting real tired of the slayer bias since its been about a year and a half already and because classes like vaga really does needs to be nerfed and depends on which nen for nen master; mnen has been consistently within the top 20 in popularity since he got his 3a, he has been pushed outa the top 10 since but hes still holding on while fnen has been on an unstable up and down curve, shes not bad enough that shes just another class but shes not good enough to really stand out either so shes like in the middle somewhere

that being said the best advice is to play the class you enjoy the most, because balance can shift drastically and at any time, 2 of the now most op classes (vaga and battle mage) just last lvl cap were considered downright terrible, enchantress was the first pure buffer to be regarded as bad enough she wasnt in the top 20 let alone the top 3 initially on release and even witch was for the majority of the last lvl cap considered 2nd to dead last and not actual last by virtue of being a synergy over a pure dealer, if someone from the future told someone in the past where these classes were now they'll think they were being taken for an idiot
